SITUATION IN CHIN A
Government Troops Have Occupied All
 Disturbed Localities

Pekin, May 30.-The situation is somewhat better, the Chinese troops having occupied all disturbed localities. The party rescued at Chang Sin Tien defended themselves from house and fired on the boxers, kill ing several. When the troops of the reliev- ing party arrived the house was abandoned and the soldiers footed and burned it. Two men and one woman are unaccounted for. It is feared they are in the hands of the ''boxers."
 The gravest anxiety is felt as to the be- havior of the Chinese troops, most of whom sympathize with the patriotic movement to drive out the foreigners who are regarded as gradually absorbing China.
 The Chinese authorities attempted to throw obstacles in the way of bringing the foreign guards to Pekin. The ministers maintained a firm attitude and today they were informed by the tsung Ii yamen that 1t would be impossible to bring up the guards until the tsung Ii yamen had com municated with the vieeroy o. Prehili. As tins was regarded as an OBVIOUS suDterruge in the interest of delay the ministers rep resentative sa4a that if proper facilities warships at Taku would land a sufficient force to come to Pekin without the consent of the Chinese government, and they called upon the tsun Ii yamen to give a definite answer at or before 6 a. m. tomorrow CThursday). This is expected to produce the desired effect.

London, May 91-(2 a. m.)-The Daily Mail publishes the following dispatch from the Earl of Rossyn who was prisoner at Pretoria but who, as civilian, appears to have been released:
 Pretoria, May S0.-Q1:40 a. m.)-Pretoria will be occupied in about two hours with out resistance. The president has gone to Watervalboven Burgomaster de Souza is authorized to receive the British. He, with an influential committee of citizens, in- cluding Chief Justice Gregorowski, has been appointed to preserve life and prop erty during the interregnum
 Everything is quiet, but crowds are waiting expectantly in Church square for the arrival of the British.
 Fearing a possible disturbance and bloodshed among the prisoners of war at Waterval. United States Consul Hay and Leigh Wood insisted upon twenty officers being liberated on parole to go to the men. Their action cannot be too highly praised

sky who was shot in the legs by police man.
 Chalupsky and his wife were standing at the corner of Twelfth and Emmett streets during the passage of small sized dem- onstration nearby and Policeman Himeles told them to move on. Chalupsky thought he had a right to remain if he pleased, and so informed the officer. A second or der was given and when Chalupsky re- fused the officer used his baton. Chalup- sky and his wife then assailed the officer with shower of bricks and the policeman drew his revolver and fired twice at Chalupsky, wounding him in each leg.
 Public interest in the strike veered to- day to the special meeting of the police board, called for the purpose of devising heroic measures to bring order out of the strained condition of affairs
 The board met during the afternoon and decided to call upon Sheriff Pohlmann to summon a posse comitatus to assist in quelling the disturbances incident to the street car strike, having failed in its ef- forts to secure 2,500 extra policemen to pre- serve law and order. The action of the board seems to be precipitated by the four riots in the southern part of the city yesterday, during the progress of which eleven per sons received bullet wounds. Sheriff Pahl- mann stated that he had anticipated such a call and had prepared a list of six hun dred names, including many of the lead ing citizens of St. Louis, on whom he will call to serve as deputies. The sheriff promised to secure one thousand men by Friday morning, serving processes upon the best citizens of St. Louis.

TURKISH ADMIRAL
Says U. S. Has Fine Facilities for Build
 ing War Vessels

Washington, May 30.-Ahemed Pasha, the Turkish vice admiral now in this country, has returned to Washington from a visit to Cramps ship yards at Philadelphia. The admrral has been making flying visits since his arrival at New York to the various naval equipment works in this part of the country. He expresses Himself as greatly impressed by the facilities in this country for building and fitting out war vessels, and says in this respect the United States has no superior in the world, if indeed, it has an equal. The end of Ahmed Pasha's stay in this country is probably near at hand.
 although no order for cruiser to be constructed in this country for the Turk ish government actually has been issued it is very probable that one will be in a short time.
 The admiral reiterated his former state ment that there is absolutely no diplomatic significance in his mission to the United States.

 to Glorious Deeds.
4 DAY OF GLORIOUS MEANING

Hagerstown, Md, May 30.-On Antietam battlefield, where men sought each other s lives on a certain glorious day in '62, the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, met today in good fellow ship and brotherhood. As friends who have forgotten and forgiven, as citizens of one great nation, and followers of one flag, they shook hands and forged a new link in the great chain which binds the north and the south. Men were there who fought shoulder to shoulder and bayonet to bayonet comrades and ancient enemies Burnsides men and Longstreets veterans from Dixie, and old soldiers from the Maryland line
 It was day of glorious meaning, for an expression of the final and certain recon ciliation of the two peoples whose stand ards have been in enmity-includes not a little of sublimity
 The scene on Antietam battlefield as the monument of the blue and the gray was formally handed over by the representa- tive of the people of Maryland to the rep resentative of the entire people of the United States was one which should and will become historic. It marked an epoch in the lives of the American republic.
