The absence of direct news from Pekin

It is feared that the unrest Is spreading

be increa sed when the flight of the en-
peror is known. The theory of some con-
servative journals that England is at
war with China is not yet officially ac-
cepted by the British government, which
has not broken off relations with the
Chinese legation pending the receipt of
further information from it's diplomatic
and military advisors in Pekin.
