London, June 16. l a. m.-The Chinese situa-
ion has not improved during the last twenty
,our hours Admiral Seymour, with twenty
three hundred marines, is not more than three
ffths of the distance between Tien-Tsin and
Pekfng and the Boxers are destroying the rail-
way in front Of his force and burning bridges
behind it. The excitement at Shanghai and
Tien-Tsin is increasing, and it is rumored that
the relief column is itself in need of rescue.
Admiral Seymour IS a cool, intrepid officer Of
excellent judgment and he can be depended
upon TO conduct the force TO Peking If supplies
hold out The foreign Admirals may have mis-
calculated the strength Of the Boxers, and il
may be necessary to send a Russian military
force TO support the marines. The Russian re

shore, with guns and horses, and this can be
increased by four thousand men from Port Ar

Of seeing deep intrigue in everything Rus

and the marines isolated in order TO provide the
garrison at Port Arthur with a pretext for
sending an army to Peking. In this Chinese
affair It is difficult enough to find out what is
on the carpet without trying to look under it,

London June 16 a. m-The news from
China to-day is more alarming than ever. THE
Express correspondent at Shanghai says that
the foreign Ministers are virtually prisoners in
Peking. and their position. should the Chinese
troops attack the Legation guards in force, is
homeless. a hundred thousand Chinese soldiers
are massed outside the capital prepared TO
sist the advance of the relief column, which,
however, according to the latest reports. is
still at Lang-Fang. All official contradictions
Notwithstanding, The Express correspondent
maintains that Russia is siding with the En-
press. Confirmation is lent to this statement by
the fact that a Russian force. with six siege
guns has arrived outside Peking and is acting
independently of the other Powers, though it is
believed that France IS cooperating with it.
The only telegraph wire now working from
Pelzing is the Russian line. and on this line
English messages are rigidly refused.

We hesitate to say anything concerning
Mrs. Mary Baker G.. Eddy, for we have
learned from experience that a seemingly
most innocent allusion to her is liable to
produce tremendous commotion. We
shall venture, however, somewhat timidly,
TO say that there appears to be strong
proof that when her disciples met at
Pleasant View, n. H., where she resides,
to look upon her face, they were deprived
of that sweet pleasure by refusal on her
part TO be seen. The reason she would
not be seen she explained in letter in
which she said:
While l deeply appreciate their loving
thoughts and desire to see mother, yet, in
order not TO hinder my work for God and
our cause, my gates are now closed to
visitors, except by previous appointment.
The reading room in cur hall is open to
ali.
