here. at 80 this morning. While go
ing at a good rate of speed ii ran in
TO an open switch at Folsom. The en-
CINE was overturned and the three bag
gage cars were derailed but no one was
injured.
An examination of the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that
the switch had been tempered with
for the apparent purpose of wrecking
n train Whether it was done with the
intention of wrecking the express bear
ing the currency could only be conjec-
many in the vicinity that it was the
work Of small boys.
The railroad officials have placed de-
teCtives on the case and have Offered
a reward of $500 for the arrest or CON
viction of those tampering with the

Just learned from Admiral Seymour at
Tien Tsin. foreigners there are hard
pushed. REMEY.
Admiral Remey, the commandments
chief of the United States naval forces
on the Asiatic station, having arrived
| in Chinese waters, is in command over
the head Of Admiral Kempff. whom he
| ranks. 1t is believed that his cable
gram, this morning, relating to the
| landing Of the 9th Infantry, has lost a
date line. for it is not doubted that
the troops were landed at Taku instead
| of at Chin Che Foo as his message
reads.
Admiral Remey has scored another
credit through the formal statement
by the Chinese government that the
bombardment OF the forts at Taku,
which was done over his protest, and
without his participation, precipitated
the crisis at Pekin.
Quartermaster General LudingtOn
has been making inquiry as to the
character of weather to be expected
in that portion of China where HOSTILE
ties are in progress, with a view to
in the matter of clothing Reports
show that the climate in the fall and
winter is even more rigid than that of
northern New York and New England.
Consequently the allowance of winter
clothing already ordered has been
doubled and the Meade and the Sum
ner will now take out 5000 winter out
fits.
The navy department has detached
Commander X. p. Rodgers from the
command of the Nashville. now in Chi
nese waters. and ordered Commander
n. f.. Niles to the command of that
vessel Commander Niles. who is on
duty at the Norfolk yard, will sail.
Aug. 3. for the Asatic station and
Commander Rodgers will proceed home
upon his arrival there.

London, July 1l.-535 2. Nit was
strongly rumored in the Service and
Parliamentary clubs. this afternoon
that the British government was pre-
pared to send 100000 Indian troops to

Great Britain to add to her present re-

ly be asserted that strong British re-
Inducements will be on their way to
the Far East before the end of Sep
