this hour no further news has been re-

ere at Pekin from any source. In the
House OF Commons last evening, be-
yond an admission that there was no
ground for hoping that the report was
not true, Mr.. Broderick. parliament
tary secretary OF the Foreign Office,
had nothing to communicate.
No question was put TO Lord Sails
bury in the House OF Lords, proba bly,
by preconcerted arrangement. it be-
ing considered that at the present
stage of AFFAIRS it would be only en-
barTassing To force the Premier to
make statement.
1t was whispered on the ministerial
side of the House that the next vote

Telegrams from Shanghai and Che
FOO indicate an increasingly serious
state of affairs. II is alleged that the

attitude OF the Chinese and the tempta-
ton 70 loot the vast stores Of merchan-
disc recently accumulated there. IL
seems that the Chinese have already
threatened to fire the great oil tanks

threatening the foreign settlement. The

been ordered south. with instructions to

July 10. and Shanghai, July 16.)-At >
O'Clock this afternoon seven thousand
of the allied troops were attempting to
storm the wall OF the city. The attack
began at daylight. Its success is doubt
ful. The Chinese on the walls are esti-

are pouring terrific hail of artillery

hackers. The Americans, Japanese

Ing from the west and the Russians
from the east.
The Americans suffered terribly. AS
the Associated Press representative left
the field the chief surgeon of the Ninth
Infantry said conservative estimate
was that 20 per cent. of the Americans
were hit. Colonel Emerson H. Liscum
is reported to have been mortally
wounded as he was walking in front OF
the troops. Major Regan and Captains

ennlading and direct fire. 1t was
equally difficult for them to advance or
retire.
The correspondent counted 500
wounded men of all nationalities.
AMERICAN OFFICERS KILLED.
London, July 1.-THE Evening News
prints Il dispatch dated at Shanghai to-
day. giving Il detailed account of the
attack of the allied forces on the native
city OF Tien Tsin. as reported in the
dispatch to the Associated Press dated
Tien Tsin. July IL. According to the
Evening News dispatch the allies were
repuSed and compelled to retreat with
loss of more than 100 killed. the
British losing forty and the Japanese
sixty. The Americans and Russians,
II Is added, also suffered heavily
Among the Americans killed were Col
onel French, of the Twenty-fifth In
iantry. and Colonel Liscum. of the
Ninth Infantry. a Russian Colonel of
artillery was also killed.
The dispatch adds that the China
men fought with great desperation,
and that their craftsmanship was ac-
curate and deadly.
SOMEWHAT CONTRADICTORY.

eral Goodnow cabled to the State De-
pdi ti!eIt lTOlH Shanghai unuer TO-
days date, that there is nothing more
to report since his cablegram of the

the attack on the legations at Pekin as

Shanghai story that all foreign Con-
suls were informed Saturday by Sheng
that the legations had fallen and the
Ministers were killed.

An official at the Foreign Office said
to the Associated Press to-day:
I'VE are still wondering whether we
are at war With China. Till we aScer-
tain, we cannot take any action
against its diplomatic representative.
The whole thing is so CHASTITY, so ut

can spare"
Since the definite news of the mas

further action or the advisability of
declaring war upon the Chinese Gov
