Wroth Over the Murder of Baron

Intent to AvenGc 1t.

London, July 3. 2:30 p. m.-The fact
that a relief column has been unable
to leave Tien Tsin in response to the
pathetic prayer of the beleaguered le-
cations at Pekin, is generally regarded
in London as destroying almost the
last vestige of hope for the unfortu-
nate foreigners pent up in the Chi
nese capital. The worst is feared. and
the massacre of them is in every nan 5
mind. 1t is beginning to be felt here
that the plausible fiction that no state
of war exists is no longer tenable, and
a single nationality is needed to deal
with them instead of an assorted ex-
petition of dozen nationalities.
