Pekin, China.-The excitement here
is growing intense. The residents Of
the forbidden city are taking in great
quantities of rice and other stores.
Fifteen hundred infantry and cavalry
of the Manch first division, who fled
from Shi Kai Chuang after the assas-

rivered here and have entered the
city. The legations consider that Pc.
kin is doomed and all hope for the
Manchu dynasty has vanished.
Consular reports received at the i'm.
perial capital agree that the revolu.
tionary spirit has got beyond control
throughout the empire with the ex.
ception of Manchuria. The fall of
Canton put all southern China in the
rebels hands. The foreign legations
have arranged ample protection for
foreigners. The officials of the Brit
ish legation are preparing to exercise
their right of guarding the railroad
from Pekin to Tien Tsin.
The temper of the Manchu troops

there are 22,5O0 Manchu troops within

The more carefully she thought over
the story OF that murder at the Chm

how he had discovered and buried the
mutilated bodies, the more assured
she became that that was where this
locket came from, and that the slain
