offer of the Chinese government to con-
duct them under escort The message
proceeded to say that the tsung Ii yamen
declined to be responsible for any casual
ties which might follow these delays, and
insisted that the European governments
order their representatives to leave Pekfn
To this communication NJ. Delcasse, min
lister of foreign affairs, sent the following
reply:
mo order to depart from Pekin will be
given our minister SO long as the route is
unsafe. If a casualty occurs the RESPONSE
bility will be entirely with the Chinese gov
eminent. Its strict duty is to protect for
eign ministers even more than its own.
"If it be true that the Chinese govern
ment has great difficulty in defending them
and in defending itself against rebels. it
should order its troops to stand aside be-
fore the allied forces. This would render
free the road from Tien Tsin to the capital
and would accomplish the work of protec-
ton which is incumbered.
THE Chinese government should under
stand that the only means of proving the
sincerity of its designs and of limiting its
responsibilities is cessation in the placing
of obstacles in the way of such
rangement."

day next to Miss Lillian CostIow. daughtar
OF Patrick costlow, an engineer on the
Iehnsyivania lines He had been dis
charged from the employ Of the Adams
Express Company about three months ago
and had not since been able to secure en-
ployment He confessed that the motive of
the robbery was to secure money, of which
ne felt in great need on account of his an
preaching marriage. The money recovered
