LONDON, Aug. 6.-4 a. m. Tho Ameri
ca!! and llrltlsh forces began tho advance
on I'ckln Inst Thursday, according to a
dispatch dated August 2 from Tleii Tsin
to tho Dally Express.
"The main body of tho allies," continues
tho correspondent, "marched on July 30,
General Chuffeu was delayed by difficulties
of disembarkation. General Dorw8.nl, the
Hrltlsh commander, had no such obstacles
nnd his delay Is Incxtillriihle.
"Thu other foreign troons sro now half
way to Lofu. Thu force Includes 20.000
Jnpnncso under General Yamnchuehl and
10,000 Husslans. Tho llrltlsh force totals
fi.000 and tho other foreign troops number
7,000. Wo are weak In artillery.
"On August 1 n strong force of Chinese
from the nntlvo city attacked Tien Tsin.
lly n scries of brilliant charges our troops
drove tho enemy from their positions. The
native city Is still delimit and tho allies
nro unwilling to march troops through Its
fstrcots, no this would mean on Immense
slaughter. When tho Chinese saw so large
n body of troops marching westward they
apparently believed they would havo an
easy victory over thoso who were left."

A mcssngo to tho same paper from a
correspondent In I'ckln dated Jully 22 says
"Tho women hnvo borno nit tho. horrora
With marvelous fortitude, and oven with
cheerfulness. Tho Chinese wanted pence
when tho nrscnnls at Tlon Tsin were cap
tu red nnd tho negotiations bado fair to be
successful. Unfortunately LI Ping Hong
nnd Kang Yu arrived hero at (Tie critical
mument and overthrew the peace party.
"Food has been short, but not terribly
so, though wo havo had to bo very euro
ful."
A Shanghai dispatch dntcd August 4 says:
"Tho first overt attack on foreigners oc
curred this morning. Three Chinese, sup
posed to be soldiers in disguise, fired at a
well known English resident while he wns
lying asleep on tho veranda of his house.
He had a narrow escape.
"From various sources comes tho state
ment that n largo body of Noxcrs, some es
tlmatlng them ut 3,000, Is gathering south
of Tlon Tsin nnd threatening comtnunTea-
tloiiB."

Tho Shanghai correspondent of tho Dally
Wall announces the receipt of nn Im
pcrlnl edict tinted August 2, ordering Gen
ernl Yung Lu to select high military and
civil dignitaries, together with a sufficient
number of picked troops, to escort thu for-
elgn ministers to Tien Tsin as soon ns they
decided to leavo Pekln.
Hy tho terms of tho edict General Yung
Lu will bo held personally responsible lor
their safety, and ho Is given full authority
to deal summarily with thoso opposing the
peaceful passage of tho escort.
"IJy such acts," concludes mo euici, -uo
we show our good Intentions to people from
nfnr and onen our bosoms to them.
Yokohnmn advices say that General
Ternuchl has reported to tho Japanese gov-
eminent that It Is not advisable to send
more troops to China, declaring that the
United Stntes forco Is now ample to rellovo
tho foreigners In Pekln.

"Tho ItusslaiiB at Tien Tsin reruso to ni-
low the Americans to put up telephone
wlreB on tho. railroad poles and they claim
tho railroad wires, which tho engineers nro
rrndv to work.
"Tho situation is critical. Tho river Is
full of railroad Blcepcrs. Hundreds of dead
bodies of Chinese, some derapltntod, are
llontlng tho stream."
Four more, missionaries, acordlng to
Shanghai advices tinted Saturday, havo been
murdered near Hankow.
Tho Tien Tsin correspondent ot tho Times,
wiring July 31, hays:
"Tho previous decision to movo tomorrow
has been reversed. It Is reported Hint the
American commander Is unwilling to ad
vance until ho Is reinforced. Tho Jupanesu
reconnaissance yesterday apparently In
clined them to favor wnltlng for further re
inforcements. Tho Husslans aud French

"General Oascleo has nn oxeuso to nib

Commenting upon this dispatch tho Times
says;
"It Is perhaps Inovltnblo. although un-
doubtedly disappointing, thnt tho advance
ehould bo delayed."
It will bo noticed that tho dtspntch to
tho Dally Express announcing that the
troops had started Is dated two days later
than tho dispatch to tho Times nnd two
dsvs Inter than any other dispatch pub
lished in London thlr morning. There Is no
way of verifying tho statements ot the

said Mr. French, "June 25, a few days after
Mr. Coad, Mr. Llpo and myself hnd lauded.
Ho was delayed by reason of the vessel on
which ho took passage being quarantined
at Egg Island, ISO miles out of Nome, for
ten days because ot n smallpox scare. After
arriving at Nome ho devoted himself to
looking over tho situation and making quest
for promising mining claims. On Friday,
July 13, the captain complained of n slight
Indlsi osltlon nnd thu next day was confined
to his bed In his tent. Sunday wo called
In a doctor, but the captain stoutly Insisted
that ho was only temporarily under the
weather nnd It wns much ngalnst his will
thnt ho was removed to a hospital. It
shortly doveloped that ho had pneumonia
nnd tho following Wcdncsdny he died."
Unprejudiced opinions formed by the re
turnod members of tho Omaha contingent
In Capo Nome Indicate thnt the newest
Alaskan gold fields should bo shunned by
the poor mnn nnd tho prospector without
amplo funds at his command. Messrs. Cond,
French, Llpo nnd Mayor D. C. Glffert of
Wost Point nrrlvcd Jn Nomo City nbout tho
mlddlo of Juno. They found a city thnt
had sprung up llko mushrooms In the night
with a Varying population of from 30.000 to
60,000 people. Tho majority ot this popu
lation had arrived during tho Bprlng and
discovered that all of the promising gola
land had boon gobbled up by the men who
had been on tho ground nt tho tlmo and Im
mediately subsequent to tho first discovery,

"Wo sailed from Seattle May 31," said
Mr. French, "and nfter being blocknded bv

$13,000. Tho Pioneer Mining company, of
which Llndorburg Is ono of tho principal
owners, has already niado two shipments

who wero either on tho ground at the tlmo

tho government rcservod from Individual

Henry M. Teller expressed tho belief that

"Tho president," Senator Teller added
"Is not Justified In going farther than to

"The war will censo In these Islnnds when

opened the door to put them off. The rob

his head nnd ordered lilm to lead tho way
through thu coaches. All thu passengers
were asleep nnd tho conductor was ordered
to wnko them ono nt a time. The frightened
passengers wero told to keep quiet or they
