TROOPS AWAITING.
/CALL TO CHINA
American Forces in Philippines
Ready for UprisingYan-
kee Official Ousted.
San Francisco, Feb. 5.Army offi
cers, who arrived here on the transport
Logan yesterday, report that the, pros
pect of trouble, in China is the chief
topic of discussion in army circles in
Manila. The Thirteenth infantry and
two squadrons of the Eighth cavalry
have been ordered to prepare them
selves for field service. The destina
tion of these troops remains a headquar
ters secret, but the only explanation of
the order is that they are to be held in
readiness for a China expedition at the
first warning of an outbreak.
Those who came on the Logan asked
first for news from China, as they said
that most of the information on the
subject which was current in the Philip
pines came by the way of Washington.
The officers of the troops under field
orders have made preparations to leave
on twenty-four hours* notice, and their
expectation is that they will be sent to
Peking.
American Loses Place.
Peking, Feb. 5.Yuan Shi Kai, vice
roy of Chili province, has discharged
Professor C. D. Tenney, the foreign di
rector of education, who organized the
new school system in his province.
Strong opposition has arisen lately to
foreigners as school managers and par
ticularly to Dr. Tenney, because he is
an American. Yuan Shi Kai told Dr.
Tenney that numerous enemies of the
viceroy had forced the discharge.
Boycott Revived.
The boycott against American goods
Is being revived. When it began the
American minister and the American
consuls urged the Chinese to wait until
congress had time to act on their de
mands. The failure of congress to act
aroused resentment.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon the government to remove
.E. B. Drew, the commissioner of cus
toms at Canton, because he is an Amer
ican. is considered one of the
ablest men in the establishment of Sir
.Robert Hart, director general of mari
time customs.
Foreigners Alarmed.
Hongkong, Feb. 5.Foreigners at
Canton are in a state of great appre
hension owing to the insufficiency of
police protection. After the looting' Sat
urday of the residence of Rev. Dr. An
drew Beattie, an American Presby
terian missionary at Fati, by an armed
band of Chinese, the guardboat was
requested to send assistance, but the
commander replied that he was not em
powered to comply with the request.
HIS DEATH EASED
BY DOCTOR'S DRUG
Man Fatally Hurt Chloroformed
Under Train's Trucks to
Make Death Sure.
.LO
Journal Special Service.
New York, Feb. 5.Ambulance Sur
geon Barrett of the Presbyterian hospi
tal, declared last night that, "to make
sure he was dead," he administered
chloroform to a man who was run over
by an elevater train and was caught in
the rear trucks of the first car in such a
way that he could not be extricated.
Barrett crawled under the car, with
his case of instruments in hand, to give
medical aid to the man if he was still
alive. When he emerged fifteen min
utes later he said:
"I was not certain the man was
dead. The forward trucks of the car
had run over his body and if he was not
dead he was beyond all hope and it
would have been inhuman to have al
lowed him to suffer. I therefore ad
ministered some chloroform to make
Biire that he was dead."
There was nothing on the body by
which the suicide could be identified.
When the train pulled into the sta
tion and was about half wav down the
platform the man who looked like a la
borer, sprang to the track and lav
across one of the rails. The motormah
ol the train applied the emergencv
brakes but not in time to avert running
over the prostrate form.

