CHINA SEEMS POWERLEss.
Russian Efforts to BE Directed to
Restoration of order.

St. Petersburg, Aug. "A communique
in the Oficial Messenger says:
Information concerning the march of
events in China shows the absolute
powerlessness of the Pekin government
against the rebels.
THE Chinese Emperor's message to the
Car, dated July 8, substantially In the
same terms as those to President McKin-
ley, President Loubet and Queen Victoria,
recited the Cars reply to previous mes
sage and expressed grief over the disor-
ders in China.
The absence of news from Pekin as to
the fate of the Russian and other minis
ters renders mediation difficult. Russian
efforts will be directed TO the restoration
of order in China. Russia is willing 10
aid the Emperor in this respect"
Gen. Grodokoff. under date of Wednes-
day, Aug /, telegraphs as follows:
THE Chinese fortress at Hunghun was
stormed by Gen. Ajgustoff July 80, thus
relieving the posts of Novokijevskoje and
Postia, threatened by the Hunghum gar
rson. Many guns were taken. The Rus
sian loss was two officers and six men
killed and four men wounded"

REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING.
Ministers Reported Safe but Chinese
Troops Are Said to Have Killed
More Christians.

London, Aug. 8. S:45 a. m.-No word
comes this morning regarding the for
tunes of the comparatively small body
of troops believed 10 be forging their way
toward Pekin. The silence is probably
due 10 diligent censorship rather than to
any lack of developments.
A Shanghai special announces the re-
ceipt of an official telegram from the
Tsung-li-Yamen asserting that the min
listers were all we'll on July 80 and that
vegetables. fruits and other supplies had
been sent to the legatio on several oc-
casions
Friendly intercourse" the official tele-
gram says, "is not being carried on be-
tween the ministers and the imperial gov-
eminent"
According to the Daily Express, how
ever, cablegrams from Che Foo announce
that the imperial troops, advancing to OPP
pose the relief force, have completely
wiped out a Christian town near Pekin
killing five foreign priests and 10000 native
Christians.
Gen Gaselee. so says this correspond
ent. was strongly opposed to an imme-
date advance, but he was overruled by
the other commanders and Influenced by
Washingtons order to Gen. Chaffee, to

From Shanghai the Daily Express has
received confirmation of the reported
murder of fifty missionaries in the PROV
ince of Shan 81. with the additional in
formation that eight English women were
dragged OUT of the mission buildings by
a Oh rlese mob who beheaded them in the
streets Of Chu Chou.
French troops are reported to have oc-
cupied Meng Tsze, in the province of Yum
Nan.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard says:
"A heartrending letter has been receiv-
ed from the Japanese legation, dated July
22 stating that the casualties number 60
per cent, that only twenty-five cartridges
per man are left, with atoms sufficient
for FIVE days, and that it is feared the
legation will succumb within week"

Communication With COngcr an Alb
soIute Prerequisite to Negotia-
lions With China.

Washington, Aug. 2-The State Depart
ment has made public the following CORE
spondence between Ii Hung Chang and
the State Department regarding the
abandonment of the campaign on Pekin.
kilograms sent to the United States
embassies in Berlin, London, Paris. Rome
and ST. Petersburg and to the United
States minister, Toxic:
state Department, Washington, Aug. /,
l9O0.-In reply to a suggestion of Ii Hung
Chang that the ministers might be sent
under safe escort TO Tien Tsin provided
the Powers would engage not to march on
Pekin, the Secretary OF State replied on
the SOth of July.
This government will not enter into
any agreement regarding disposition or
treatment of legations without first hav-
ing free communication with Minister
Conger. Responsibility for their pIotec>
ton rests upon the Chinese government.
Power to deliver at Tien Tsin presupposes
power to protect and to open communica-
ton. This is insisted on"

