London, Sept. 12.-France has for
mally adhered to the Russian proposal
to withdraw from Pekin to Tientsin.

to follow suit.

12.-The Paotingfu expedition leaving
today numbers 1000 men
This is the punitive expedition re-
ferred TO in recent dispatches, which
starts TO avenge the massacres of mis-
sionaries at Paotlngfu by the Boxers.
Taku, Sept. 6, via Shanghai, Sept
12.-The expedition TO Paotingfu is

and Americans. 500
The latest report in Pekin is that the
en- press is in hiding in the province
Of Shansi and that the Japanese troops
nave gone in pursuit In the immedi
ate ne. ghborhood of Pekin itself all
is quiet, the allied troops being en-
gagged in recruiting their strength after
their trying march.
A project is being discussed to
transfer the winter quarters OF the
British and American forces from
Tongku TO Shanghai-Kwan, at the east
end of the great wall and about 150
miles southwest of New Chwang. This
port has peculiar advantages as a mil
itary post and is a railway terminus
only some hours distant from Tientsin.
The only objection to this project is
the lack of troops to guard the rail
way communication.
Among the allied force at Tientsin
an expedition is preparing to go TO
Paoting Flu, where the Boxers are re-
ported TO be massing In this expedi-
ton the forces at Pekin will cooper

troops are concentrating in a general
advance on the town of Mukden. in
Manchuria. II is said that they in
tend to destroy the place. This will
probably be the next important event
in North China.
The British are making extensive
hospital preparations at Wei Hal Wei,
where a winter campaign is being de-
cided upon.
The city of Tientsin is as orderly as
any town in the United States. The
provisional government established by
the allies is so successful that many of
the outlying villages are making petit
tions for a similarly organized con-
troll RALPH d. PAINE

slender figure, the curves of his long
neck, the slender hands and feet.

quite as much TO the general misap-
