and there is nobody but believes tho
worst has happened. 1t is taken for
granted that all the Powers have ex-
nlusted every means to get direct news
from their legations, and the fact that
their efforts have been vain leaves
but one interpretation. The Chinese
representative in Berlin denies the
statement that Ii Hung Chang had
sent 10 him hopeful telegram. He
says that on the contrary no direct
telegram has been received by him
from Ii Hung Chang for some time
past.
The days news is again restricted to
the usual crop of untrustworthy
Shanghai rumors. the most serious of
which, reported by the correspondent OF
the Express. is TO the effect that Eu-
ropeanS are directing the Chinese mil
itary operations.
The correspondent asserts that Cap
tain Bailey. of ii. NJ. 5. Aurora. dis
tinctly saw man in European garb
directing the Chinese artillery opera
tons outside of 'rien Tsin.
Foreign refugees from Tien Tsin
openly accuse n European official whose
name the Express correspondent sup
presses, and Col. Won Hannoken. who
was formerly employed to drill the
NHincSc troops. ol being parties to
plot TO procure the escape OF General
Chang and themselves from Ticn Tsin
before the bombardment. leaving the
other foreigners to their fate.
Statements are in circulation in
Shanghai accusing the Russians of in
discriminate slaughter of friendly Chi
nese non combatants. without regard
to age or sex. The manager of Il Chi
nese steamship company who has ar
rived in Shanghai asserts that he only
escaped from Tien Tsin by cutting off
his queue and donning European
clothes. 1t is stated that the Taotai of
Shanghai protested to the Powers
against the Russian slaughtcrs
1t is asserted that the Buddhist
priests throughout the empire arc
propagating Prince Tuan's anti-foreign
gospel.
News Is circulating throughout the
Tank Use valley that General Ma has
inflicted crushing defeat upon the al
lies at Tien Tsin and that the foreign
army has been cut to pieces east of
Pekin. The actual impotence for the
movement of the allied forces naturally
gives color to these stories with the
worst results.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Express gives Ten Tsin adviccs to
July Sth. when the superior range of
the Japanese artillery enabled them to
relieve the Russians. who were hard
pressed at the railway station.

ION TO PEKiN."
OUR GOVERNMENT DETERMINED
TO KNOW MINISTER CON
GERS FATE.
By Telegraph 10 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

,
Washington, July 12-"On to Pekin"
is the policy adopted by our govern
ment. 1t is said that, regardless of the
issues raised as to the authenticity
of the late Chinese note. or the accu-
racy of it's statement OF fact, or the
question raised as To the responsible
ity for the present situation, our gov
eminent is at least determined not to
relax its efforts to reach Pekin. to get
in touch With Mr.. Conger, if he is
alive. to take necessary steps for the
protection of American interests. and
in fact. to do all these things
set out in Secretary Hays note to the
Powers. including Il reckoning with
the person or persons responsible for
the outrageous events of the past six
weeks.
Twenty-four hours consideration of
the Chinese note leaves the officials
here convinced that it, marks the be-
ginning of a general effort on the part
of the Chinese officials to relieve them
selves from responsibility for the
treatment of the foreign ministers and
the fighting a Tien TSin.
The news from Tien Tsin of the un-
satisfactory relations bcwcen the al
lied forces goes to confirm the War
Department officials here in their orig
inal convictions that two ort hree bril-
gades OF American troops, veterans of
the Indian wars, of the Cuban cam
paign and of the Philippine jungle
hunts could have achieved some valu-
able results by this time had they
been at Tien Tsin.
Colonel Liscom's orders are broadly
framed. and 1t is said at the War De-
partment that while he retains com
mand of his own men under all cir
cumstanceS he may cooperate to any
extent with the allied forces.

and had to be coaxed to do that On
this particular morning his first request
was for Grape-Nuts, OF which he Is very
fond. His mother had some cornmeal
mCsh cooked, and served him with that
instead, but after he had looked at it for
a moment, he pushed it away Indignantly,
saying, I don't want that; I want Grape
Nuts He would not be satisfied until
Grape-Nuts were served to him. which
he ate with evident enjoyment. We were
interested in his Discrimination. and you