ranged that the Powers should not ad-
vance on Pekin pending negotiations"
To this inquiry the following reply was
sent on the 1st of August:
"Goodnow. oorsul general, Shanghai:
Il do not think it expedient to submit
the proposition of Earl Ii 10 the other
Powers. Free communication with our
representatives il Pekin is demanded as
a matter of absolute right and not as
favor. Since the Chinese government ad-
mits that it possesses the POWER to give
communication IL puts itself in an un-
friendly attitude by denying it, No nego-
tiations seem advisable until the Chinese
government shall have put the diplomatic
repre- ssntatlvss of the Powers in full and
free communication with their respective
governments ard removed all danger to
their lives and liberty. We would urge
Earl Lii earnestly TO advise the imperial
authorities of China to place themselves
in friendly communication and co-opera-
ton with the relief expedition. They are
assuming a heavy responsibility in acting
otherwise. Hay"
You will communicate this Information
10 the minister of foreign affairs"

HAYS ACTION INDoRSED.
Cabinet Satisfied Earl LIS Threat Is
a Big Bluff,


Washington, Aug. 2-The special cabinet
meeting to-day lasted about two and a
half hours. There were present beside
the President Secretary Hay, Secretary
Root, Secretary Gage and Postmaster
General Smith. The discussion was con
fined almost exclusively to the Chinese
situation.
No change in the present policy of the
government resulted from the meeting to-
day. The action of Secretary Hay, in no.
tifying the Powers we had informed Lii
Hung Chang that we insisted upon being
placed in communication with our minis
ter, was unanimously indorsed. The CO.
vert threats thrown out by Ii and the 9TH
er viceroys as to the disaster that might
overtake the legationers if the advance of
terized by one of the members of the cabi-
net at bluff"
AS long as the administration has no
absolute knowledge that the Chinese gov
ernment has been implicated in the attacks
on the legation it will be assumed that its
attitude is correct and the administrat ton,
therefore, is not prepared to accept al this
time the statement of DR.. Morrison, the
London correspondent of the Times in
Pekin, that imperial edicts encouraged the
the trouble. To do so would be almost
tantamount to admitting that the Chinese
government had made war up the Powers.

BRITISH VIEWS ON CHINA.
england Opposed to Division of the
Empire and VIII Insist on Chi
nese Administration,

London, Aug. 2.-Replying to a question
in the House of Commons to-day the par-
hamentary secretary for the foreign Of
nee Mr.. Brodrick, said a report reached
the admiralty Tuesday, July 81. from Rear
Admiral Bruce stating that although Rear
ADMIRAL kempff, of the United States
navy, attended the council of admirals
before the attack on Taku, he was un-
able to take any action because he had
received no authorization from Washing
ton 20 do so.
Replying to query by Sir Ellis Ashmead
as TO the fact whether the forces of
Great Britain and Japan are prepared to
advance in strength on PelSin, and as TO
who is commanding the allies, Mr.. Brod-
rick said he had no fresh information to
communicate.
Later in the session Mr.. Brodrick said
that although large forces were now at
lien Tsin, they were not fully armed and
equipped. AS far as he was able to Judge
at present, there was no lack of COOP
GRAFTON among the commanders and no
avoidable delay.
In giving the daily record of steps the
government nad taken with view to res
cuing the legations, MIR. Brodrick stated
that on July the government proffered
financial assistance to Japan with the
special object of relieving the legations
The government, he said, would press for
ward by every means in their power the
relief of the legations. In the Yang-tse
sphere British ships and forces would as
sist the viceroys, but must limit their an
dertakings to the defense of Shanghai
The government had thought it wise to
order third brigade from India, in readi-
ness for possible emergencies.
The cabinet, Mr.. Brodrick said, was
completely unanimous against partition of
China, which would be fraught with infin-
ite danger, and the government had no
reason to believe they were at variance
with any of the European Powers in that
respect.
Further, the government would do moth
ing TO set up anything but Chinese ad-
Ininistration in China. The government
had not in contemplation the idea of or
Ganizing the Chinese army under foreign
officers.
What form the indemnity should take
Brodrick thought II was time when
the less said the better. Great changes
might result from the recent calamitous
events, but he hoped the European Pow
ers would discover scme foundation on
which to build up Chinese government
which would insure civilization to a poD-
ulation forming one-third of the human
race.
