 Tn Dennis Bennett, "A years old. a retired stage driver, it seemed likely another juror had been obtained. The defense accepted Bennett after lie said: "I'd apply the golden rule to this case" but he tripped up on his beliefs regarding conviction on circumstantial evidence in cases involving the death penalty, and was excused.
 T. H. Green was excused because he has rheumatism.
 M. R. Corcoran was excused because of age.
 Corcoran's dismissal brought protests from the defense. Attorney Darrow pointed out that T. H. Elliott accept ed yesterday, is "A years old, but Judge Bordwell held that physical con dition rather than age was to be con- sidered. st

Government to Send Troops

Washington, November 15.-The state department has practically decided 10 send regiment of troops from Manila to Chinwingko, seaport in China about e50 miles from Peking on the gult or Pechhi Li. The purpose is to perform br international duty under the boxer treaty in keeping open the line of com munciation between Picking and the sea. It was said at the state department that request for the troops had not yet been made on the war department but It was momentarily expected. The off rials were careful to make it appear that the dispatch of these troops to China would be absolutely without any politi- cal meaning and the movement was not to be construed as intervention
 Under the treaty which terminated the boxer troubles the United States with other powers was given the privilege of maintaining a military force along the railway between Picking dnd the sea to guard against such an event as the siege rf. the legations during the boxer upris- Ing.
 Beyond the maintenance of marine guard of 100 men recently and tempor- hrily increased to 200 the United States hGs never availed itself of this permis- sion and it has fallen to the lot of other nations principally Great Britain, France and Japan to maintain small garrisons along the line of the road from Tien rsin to Peking It is felt it is now in ruinbent upon the United States to per form its part of this duty and hence the decision to employ troops to supple nent the marine guard.
 Will Not Take Sides
 The fact that the force to be dispatched eill be liinitede to one regiment is de- slared in itself an indication that there Als no intention onAthe part of the Unit hd states government of indulging in kf.v large military demonstration ill China pr of taking sides in the present treat struggle for supremacy between

This article was ordered by a mag
azine especially interested in pure

of the magazine reported the cancella-

this advertising was by well-known, re-
