PREDICT BIG CHINESE MASSACRE i State Department Urging Military Prepnrations For Kxpectcd Suppression of Anti-Forcicn Rislntr?Americans Advised by Cable to Return Home at Once. Pekin, China.?The Imperial Government has ordered the Viceroy of Foofliow immediately to execute the leader of the Changpu mob and to punish severely th.? others concerned in that affair. * The Viceroy reports that the trouble . at Cliaugpu arose over the detention of a Chinaman by-the Catholic mission The populace destroyed the mission and then the anti-foreign element arose and wrecked the English mission Troops were sent as soon as possible and tired on the mob. killing twelve rioters. London. England.?Great Britain demanded that China compensate the missionaries for the destruction of their property at Changpu. near Arnoy. and also asked for the punishment of those responsible for the disorders. The Government knows nothing of the reported general unrest in China beyond the reports of Consuls, which are conflicting, some considering the disorders local, while others believe they foreshadow a general anti-foreign uprising. While Great Britain, with the other Powers, agreed at Emperor .WMlljam's suggestion to withdraw ( troops from Chili Province, it has now been decided to leave the question with the Ministers at Pekin. They nrobably will decide to maintain the J ; troops stationed at Tientsin and withdraw those occupying outlyiug station!?. Cincinnati. Ohio.?Wong Fong, former Secretary of the Six Companies, in San Francisco, who is visiting here, says the Boxer trouble in China will culminate in the greatest massacre of modern times.

C.?While not re- j 1 warding an anti-foreign uprising in I China as imminent, Secretary Root j is convinced it is his duty to pursue [ the course he has already outlined for 1 the protection of American life and : property. The Chinese Government. ' while not actually aiding the develop- i ment of this anti-foreign sentiment, ! has not exerted itself to prevent the 1 spread of the anti-American boycott, notwithstanding the publication of numerous proclamations by the Viceroys. So Mr. Root will continue to j urge uppn Secretary Taft the adoption of military precautions. Officers returning from the East say that the Japanese do not appear to be ; involved in this wave of anti-foreign sentiment in China. There is no evi- , dence that they have in any way encouraged the boycott movement, but it I is said they are likeiy to derive substantial advantage from its spread because the Chinese must buy somewhere and the Japanese are iilcely to reap the benefit of the exclusion of nthpr fnrpien commodities. The troops ordered to the Philippines to strengthen the forces there so this Government might be prepared for any eventuality in China are now en route to the islands. The President has suggested that another infantry regiment be sent to Manila. Military experts well know that in the last five years the Chinese array has increased in efficiency at a wonderful rate.

SEEK NEW CONTINENT Expedition to Hunt Mors Land Tor ; the United States. i Danish Captain Plans Trip From the J Mouth of the Mackenzie to SiberiaImportant Discoveries Expected. Washington. D. C.?President Roosevelt was made acquainted with the plans of an expedition intended to locate and possess for the United States a great and unknown continent, or enormous archipelago, about the size ! of Greenland, which exists somewhere j between the Parry Islands and Wrangel Land, off the Siberian coast. Captain Mikkelson, a Danish subject, who will be the leader of the expedition, had .been officially indorsed by the Danish Minister and was personally introduced to the President by Henry Edward Rood, of Harper's Magazine. Afterward Captain Mikkelson and Mr. Rood announced the details of this new exploration plan, which is said to be novel in the history of Arctic expeditions. Captain Mikkelson has no intention of trying to reach the North Pole, an undertaking which he believes to"* be both impossible and useless of attainment. In addition to his intention to locate the unknown Arctic continent, he desires to make acientiflc expeditions which probably will result in new and important additions to present knowledge of geology, meteorology, hydography and " probably ethnology, astronomy and physics. Geographical bodies throughout the world are agreed that a continent, or a mass of great islands, lies to the north and west of the Beaufort Sea, in the one wholly unexplored region of the Arctic Ocean. Captain Mikkelson says that upon discovering the new continent he has arranged to plant there the American flag, to comply with necessary formalities, and claim . it as a possession of the United States. Accompanying Captain Mikkelson will be Ernest Leffingwell, of Illinois, his partner in the undertaking, who ?in /\f oil fKa Will littvir uuai^c ui an cut isctvuwuw work, and Ejmar Ditlevsen, of Copenhagen, who is both a zoologist and an artist. In the latter part of May Mr. Leffingwell and Mr. Ditlevsen will start from Edmonton, British North America, on a voyage of 2200 miles to the mouth of the Mackenzie River, where a fleet of eleven Arctic whalers are now frozen in. For the first 1200 miles they will journey in a light skiff, built for rough water and shooting rapids. This boat will be waiting for them at Athabasca Landing. Arriving at Fort Smith, Great Slave Lake, they will board a steamboat of the Hudson's Bay Company, and travel in her the remaining thousand miles. Meanwhile Captain Mikkelson will . sail from San Francisco, Cal., for Ber< ?? u hJo Auffif nf 1U? OUUll, tail JIU^ uig vuiuv sledges, furs, provisions, firearms and scientific apparatus. Captain Mikkelson will sail under American colors with an American crew and a competent sailing master. After passing Bering Strait Captain Mikkelson will touch on the Arctic coast of Siberia and there pick up two Siberian ponies. Then lie will return to Northern Alaska and will coast : eastward along Alaska and the extreme northern boundary of British America, landing now and then to buy dogs from natives and: reaching the mouth of the Mackenzie River in August, where he will meet Leffingwell and Ditlevsen. They will board the ship, which will go straight to a sheltered bay on the northwest coast of Banks Land, where permanent headquarters will be made. For eighteen months Captain Mikkelson expects to spend much of his time in the extremely important work ol training his dogs. While Mikkelson !s bringing his dog teams to the highest point of efficiency he will be traveling constantly over Banks Land, about which nothing has been added to the records made by McClure in 1831; and he will also journey ? * ? ?- - il. across Wollaston Liana 10 tue suuw east, where he will remain with one companion some eight' months, living with Esquimaux and studying their modes of living and their legends. In the early spring of 1908 Captain Mikkelson with Mr. Leffingwell and Mr. Ditlevsen will say goodby to their ship and start northwestward. Captain Mikkelson expects to reach Wrangel Land (or the Alaskan coast) by June, 1908, haying no dogs left and he and his companions themselves dragging their remaining supplies and three kayaks or Arctic canoes in which they will paddle and drift across the hundred miles of water between Wrangel Land and Siberia. Having no camp equipment remaining. they will sleep 011 the ice floes at night. On reaching the Siberian or Alaskan coast they will board the firsl homeward bound whaler. ORDERS CHINESE BEHEADED.
