ORDERS TO LEAVE CHINA
TyODUs OF AMERICAN TROOPS TO
 BEGIN AT ONCE.
A Legation Guard of 1oo Men to De Aeit The step a Proof of Good F"isA on Tho P,rt of the United States.

Washington. March 14.-The exodus of the American troops from China IS to bepin at once. This is the conclusion cached at A recent consultation in which the secretary of state and the secretary of war declared thems elves of one mind. Adjutant General Corbin has therefore notified General Chaffee bv cable to prepare to move back to Manila without delay. He is to take with hin, his staff and all his soldiers, excent 15o men. who will remain as a legation guard, probably under com mand of Major Robertson of the Ninth infantry. The officers and men are to be selected with special care on account of the character of their duties and the general dignity of the detail.
 This, it is believed, will not only take the United States out of the atmosphere of diplomatic intrigue which has set tied around Pekin, but will furnish to China and the world the best possible assurance of the good faith of our gov ernment in dealing with the new Chi nese problem. There seems to have sprung up abroad a suspicion that, be- cause Russia has so promptly seconded the efforts of the United States to pre- vent further bloodshed as prelini- nary to the settlement of terms of peace the United States must have entered to some extent into Russia's supposed schemes for the acquisition of territory, or at least coneented to countenance them. This latest move, it is hoped at the department of state will set at rest any false assumptions of this sort.

MANcHuR1A SITUATION ACUTE.
Objection of the United States to the
 Russian Policy.

Objection of the United States to the
 Russian Policy.
 Washington. March 4.-Our govern ment has not yet be able to obtain any thing like an official statement of the contents of the alleged agreement be- tween Russia and China respecting the protectorate over Manchusia. If 1t were not now for the information which comes to it unofficially, yet is known to be. reliable, the state department would not be able to affirm even the existence of the pact. So, in this state of official ignorance, it has not been possible to go very far in the direction of protesting against Russias course. The state de- partment has, from the beginning, sought to discourage any kind of sec ret arrangement touching China, to that the Russian agreement, regardless of it's details, would still be objection able from this point of view.
 There is grave danger that by an un- due insistance by the ministers at Pekin upon the collection of impossi- ble indemnities and the continuance of punative measures, the United States government will be obliged, in difference to public sentiment fete, to maintain an attitude of exact neutrality, and withhold any assistance that might otherwise be reasonably requested, in the greater purpose of checking the consummation of an agreement which is almost certain to result in the partition of China

CASTELLANE SHOWS FIGHT
BOXES THE EARS OF Il FRENCH
 EDITOR.
M, de Rodays Struck in His Own House Origin of the Trouble an Accusation Regarding Betrayal of Alleged Coup d,etat-A Duel Likely to Follow.

Paris, March 14.-Count Boni de Gas tellane thrashed M. Fernand de Ho- days, the editor of the Figaro, thls morning for saying that M de Castel- lane had betrayed the Deroulede pot on the occasion of the funeral or the late President Faure on February 2S' 1899.
 Count de Castellane interpreted par agraph in the Figaro as alludlng to him. He was accompanied to-day py his father, the Marquis de Castellane' and newspaper friend, MT. Morel They proceeded to the residence or M' de Rodays, Mo- 66 Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, situated in the center ot Paris The count asked to see M. de Rodays, and was ushered into the writers 5 study. M de Rodays later received the party in his dressing room. Count de Castellane said: You published in the Figaro this morning an abominable par agraph against me-"
 M. de Rodays replied that he did not understand what the count meant, to which the latter retorted hotly: "Wlll you retract or not?"
 To this M. de Rodays replied by ex- planning that the paragraph was cour- teously couched, and that no mentlon was made of the name of the Count de Castellane Then, without further ado' Count de Castellane boxed M. de Ro- days ears severely and repeatedly. M. de Rodays, who was seated, recoiled' and M. de Castellane followed him up and slapped his face again. The Mar quis de Castellane and M. Mopel then interposed and protected M. de Rodays from further violence and the Castel- lane party withdrew.
 Count Boni has written the following letter to the newspapers here:
 Reading the Figaro, I was filled with indignation at the perfidious insinua- tion, accusing me of treachery nm 1mediately begged my father and a friend, M. Morel, to accompany me tc the residence of M. de Rodays. The latter received us, and after a few brlel observations, to which he gave unsatis- factory responses, I inflicted on nm merited correction. I reserve similar one for any person permitting hlmsell the same accusations"
 M. de Rodays gave the following ac- count of the affair:
 q received this morning the card o1 the Marquis of Castellane whom l in structed to be shown in immediately. found myself in the presence of three persons-the marquis, the count and a third person. whose name l do nol know. The marquis said: You insulted my son. Count Bpni de Castellane then asked me for explanations regarding a paragraph in the Figaro. I replied that the paragraph was in no way offensive to him and that, on the contrary, it was worded in the most courteous terms anc that his name was not mentioned. The count then threw himself upon me ant punched me without even giving mt time to defend myself. I believe it wa: a pre-arranged attack.
 M. de Rodays later in the day said hf had decided to send seconds to Coun Boni de Castellane.

A SENSATIONAL TURN.
The Murder of Miss Henderson Given
Another ColorinG.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-A special
to the Star from Strasburg says:
Many of the original members of
the posse have given up in disgust and
have discarded their guns, saying they
regret that the search was ever be-
gun. There are dozens of men in
Johnson county who believe that
Francis was paid to murder Miss Hen
derson by white persons who wanted
to get her out of the way. So con-
WINGED are many members of the
posse that Francis has escaped, by
the aid of white persons, that they
refuse to take further part in the ef-
forts to catch the murderer. If he is
caught he will not be burned at once,
but will be tortured for the purpose
of making him tell what he knows
about reports that white persons de-
sired Miss Henderson to be gotten out
of the way"

borhood of Strasburg.

Kansas City,Mo.Aug 31.-The scene
in the hunt for "Bossie" Francis, the
murderer of Miss Mary Henderson, at

woods hear by. AS soon as the pur-
suers became convinced of this, the
posse that had been searching about
Holden started for Strasburg, taking
additional bloodhounds, and receiving
additions to the crowd at every mile.
The trial is believed the strongest one
obtained since the man hunt began
on Wednesday, and the people are in
fever of excitement over the appar-
ent nearness of the Negroes capture.
Francis objective point is believed
to be Kansas City, and all incoming
trains from the south are watched
closely, and as well men have been
sent out into the outskirts of Kansas
City, Kas., and will keep a close look
out
At noon it was believed that the
posse was close on the trail of Fran
els. When caught he will probably be
taken to Columbus, which is IS miles

"Ncver be misled into feeling that
the men who have built up the wealth

do intellectually more good by using
their talents in building up great
business enterprises which benefit
them, but which benefit us also, than
they could do with their talent in
any other way. But we must remem-
Der that the greatest debt we can
owe is owed to those who do you not
