watch him. Every time the car passed
a policeman it seemed to the detec

and that he trembled more violently.
After awhile, says the New Yorl
Times, he turned up the collar of hi

Tree That ResIsts Fire.

In the savannas of South America
there grows a tree called by the natives
shaparro, which not only is not injured
but actually benefited by prairie fires.
The thick bark resists the action of the
flames, and the hard seeds are supplied
with kind of wings owing to which
they are scattered broadcast by the
strong wind which accompanies fire.

SAFETY REPORT DISCREDlTED
Later Reports Throw Doubt on Consul
Warren'S Information From Pekin

London, July 9.-The foreign con-
suls at Shanghai met on July z and
officially announced that the legations
at Pekin were safe on July 4. The
foregoing statement, read with Consul
Warrens dispatch to the foreign Of
flee on Saturday, makes it possible tc
believe that the legations will hold out
for a number of days yet. Having
fought to a standstill the first out
bursts of fanatical fury, il is believ-
able that something may intervene to
save them. The news, after the sin
lister rumors Of the last ten days. is
enough upon which to build up hopes
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Express, telegraphing on Sunday, at
$50 p. m. however, throws doubt upon
Consul Warren's information. He
says:
'Iaotai Sheng now admits that there
was an error in his communication to
Gen. Warren. The date of the cour-
ier's arrival at Chinen En- was July 3.
which does not apply to his departure
from Pekin. The journey from Pekin
to Chinen Flu occupies five days. The
courier, therefore. could not have left
Pekin later than June 2S. The date Of
the massacre there, as given by Chi
nese reports, was June 30 or July ]. q"
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A
Chinese force numbering from $4,000
TO 100000 men. as estimated by incon-
elusive reconnOissances, floods the
country round about Tien Tsin, COM
munication between which place and
Taku is apparently possible by river
only.
A Crefoo dispatch SAYS the Russians
have landed 5000 men at Taku and the
Japanese have discharged several
transports The Japanese pushed on
Co Tien Isin, leading in the subsequent
assault upon the native river, in which
their commander was killed. Ten more
transports are engaged at Japanese
ports. With the 10000 British India
troops afioat and fresh Japanese con-
tingents it is quite probable that the
allies will soon have $4,000 men ashore.
The disorders in the provinces ap-
pear to be increasing in violence. A
Chinese army is within 40 miles of
New Chwang. and the foreigners are
preparing to abandon their homes.

tinues optimistic in spite of the alarm
ing statements which have appeared.
Such recent communications as he has
had with the officials of the southern
provinces leads him to believe that up
to a very recent date the legationers
were still safe.
Considerable Importance is attached
here to the telegraphic announcement
that Prince Ching is leading a counter
revolution against the rebels in Pelkin.
The prince is the head of the tsung-
li-yamen, the Chinese foreign office.
and the commander of a garrisoned
force in the capital. His influence is
said to be considerable, and the fact.
if the report be confirmed, that he has
espoused the cause Of the government
OF the empress and that the loyal
troops are with him, it is said may
prevent further murder and pillage by
the rebels and in this indirect man
ner be the means Of aiding the for

Allies Soon Will Have at Least

PROVINCIAL DISORDERS GROW
European Nations Failed TO Heed
Warnings Sent Out Three Weeks
Before Outbreak

Washington, July 9-The last China
brought the report of Minister Conger,
perhaps the last that will ever come
to hand. This bears date of Pekin,
May 21. It is of the utmost import
ance, disclosing, as it does, a full COM
prehension on the part of the foreign
ministers in Pekin of the character and
extent Of the Boxer uprising, even
through Mr.. Conger himself, by dis
position optimistic, found some reason
TO hope that the worst was over at
that date. What Mr.. Conger has to
say as to the attitude of the Chinese
government toward the Boxer move
ment, as revealed in the formal inter-
change that took place between him
self and the tsungli-yamen is not only
of peculiar interest now, but probably
will have a strong bearing on the final
reckoning that must be had between
the civilized nations and the Chinese.
Mr.. Conger makes it very clear,
through the publication of the French
priests letter. that at least one, and
probably all of the European nations
having interests in northern China
were acquainted with the dangers OF
the situation at least two or three
weeks before the actual outbreak in
Pekin.
The letter to Secretary Hay Of May
21 is as follows:
In response to the request OF the
French minister the dean called a
meeting of the diplomatic corps yes
