three minutes, ii is not likely that many
occasions will arise for imposing ii. The

30c.; it Is now 20c.; to Burlington it has
been 55c.; it is now 35c.; st. Adams for

egraphed to Boston and verified Lyons

WI TING FANG'S REQUEST
REFUSED BY GOVERNMENT

Washington June 26.-The chief de-
velopment yesterday in the Chinese sit
uation was the effort OF the Chinese
minister, Wu Ting Fang, to secure an
armistice in the operation of American
troops until III Hung Chang could reach
Pekin and bring about a cessation Of
the disorder. The proposition is rather
a novel one. and is based upon the rep
RESERVATIONS of the viceroys of the i'm
portant provinces of the Yang Use
Kiang valley that they can maintain
order without the aid of foreign troops,
and that the presence of foreigners
would act merely as an incentive to
disorder. Minister Wu brought these
representations TO the attention of Sec
retary Hay, who consulted the prcsi-
dent. The latters decision as subse-
quently conveyed to the minister, was
that while the assurances of the vice.
roys for continued quiet was fully ap-
preciated. the United States could not
bind itself not to send its forces to
points where disorder actually existed
and where the safety of our officials
and citizens are endangered. High gov
ernment officials said it amounted prac-
tically to an offer OF armistice and a
refusal on the part of the United States
to make the arrangement.

Great Britain IIurrying Troops For
ward From India to Engage in
The Great Conflict

London, June 26.-The British cruis-
or Terrible has arrived at Chefoo from
Taku with the latest news, which is as
follows:
Eight hundred Sikhis and 200
Welsh fusiliers have affected n juno
tion with the American, German and
Russian forces which had been cut off
by the Chinese about nine miles from
Tien Tsin. It was proposed to deliver
an assault upon the Chinese forces at
Tien Tsin Sunday night"
1t is not clear what forces united. 1t
would seem that one relieving force,
cut off, had been relieved by another.
At any rate. it is apparently certain
that the allies arrived in sufficient
force at Tien Tsin Sunday to attack the
besieging Chinese.
Foreign official opinions here,
says a dispatch from Shanghai Sin
clines to believe that the worst has
happened to the legations at Fekin and
to Admiral Seymour as we'll. Even if
the legations were safe on June 10,
there is no guarantee that they are
safe now The situation, in fact, grows
more and more gloomy. The entire
absence of reliable news from the cap
ital seems to Justify the worse con-
struction which can be put upon it.
