matum, but, as with its predecessors, 1t
does not employ the usual formula which
presents an alternative of force in the alb
Sence of a satisfactory reply. At the same
time ii uses the word demand" and that
demand is that the attacks upon the lega-
ton at Pekin Immediately cease
China cannot now further plead inability
to control the mobs in Pekin, nor can 1t
disclaim the responsibility for the attacks.
Our minister officially reports that those
attacks are by imperial troops. This gov
eminent cannot reject his report and re-
ceive the evasive explanations of China
Our minister further reports that the Chi
nese government has offered him safe con-
duct out of Pekin. Necessarily that offer
acknowledges that the imperial authorities
and if it has this power it can control the
situation in the capital. It is either utterly
helpless it is dominant. Mr.. Conger in
forms his government that it is dominant
and in the light of his dispatch there is
nothing for China to do but to agree
To grant our demand accept our advice and
safeguard the ministers by cooperating
with the relief forces: or reject our over
lures and sever all relations.
\ definite answer to this demand must be
awaited before the President can deter
mine whether or not it Is necessary to
summon an extra session of Congress.
Heretofore China has shown a disposition
to give heed to the American suggestions
1t was our effort at communication with
the silent ministers which was of avail be-
cause We utilized the direct Chinese medi-
um of communication. 1t was our protest
against a stoppage of cipher dispatches
that caused a retraction of the offensive
edict- Maybe 1t will be our peremptory de-
mand now that will bring China finally to

A movement was recently started in New
York to suppress all forms of street music,
and an amendment to the municipal regu-
lations was prepared to this end by one
OF the aldermen. Upon publication Of the
news that this project was under way
great outcry Immediately arose from the
poorer quarters or the city, pleading for
the hand-organs, the street pianos and the
bands, which furnish the music of the poor.
Accordingly, with a tip from Tammany
headquarters. the enterprising alderman
has put his resolution back in his pocket
and New York will continue to enjoy the
wheezy. rattling. whining melodies and
harmonies which contribute so volumi-
nOusly TO the city's roar. Undoubtedly 1t
would be unwise to prevent the rendition
of street music Of all styles and in all
places. Yet IT is surely within the range
of reason TO demand that the liberties Of
the wandering MINISTRIES be somewhat cur
tailed. There are hours during which the
ear should be protected from the whine
of barrel organ, the clatter of piano
or the discords OF penny band There
are regions which appreciate higher grades
OF music and execrate these forms The

Advising or sanctioning the abandon

one OF the worst OF all bad American
