Russians and Japanese Move Toward Pekin
A Washington dispatch reports Russian and Japanese troops heading for Pekin to join naval forces at Taku.

Japan may deploy one to three regiments, while no official plan seeks to dethrone the Empress Dowager. Moore's Hill College held its forty third commencement with degrees awarded to Liberal Arts and Music graduates.
