PEKING, Feb. 25.-The guards around
the Forbidden City have been doubled
since yesterday afternoon and all the

have hitherto carried batons are now

The Chief of Police and other officials
were telephoned yesterday to report TO
the palace, and the display of force i'm

Two packages OF dynamite have been
found In the street outside of the gate

Quarrel in Palace.
One report finding credence Is that there
Is quarrel afoot within the palace be
tween the partlsans OF the Empress Dow
agcr and the Emperor over the selection
OF an heir to the throne, but 1t Is not con-
nrmed
All the information obtainable Indicates
that the military measures at the palace
were only precautionary and were taken
because OF the widely circulated rumorS
that there would be trouble here Satur-
day.
The finding of the packages OF dynamite
outside the palace gate. which Is some
what mysterious probably caused un-
casiness. tho court had been nervous
since the outrage in the Peking railway

a missile was exploded inside a private

methods and killing -four persons and

Peking Is Still Tranquil.
The reports of trouble within the palace
cannot be corroborated. but they probably
are founded on gossip, for which Peking

strengthening OF the palace guards.
The police tonight appeared without
their rifles The city was never quleter-
There has not been the slightest sign OF
