CHAFFEE TO LEAD.
The General Placed In Command Of
American Troops in China.
VIII he Given an Adequate Force
Dispatch from Chefoo An
nonces That Seymour Has
Been Relieved.

Washington, June 27.-The purpose
of the government to place an ade-
quate military force in China was
made perfectly clear Tuesday when
orders were issued to Brig. Gen. Adna
II. Chaffee to take command OF the
forces in China, and to proceed at
once to assume his new duties. More
significant, probably, than the as.
signment itself was the wording OF
the formal orders to Gen. Chaffee. Is
sued late in the day by Acting Sec
rotary of War Meiklejohn, directing
him to stake command of the troops
ordered to China" and to proceed to
Picking by the way Of San Francisco
and Taku, accompanied by his aids.
1t had been expected that the mill
tary forces would be concentrated at
Chefoo or some other convenient mil.
itary base, but the direction to pro.
coed to Peking, the capital Of the Chi.
nese empire, indicated a firm de.
termination on the part of the gov
eminent authorities to have strong
military force ut the seat of the Chi
nese government.

Washington. June 2s.-The develop

were important and interesting. The
Chinese minister's report of the de-
parture of the foreign ministers and
their guards from Picking greatly re-
lieved the officials here, who took 1t
as the first tangible evidence that the
imperial Chinese government had q
full realization of the enormity of
permitting the ministers to come to
personal harm, and were thus under
taking as far as lay in their power to
observe the amenities of international
exchange.

institution, and Roman Catholic
ladies Of this city and vicinity:
Our Rt. Rev. Bishop has expressed
a desire to have the ladies of his do
cese, as well as the members of the
Alumnae, assemble at Mount de Chan
tai to join in the exercises of a Spirit
ual Retreat to commence on the even
ing of the 18th of June, and continue
to the morning of the oath. The direc-
tor of the Retreat will be Rev. F. X.
Mccarthy. S. j.
Amid the hurry and hustle of the
world, our many duties and absorbing
occupations, we often realize that we
should devote more time to the spirit
ual element of our nature, and that a
few days retirement, in which we
might commune with God, draw nearer
to Him, and gain that strength which
is so necessary amid the many trials
and temptations of our daily life,
would be of the greatest value to us.
Let us then embrace this opportunity
offered to us by Divine Providence
for in this retreat the body as well as
the soul will be invigorated and
strengthened. There will be times of
rest and recreation between the lee
lures, there will be the reunion of old
friends, and everything conducive to
the health and comfort of the ladies,
who attend the retreat, will be care
fully attended to. Those who desire
to make the retreat should reach the
Academy on Monday evening. June
the 18th.

from Wheeling, with quite a number
from this city. Miss Hipkins gave her
friends royal entertainment and the
evening was most enjoyably spent
The Intelligencer reporter of this
city has wonderful imaginative pow-
ers, as his report Thursday morning
about street car narrow escape at Tho
Centre street crossing of the G. & p.
The fact is there was no narrow escape
and the only danger was in this m
telligencer reporters head. as the car
was at Centre and Fifth streets when
the train passed. Such items are OF
no interest to the public and reporter
who will I'LL space by taking such
news will soon find out that the con-
fidence of the public will be lacking,
also he Is doing dishonorable act
to the conductor and motorman OF
the car. The passengers and all were
disguised with the fake report.
AS the new additions to the Laugh
lin tin plant and the action which win
be taken by Council is still yet ques-
ton, but after interrogating a number
of business men and other prominent
citizens, all OF them express the opin-
ion that the city should grant this
company what they have asked. Tho
citizens should give more encourage
ment to this new industry. and as one
prominent business man stated, the
public should take some movement in
regard to this matter and show the
company that the citizens appreciate
their new addition; also that the city
believe in giving the company their
request. All Martins Ferry people
should encourage new industries and
make this city greater.
