FAITH In THE INTENTIONS
OF The CHINESE NAVY

Washington. June 23.-Yesterday af-
ternoon M. Cambon, the French am
bassador, and Lord Pauncefote. the
British ambassador, visited the state
department. These frequent visits tol
Secretary Hay Of the ambassadors OF
nations interested in the Chinese situ-
alton fairly illustrate the feverish anx-
iety with which every development inI
the situation is being watched. IL also
may he regarded as an expression OF
the confidence reposed by Europe in
the correct Intentions of the United
States government. which. by it's
prompt action at the beginning Of the
demonstration at Taku, has managed
to make the relief movement imperson-
al, so to speak, as between the nations.
The French government, in addition to
those already recorded, has now signi-
fed its accession to the understanding
that the movement in China is to be
conducted in the common interest, for
the protection of the lives and interests
of foreigners in China, and not for
any national gain.
1t turned out during the day that the
warships which have arrived at Shang-
hal are three Chinese Armstrong built
cruisers. Not much apprehension is
felt on account of the appearance OF
these vessels at Shanghai, for the Of
ficials believe that there is no doubt
as to the good intentions of the Chi
nese navy. Il is only as to the Chinese
army that doubt exists, and the admin
istration officials are exasperated at
the peculiar omission from every Of
flcial message of any statement which
would clear up the doubt as to whether
or not the Chinese army, as well as the
Boxers, are opposing the relief col
umn. and. il the former. then whether
the troops are rebels or are acting TN
der orders from the Chinese govern
ment.
The report published that 1900 for
eigners had been massacred at Tien
Tsin is shown to be false from the fact
that the total foreign population of
that city is only 1000. including 110
Americans.

RESULT OF CENSUS WORK
DISCUSSED BY MERRIAM

Washington, June 23.-Dlrector Of
the following statement for the infor-
matiop of the public:
The census Office is now in receipt
of many letters daily asking for in
formation as to the results of the
census in particular localities, especi-
ally in the larger cities. 1t does not
appear to occur to the writer's that the
census has not yet been taken. The
law allows until June 15 in cities Of
5000 inhabitants, and in rural districts
until the first of July for it's compile
tion, and after that the schedules have
to be examined by the supervisors OF
census before they can be forwarded to
Washington, in order that the super
visors may determine whether the
work has been satisfactorily done.
In order to appease the impatience
OF the public, the following statement
has been prepared, showing what has
to be done with the census returns
when received at Washington and why
it must be weeks. or even months, be-
fore the figures can be given out in
their entirety.
Every enumerator Is required 10 NIL
daily report card showing how many
hours and minutes he has been at
work, and how many persons he has
enumerated that day. Since there are
approximately $4,000 enumerators, and
30 days are allowed for the completion
OF the census. the number Of daily re-
port cards to be examined in the census
Office is somewhere between 100000

feeling" but he also declared that the
native Christian leaders were much
to blame, inasmuch as they engender-
ed litigation in the native courts. He
asserted that he did not regard the
Boxers as a political society, and that
in his opinion the empress had been
misled and misinformed.
Prince Ii said he had been officially
Informed that the Taku forts fired
upon the allied fleet because the ad-
mirals sent an ultimatum calling for
the removal of the soldiers. He does
not interpret that act as a declara-
tion of war, and he has not received
any instructions to the effect that war
has been declared.
His remedy for the situation is to de-
capitate the leaders OF the Boxers, to
send their ignorant followers home,
and to make peace with the powers

London. June 23.-The silence Of Pc

Tien Tsin Tuesday and Wednesday,
with a prospect Of being reinforced
Thursday. This is the situation in
China as set forth in the British gov

says the Shanghai correspondent Of the

Reports from native sources continues

According to these tales the streets are
filled day and night with Boxers, who
are wholly beyond the control of the
Chinese troops, and who are working
themselves up to frenzy and clamor-
ing for the death of all foreigners.
The English consulate at Shanghai
is said to have received from influential
natives reports. of a tragedy in the
palace at Pekin, though precisely what
It is is not defined The consulate
thinks that Admiral Seymour, COM
mander of the international relief col
umn, was misled by information from
Pekin, and consequently underesti-
mated the difficulties in his way and
the Chinese power of resistance with
Maxim guns and Mausers.
The Daily Express says:

Thomas Tower, secretary of the Brit
