Pekin, Feb. 26.-The guards around
Ine forbidden city have been doubled
and all the palaces and residences OF
high officials are especially guarded.
The police. who have hitherto carried
Datons. are now armed with rifles. All
lne omcials that are accessible either
refuse any information or profess ig-
norance of the reasons for the precau-
tons that have been taken, and as a
result many rumors are af1oat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
Oh the dowager empress over the pre-
valence of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic a few
uays ago telegraphed the government
warning 1t against several revolution
airy students who were departing from
Japan for China. Two packages of
dynamite have been found in the
street, outside of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. report finding credence is
that quarrel is afoot within the pal
ace between the partizans of the en-
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne
but 1t is not confirmed.
Only precautionary"
All information obtainable indicates
mat the military measures at the pal-
ace were only precautionary, and were
taken because of the widely circulated |
rumors that there would be trouble |
mere Saturday. The finding of the |
packages of dynamite outside the nal |

missile was exploded inside a private

HELENA, Jan. AT 10 O'Clock this
morning, in Judge Henry G. Smiths
department OF the district court, was
called the case of the state against
Camille Remey, and the work Of Sc.
curing q jury was begun. Remey is
charged with the murder Of WATSON

eled westwardly to the Flathead reser

from there to Vancouver. where b
was arrested by the police upon ad
vices from Sheriff Peter Scharren
broich, of Lewis and Clark county

up about two weeks OF the court
time. There are IS or 40 witnesses OF

ing from Vancouver, and many iron
the northern part Of this county.
The body Of WATSON Oliver was ex
