TO AVOID POSSIBILITIES
CHINA's ONLY WAY IS TO ALLOW
MINISTER'S TO BE REsCUED.
Believed Thi. Will Be Done IL mn
Agreement Can Bs Car
rfed out.

The reply of the State Department to the
edict of China appointing Ii Hung Chang
envoy plenipotentiary to negotiate peace
shows that there is no change in the atti-
tude of this government, and the belief is
entertained that this communication must
satisfy the Chinese that there is no avoid
ance of hostilities except through the lib
Grafton of the foreign ministers. The COM
munication says as plainly as 1t can be
said that the relief force will continue its
march toward Pekin, and that the only way
to avoid hostilities is for China to permit
it to advance unopposed.
The forward movement cannot be check
ed for purposes Of negotiation The gov
ernment at Washington does not know
what to expect from China in response. 1t
is not believed that the Chinese government
can misunderstood the attitude of the for
egn powers, that it can desire to face
the inevitable disaster. of a war with the
powers, unless the situation in the internal
affairs OF the empire is such that the
government has no choice save to resist the
demand OF the powers in order to save the
dynasty from overthrow through revoIa-
ton.
The true situation at Pekin is enyeloped
in mystery. The only hope of a peaceful
settlement of the trouble lies in the ability
OF the Chinese government to carry out a n
agreement in good faith. No doubt is felt
that if the government is able to do SO it
will comply with the demand that the
escort escort OF the ministers from Pekfn by the
allied forces be permitted but it is not at
all certain that the Chinese government
has any actual existence as a government
Ihe theory is advanced that the dynasty
mas already been overthrown, and that
there is no responsible authority with power
enough to carry out an agreement entered
INTO. In that event there is nothing to do
but to rely entirely upon force and if NAV
be found on entering Pekin that there is
more to do besides rescue the ministers and
those under their immediate protection.

action the government has netted a saving
of about Slb,000dUO
The controller of the currency has sent

to Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, August 1.-THE Hamburg
American line steamer Deutschland, which
sailed from New York August for Ham
burg. arrived here at $50 this morning,
making new record for the eastward pass
age and the fastest time ever attained by

and 45 minutes. Her highest days run was
552 knots. The Deutschland made an aver
age speed of 30 knots during the passage.
NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Deutsch-
land cleared the Sandy Hook lightship at
3:,5 pm last "Wednesday, having been de-
tained waiting for the tide to rise in order
to cross the bar off Sandy Hook. Following
the day after the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which arrived at Cherbourg yester-
day. considerable interest has been taken
in watching for the arrival of the two great
rivals. and some anxiety was felt for the
Deutschland, which has been proven un-
grounded, because of the arrangement OF
her machinery by reason of its newness on
her last voyage, which delayed her arrival
here till Sunday night august -. By her
present performance the Deutschland has
beaten the record-breaking time made on
her maiden passage eastward in July by
three hours and twenty-one minutes.

LEGATIONS UNDER FIRE

LONDON, August 14.-The St Petersburg
papers are campaigning against the politi-
cal activity Of Great Britain in the Yang
tse valley. The St Petersburg Gazette has
interviewed member OF the United States
embassy as to the reasons why the United
states assumed a hostile attitude toward
China and the motive Of Ii Hung Chang's
declaration that Minister Conger could be
sent safe to Tien Tsin on condition that the
United States abandon the idea of a march
on Pekin. The member of the United States
embassy in question is quoted as saying the
United States was indignant at thus being
bargained with and expressed the belief
that the United States would send many
troops to China.
Gen. Chaffee's message announcing his
arrival August 0 at Hos!-Wu stands as the
latest official intelligence of the march of
the allied forces on Pekin. The English
papers say ii is rather annoying that their
naval and military officers cannot communi-
cate with the high officials here, while Ad-
miral Remey and Gen Chaffee can do so by
the Shanghai-Canton wire
