substantial article into the Woodruff boom,
which came 10 earth again last night when
Senator Platt's attention was called to IT. The
Senator was with Mrs. Platt and State Chair
man Odell the veranda Of the Oriental
Hotel at Manhattan Beach, when a Tribune re-
porter saw him, quoted to him the statement In
tine Brooklyn paper already referred to. and
asked him if he had been correctly quoted. Mr.
Platt seldom shows any irritation over polit-
ical story. but he did not conceal MS dlspleasure
last night.
I never made any such statement" said he
with emphasis The whole thing is lie, and
if Mr. Woodruff has said that have said any
such thing he has said to his own detriment
l don't believe he ever said it. do not care to
read or discuss the report"
While Senator Platt's emphatic disclaimer has
anchored the Woodruff boom to Kings County
soil once more. there is every prospect of Mr.
Woodruff being a leading figure in the race f.
the Governorship nomination. His friends in
Brooklyn have received substantial encourage
ment from Senator Platt and Chairman Odel.
They may have magrified it, but it was learned
last night to a certainty that they not acting

candidate out in the open. Before starting yes

could help saying. under the circumstances, that
he was gratihed over what seems to be taking
place, and no man could help being a candidate
under the present conditions.
A State leader who saw both Senator Platt
and Chairman Oden yesterday said last night:
Woodruff is likely to have the laugh the peo-
ple who the talk about Waistcoats had
killed him politically. The thing we sometimes call
luck seems to be with him. Odel Will not take

London, Aug. Il, a. m.-The rumor that the
allies have reached Peking seems to be con-
frmed from several sources A telegram from
the italian commander at Taku states definitely
that the attack on the capital began on Mon
day, and adds that the Ministers are in com
rnuDication with the relief force. No official
news has. however, yet been received direct
from Peling.
The difficulties encountered by the allies are
strikingly illustrated in a message from an
Express" correspondent with the relief force

London. Aug. II, l a. m.-The news Of the
rapid progress made by the Peking relief force
received Wednesday evening increased the
tension with which intelligence from China was
awaited yesterday. There was a general eX-
pectation that decisive information might be
received in the course Of the day, and at an
early hour many press men and others called at
the War Office and the Chinese Embassy to
make inquiries. only TO learn that news had
been received up to evening. The Foreign Office
also visited in vain. nothing having been
heard there since the last cipher dispatch from
Sir Claude Macdonald was handed in two days
ago. The Chinese Minister received cable dis
patches from China in the course Of the after
noon, and promptly drove down to the Foreign
Office, but it was understood that he had no
definite announcement to make with reference
to the absorbing topic Of the moment. Little
value was attached TO statements in a sensa-
uonal New-York paper and equally sensa-
uonal London journal that the allies had
reached Peking on Monday. This is quite likely
to be true. as II is known from Admiral Remey
that the allies were at Tung-Chow the 18th
and the officer commanding the British lines
of communication telegraphed Monday that
General Gaselee was probably in Peking that
