patch 10000 regulars to China.
To prevent such an occurrence the
imperial troops and the rebels have
been most scrupulous in regarding the
rights, lives and property of for
eigners. Both sides realize that every
time foreign troops land in China. o
slice of Chinese land is carved off for
the power that sends soldiers.
It is known i'm official circles. how
ever that the military preparations
in the Philippines are going forward
with great vim. II is understood here
that America will act for all the
powers in case OF intervention and
that there will not be an allied force
such as Admiral Seymour took into
Pekin during the Boxer uprising but
merely an American armed force. in
the event it is decided by the powers
to intervene.
Foreign residents say If there - a
landing it will be roolhardy to send
such a small expedition as 10000
men. They point that the landing of
foreign troops will prec'pitate an
anti-foreign outbreak which len
thousand men cannot hope to quell

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 15.-- Henry
Clay Beattie. Jr., will die in the cleo
trio chair on November "a for the
murder of his young wife, Louise

case.

trial and as it's horrible facts were de-

and impartial judge who presided at

the prisoner; his instructions we're as

oner could have expected; that he did

a new Democratic asplrant for

Is seeking a Democratic nomination
for the office of justice of the peace.
Mr. Hoberman has never held any

heavy vote among the shop men Of
the city and believes that he has an
excellent opportunity to win.
