to the state department for protcction!!!l The
reply was made that we were willing to cease
hring when the Chinese ceased, out cou,o not
accept the invitation Of the yamen (state de-
parment). The next day came another gracious
message, accompanied by cipher telegram from
Tho state dcn,rtment at Washington. "Communi.
cate T,dnue neorern IN questioning as to the
source Of this telegram (it had no signature or
date), copy OF the telegram from WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister In Washington, was
sent, and the transmission Of Minister Conger's
reply was promised. The next day firing practi-
cally ceased, and there has been but little Of 1t
since. There also came, in the name OF the
emperor, q large number Of watermelons,
sauashes, egg plants and cucumbers! I am very
sorry that the ministers accepted the present,
for It will make the final punishment Of the Chi
nese less dgnifed To have men try to kill you,
and then, willie still keeping you besicged. to
send in watermelons and squashes, is about to
lidicrOus a performance as l have heard OF.

Tsin have been taken, and the foreign troops are
on their way to Pekin. The state department
first tried to coax the ministers to place where
they could be held as hostages. Now 1t is try.
ing to placate them with presents, so as to keep
the foreign troops from entering Pekin. More
recently they have been again urging the minis.
tiers to 60 to Ticn Tsin, and again today (the
27th) they have sent in melons and eggs and
flour and rice. "For ways that dark and
tracks that are vain," there is no doubt about
the pre.emnencc of the Chinese.
