SOLDIERS NEEDED IN CHINA
WILL PROBABLY LEAVE SOUTH
AFRICA FOR PEKTN AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE
NEW PHASE OF SITUATION
VIII the Chinese Sacrifice the For
ei9ners They Now Hold as Host
ages If an Advance Is Made
ON Their Capital.

NEW YORK, Aug. LA dispatch from
London says: The Campaign in South
Africa Is now closely connected with
China, for the speedy surrender Of the
Beers will enable the British govern
ment to take more decisive line in the
impending conflict than 1t has been fol-
lowing. There is probably no truth In
the current report that Lord Roberts has
telegraphed to Lord Lansdowne that the
war will be speedily brought to an end,
for the war office has remarkable tai
ent for keeping Its secrets and Lord
Roberts is not in the habit of forecast
ing events There is, however, a strong
conviction among the members of parlia-
ment that the close Of hostilities Is In
sight.
Only about LOCO burghers. with a sin
gle gun, are reported officially as having
surrendered to Gen. Hunter In the Gale
don valley, but the Harrismith and Vrede
commandos will probably be brought in
with the remaining artillery. The num-
Der of prisoners is not likely to exceed
5000, since there are many desertions
The collapse of the Free State force
Will be complete when Gen DeWet and
Mr.. Steyn are surrounded and compelled
to surrender, and to Gen. Botha has
been credited the intention of giving up
the fight when his allies are dispersed
Lord Roberts has ordered Gen Hamil-
TONS column to Pretoria, either to re-
inforce Col. Broadwood or to relieve
Gen. Baden-Powell, and Gen French is
either halting at Middleburg Until Sid
Redvers Butler can send a division north
from Ermelo, or is pushing on to koo-
mattipoort. Gen. Baden-Poweu and
Lord Methuen have an enemy in con-
siderable force to fight west of Pretoria,
and Gen. Dewet IS dangerous until he is
caught, but there is a clearing prospect
for speedy close of hostiifties In the
Transvaal and the release of large
British army for service in China.
The British cabinet met yesterday at
short notice, and without doubt discuss
ed the new aspect Of the Chinese ques-
ton. This Is the use made of the for
eign legations and refugees as hostages.
Whatever may be the view Of the state
department at Washington the officials
here are convinced that the Chinese gov
eminent, under the guise Of protection
offered to the legations, Is seeking to
hold back the allied forces until terms
of peace can be settled on basis of
financial indemnities The legations will
be exposed to an attack from regular
troops or from the Boxers if the allied
army advances from Tien< Tsin. The
Chinese have 600 hostages, whose blood
will be declared to be on the heads OF
the advancing battalions, and hence it
will be dangerous for an army to march
on Pekin until the foreigners have been
delivered from the critical position.
Press dispatches yesterday were mea-
ger, the most important point being the
announcement on Chinese authority that
the legations were safe July "a.

Just and Urgent Aim of Washington
AuthOrities


Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The safety m
the ministers at Pekin being temporarily
assured, the attention of the government
Is now being directed towards two OBJ
jects, first to effect the permanent safety
OF the ministers by bringing them away
from Pekin, and second, to hasten the adj
vance on the Chinese capital. The Chi
hese government is employing every de-
vice automatically, to prevent the for
ward movement of the international coll
umn. Ii Hung Chang is the main re-
lance to encompass this purpose. but he
is hampered by the obtuseness of the
Pe1n officials. Our government Is will
ing to render such assistance as il proper-
~ can, but 1t must be upon the terms
already lai{ down. 1t is said here that
the one possible means Of stopping the
forward movement of the column within
the reach of the Chinese government is
an instant compliance with the first of
the demands Of the powers, namely that
the ministers be put in free communica-
ton with their governments. 1t has been
suggested TO the Peldn authorities that
they send an embassy Immediately to
lien Tsin, clothed with full authority
TO deal with the situation, and given
unlimited power to AFFORD reparetion for
the injuries inflicted upon the interna-
uonals. II this is preceded by the release
OF the ministers from siege. there is a
possibility that the powers temporarily
will suspend the military movement
which may, in the end, be rendered un-
necessary II the embassy meets the de-
mands of Europe and America
Meanwhile, Admiral Remey cables that
more marines-those who crossed on the
Grant, under Maj. Biddle-are being sent
to Tien Tsin, indicating the intention OF
the military commanders there to make
an early start

