London. June 50. l a. un.-The game Of blind
mans buff goes on n China. and the British
Government knows little about II. The War Of
fee received yesterday the announcement from
Tien-Tsin that Admiral Seymour had been re-
lieved but il was thirty-six hours after other
Governments had had the news. There were
eight words in the message, but not one about the
legations concerning whose fate there has been
an inextricable maze Of contradictions during
the last fortnight. London has received from
the Navy Department at Washington definite
statement that the Ministers are not with sey-
uaour and that nothing is known about them.
The Government here has been badly served by
its Official agents since the outbreak Of Chinese
complications The morning journals have also
been behindhand- Mr.. Pearson's haIfpenny FIX
press has displayed more energy than any
other morning paper and Mr. Harmsworths
Mail" has kept fairly abreast Of il, but The
Daily NevvE' has been the only high class jour
nal which has attempted 10 cover the ground
The mystery respecting the legations re-
maiued inscrutable at midnight The French
Government has been assured by Il Hung
Chang that the Ministers are twelve miles from
T5en-Tsin. and there IS Job-lot Of dispatches
based upon Chinese authority 70 the effect that
they are safe in Peking; that they are on their
way 70 the coast: that they are negotiating
peace. and that the Imperial Government is
protecting them adequately. I cannot find any
Member Of Parliament or public man who at
taches any Importance TO the farrago Of non
sense and contradictions coming from Chinese
sources. Wao makes any pretence 10 under
stand what is goirg on. There is a general
feeling that the Empress would not find II dif-
hcult set al doubts az rest and explain where
the Ministers are II she were acting in good
faith. AS this IS not done. and as the rumor
mongers with the Provincial Viceroys behind
them are allowed 10 give twenty different YER
sions OF tie situation az Pekdng. there is no
confidence either IN her good intentions or in the
ereoihility OF the news. The report that the
Imperial Palace had been attacked by a mob
and burned has not been confirmed.
The accounts os Admiral Seymour's opera
lions and the conduct OF the column which re-
lieved him are stu vague and confused. II is
probable, but by no means certain that the

NOT CONFIRMED IN WASHINGTON
But THE OREGON SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF CHE-FOO

Washington. June 29.-Up to midnight no
official news had been received in Washington
bearing on the report that the battleship Ore
gon had gone ashore near Che-Foo. Early
last week Admiral Remey was directed TO send
the vessel from Hong Kong to Taku. Captain
George F. F. Wilde is her commander. She left
Hong Kong last Saturday night. two days ahead
Of her expected departure, and had on board, in
addition TO her regular crew, 164 sailors and
marines brought 10 Hong Kong from Manila by
the Zahro- The distance she had TO travel was
about fifteen hundred miles, and the caIcula-
ton OF the naval officials here was that II the
vessel made record time she would be at Taku
in six days. To-day is the sixth the Oregon
has been on her voyage. so that in all proba-
bility she must be in the vicinity Of Che-Foo
If she maintained her reputation as a fast
battleship.

WHAT THE SENATOR SAYS.
Senator Forakers statement is as follows:

Senator Foraker's statement is as follows:
The subcommittee had at least three and
probably four meetings before It reported 10 the

meetings. and was not present when the report

however objected to any OF the specific planks

else question the proprtety OF incorporating
them or any OF them IN the platform.
There was cOnside derabIe discussion TO the
exact language that should he employed in the
money plank as q substitute for the word ''heX-

In view OF the position taken by Mr.. Quigg as

CANNOT EMPLOY VOLUNTEERS.

Washington June 29-The following state
rnent was published by the War Department to
night:
The War Department is in daily receipt OF
letters and kilograms from all sections Of the
country rendering the services Of individuals
and organizations in the event Of war between
TIE United States and China To all Of these
there can be but one reply. BY the act Of
March , 1899, the President was authorized 10
raise force Of not more than $4,000 volunteers,
which volunteer force shall continue in ser
vice only during the necessity therefor. and not
later than June 80. 1901" ard by The act of
April d 1895, the volunteer army Of the United
States can be maintained only during the exist
erce OF war, and shall be raised and organized
only after Congress has. or shall have. author
lied the President 10 raise such force or 10
call into the actual service Of the United States
the militia of the several States. ~.
II therefore rests with Congress and not with
the President to increase the volunteer force,
and while the War Department cannot be other
than gratEied at these prompt and spontaneous
evidences Of patriotism the part OF the
people, IL can only reply 10 each and every
such tender Of assistance that there is no au-
thority Of law for the acceptance of any volun-

that is, let them build comfortable
school buildings and reading rooms in

factory children may have the advan-
