The directing of the admirals not to
attempt the relief of the besieged
forces has filled the entire European
community, the daily Mails Shanghai
correspondent says, with the bitterness
of despair A few, however, affirm that
no other course is open. 1t is pointed
out that the Chinese opposing Admiral
Seymour were only a fraction of the
from Tien Tsin, which numbers almost
100000 nearly all well armed. The
allies have no real means OF transport
and there is no food in the country, as
it is being laid waste. The question OF
ammunition is also serious one. On
ly Japan and to lesser extent Russia,
is able to push up war material in
the vast quantities made necessary by
the continuous fighting.
The consensus of opinion among the
military and naval authorities in that
is will require at least fifty thousand
men to rescue the Europeans in Pek-
ing.
The Dowager's Edict
Berlin, July 5.-A dispatch from
Canada, dater the Srd, gives the gist
of two edicts of the. dowager empress
treating with the Boxers attack on
the foreign powers on China and the
latter's position. The edicts declare re-
cancellation with the Christians,
against whom the whole nation, in
Guiding the princes, military officials,
literati and mobiles is united, and is
now stamping out, is quite impossible.
1t is asserted the powers began the
fight by the attack on Talu, thereby
enhancing the bitter feeling against
all foreigners, saying any attempt
to suppress the people would be dan;
gerous. Therefore it seems expedient
at present to utilize any anti-foreigu
movement"
One edict AYERS the dowager empress

the foreigners or the Chinese are the

for defense of their districts, as they

THIRTY-sIX HOURS EFFECTIVE
PERIOD.
Result of Experiments Practical and
archaeological Carried on at Govern
ment Plant at Aala Warehouse.

In regard to the fumigation at the
Aala plant, and to make clear the whole
subject on which DR.. Hoffman merely
reported to the Board of Health GER
tain details, A. B. Ingalls, who has
charge of the fumigation makes the
following statement:
Experiments were performed to es-
tablish the narrowest limits within
which the fumigation of personal eff
tects might be successfully carried out
at the Aala plant.
THE first experiment demonstrated
the fact that eighteen hours was too
short a time.
THE second experiment demonstrate
ed that thirty-siX hours fumigation is
effective. Because, even as late as last
night no growth had taken place in
tubes replanted from the bacilli of the
second experiment, showing that the
bacilli were surely killed; and in addi-
ton to this fact of actually killing the
bacilli, l have the statement of DR..
Camp, the assistant of DR.. Hoffman.
that the cultures used in the second
experiment are Of a kind more tenaci-
Gus of life, more difficult to kill, than
those of bubonic plague.
1T seems to me that we have been
successful and have established the
basis on which to proceed with fumiga-
tion of personal effects at Aala and on
this basis we shall proceed knowing
that thirty-six hours fumigation is
effective"
