PEKIN, April 16--Intervention by
foreign powers similar to that at the
time of the Boxer uprising in 1900 is
believed to be imminent by the gov

Advices from there tonight of the

news that three British warships, an
American cruiser. the Cleveland, and
one French gunboat, are on their way

temporarily quieting effect on the
natives. The uprising is SO wide
spread, however, that the government
fears other outrages will be commit
ted that will lead to foreign occupat-
ton of the city.
Four foreign missions have been
destroyed which had property valued
at considerably more than 100000.
They We're maintained by England
and America. These nations will de-
mand full indemnity
The gunboats and the cruiser Cleye-

nets spread, fearing mines in the

throughout the country, widespread
opposition to his central bank plan
prospects of bitter fight in Rhode

fact that he is nearing seventy years

ably contributing to his reported de-

Those who have observed Aldrich

not say so for publication, it is gen
orally considered, even by the regu-
lars that the republicans would have
better chance in the next national
elections with A1drich out OF the ac-
tive affairs of the party.
1t is known that Aldrich, adnitted-
ly one of the keenest observers Of
political affairs, does not underesti
mate the public sentiment that has
been expressed against him and his
methods. Aldrich's friends declare
this sentiment has been manufactured
