AMERICAN TROOPS LIKELY
TO REMAIN LONG IN PFKIN

It was hoped in official circles that
when General Chaffee should be heard
from he would report that the work of
the American expeditiOnary force had
been accomplished by the rescue of the
ministers, and that the blow struck at
the boxer insurgents by the foreign
column had disSiDated the revolution
lists and left China with hands free to
make her peace with the civilized world.
Instead of this, however. General Chat
fee had to report an utterly chaotic
condition of affairs and the capture Of
a capital whence all the heads Of gov
eminent had fed.
There was nothing for the victOrS to
do but TO prevent anarchy by admins
tering on this dereliCt empire which
had fallen into their hands.
Therefore the prospect opened by
General Chaffee's dispatch is that the
American contingent Of necessity will
be detained in China for some time to
come, probably for the whole winter.
This will necessitate the hurried COM
pletiOn of preparations that already
have been begun to comfortably sub
sist our army through the severe Win
ter weather which Will close in on
northern China.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The most i'm
portant dispatch of the day was not
made public by the war department,
but was the subject of an extended
conference at the White House this
morning between the president, Secre-
tary Root and Acting Secretary of
State Adee. It was from General Chat
fee. and arrived about the same time
as the casualty list of the Pekin fight.
1t was dated the 18th, and. therefore.
was not a reply to the message of in
CURRY sent to General Chaffee by the
war department on Monday night
Still. it answered a number of the in
qulrles contained in that message. 1t
dealt entirely with military operations
and conditions. While it cannot be said
to have contained any bad news. and
recorded the brilliant success of the
American troops who have borne them
selves so CALAMITY in the assault on
Pekln, 1t contained enough as to the
unsettled conditions in China and the
prospect of long and arduOus work in
restoring peace to form the subject for
a consultation of some hours between
the president and his advisers.

CHAFFEE PLACED

New York, Aug. pa special to the
World from Washington says:
The war department sent General
Chalee a cablegram of four words late
this afternoon, which practically takes
things out of Minister Conger's hands
and puts General Chaffee in the posi-
tion OK the utmost responsibility.
The message said:

There is no intention Of deDreciating
Minister Conger; the government has
The HeveHest sense Of gratitude for

WOMEN OUT IN STORM
ON GREAT SALT LAKE
Were Forced to Remain on the Water in a Small
Skiff Ali Last Night.
Frantic Efforts of Friends to Rescue Them rade Futile By
Waves that Drove Boats Back.

Three helpless women in a frail lit
tie boat, anchored about a quarter of a
mile out from the SaItair pavilion. rode
in terrific storm on the Great Salt
lake yesterday evening, and to the in
tense alarm of their friends. safe at the
pavilion, were compelled to remain in
their perilous position all night long.
During the fury of the gale and when
the waves were rolling nearly as high
as the pavilion itself, it seemed as if
grim death was making desperate eff
forts to secure for himself these three
victims who were just within his reach
every minute of the long night. The
frantic but futile efforts of those at
the pavilion to rescue the imperiled
ones made the incident a most thrilling
one, and the tension will not be re
lieved until dawn breaks this morn.

Venturesome women.
Safe at Last Accounts.
The women are Mrs. John Hobrecker
of Salt Lake, Mrs. c. w. Eaton of Den

The last seen of them last night they
were still safe, and if the storm did
NOT get worse toward morning Iney Will
be saved, but it is safe to say that if
all three should live to be 100 years of
age, there Will be no experience in all
their lives that will be fresher in their
memories at the close than the remem-
brance of the night they spent on the
Great Salt lake.
The three women with their hus-
bands had started in the afternoon for

to spend a week camping out When

They reached the pavilion and got
their water, but before they got start

the wind until people had to cling TO
the pillars TO Keep from being blown
from the pavilion into the lake.
All this time the three frantic hus-
bands could see the boat out on the
lake tossed about like an egg-Shell
while the salt brine was driven in
clouds over it by the fury of the wind
The boat could be seen plunging and
Juggling at her anchor, and those
watching expected every minute to see
her tear herself loose and rush across
the lake in front of the storm or turn
bottom side up where she was.
The men grew desperate. Time and
again they tried TO put out in the little
skiffs, the only boats at the pavilion;
but each time they were driven back
by the force of the wind and the waves
that rolled higher and higher every
minute Nothing short of a, hfeboat
could face such a storm, and the Won
der is that the boat with the three
women lived through it.
Then Night Came On.
At first the watchers thought they
could see the women trying TO signal
from the boat, but finally black night
settled down and shut out all sight of
women and boat. In vain the men
walked up and down trying to induce
some one TO invent some SCneIlC 70 get
out and rescue the women; in vain
they racked their brains for some plan
TO help them out of the dilemma.
They were forced at last to reconcile
themselves to leaving the women out in
the boat through the entire night The
only comfort they got was from the
falling of the wind, although the waves
We're rolling high when the last report
was sent into town. The sensations eX-
perienccd by the three women can only
be imagined, but it must have been
an awful night for each Of them, and
if they are brought in alive this morn
ing all members Of the party Will have
cause for thanks
1t will be remembered that Mr.. HO-
brecker and his sister-in-law had an
adventure somewhat similar to this one
on the lake about two weeks ago, and
the natural conclusion is that if they
get out of this one safely they will not
be in much Of a hurry 10 go TO Ante
