with 2.O44 men. Serious disturbances /
aore taking place at Yung-Nar. Flu |
and Meng-Tse, as we'll as other points /.
at considerablue distance from tho /
capital.
The whole Chinese empire seems t. |
be in a ferment.
While Admiral Seymour with the in
ternational relief column is forcing his
way to Pekin, several of the towers
are arranging largely to reiuforcs
their details at Tien Tsin. Germany
poses sending $500 men. Great Britain
sent coo from Hong Kong yesterda"
and 400 will go Sunday. Italy has or
dered 900 to hold themselves in read
mess. Russia, according to Il s..
Petersburg dispatch OF Wednesday,
has decided to bring her force at Ten
Tsin up to 5000 Thus the com oined
forces at Tien Tsin VIII probably soon
be about 10000 men.
The explicit statement made Yes,er-
day afternoon in the house of COM
mons by the parliamentary secrctarv
of the foreign office, Mr.. Broderlck
with reference to the identity of opin-
ion among the powers upon the ques-
tion of an application of force and the
method of applying it, is accepted by
all of the morning papers as quite suf-
ficient for the present and the hope is
generally expressed that nothing will
happen to diminish the harmony. An
incident, however, has already oc.
CURED, involving the British AMI the
French at Tien Tsin, which nearly
ended in violence. A dispatch from
Tien Tsin dated yesterday says:
For some days the French and the
Russian authorities have been jealous
because of the supposed facilities Civ
en- to the British authorities by the
British employees of the China rail-
ways. Yesterday some French maries
attempted to take charge of an engine
required at the front. Locomottce In
spector Wier refused to give L., the
engine and a Frenchman ATTEMPTED
to bayonet him Weir caught the muZ
zle of the rifle and the bayonet PASSED
over his shoulder. For a moment ser
ious trouble between the French ana
British was imminent, but the Dr1n,2r
action of British consul and Ma
val officers backed by the American
consul and the railway officials pre-
vented collision. Conciliatory ex-
pressions were exchanged. The French
consul withdrew his opposition und
the British remained in charge of the
engine.
LONDON, JUNE IA special d s.
patch from Shanghai dated today. saws:
\ report has reached here that the
British, American and japanese minis
ters in PeSin favor the restoration of
Emperor khwang Su, but that the
French and Ru sian mini ters insist up
on the powers taking charge of China.
1t is further reported that the further
respective divisions of the country have
already been assigned. The belief is that
the withdrawal of the British ships from
the Yang Use Kiang is an indication
of Great Britains decIaimer of the
sphere theory"
Later reports from Tien Tsin confirm
the news of the burning Of the japanese
legation, but the rumor that a minister
has been murdered has not been con-
firmed. Fifteen hundred Russians. with
four guns, have arrived outside of Pc
kin. This makes four thousand Russian
who have landed.
1t is regarded as certain that the jap
