LEGATIONS UNDER RIFLE FIRE

Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
dated July 2: THE diplomats and mis-
sionaries are in the British legation un-
der rifle fire. Cannon command the le-
cation, but are not being used. The
British. German and italian legations
are still standing"
A BRITISH OPINION.
London, July 3.-The fact that the re-
lief column has been unable to leave
Tien Tsin in response to the pathetic
prayer Of the beleaguered legations at
Pekin Is generally regarded in London
as destroying almost the last vestige of
hope for the unfortunate foreigners
pent up in the Chinese capital 1t is be-
ginning to be felt here that the piausi-
BILE fiction that no state of war exists is
no longer tenable, and a fully equipped
army belonging to single nationality
Is necessary to deal with the situation
instead Of an assorted expedition o. halt
a dozen nationalities. Hence arises a
demand that Japan shall be given a
mandate to complete the work lett un-
done in 1894 with proper security that
she shall not be again squeezed out
when the costly task is over.