JONES, OF PATRICK
CASEJHSAPPEARS
Journal Special Service.
Houston, Tex Feb. 5.Charles Jones,
who was valet for William M. Rice, the
lexas-New York millionaire, previous
to the latter's murder, for which Albert
1. Patrick was sentenced to death, has
disappeared. I is said Jones was well
supplied with money from some source
During the years that Patrick has
been fighting for life in prison, Jones
has led a free and easv existence. He
went on frequent boating trips on the
bay with oyster and fishermen, and to
some of them he is said to have told a
widely different story regarding the
Rice murder than given in his testi
mony. The result of his talk is re
flected in certain affidavits filed in New
York, and upon which a reopening of
the Patrick case was secured.
JAPAN TO ENLARGE NAVY.
Tokio. Feb. 5.At a meeting of the sectional
budget committee yesterday a delegate represent
ing the government said that Japan expected to
Increase the tonnage of her navy to 400,000 tons
by the end of the fiscal year of 1907-OS.
BARGAINS I N MEDICINE.
A woman once wrote us
that she was not going to
buy Scott's Emulsion any
more becaase it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. Scott's Emul
sion costs more because it is
wprth morecosts more to
make. W could make
Scott's Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it,-too.
If we did, however, Scott's
Emulsion wouldn't be the
standard preparation of cod
liver oil as it is to-day.
SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street. New York.
GETS $8,000,000,
BUT FEELS POOR
Daughter of Marshall Field, Wife
of a Brave British Ofv
fleer, Arrives.
Journal Special Service.
New York, Feb. 5.Captain David
Beatty, of the British army, and Mrs.
Beatty who was the daughter of the
late Marshall Field, were passengers oh
the steamship Campania, which arrived
yesterday. Captain and Mrs. Beatty
were met by Marshall Field III, "the
$80,000,000 grandchild" of the dry
goods merchant, and the lad's mother,
who is the widow of Marshall Field II.
The daughter of Marshall Field, who
is now Mrs. Beatty was Miss Ethel
Field. She was married on New
Year's day, 3891, when she was 21, to
Arthur Tree, son of Judge Lambert
Tree, once ambassador to Bussia. Mr.
and Mrs. Tree did not live happily to
gether and Mr. Tree obtained a divorce
on the ground of desertion in 1901.
Mrs. Tree married, a few days after
the divorce, Captain Beatty, a poor
man, but a distinguished service order
hero of the Soudan and of China. This
second marriage of the Chicago million
aire's daughter has been a very happy
Their fellow passengers on the Cam-
SIrs.
ama said, that Captain Beatty and
Beatty felt "poor" as the will of
Marshall Field leaves the captain's
wife with only $8,000,000. The Beat
tys are on their way to Chicago.
CHAMBERLAINIAY
HAVE NEW PARTY
Split in Unionist Party in England
Points to Formation of
Tariff Party.
London, Feb. 5.That there is a split
the unionist party is recognized as
an existing fact by the unionist news
papers this morning. They say it is
definitely known that Mr. Balfour and
Mr. Chamberlain have agreed to dis
agree and that it is believed Mr. Cham
berlain will withdraw from his adhes
ion to Mr. Balfour and organize a sep
arate party on tariff reform.
Thus, it is admitted bv the Standard,
the Morning Post and other unionist
papers, will be the only course open to
Mr. Chamberlain, unless indeed Mr.
Balfour decided to call a meeting of the
party and allow its members to decide
the question of leadership. Even then,
the papers say, it is not believed that
either Mr. Balfour or Mr. Chamber
lain will recede, the former premier
having told Mr. Chamberlain that he
would not accept his tariff reform pol
icy.
The whole situation forms the politi
cal sensation of the hour, and noth
ing^ else is discussed in the political
clubs. I twas stated very emphatically
yesterday that if Mr. Balfour would
not agree to call the meeting of the
party, Akers-Douglass, former secretary
of state for home affairs, would be ap
pointed leader ad interim until Mr. Bal
four is returned to parliament by the
citv of London.
There is still a remote chance that
Walter Hume Long, former president
of the local government board, will be
asked to accept the leadership, under
a compromise. But well-informed per
sons say positively that Mr. Balfour
will refuse anything like a compromise
while Mr. Chamberlain insists on stand
ing for protection.
It is even intimated that the invita
tion to Mr. Balfour to stand for the
seat for the city of London, resigned in
his favor by Alben G. H. Gibbs, may
be withdrawn unless he goes over to
Mr. Chamberlain but this is believed
to be hardly likely.
"Superiority is quickly recognized."

and goodness of Pickwick Rye "the

"JIM" FISK'S WIDOW
HYING IN POVERTY
Journal Special Service.
New York, Feb. 5.Bereft of for
tune and the friends who courted her
society in the days when her husband
was one of the chief figures of the
financial world of New York, the widow
of the former king of the Erie railroad,
business associate of Jay Gould and
boon companion in New York's fastest
set, Mrs. Lucy D. Fisk, widow of "Col
onel" James Fisk, is now passing the
last years of her life in comparative
privation in a room ih a two-and-a-half
story frame dwelling in South Boston.
Her income is estimated to be $6 a
week.
Those who are her confidants say
that she has neither envy nor blame
for those who have benefited by the
misfortune that has made her poor,
and who, after the death of James Fisk,
fought to drag from the grasp of the
widow the fortune he left.
Misfortune has not brought a bitter
thought against anyone to the mind of
the widow of Janies Fisk. Even the
slayer of her husband was forgiven.
I do not want to think of the
tragedy or of Stokes," she says. I
never do if I can possibly avoid it.
Stokes killed by husband, did me the
greatest wrong possible, caused me
trouble, want and heart burnings, but
I forgave him lo'ng ago."
BRITONS FLY HIGH
OYER BRITISH GHANNEL
London, Feb. 5.The balloon of the
Aero club, which left London Saturday
