DIRECT PRIMARY INISHES RAILROAD EUREKA GENERAL rmj. . i w E IN CHINK' LIKELY TO BE INCREASED WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. The proahlllty of increasing American forces in China along tho railway from Peking to tho sea, because of the withdrawal of troops of nations engaged In the Kuropcan conflict, is being considered by the war depart ment. ' The railway and legations were guarded by troops of tho United States, Great Urltaln, Germany, Aus tria, Russia and Belgium. Many of these have been ordered out since the war began and tho United States probably will supply tho necessary additional guards. When tho war broke out the United States, at the request ot the foreign powers, extended tho Ameri can troops to guard the lino from Pekln to Mukden. Major Genoral Harry, commanding tho Phlllppln de partment, went to China to inspect tho arrangement and reported that, tho guards seemed sufficient. The general opinion here is that the 806 American troops now stationed in China wil bo sufficient. FI AT LONDON, Oct. 23, 3:20 p. m. A dispatch from Paris to Neuter's Telegram company says that accord ing to trustworthy accounts received at tho French capital this morning, fresh troops brought u- by the Ger mans havo enabled them to deliver attacks with increased vigor on the French right wing, where tho battlo has been of n dingdong character, with alternate gains nnd losses.

This bill, on recommendation of bis committee, was indefinitely postponed (see 1907 Senato Journal, 239-240). Mr. Booth voted against tho present eight-hour law for stato and county employes, bouso bill No. 208 (seo 1907 Senato Journal, 828). Tho bill passed, thero boing 6nly two negative votes, and of these Mr. Booth cast ouo. Dur ing tho'snmo session ho voted against house bill No. 283, a bill taxing timber lands, and designed especially to tax lands that were alleged to bo escaping taxation becauso tho owners wero holding from record their patents from tho government.
