American, Ilrltlsli, Japanese, German, Italian, Ruaslan and French troops to Iho nuiii b?r of 100 each have boon ordcrml tr. guard tlielr respective legations nt !( hln, but the viceroy here will not allow them to proceed lienco to I'ckln on the railway without authority of the Tsung-ll-Yamen. One hundred and eight Americana with a machine gun and a field gun landed here last night .amidst the greatest cnthualasm on tho part of tho residents. Five Rtyjslan and two British wnr ships have ar rived i Taku and the Drltlah aro now landing. Other wnr ships uic hourly expected. Tluce thousand Chinese troops from Lu Tal aro expected hero today cnrotit'i to Pang Tal. There la a disposition here to believe that tho "Uoxcrs" will dlsperso before tho foreign troops aro ready o act, Tien Tsln Is In no danger. Tho party of Frenchmen and Ger mans returned from Chang Hsln Tien this afternoon. This confirms tho re ports that tho nclglans arc now safe at Pckln. They found several thousand 'Boxers" about the ruins of Lit Kow Chlao and Chang Hsln Tien stations. Tho bridges hnvo been damaged and the rolling stock destroyed. At both places the damage done Is considerably greater than nt Fang Tal. The mem bers of the rescue party saw several bodies of Chinese tearing up tho sleep ers and In one caso a mandarin was looking on. They further report that tne missionaries and others escaped ftom Pao Ting In boats. The Imperial railway directory Is en deavoring to fasten the blame for the damage at Fang Tal on the foreign employes, principally the British, whom they say should not have left their posts. Tho foreigners, however, did not leavo until they iaw Lit Kow Chlao station, five miles away, in llames and an attack had actually been made on an engine from Fang Tal, which was running on the Lu Han line In an attempt to rescue the Belgians. Foreign men-of-war have arrived here today. Five Russian war ships and two Russian gun boats, one French war ship, two British war ships and one Italian war ship. They are all landing men. SHANGHAI.

I'lnil Long I.t l'lanet. DENVER, Colo., May 31. While Prof. H. A. Howo was waiting this morning nbout 2 o'clock in tho Chaim borlnln observatory for tho sun to rise nnd for the eclipse to begin, he made one of the most Important observa tions of tho year, the rediscovery of tho plnnet Eros. This tiny planet, which was discovered only two years ago at tho Berlin observatory, has l beon looked for since last September, K tho time when, according to calcula tions, it should oraergo from behind tho sun. Astronomers all over the world havo been scanning tli skle3 for It, but without suocefo Transport Sainted n It Knlers tho Unrhor. SAN FRANCISCO, Mjy 31. The transport Meado arrived from Manila tonight with Major General E. S. Otla aboard. As tho transport cntored tho harbor a salute of thlrtcun guns was fired anil a number of gaily decorated tugs nnd launches went out to meet It. The quarantine olllcers boarded tho Meade and It was hoadod toward tho quarantine station at Angel Is land. General Otis will not land to night. A number of ofiVers detailed by General Shaftor went out In a tug to greet General Otis and consult him about having a detachment of troop3 escort Iilm from the landing to his hotel. The Meade had three cases of small pox aboard. It was placed In Quaran tine, where It will romuln an Indntl nlto time. Genoral Otis stated to tho quarantine officials that he was In ex cellent health and wished to land to take a train for the oast as soon as possible. A quartermaster, a stowa way and a soldier are Infected with tho smallpox. The Meade has on board tho bodies of 112 soldlors who died In tho Phil ippines. Thero was one death on tho way over. The transport's passenger list numbers forty-nine cabin nnd 131 Eteerage. The presence of smnllpox on tho vessel makes tho time of General Otis' landing very tndellnlte. WHY THE, EDICT WAS ISSUED. IE en i) It of tho I'ronmiro (if Foreign Lega tion In 1'vktii, WASHINGTON, May 31. Tho sup position hero Is that the edict referred to was Issued as a result of the pres sure of the foreign legations In Pekln. Tho dispatches from Chlno heretofore hnvo stated that the authorities had decided to ask tho Chinese olllco to define explicitly the measures tho gov ernment Intended to take In dealing with the Boxers and yesterday's edict prohibiting the organization, under the penalty of death, Is In all proba bility the response to the representa tions made. That tho document Is couched In equivocal terms Is not sur prising to officials here who aro ac quainted with conditions In China. The empress belongs to whnt Is known as the reactionary party in Chinese politics and the emperor being under her Influence It Is not surprising that the edict Is, as stated, more of an ex cuse of the movement than a condem--nation of it.

That Are Today Unknown lied Man A 6ert That fully Guarded hj tit l'lnia A Mlua l'abuloudy Itleh. to Clll tt Tore Intltani Mexico has many lost mines nnd many have been the fruitless attempts to rediscover tho ore beds that wero worked during tho period at the Span ish occupation. Among them Is tho Tnrasca, In Sonora. This mlno was worked long before the Spaniards nr rlved in Mexico nnd tho gold and silver fashioned Into ornaments by the abo rigines. A family of Gttayma3 had a nccklaco of flying fish purchased from a Pima Indian chief, who stated that tho metal was dug from Tnrasca. Tho mlno was worked by various Spaniards and Inter acquired by tho crown of Spain. It was extensively worked, barring ccrtnln periods during Apacho wars, until the epoch of the French Intervention, when the sliafjs and tttn tp.3 aro said to havo been concealed by tho "administrator," Don Juan Mo reno, an Imperialist, wna 7hj forced to seek safety la flight. Tho location of tho mlno Is today uncertain, though some believe that the mine toiOTun a Ubarabo Is Identical with It. Hut the lost mine nbout which tradition gath ers thickest Is Tnlopa, tho knowledge of which Is possessed only by tho Pima Indians. Quantities ot ore arc sold from tlmo to time by tho Indians, but all attempts to follow tho Indians to the spot where It was found or brlbo them to reveal It Iiiib failed. Wanting but little lu addition to the corn they grow they uro Imbued with a supersti tion that If they rcvcnl tho locality of the mlno, they will Instantly drop dead. To oca unacquainted with the Indian character this statement may seem in credible, but any prospector or miner n the Sierra Madre will affirm its truth, Large sums of money have been offerad tho Plains to tell where tho mlno Is. They scorn mouoy, and tho only open sesame Is mescal, by tho lib eral use ot which tho Indian may bo mndo to disclose runny things, but bo far Ho has held Inviolate his vow to reveal to no mortal man tho famous Tnlopa.

All her efforts to Induce' him. to lead her to the mlno wore ftitllo.. He said the Great Spirit would strike hint dead If he did.
