LEGATION SAFE
ON JULY THIRD
A Ray of Hope Is Kindled By
Later News ftfom China.
JAPAN IS AUTHORIZED TO ACT
Powers Agree to Give Her a Free
Hand, Full Co-Operation and
Pay to Whip the Chinese.
The London foreign office has issued
the text oi a telegram from Acting
Consul General Warren, at Shanghai,
confirming from thoroughly trust
WOrthjSO “ rC ” S ““ " 0 "' 8 ' r0ni Peti “
by eourier July 3d, by way of Shang
hai, to the London office of the in
spectorate of Chinese maritime cus
toms, saying two legations were, the
day the courier left, holding out
against the Chinese aud boxers and
that the troops had lost 2,000 men
and the boxers many leaders.
CONSUL GOODNOW COFIUMS HEPORT8.
A cablegram was received at tho
-state department at Washington Sat
urday morning from Consul General
Goodnow at Shanghai dated July 7th,
saying that the legations were stand
ing on the 3d instant aud that the re
cent attack of tho boxers bad been
comparatively slight. They seemed
disposed to adopt starvation methods.
One certain effect of Consul General
Goodnow’a dispatch will be to cause
the officials here, aud without doubt,
the European governments,torebouble
their exertions to push forward a force
to Pekin. The maiu hope for speedy
action is still in Japan.
According to the Japanese legation
in Washington, which has late advices
from Tokio, 22,000 soldiers are now
on Chinese soil. If this report is true,
then the Japanese government has ac
eomplished much more than was ex
pected and the officials here see no
reason why the advance on Pekin
soould not begin immediately. It is
said that Japan is not expected to
make this campaign single-handed,
The international forces at Taku and
Tien Tsin will co-operate to the ut
most with the Japanese army corps in
the movement on Pekin. What form
that , co-operation . shall ...... take not
is
known yet; such details are left to the
Gommauders in the field. It is said
Japan is to be compensated for the
work she is about to undertake in the
common cause. Her military prepara
tious are very extensive aud the cam
paign is certain to involve heavy cost,
It would be unjust to expect Japan to
meet this herself. She has no mis
eionaries in China, and consequently
is perhaps less interested selfishly
than aDy of the powers in the terrible
happenings in Shan Tung aud Pekin.
COBBIN BEADT TO SEND TBOOFS.
As a result of the thorough consid
eration of the subject by the secretary
of war, Lieutenant General Miles and
adjutant General Corbin, orders were
issued by the war department Satur
day afternoon for the dispatch of 6,254
regular troops to the Philippines with
a view to their utilization in China,
The force is made up of two battalions
each of the Fifteenth, Second, Fifth
aud Eighth infantry, two squadrons
each of First and Ninth cavalry, one
squadron of the Third calvary and a
eompany of engineers. These troops
will be forwarded as rapidly as possi
ble and as soon as transportation ar
raugements can be perfected.
The issue of the formal orders for
the dispatch to the east of more than
■6,000 troops from tho army posts in
the United States is a manifestation of
the energy with which the government
is uow about to act iu the Chinese
matter. True, these troops are nom
inally destined for the Philippines to
replace the volunteers now out there,
but it is admitted that they are being
■sent out by a route that will easily ad
mit of deflection to Taku or some
•other convenient Chinese port. When
these troops are lauded in China, to
gether with the Niutli infantry sup
posed to be now at Taku, and tlie ma
rine aud naval contingent the United
States will have a force in action com
mensurate with our interests and in
proportion to the European forces.

Rich folks don’t usually want to pay more for Fur
niture than they have to. The poor people can’t '
afford to. Both desire furniture that shows art and
style, that has good, honest merit, that is just as
strong and durable as it is beautiful. That is why
you see all classes of people in our store. The first
reason that brings them is the distinguished charac
ter of our furniture, and the second reason is the
moderate prices. We sell Fnrnitnre at just as low
prices as anybody on earth can afford for reliable
goods. Whenever you see prices lower thau ours, it
would be wise to look three or four times at the
quality. Remember we always take pleasure in
showing our goods.
