To these explanations of the predominating in

Lockhart who had resided for q long while in

that the Chinese feared Russia more than the
other Powers which could merely parade their
fleets along the coasts. while the Muscovites were
a land Power, constantly advancing toward Peking.
He writes:
The Russian Government anticipated us-not in
the knowledge of the advantages Of close CONNER

OF those arguments that alone could render a
vain and effeminate State sensible of their value.

THE OFFICIALS PUZZLED.
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING SHANGHAI RE
PORT-oRDERs SENT TO CoNsULs
By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
Washington. July 1.-While there was no for
NAL Cabinet council to-day, Secretary Hay had
at various times with him members of the
Cabinet for the discussion of the condition of
affairs in China. It is understood no change of
policy was determined upon.
The indefinite character Of the news from
China regarding the condition Of the foreign
legations in Peking continues to be a source of
perplexity to the Administration officials here.
They confess that II is difficult to arrive at
satisfactory conclusion on the subject, although
the preponderance Of evidence points TO the Ger
man Minister'S murder. At the same time, Off
cials say discrepancy Of dates is apparent.
The first dispatches stating that he had been
killed were dated from London, June 16, and
referred to special dispatch from Hongkong
which said all the Peking legations had been
DESTROYED and the German Minister killed The
official dispatch from Consul Goodnow, and also
the Shanghai press dispatches of to-day, place
his death as having occurred on June IS, two
days after the first report. The discrepancy
caused some comment
Minister Wu said tonight that he had not re-
ceived any dispatches during the day from any
part OF China. He also is puzzled over the news.
which he says appears to him contradictory re-
garding the legations. He still expresses the
hope that they are safe.
While awaiting with the greatest interest the
trend Of events in Northern China, the officials
are not neglecting American interests in the
central and southern provinces. The consuls
are addressing themselves 10 the Viceroys of the
provinces in which they are located, and are
bending every effort TO see that American in
terests may have protection. SO long this
protection is granted there viii be naval or
military force sent by this Government into the
territory represented by the Viceroys. 1t is
realized here that the Chinese are fully alive as
TO the results which might follow the introduc-
tion within their territory Of a foreign force, and
for this reason are as anxious as the foreigners
themselves may be that recourse to such steps
may not be necessary.
