lar anxiety for information respecting
the sad end of Baron Won Ketteler. and
in the course of the afternoon Secre
tary Hermann. of the embassy. paid a
special visit to the state department to
inquire. NJ. Thiebaut. the charge of
the French embassy. also called in
quest of information. it was said. These
visits revived rumors that an effort is
afoot to reach an international agree
ment respecting the conduct of the
forces of the powers in China.
Welcome Japnn's Offer.
1t was said in the afternoon at the
state department that the only news
was that there seemed to be a unan-
nous agreement on the part of the
powers to welcome with the utmost
cordially Japan's offer to furnish re-
endorsements to the forces now operat-
ing along the Pei-Ho river in the effort
TO reach Picking, as Japan. alone of the
powers, is prepared to throw into China
whatever number of troops may be
needed. The news to that effect had
come to the state department. from all
directions. and particularly from Eng
land. Russia and France. AS far as the
state department is concerned, it had
previously accorded Japan free hand
in the matter of the number of troops
to be employed in China, upon volun-
tary and courteous statement of the
purpose of the employment of these
forces.
AT the state department it was said
that all that had been done toward
adding to the strength of the force
which Gen. Chaffee will command had
been confined to the adoption of meas
ures looking to the touching at some
convenient cable port on the Asiatic
side of the Pacific of such of the reg
ular army regiments as are to be dis
patched to the Philippines to relieve
the volunteer troops there, in order
that they might be diverted to China if
necessary. However. not single addi-
tional organization has been ordered
there, nor has any effort been made to
hasten the movement of troops out to
Manila for the purpose of relieving the
volunteers.

Breaking Away.

breaking Away.
While nothing but sinister news
comes lrom northern China, southern
China is seemingly breaking away
from the empire. All the provinces
south of the Yellow river, whose vice
roys and governors maintain friendly
relations with the powers through the
consuls. have been informally consti-
tuted into a confederacy. with Nankin
as the capital. According to an EN-
press cable from Shanghai. dated July
2the southern viceroys wholly disavow
Prince Tuan's government. They have
practically constituted an Independent
state, extending from the Hoang-Ho to
British and .French frontiers. Little
else to illuminate the profound obscur-
ity of the situation reaches cable
points.
Surprised Mt Delay.
Washington. July 3.-Some surprise
is expressed here in weil-informed cir
cles over the apparently neNplicable
delay of the combined forces to move
forward. 1t is felt that if a move is to
be made toward the capital it should
be done promptly. The note of alarm
has been sounded, said well-known
diplomat, and something should be
done Immediately. The force at hand
large number of Chinese imperial
troops are located in and about the city,
it is said that most of them are loyal
to the government. Although Picking
is surrounded by the great wall. yet it
is said the city could be approached
without difficulty. An official well
versed in Chinese affairs said that some
hurried action should be resorted to in
an effort to dispose of the uncertainty
which now exists regarding the fate of
the foreigners in Picking.

department regarding facts-it is
simply matter of construction and
application. The Signal contends
for it's rights to sell subscriptions in
any quantity to any person and up
on this point we can get no reply
from the department. Mr.. Perkins
thinks the rule enforced against
the Signal, if continued should be
enforced against all other papers, and
he believes the Oregonian, North

cited the department, will be invest
igated. We shall see. Mr.. Perkins

tleman.
