CHIFFEE'S FaRAWELL, ORDER.
American Relief Expediion Ended
 Troops Leave China Wednesday.

Pekin, May 19-General Chaffee at midnight last night issued his farewell order ending the American relief expe- dition in China The American troops will board the transports next Wed nesday at Taku and Thursday will leave direct for Manila. M. Pichon, the French minister, left here for home this morning.
 A meeting of the foreign ministers will be held tomorrow, but 1t is not likely that much will be accomplished as some of the ministers have not yet received instructions from their home governments. The ministers, comment ing upon the blame attached to them by the people for their slowness say that as a matter of fact, they are pow erless to act without orders from home. One of the foreign ministers told the correspondent of the Associated Press yesterday that he had been instructed to cooperate heartily with the other ministers. He found, upon consulta ton with his colleagues that their in structions were absolutely different from his. Consequently cooperation was practically impossible.

 tary Cortelyou announced that she had passed comfortable night and that the slight fever noted last night had subsided The president did not attend church, but remained at home nearly all day, going out for a short walk just before noon. There were many callers at the Scott, residence to-day. There was a general feeling that the crisis had been passed and that Mrs. Mckinley would continue to gain. strength.
 No definite date has yet been decided upon when the president will start for the national capital, but it is hoped that Mrs. Mckinley will be able to travel within few days. Secretary Long left this morning for Colorado Springs to visit his daughter, who Is i'll.

Yachtsmen Think We'll of Her-Sits
 Gracefully in the Water,

Boston May 19.-The torrential rain and the general dreariness of Sunday did not prevent hundreds of curious sightseers from visiting the Atlantic works, in East Boston, to-day, to see the yacht Independence, which was suc- cessfully launched Saturday night, as she lay moored in the slip there. Yachtsmen and others were anxious to see her afloat. She was subjected to critical scrutiny and the general opin- ion was favorable. She sits on the. water gracefully. Her sheer is pleas ing to the eye. When she comes down to her load water line, she will look prettier still She has business like appearance in every line and when her mast is stepped, and sails bent, she will be every inch a racer.
 Her crew more than ever believe that she will be allowed to race against the Constitution, so confident are they that the business like looks of the Independ- ence will be a great argument in her favor,

SERTIAN ROYAL FAMILY.
King Not to Abdfoate, Queen Not to be
 Banished.

Belgrade, May 19.-All rumors re- garding the publication of King Alex ander, the resignation of the cabinet and the punishment of Queen Draga, growing out of the recent sensational experiences of the Servian royal family, are declared to be without foundation. Professor Cantacuzene, of Bucharest, who was summoned with Dr. Wetheim of Vienna, announces that Queen Draga presents all the symptoms af false, or nervous, pregnancy and that the rapid development of the symptoms was brought about by the advice given her majesty by Dr. Caulet, who, in urging her majesty to lead a sedentary life, encouraged the queen in the opinion that she was enciente and produced an abnormal condition calculated to mis- lead both herself and her entourage. The two specialists declare that Queen Draga is suffering from netritis, but that her condition is not serious.

IN NEW ENGLAND.
Call for Strike VIII Not Find Hearty
 RcspOnse.

Boston, May 19.-The cali for ma- chinists strike will not find such a hearty response in New England to- some weeks, chiefly because the unions in the smaller manufacturing centers are not well organized or have not the financial resources to back them up The movement will be seen in it's full strength in Boston, where about 1900 machinists will strike in the morning. One hundred and fourteen firms will run on the nine-hour schedule, employ ing about 2,5OO machinists, and it is confidently expected that others will grant the new schedule before noon- time.
 To-day, while the union was enroll ing members until at had total of 1,- $50, twelve large concerns granted the mems demands. Tickets will be estab- lished over places struck tomorrow, and to that end tonight explicit in- structions were given to union men to avoid transgressions of the law.
 Arrangements were made for getting the reports from the various shops as early as possible and to have a repre- sentative of the strike committee on duty continually at headquarters.
 In Quincy the Tubular Rivet and Stud company, employing 1900 men, of whom 200 are machinists granted fifty-four-hour week beginning to-mor- row, while the Fore River Ship and Forge company is already giving ten hours pay for nine hours work.
 In Providence 800 machinists will go out from two shops, the Corliss Engine Works of the International Power com pany and the Providence Engineering company.
 The 500 strikers number about ore fifth of the machinists in the city, and the promoters of the strike feel that this will be sufficient number to inau- gurate the movement.

 Washington, May 19.-The strike or der issued by the executive board>of the International Order of Machinists goes into effect at o'clock tomorrow morn ing. President O'Connell said tonight that about 50,00O men will be affected. The order instructs the men to refuse to go to work in all shops where mo- tices granting the nine-hour work day have not been posted at ' o'clock to- morrow morning.
 The officers of the association expect that In many cases settlement will be reached during tomorrow and that the men will return to work during the day or Tuesday morning. Word came to- day that all the firms in St. Louis and also all those in New Orleans had ac- ceded to the demands of the men. Scat tered reports from other cities favora- ble to the men also were received.

 In a number of cities there are ques- tions pending between the employers and men which may operate to prevent decisive action tomorrow, but which may be settled for or against strike in a day or two These include cities where counter-proposition have bean made by the manufacturers and where conference with headquarters at Wash- ington may be necessary before action is taken. In these instances compro- mises may be reached
