The Standard Oil Cteamship Maverick,

from quarantine is the vesstl that was
sunk after the explosion of her cargo in
the vicinity of Halifax about year ago.
She went to the bottom and was not

been expended by her owners. She does
not now show any of the signs of the
disaster.
The annual statement prepared by Mr..
T. II. Townshend, the principal account

paying rates to the board, inWards or
outwards, as the case may be. To ar
rive al the total tonnage entered and sail

this return 1t Is shown that during the
year the sailing vessels paying dock ton
mage rates comprised 3S7 of 325, 43S tons
foreign. and 1,777 of 134,759 tons coastwise
"a decrease of 81 vessels and $3.50 tons
foreign, and 113 vessels and 6S55 tons

CHINA WANTS TROOPS REMOVED.
NEW YORK, Dec. si--A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
China is anxious that foreign occupa-
ton OF her territory cease as promptly
as possible. as It is causing disorder and
is an obstacle TO peaceful adjustment
OF affairs.
In view OF the prospect that each
nation viii hereafter maintain lega-
ton guard in Pekin, China is anxious
that il shall be reduced to as small a
number as the powers can be induced
to designate. China regards the
American force constituting the Ameri-
can legation guard as altogether too
large. It numbers 1900 men, but Chi
nese diplomats here point out that if
each nation maintains guard OF this
strength Pekln viii be under the con-
troll Of force of 1900 foreign troops.
There are now in China about 100000
allied troops.

claring that the interests Of the United
States could not be protected with a
smaller number. General Chaffee Is in

days ago sent out an expedition to a
point south Of the city. Adjutant-Gen-
eral Corbin denied today most emphati-
cally that this column was in any sense
punitive. There are to be no execu-
tions nor is there to be any interfer-
ence with Chinese officials; the duty Of
the column Is to rescue some mission
aries and return with them to Pekin.
1t is the belief of Chinese diplomats
in Washington that had Minister Con-
ger communicated to Prince Ching and
Iii Hung Chang the danger in which
the American missionaries We're sup
posed to be the Chinese authorities
would Immediately have taken meas

result of the American expedition. the

with those of other powers which have
been guilty Of atrocities and the hatred
felt for the Germans. British and others
will extend to the Americans.
China feels able at this juncture. it
is said, to protect all foreigners and it
