Washington, August 28, A dispatch received at the Japantwe legation today (ram the foreign oltice of Japan, con veying the latest and most authentic Information of tb situation lu aud around Pekln. In a measure the ad vice wer of a disquieting nature as they Indicated that the Chiuee had rallied their force anil weie preparing for an attack upon tbe allies in Pekln. If It should prove that tb allied forces wer besieged In Pekin it would ac count for th lack of advice from (ten eial Chaffee. As made public by Min ister Takahlra th disiiatch from the Japaue foreign olllc at Tokio is as follow: "An official telegram, dated Pekin, August 18, was received at Toll ) from General Yamaguchi, commander of tbe Japaue forces, to tbe following effect: 'lb capital I now entirely cleared of tb enemy. A cavalry regiment which had been ent to Wau Shau Khun (wher th empress dowager's palace 1 located), report that the imperial family, who had left Pekin August 14, started, after a short rest at Wn Shan Shan for tb west, and were under the escort of Oenerat Maa and bis troops, consisting of only alivut 600 horsemen and 20 carts. Tbe Japanese forces oc cupied tb treasury department, in which over 2,000,000 tael in silver and a large quantity of ric were found.' ''Another telegraphto dispatch, dated Takil, August 23, state tbat as the Chines troop aud lloxers, who bad gathered at Nan Yuen, were about to attack the foreign force at Pekln, Ja panes aud ltutiian cavalry wore ex pected to encounter them on the 20th.

A copy of the dispatch was transmit ted to Acting Secretary Adee, at the department of state and by him fur nished to the president. While the new of a possible rear attack upon the comparatively (mall force of the allies wa not received with aurpiiee, gener ally, It was not regarded a serious, as tbe foreign force are believed to lie abundantly able to take care of them selves against any force of Chine likely to be sent agalmt them.

Tbe wheat of th Colum bia river basin in Washington and Ore gon is thus declared to be tbe best in the world. Tbe exhibit wa prepared under tbe direction of Col. R. C. Judson, indus trial agent of tbe O. R. & N. Tbe principle portion of tbe exhibit came from the company' experimental farm at Walla Walla. Bnt large quantities of grains and grasses wer obtained from several other places in th two states. The exhibit consisted of 58 different varieties of wheat, and a few (ample of oat and barley. "I wa confident that they would prove world-beaters," remarked Mr. Judson. "I bad exer cised great care in the (election of th seed. Tbe display waa certainly a magnificent one, and w? are more than pleased to learn that onr opinion i bared by those in authority at Pari." The grain went from Portland by ex pre in a neatly framed and painted package. A Urge box of grain in quart sack wa sent. Tb sack were mad of fine white cloth, tied with red. white and jblue ribbons and tbe following printed inscription, in brilliant scarlet ink: "Kaised along the line of tbe Oregon -Railroad & Navigation Company; head quarters, Portland, Or., U.

These sam ple are intended for distribution tn the principal wheat center of the United kingdom, and it Is left to the depart ment of agiicalture to see to the suc cessful carrying ont cf this programme. Mr. Judson says hi idea in accom panying these small packages by tbe mentioned data wa to satisfy tbe sev eral recipients, should tbey compare notes, tbat tbe sample were from sev eral field and not from on particular ly favored section. Tbe effect of thi remarkable recognition of the resources of tbe Northwest will be far-reacning.
