No News From, Conger.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Nothing has
come to the State Department from
United States Minister ConGer at Pc
king since Tuesday evening, and the Of
ffcials have settled to the belief that not
until the foreign relief column reaches
the Chinese capital win Mr. Conger be
able to resume the of the cable.
1t is oninous that nothing has been
heard from the United States Consul at
Chin Kiang since his first appeal for the
sending of a Warship to that point, and
it may be that he, too, has been isolated.
The Consul at Cheefoo is in better po-
sition, for cablegram received at the
navy yard today announces the arrival
of the gunboat Yorktown at that port.
The vessel probably will lie at Chefoo
awaiting orders. She is within a days
sail of Taku, and can be summoned by
Admiral Kempff if he needs reinforce
ments at short notice. 1t is probable,
however, that the Yorktown will serve a
better purpose by remaining in the vicin-
ity of Chefoo, as the Boxers are reported
to be active in that section of Shantung.

Theatricals generally had a boom
Saturday night. There was a crowd
at both houses, opera drawing its fol-
lowing as well~as drama. Owing to the
success with which the ''Girl from
Paris" has met the company have de-
cided to keep on the same piece until
Thursday evening making some chan
ges in the program. The Girl from
Paris met with considerable favor on
Saturday night, the comedy seeming to
catch the house

Boxers at Tien-tsin.

WASHINGTON, June 15-That the
Chinese crisis is by no means past but,
on the contrary, is rather more acute, is
evidenced by the cablegram received by
the State Department this morning from
the United States Consul at Tien-tsn,
Mr.. Ragsdale. He says that mobs are
in control of the native city of Tien-tsin
and that the authorities do not seem to
be able to do anything with them. He
adds that the foreigners in Tien-tsin are
still safe.
The surprising feature of this telegram
is the announcement that the Boxers
are operating freely under the very guns
of the men-of-war, for it is understood
that several Russian gunboats are lying
off Tien-tsin, which is also the depot OF
the relief column. Fortunately the Nash
vile and the Monocacy are due at Taku,
and one or both of these vessels will soon
be able to command the situation at
Tien-tSin.

Foreign Reenforcements.

TIEN-TSIN, June 14.-The Russians
have landed four eight-centimeter guns.
These, with the LOO men, will start on
the march for Picking tomorrow. A train
filled with searchlights patrols the line
between Tien-tsin and Taku. The opin-
ion is growing that the imperial troops
will attack the international column near
the capital, probably at Fengtai. Gener-
al Tung Flu Slang is in front and General
Mich in the rear of the guards. Ten
thousand foreign drilled troops are still
at Shanghai.

Berlin Alarmed.

BERLIN, June 15.-The German For
eign Office has not yet received expected
dispatches from China, and their nom
appearance is interpreted to mean the
existence Of alarming conditions Doubts
are expressed, however, as to the accur-
acy of the latest alleged news from Pc
king because of the fact that telegraph
ic communication with the Chinese CAPT
tai has not been re-established.
The correspondent today obtaine,E from
a leading Foreign Office official the fol-
lowing reliable statement as to the Ger
man forces in China. The official said
Our forces include three large cruisers,
the Hansa. Hertha and Kaiserin Angus
ia, the small cruisers Gefion and Irene
and the gunboats Hits and Jaguar, with
their crews, aggregating 2,2N men. Then
there are our forces at Kiaochau, $500.
These 5,472 are all trained men, of whom
5000 may be spared if required for ac-
ton ashore"
The papers view the situation gloom
lily, pointing out particularly the want OF
harmony among the international troops.
The Voss:sche Zeitung says: 1.-The hope
Of harmonious procedure is fast vanish.
ing as the separate ambitions appear on
the surface. Probably it will need few
severe reverses before the powers are
cemented for the purpose of joint ac-
ton"
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung am otmer
papers advocate Germany's cooperation
with Russia and France in China. The
Lokal Anzeiger prints a special dispatch
from ST. Petersburg saying that an i'm
portant Russian dignitary will soor
leave for Berlin to effect an understand
ing with Germany for a joint solution
with France of the present troubles.

Peking Situation Critical.

WASHINGTON, June 15-The Cabinet
meeting today lasted until after
o'clock. Much of the time was devoted
to the discussion of the Chinese situa-
ton, which is regarded as critical. The
severance of communication with Pc
king and the failure to hear from Minis
ter Conger for sixty hours naturally Gre
ate considerable anxiety, and the com
plications in connection with possible fu-
ture contingencies were talked over. but
nothing further will be done until later
advices are received. No effort will be
spared however, should the occasion
arise, to protect the lives and property
of American citizens. Secretary Long
said there were still 500 marines at Ca
vite who were available in case of ne
ceSSity.

Hongkong correspondent of the Times,
under yesterdays date, says: The south
ern provinces of China are still quiet,
although there was a slight disturbance
recently against the Catholics in the
village of Tai-Lek, near Fat-Shan. There
are some misgivings at the idea that the
military authorities are about to cause a

For longtime the christian churches
OF the superior race have been greatly
annoyed and perplexed over the ques.
ton what shall we do With the Ne
grc?' and at eaca recurring conference,
synod, session or council of these va
r1ous christian denominations, the ques.
tion has grown larger and hence more
troublesome to handle This ia due
Very greatly TO the fact that the Negro
insists on getting religion And every
year large numbers of them by reason
or their conversion TO the christian
faith, CLAIM fellowship with their white
brethren and expect to be treated by
them as equals. Herein is the kernel of
the great problem and it is not ficult
for any one TO see, for it is quite q
large ke.nel.
These Negroes not only absorb our
religion, but they banker after po-
sitions in our various churches.
Only short time ago one of these
''chTistian NegI oes," a man of quite
considerable ability, scholar of no
mean preteL sions and gentleman of
culture and refinement had the te-
merity to aspire to the Bishopric, and
was quite g formidable candidate. Many
OF our good christian brethren IN the
voted for him on the firss
ballot by way of c0mplimenting him,
and he came DANGEROUSLY near being
elected as be received nearly 800 votes
When this was dIscOvertd the brethren
at once decided to reduce his vote Oh
each succeeding ballot, with the Te-
suit that when the bslloting was over
he was LOt visible in The count. The
eli ctiOn OF that Negro would have dis
rupted the Christian Church and es
tablished a pre- cedent which would
have retarded the progress of our Holy
religion fifty years to come.
The brethren who were responsible
for encouraging the ambition OF this
Negro were rOundly censured in caucus
for their action in ting for him.
1t was maintained that while he pos.
slbly possessed all the requirements
the moral character and mental equip
ment needed in Bi= hop, the fact re.
manned that he is Negro, and that by
virtue Of his election TO the Bishopric
he would necessarily have the unques'
toned right to preside over white con-
ferences IN Baltimore and other
southern cities and he would be thrown
in social contact with our women and
ehildIen in their homes