PRETORIA, Tuesday, July S1.-Mrs.
Botha was the guest of Lord Roberts at
dinner yesterday evening.
The Boer animosity TO President Kru-
ger grows out of the fact that he and
his officials are persuading the people
that South African paper money is as
good as Bank of England notes because
it is based on ihalienab,e state securities,
even though the state should be con-
quered. AS the English have not recog-
nized the contention, many burghers have
been ruined, and much misery prevails.

The conductor was in a quandary and
as he stood before the boy the passen-
gers in the car leaned forward to ascer-
tain what was going on. They talked it
over among themselves and each person
wondered how it was that such a bright
little lad should be travelling by himself.
The conductor went through the train
taking up his tickets The lad looked
around him and then back again to that
window to see what was happening out

When the conductor reached the end
of the train he went back TO the coach
to the little boy and talked to him.
AS he sat there talking the conductor
had plan formed as TO the disposal Of
the boy. Since ne had no ticket ne con

HIS TRIP WAS SHORT
Little Boy Placed on Train
Bound for Guthrie.
NOTE ON HIS COAT
Told a Story Which Caused
His Return.

Early yesterday morning a little. fair
haired, blue-eyed boy sat in the Santa
Fe station waiting for a train going
south. He was a demure little lad and
there was a note pinned on his coat. He
said in answer to questions that he was
going to meet his father at Guthrie, but
more than that he would not say.
When the southbound Santa Fe train
came in the lad was placed in a seat in
the chair car. He leaned back and look
ed out Of the window without the least
concern as to his arrival at his destina-
ton.
After time the olue-coated. immacu-
late conductor came along and asked the
lad where his ticket was. The little fell
low opened his eyes wide with wonder
and said that he did not understand
When the conductor asked the question
again the lad pointed to the note on his
coat
The conductor bent down and unpinned
the note and opening it read. This is
what he read:
ITO the Conductor-This little boy 8
father will meet him at Guthrie. Please
see that ne is put off there His fathers
name is A. E. Pate and he viii defray
all expenses
There was no signature The conduc-
tor read the note over again and then
looked at the boy. The little lad mean
while resumed his looking out of the car
window. The conductor read the note
again and after carefully looking the boy
over asked him his name. He knew that
his name was Carl and that he was four
years old. That was all. He knew that
he was to meet his father and asked how
long it would bebefore he would "see

chief and boy stopped in Bissantz's bak-
cry. and it was there that the home Of
the boy was found.
It was ascertained that the lad had
been living with family By the name
of Taught on Martinson avenue. His
mother had deserted the boy and his
father some time ago. The father, after
remaining here for soma time. lert his
boy in the charge Of the Taught family,
paying for his board in advance, and
went TO Oklahoma. There he engaged IN
farming near Guthrie and has been quite
successful. A few days ago he became
DESTROYS Of seeing the child and wrote,
asking that ne be sent to Guthrie.
He had told the family that he would
pay all expenses. and they. thinking OF
no better plan, had taken the lad to the
station, to be placed on the train for
Guthrie.
After the train had arrived at Guthrie
the father looked for his boy. He failed
to find him and Immediately telegraphed
here to find out about the matter. He
also telegraphed ticket for the boy,
with Instructions that if he did not get
away on the morning train 10 send him
on the evening train.
The little lad was bundled up again
and last night was placed on the south
bound train This time he had a ticket
and was not subjected to the question
ing Of the conductor as to his destina-
ton, etc.

voluntary committee force Of the asso-

Of the work. Not only are there training
schools and conferences for the general
secretaries and physical directors, but
conventions and training conferences for
the education Of the volunteer working
