WASHINGTON. July 30rH, 1900
That one of the bloodiest wars in
history Is about to be fought in China
is now almost the general belief in
Washington, but much better under
standing must be reached by the ma
tons supposed to be allied against
China before anything important is
likely to be accomplished. The jeal-
ousy, open and secret, between Russia
and Japan, is believed to be largely, ii
not entirely, responsible, for the delay
in starting the allied army from Taku
to Pekin. The safety of the foreign
ministers is no longer the most lmpor-
tant factor. Even accepting the Chi
nese assurances of their safety, the
known massacre of other foreigners has
made the occupation of Pekin by for
eign army necessary in order to teach
the Chinese needed lesson in good be-
haviour as we'll as to compel the pay
ment of suitable indemnity. If the
other powers declare war on China, the
President will have to call an extra
session of Congress to decide what this
government will do.
