RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WILL ENTER CHINA BY AGREEMENT OF THE

1000 MARINES At THE CAPITAL
DowAGER EMPRESS HAS DROPPED PRETENsoNs AND OPENLY
EXPRESSES SYMPATHY FOR THE B0XERS-SlTUATION
AT CHIN KANG IS SERIOUS.

New York, June 12.-London has been
severed temporarily from communication
with the two new centers of the most In
teresting centers, Pekn and Prestoria,
says the London Tribune correspondent.
The Boxers like the Beers have cut the
wires and Tien Tsin and Taku have not
known with precision what was happen
ing at Pekin where the imperial govern
ment is censuring the regular troops for
offering resistance to the rebels and COM
plimenting the fanatical mobs for their
patriotism and public spirit in killing
foreigners and burning their property.
The force Of over 1000 marines which
left Tien Tsin on Sunday and yesterday
are reported to have reached the capital
in safety. The presence of this force was
urgently needed for the Dowager EN-
press has dropped all pretensions and is
in open sympathy with the enemies Of
the missionaries and foreigners and all
the mission property at Pekin is menaced
with the fate of the American station at
Tung-Chau where the buildings have
been destroyed and the native Christians
murdered by the soldiers commissioned
to protect them.
1t is the story of Armenia repeated in
Pekin. All Christians converts and for
eigners at the capital are at the mercy
of the mObs, as we'll as the regular SOL
diers. Unless marines from thirty-one
ships of war can protect them. A re-as-
surfing feature of the situation is ap-
parent in the heartiness with which the
great powers are cooperating In a deter.
mination to protect foreign interests ir
China. The United States government Is
accepting It's responsibility for the lives
and property of Americans.
Reports that Russian troops have
crossed the frontier and that six thou
sand men from the garrison at Port Ar
thur are preparing to go to Pekin under
an arrangement aged upon by the Euro
pean powers, are not fully confirmed but
the crisis is SO momentous that jealousies

STEAMER ALPHA
FEAR NOME VESSEL CRUSHED IN
THE ICE-SHLPS' WHERE
ABOUTS UNKNOWN,

Chicago, June IA special to the Rec
ord from Tacoma, Wash, says:
News of the Cape Nome fleet was re-
ceived here today in a letter from John
Gleason. who sailed on the South Port
land. The letter was dated May 10 and
says the Bering sea was not open. Fears
were entertained lest the steamer Alpha,
which sailed April Is with 300 passengers,
was crushed in the ice on her second at
tempt to get through to Cape Nome from
Dutch Harbor. The passengers were
restive and fearful of the Arctic dangers
to be encountered when they put out
from port the second time on May 9. The
schooner returned to Unalaska Nav IS.
She met large field of ice 300 miles to
the north, but saw nothing of the Alpha.

CABINET Meeting.
CHINESE SITUATION ABSORBS
ATTENTION or MEMBERS.
United States Will Not Engage in
Political Schemes Which Might
Involve the Powers.

Washington, June 12.-The cabinet
meeting was attended today by Secre-
taries Hay, Hitchcock, Long and Gage
and Postmaster General Smith. 1t was
devoted largely to discussion of the Chi
nese situation. Secretary Hay laid be-
fore the cabinet dispatches from Minister
Conger which indicates that the situa-
ton is very critical The steps that have
been taken to reinforce Admiral kempf
We're gone over. 1t was decided to stand
by the policy which has been entered
upon of pushing measures for the protec-
ton of the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens and CT acting independently
as was possible. It may be that in the
accomplishment of this result the forces
of the powers will have to act In unison
for the protection of all foreign residents
in the disturbed districts, but this is to
be the extent of the American activity.
The Chinese government will be looked
to under the general laws of the comfy
of nations to restore order and to make
such reparation as is proper. From all
the political schemes in which many OF
the powers may become involved the
United States is to hold aloof.
This is the general policy heretofore
outlined and It will be adhered to. The
navy department has cabled directly to
Rear Admiral Kempf at Taku to inform
him that marine renforcements have
been ordered to him from Manila.

CONFERENCE.
Secretary Hay Calls Meeting of
Diplomats. ..s...

Washington, June 12.-Secretary Hay
has invited the diplomatic representa-
tives in Washington of all the American
republics to meet him In the diplomatic
room of the state department on
Wednesday morning to discuss the time
and place of holding the next interna-
tional conference of American states
and such preliminary details as may be
agreed upon at this time. 1t is UNDER
stood that nearly all the ministers here
are now in possession of instructions
from their governments on the subject,
and definite conclusions will be reached.
It appears that practical unanimity has
been reached to accept the invitation Of
President Diaz for holding the confer
ence in the City of Mexico, and that
next January is regarded as the most
favorable time. Congress has appro-
priated $4,000 for the participation Of

The steamer Rival came in this morn
ing from Bristol bay, on Bering sea,
within two days run of Cape Nome. Cap
tain Johnson had no Nome news. except
that the Bering sea was clear of ice al
ready, the season being 1v weeks earlier

will be delayed by ice.
He reports the discovery of gold in pay
ing quantities on the headwaters Of
Nusegak river, tributary of Bristol
hay. He was told of the discovery by a
missionary there, but the news was sup
pressed by the Alaska Packers associa-
tion. which has eight canneries on the

New York. June 12-There Is some
comment in banking circles over the
presence of NJ. Rothstein. of st. Peters
burg in this city. His visit to the
country is said to be in the interest of a
large Russian government railway loan.
MrRo;hstein called on President Still
man. of the National City Bank. Mr..

talk about the loating of Russian bonds
when even United States bonds are not
in active demand and the presidential
