Footsore and weary, Mrs. Elizabeth

years old, arrived at Poplar Bluff, Mo-,
having walked from Grand Rapids, 100
miles Three months ago Mrs. Burns
husband died in the Michigan town, leaV-
ing her and the children in destitute cir
cumstances. Her father, Eli Gray, who
was living in Odin, ILL.,, wrote to her to
come there, and not having the money to
pay car fare, she gathered up few ar
ticles Of clothing, bedding and cooking
utensils and placing these and the three
youngest children in a pushcart, the other
three children accompanying on foot,
started ON her long journey. When she
finally reached Odin she learned that her
father had sold out and removed to south7
east Missouri, locating in the vicinity of
Poplar Bluff. The woman, undaunted by
the hardships experienced in her already
long walk, gathered her family and small
possessions and resumed her journey. The
other morning she reached her destina1
ton, only to meet another disappoint-
ment, as her father cannot be found. The
woman's health is broken and the chill
dren are sick. The authorities are car

TAKU TO PEKIN.

mined. 1t appears to be accepted that
some Of the powers will keep their mills
tary forces in China, at least until all
questions growing out of the crisis are
settled. This is expected to involve ques-
tons, not only of money indemnity, but
Of territorial extension on the part of
some of the European parties to the con-
troversy. 1t is not believed that the
United States will be a party to
any such territorial controversy, as
the declaration Of Secretary Hay,
made at the beginning Of the trou-
bic, forecasted the purpose of this Gov
eminent to seek to preserve Chinese ter
ritorial and administrative entity
There have been many changes in the
situation since that declaration was
made, and yet it seems to clearly indicate
that if territorial extension is one of the
sequels to the crisis, the United States
will not be party to it. Chinese officials
are apprehensive that long period of
diplomatic exchange may follow the
crisis, covering six months or a year. dur
ing which Germany, France and some Of
the other powers will keep armies on
Chinese soil to re-enforce extreme de-
mands of money and territorial indem-
nifty. With China's present impotent con-
dition there appears to be no issue out OF
this long struggle but her eventually

Americans, under their general, march
ed into the city.
The collapse Of Chinese resistance is
explained in dispatches from Shanghai
as being due to the failure of the Chinese
to flood the country below Tung-Chow.
The earthworks connected with the dam
at the Pei-Ho were unfinished, and the
canal at Tung-C Chow was full Of water,
facilitating boat transports when the al
lies arrived there. Signals between the
allies and the legationers holding part Of
the wall at Pekin were exchanged during
the morning of Aug. Is. It was reported
that Yuan-ShiK troops had gone to
Shen-Si to protect the empress, who, ac-
cording to reports, with Tuan, the impe-
rial household and the bulk Of the army
and Boxers, left Pekin Aug. for Hsiau-
Flu.
A dispatch received from the German
consul at Shanghai was given out by the
Berlin foreign Office. 1t stated that the
allies entered Pekin without fighting the
legations were relieved and the foreigners
liberated.
With the legationers relieved, the grav-
est crisis is removed. But there remains
many momentous questions to be deter

Out Of the gloom Of the recent acute
crisis came the cheering information
from many sources Friday, unofficial, but
SO circumstantial and positive as to be
generally credited in official quarters,
that the allied armies had reached Pekin
and that the legationers had been reliey-

dispatches from London, Shanghai and
Berlin, and they were eagerly scanned by
the officials in Washington. The dispatch
from Berlin conveying the communica-
ton from the German consul at Shanghai
that the allies had entered Pekin and
liberated all the foreigners was credited
in official circles. The announcement
was joyfully received in Washington.
President Mckinley was shown the dis

was generally expressed that the crisis
in China is now over.
