From Minister at Peking.
DELAY IN SENDING TROOPS
Believed He Is Consulting With
Other Foreign Representatives.
ARMY STANDS READY TO ACT
Little Doubt That American Soldiers
Will Be Dispatched From
Manila to China.

| Although it was expected yesterday that

\ troops were required in China, and in

come from the minister. 1t is assumed
i that he is consulting freely with the other
diplomatic representatives in Peking. and
| 1t may be that. these in turn feel called
/ upon to await advices from their home

The army stands ready to meet any

word does not come from Peking. know

patching troops into the interior Of China
along the line of the railroad from Pc
king to the sea.
Moving With Caution.
There seems little doubt that the ulti-

| from Manila.
But as the matter of prime considera-

and satisfactory entente which has gov
erned the six powers in the execution OF
| their Chinese policies, Tile State Depart
ment is disposed to observe with the
most scrupulous regard the undertaking
| that no one power shall advance troops
| without consulting the otbers. Hence it
awaits the word from Minister Calhoun,
which Is expected very soon.

IN SENATE
over TRANSFER BILL
Two Propositions Likely to
Provoke Lively Debate.
Expression of Views.

Senator Works, member of the Sem
ate District committee and champion
of the citizens conference universal
transfer bill, as against the Gallinger
bill, which Is approved by the Com
missioners. may carry the fight for the
conference bill to the floor of the
Senate.
He announced this morning that he
would first urge the Senate District
committee to adopt the conference bill
in preference to the Gallinger bill in
reporting a universal transfer measure
to the Senate for it's passage. II the
majority Of the committee favor the
Gallinger bill, however. Senator Works
will probably offer the conference bill
on the floor of the Senate as a sub
stitute. A lively fight over the bill,
therefore, seems probable.
Objections to Gallinger Bill.
The California senator does not
think the Gallinger bill meets the sit
uation. He is not in accord with all
the provisions of the conference bill.
but thinks it much preferable of the
two.
Senator Works regards as unneces
sary the provision of the citizens con-
ference bill specifying that each rail-
way company in the District OF Colum-
bia shall redeem at the rate of 1-12
cents each. all transfers issued by 1t
and received by any other railway
company"
In his own bill, Mr.. Works simply
specified that free universal transfers
must be issued and 1t was left to the
railroad companies themselves to adjust
the division Of the original fare. He
does not think 1t necessary to tx the d.
vision in the law.

Criticised by Senator Oliver.

This provision of the conference bill
was the object OF criticism by Senator
Oliver at the meeting Of the Senate Dis
trict committee at which it was present
ed. Senator Oliver pointed out that the
bill would provide for the issuance Of a
transfer on a transfer and therefore an
intervening line between that getting the
whole fare and that last used by a pas
senger would get nothing for carrying
the passenger. The intervening line must
redeem its transfer at 1-12 cents and
would get only the 21-12 cents for the
transfer it received from the original
line

until some hours later, after he

effected through a window. the
scree covering being torn from
its place. The work was done as
quietly as it was ei e~ctively and no
clue has yet been had as to who
we're the guilty party or parties.
That it was either one well acquain-

or an expert who can do such
things in the twinkling Of an eye

ton is apparent when it is known
that the safe is a high priced one,
