NEED OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS. Admiral Seymour'* Advance Making Slow Progre**. Washington, June 14.-A dispatch has beun received at the British embassy here from Admrai Seymour, in command of the international t:o ps now for Ing their way from Tim Tsln to Pekin. The dis patch disclosed the extreme difficulties encountered, mainly in the form of tracks destroyed and stat'd that the progress was only three mil's for the preceding twenty-feur hours. The commending Admiral felt that it would be desirable to have additional forces in ord r to meet contingency, although the general feeling was express ed that the trouble wou and be less difficult to deal with than has been expected. It is calculated that with the three miles covered in the twen y-four hours preced ing the Admiral’s dispatch which Is dat ed yesterday, the international fore-* was now twenty-rive miles from Pekin.

CONGER WAS NOT HEARD FROM. Talk of Requesting Ru**in anil •?a|inn to Restore Peace. Washington. June 14.—1 t was said at the State Department to-day that no request for 2,000 or. in fact, for any number of troops has been received from Minister Conger, as reported from ’Shanghai. As a matter of fact, the State Department has not heard from Minister Conger for thirty-six hours past. As it is gathered that the European foreign offices are in precisely the same position respecting their diplomatic repre sentatives at Pekin, it is assumed at the State Department that telegraphic commu nication between Pekin and the outside world, which for the last three days has consisted of a single line running north into Russian Manchuria, has at last been totally interrupted. The Japanese authorities here say the Y’okcfhama Dress dispatch stating that Japan b about to send a mixed regiment to China is undoubtedly correct, as it tal lies with what has been expected in dip lomatic quarters. In some diplomatic quar ters there is talk of a joint request of all the parties, interested, on either Japan or Russia, or both them to land a strong force of soldiers instead of the limited number of marines now available. Thi*, however, has not yet taken official form. Mr. Nabeshima says Japan would not act l:ug such lines, unless all the Powers united in a request of that character. JAPAN TO SEND A REGIMENT.

After hearing the testimony of about thirty-five witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of homicide. Several of 4he deputies testified that Police Lieu tenant Stark ordered the deputy sherlfts to fire on the crowd, while Stack declared he did all In his power to prevent the deputies from firing. The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff Marsh was .1 startling development at the Inquest. It Is believed that Marsh has left the city.
