WHEN THE HEN COMES OFF

pr. c. A. Norret, beardless young medi- cal student, had done the actual killing.
 Early this forenoon it was said at the hospital that the aged insurance solicitor, H. H. Batte, who was dangerously wounded yesterday, was sinking rapidly The other wounded, however are reported to be do- ing well.
 Squads of the citizen police have been sent to various sections of the city this morning, but reports received by the Mayor from them say that everything is quiet.
 At the exchanges and in the business dis tricts the belief was expressed that there would be a rapid calming of all excitement.
 Negroes Have Emigra ei
 Thousands of negroes have emgrated from the city.
 Mayor Capdeville remained at his office all of last night, and has been in close tele- phonic communication with the various po- lice precincts of the city and with the mili- tia and the citizens emergency police head quarters. When asked about the situation he said everything was quiet, and that in- diactions pointed to a continuance of quiet ness. He said that now that Robert Charles had been captured and killed by the frenzied citizens of the city his death would have the effect of placing the city again in its normal condition. The Mayor said he would hold the militia and the spe- cia1 police sworn in during the past two days in their armories until assured be- yond doubt that there would not be any further rioting.

THRILLING STORY
Of How Missionaries Attempted to Es-
 cape fiom Pekin

Chicago, July 2S.-A letter telling of a desperate but not intellectual attempt made by missionaries to escape from Pekin was received here today by Morgan s. Wood- ward, an Evanston man whose wife and daughter lone were visiting Minister Con- ger and family in the Chinese capital.
 The letter was written June Il, sent by courier to Tfen Tsin and mailed at that place June 14. The missionaries, Mrs. Woodward said, had fled to the American legation June 10, acting under the advice of Minister Conger. Her daughter, accom- panied by Secretary Bainbridge and a guard of four soldiers, left the legation and started for the railway depot; with much difficulty they reached the station only to find that the Boxers had torn up the rails for several miles, burned the bridge be- tween Pekin and Tien Tsin and cut the telegraph wires. Nothing remained but to return to the legation. They were contin- ually attacked by rowing bands of riotous natives, but after desperate running fight they managed to gain the protection of the legation. In the legation, Mrs. Woodward said, 1t was reported that a small army of allies started to relieve the prisoners. Pro- visions, she declares, were plentiful In concluding her letter Mrs Woodward says:
 ''We feel confident that we will be res- cued. Tn fact, we are assured that every- thing possible will be done by our govern ment and the other Christian nations to relieve us immediately"

conferences among the republican leaders. and the Ohio senator was immediately be- sieged by republicans of all shades of be- lief on Porto Rican policy. While several of them supported his proposition as a wise one, many others contended against it as calculated to commit the country to a course which might be more easily repent ed of than remedied. They held that it would be easier in the future to change from the present policy of imposing a tar if to free trade than 1t would be to change from free trade to tariff. Fear was felt by the advocates of a tariff that such an amendment could be passed with the as- sistance of the democratic free traders.
 The conservatives held out for the present bill. Some of them expressed the opinion that the bill was now strong enough to win its way through the senate. Senator Foraker himself Is welded to the bill un- der consideration, and on account of this prediction he decided, after conferring with almost every one of the republican serla- tors, to allow matters to drift for few days
 After the senate adjourned a number of senators held informal conference in Senator Alison's rooms, but they declared with one accord no definite conclusion had been reached as to a line of policy to be pursued with reference to Porto Rico. All admitted that the conference was devoted To an enOnt 10 secure ndTmOuy on that question, but said that no satisfactory con- clusion had been reached. The most defin- ite statement that could be obtained was that MT. Foraker had consented to attempt to amend the pending bin so as to make it conform, if possible, to the conflicting views of the various interests. This, it was intimated, was to be done by providing a movable scale of duties, but what articles, if any, were to be favored, no one would say. Some of the senators at the confer ence expressed the opinion that an agree menlt would be reached that would insure the passage of Porto Rican bill in some shape, but the most general opinion was that the present situation was described by the word chaotic"
 A majority of the republican senators pro- fess to know nothing of the territorial proposition and Senator Foraker said when he left the capitol tonight that he thought the immediate occasion for such a measure had passed and that nothing in that line would be attempted for several days at any rate ...
