MOB LAW RULES IN PEKING..

TsunG-Li-Yamen Probably Unable to Hold
IT in Check.
''The streets of Peking." continues the
correspondent of The Daily Express,
''are reported to be seething with anti
foreign mobs, clamOring for the de-
structlon of the legations and the death
of the foreign ministers. Even We're
the tsung-li-yamen disposed to restrain
the violence of the reactiOnaries it is
highly improbable that they
will be able to hold them in check.
For the foreign ministers the crisis
will arise when the relief column
comes in sight OF Peking. 1t is still
felt here that the foreign force is who'll
ly inadequate to battle with the hordes
of Chinese troops massed outside the
gates, which now include the imperial
troops from Shan-Hai-Kwan."
disquIeting element in the situa-
ton is the fact that although the Rus
sO-Chinese telegraph line from Peking,
via Kiakhta eastern SiberiaD is work
ing again, the transmission of war
messages is rigidly refused.
The international column appears to
he still at Lang Fang, engaged in
slowly repairing the railway, which
(according to a dispatch from Tien
Tsin to The Daily Mail, dated June
I'D cannot be effected for weeks. The
force is short of provisions, and as it
Is without field transport it must stick
to the railway.
The report that the mixed troops
Will seize the Taku forts is taken to
mean that the foreign commanders ex-
pect no aid from the Chinese govern
ment in repressing the disorders and
are determined to make Taku secure

FruitIess.

st. Louis, June 16-At the con clu-

company, the former announced that
all negotiations were off, Whitaker
refusing to accede that the reinstate-

st. Louis, June 16.-By practically
unanimous vote the striking street
railway union men decided yesterday
to accept the new proposition present
ed by their executive committee and to
empower the executive committee to
settle on the basis of the clause re-
garding reinstatement without refer
ence to the union. This action was
brought about through the influence Of
Samuel GOmpers, president OF the
American Federation Of Labor, who
arrived in st. Louis Thursday.
The new proposition contains seven
clauses and the seventh is the one that
will probably attract the most atten-
ton of the company. 1t is as follows:
THE question of reinstatement of for
mer employees shall be submitted to ar
bitration. And in regard to section z
covering the reinstatement of our
members, the executive board is
hereby authorized and empowered to
reach a settlement either through a
conference and agreement with the
company. or by submitting 1t to arbi-
tration, as provided for in the above
section" The proposal was present
ed to the company, which is to reply
today.
