I The Chicago Tribune is a newspaper for bright and intelligent peo­ ple. It is made njrro attract people who think. Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trim­ ming in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents. Matters of national or vital public interest get more space in THE TRIBUNE than in any Other paper in the West. For these reasons It is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West. It presents the news in as fair a way as pos­ sible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles on all news features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE" published daily on the first page gives yon briefly all the news of the day within one col­ umn. It&sporting news is always the best, and its Sunday Pink Sporting Section is better than any sporting paper in the country. It iu the "cleanest" daily printed in the West.

All foreigners have been ordered out' of Tientsin. The situation is con­ sidered desperate. The Chinese are pushing their entrenchments under the walls. The railway between Tientsin and Lutal is in the hands of the Chi­ nese. International forces have abandoned relief of Pekin owing to inadequate forces. All foreig ners there are re­ ported killed. The poisoning of the emperor, who died, and the empress dowager, has been confirmed. Russian troops are near Pekin on the north, but it is feared .the renort of the murder of all foreigners in the city is true. England awaits an answer to its re­ quest that Japan, despite Russia's at­ titude, cfusli the revolt in China. Chinese are reported to have butchered 10.000 persons In Peking, and it is feared the Boxer revolt will spread throughout the empire if the allied army is defeated. Fort Sheridan battalion, the Fif­ teenth infantry and the First cavalry will form part of a large American army to go to China. The allied Japanese and Russian troops routed the Chinese with 1,000 loss to the enemy rt Lang Fang, eight­ een miles from Tientsin, on the way to Pekin.
