ALLIED FORCES 70 MARCH
ARE HEADED FOR SIAN=FO
All Generals Notified by Waldersee-
Resume Military Operations on Large
Scale Slowness of Peace Negotiations
Causes Alarm Expected Effect.

Pekin, Feb. IA few days ago
Count Won Waldersee wrote to the gen.
erals under his supervision notifying
them to have all their available troops
ready In two weeks for an expedition
lasting so days. Today General Chat
fee and General Veyron, the French
commander, received letters asking for
their cooperation and expressing de-
sire to know what forces they can
spare. In commencing his letter to
General Chaffee, Count Won Waldersee
says:
Owing to the unsatisfactory nature
OF the negotiations for peace and also
to circumstances rendering such a
course desirable. it will probably be
necessary to resume military opera
tions on large scale, especially toward
the west
1t is not thought likely that General
Chaffee will agree to such a plan with
out instructions from Washington. The
French commander, however, is expect
ed to do so.
Count Won Waldersee's plans contem-
plate offering the command of the ex-
petition in the first instance to Sir
Alfred Gaselee, the British commander,
but 1t is believed that on account of
his recent illness General Gaselee will
inform Count Won Waldersee that he
is unable to accept the command. In
that event it will be offered to General
Veyron. provided the French fall in
with the arrangement, which Count
Won Waldersee believes will be the case.
Such an offer to General Veyron would
have the effect, it is thought, Of over
coming the differences which have ex-
listed between the French and Germans.
because it would be demonstration Of
Count Won Waldersee's confidence in
the military ability of the French con-
tingent.
Ere long an announcement is expect
ed that the destination of the proposed
invasion is Sian-fu. 1t is thought that
when it becomes known that the ex-
petition has started the imperial court
will hasten to comply Immediately with
all the demands Of the joint note. The
military are much elated at the pros
pect of active service. Many believe
the Chinese army will strive to the
utmost to protect the province of Shen-
81 against invasion.

TRADE REPORT.

New Observation-Disclosures report for
last week is as follows:
Trade advices were rather more
cheerful. This applies as much as to
current retail business, which has been
enlarged with wintry weather as it
does the opening spring trade, which
finds stimulation in the general conf
dence felt as to the general outlook for
the coming year. Prices show excep-
tional strength, all things considered,
the one weak spot being raw cotton
which shares the rather unusual tone
manifested by the cotton growers and
yarn markets. Foreign demand for
our breadstuffs has been rather better
Specially cheerful reports come from
the shoe and leather, the lumber and
the iron trades the strength of prices
of the latter having been increased by
the talk of pending consultations. al
though the volume of business is re-
stricted from the same cause.
Failures are smaller than of late and
current railroad earnings show large
gains over good returns of year ago.
Despite the check given to business
by the talk of consultations fair vol
ume of trade is doing at all leading
iron markets and the advances in these
columns last week are firmly held.
Bessemer pig is still selling at 1925
at valley furnaces. equivalent to $14 at
Pittsburg, and sales of 10000 tons are
reported. Immediate deliveries of steel
billets still cost SO cents to 81 more
than pool prices-$19.75. Chicago re.
ports manufacturers price lists with
drawn pending the consolidation, but
that billets are 81 ton higher on sales
of 10000 tons. Structural material Is
active and the largest consumption
since 1895 Is looked for.
Failures for the week In the United
States number 226, as against $50 last
week, 1S9 in this week a year ago and
100 In 1899. Canadian failures num-
bered 80, against 80 last week and IS
in this week last year.

The Academy of Music III uma N
Hearts"

At the Academy of Music last night a
large audience enjoyed the beauties Of
Hal Reds play OF the hills of Arkansas,
Human Hearts,. and applauded most
heartily the beautiful sentiment. the SEN
sational episodes. and the very delightful
humor of the piece. Human Hearts is
a play of the same type as Shore Acres, -
Way Down East" and other productions
of similar character, and while it has
been seen in Western cities for some sea-
sons it is a comparative stranger to the
theatre patrons of the Capital. The pre-
sentation last night was in every respect
admirable. The scenery was appropriate.
while the company was adequate TO the
demands Of the piece While the cast
does not contain the names OF any prOmi-
nent players it is an evenly balanced or
gauization and few of the members are
better than the average seen in this class
of plays.
Tom Logan, the young blacksmith who
marries reformed woman, only to find
old life, is eXCellenty interpreted by
James Gordon. The villain Of the play,
Frederick Armsdale, is played by Herbert
Belts with a good deal of success II the
Kisses Of the upper portions of the house
may be taken as criterion. Moses Jones,
the colored man whose faithfulness to
Logan is a splendid tribute to his race, IS
inteiIigently portrayed by Milo Kirkpat-
rick, who brings not a little comedy to
the role Mary Downes has the part Of
sufficiently heartless and selfish to win
the intense dislike of her audience, a
most worthy commendatiOn. The rest OF
the company is good.
There will be matinee performances OF
Human Hearts" today, Thursday, and
Saturday
