New York, Feb. 2S.--Assistant Dis

Claiche a step nearer the death cha r
today in her trial for the murder of
Emil Gefdron He established out of
the mouths of several more Witnesses
the close intimacy that existed be-
tween Policeman Harry Morton and
the French girl for several years pro
ceeding the murder, and on the ether
hand he brought out several strong
points tending to show that Berthe
Claiche, instead of being the victim
from the gall ng slavery at the hands
of Gerdron, was the subject of the lat

Significant Movements.
It Is also significant that the British
government, certainly, (and perhaps
the German and French governments)
has given orders to its light-draught
gunboats to do similar duty on the
coast of China and the big rivers.
All of the movements are directly
attributable to the reports, confidential
aud otherwise, which have reached

be expected.

The Navy Department does not yet
admit the statement that Admiral Sigs

WASHINGTON AIR PULSING WITH
FEARS OF OUTBREAK
CALLING FOR TROOPS IN CHINA
Large Number Of Incidents Show Acute Hostility
Of Chinese Toward Everything American
BIG UPRISING MAY BE EXPECTED

lnavy buildings pulses with fear OF an
outbreak which will call for this inn
mediate dispatch of troops from Man
lila to China. The causes for this
feeling are general, but they are pre-
llcated on large number of incidents
which show the acute hostility of the
Chinese toward Americans and Amer
lean interests
Boycott Cause of Trouble.
The expression of the greatest cause
is found in what is known as the boy
colt. That simply means that the Chi
nese merchants at Shanghai, Hong
Kong, Chefoo, Canton, Hankow and
in general along the coast have deter
mined to fight American commerce un-
til congress shall see fiji to radically
change the existing Chinese exclusion
laws.
RevoIutionists Are Active.
The second cause of the unrest Is
the Chinese revolutionary party, which
seeks to overthrow the present govern
ment, which has guaranteed the safe
ty of the foreign nations, at least at
Pekin following the seige of Pekin,
and the threat, at that time, of the an
Inhalation of all foreigners in China.
So far the revolutionists and the boy
cotters have seen that the efforts OF
the imperial Chinese embassy here has
not been able TO secure any change in
legislation, and that On the contrary
the sentiment is against the change
1t least in the House. The boycotters
are evidently not satisfied with the1

retary Metcalf under advice of an Eek
