Prince Taun was in complete control at
Pekin, was regarded as an exceedingly
grave development and as tending to fix
clearly the responsibility for the happen
ings of the past three weeks directly
upon the Pekin government. An ameli-
Grating condition is the refusal of the
great viceroys themselves of almost alb
solute power in their provinces, to be con-
trolled from Pekin in their attitude to-
ward foreigners.
A high official of the state department
said today that there is now nothing to
do but to follow out the course the state
department has already adopted, namely
to have the United States oonsuls put
themselves in communication with the
viceroys' provinces; treating the central
government at Pelzin as 1ncapAcitated for
administrative work and meanwhile
do all in their power to protect the for
eigners in their respective districts. The
signs Of amicable disposition on the part
of these yiceroys is probably the basis for
the hope that they can be induced at least
to stand neutral and keep their own
provinces IN order If it shall be necessary.
to direct hostilities energetically against
the Pekin government.
This course seems to be absolutely
necessary now, unless developments in
the immediate future demonstrate the
accuracy of Consul General Goodnow S
adviees relative to the status of affairs at
Pekin. There is authority for the state
ment that our government feels that what
must be done at once is to drive forward
a relief force to Pekin regardless of the
strength required.
So far it has not been regarded as
necessary to do more in the way of mill
tary preparations to this end than has
been done and consequently no further
reinforcements have been ordered to
Taku.

Shanghai Dispatch Gives Thenn Another
Day Of Safety.

Washington, July 1.-Today's advlces
to the state department. made up Of two
cablegrams from Consul General Good
now at Shanghai brought the foreign
ministers at Pekin along one day further
in safety, showing that they were still
alive with the probable exception Of the
German minister, who it seems likely
has been murdered Some encouragement
is drawn by the officials from the fact
that some days prior to the latest adj
vices that the other ministers were alive
on the latter date for officials believe that
the diplomatic corps at Pekin could not
have been preserved through the fury of
thefirs6 stages of the outbreak only to fall
victims to sober second thought. There
IS also, at least the indication, that the
Chinese government itself was protecting
them. On the other hand, the state

New York, July 1.-The losses sus-
tanned in the horrible confagration IN
Hoboken last night, are tonight conser-
vatively placed at nearly ten million
dollars; but the loss of life viii reach
probably as high as two hundred and
there are over three hundred men in the
hospitals in this city, Hoboken and Jer-
sey City badly b1rned. Up to II o'clock
tonight eighty-one bodies had been re-
covered. Eleven Of these were placed in a
row at the morgue in this city and num-
bered, this being the only means the au-
Jhorites have Of maintaining any sort of
identity over the corpses as they are so
badly charred and dismembered that
Identification viii be made only by trim
Iets or pieces Of clothing that were found
about the bodies.
The only way the steamship officials
have of approximating the loss of life is
comparing the list of those reported safe
with the list of employees on the steam
ship. Late tonight Gustav Schwab, the
general agent of the North German Lloyd
line gave out a list showing what men
on each vessel had been missing up to
that hour. On the Saale 255 men were
employed and only 1873 Of these had been
accounted for mp to eleven o clock, leav-
ing one hundred AMI eighteen men actu-
ally employed as officers, sailors, stew
ards, engineers, coal passers, oilers and
trimmers, to be accounted Efer. The
Bremen had 204 men on board, but only
127 of these have been found. The Main
had 1877 employed on her at the time and
Of these only rs have been reported safe.

GERMAN MINISTER KILLED

New York, July 1.-The fearful havoc
to life and property caused By the fire
which broke out at the docks of the
North German Lloyd company in Ho-
boken yesterday, cannot be approximated
with any. degree Of certainty. Conserva-
tive people who have had experience
along the docks in shipping interests are
of the opinion that over 200 lives were
lost.
One of the officers of the steamship Bre-
men said today that there were fully 200
visitors on board that vessel when the
fire touched there, the majority of them
being women. A boat was lowered from
the Bremen shortly after the alarm had
been given, but the craft capsized as it
touched the water, and all hands were
precipitated into the water and none Of
them was saved by those remaining on
the vessel.
This in itself would indicate that the
list of dead may be larger than it was
first thought to be.
The property loss can simply be ap-
proximated at this time. None Of the
officials around the docks could give
anything like a precise estimate Of their
losses and none was prepared to make a
statement on this point. A conservative
estimate made by a prominent fire un-
derwriter places the damage at less. than
$40, 100000
The three docks of the North German
Lloyd line are total losses, with all
their contents and they are still smould
ering with many streams from fire hose
playing continually on the debris.
The pier of the Thingvalla line is
totally wiped away, and an extension
which had just been built on the Ham
burg-American lines expanse of piers
was burned down to the pile tops
The warehouse Of Palmer Campbell
which were across the street from the
North German Lloyd docks, suffered
greatly, and a number of houses along
the street scorched badly.
The loss on the steamship properties
and to other companies estimated to-
night, approximately is as follows:
The steamship Main OF the North Ger
man Llody line, cost 81, 800, GOO outside Of

The above dsspateh stasirg q hat Fire
man Flaherty is among the wounded men
in the McCalla relief expedition to Tien
Tsin has caused no little alarm among
the relatives and friends Of Harvey Flah-
erty. The latter enlisted on the U. S.
S. Wasbash at Charlestown Navy Yard
as a coal passer before the outbreak of the
Spanish h-Amerioan war. He served
thr ough the war without accident and
was transferred to the u. S. S. Newark
which is Admiral Kempff S flagship The
Newark went to the Asiatic station via
Cape Horn, San Francisco, Hawaiian
islands, Philippines, Japan and then to
Taku. The despatch does not give the
first name of the wounded fireman and
of course it may be someone besides
Harvey Flaherty but as he is on the
Newark and is fireman it is believed
that he is the man who was injured.
His brother, Mr.. Thomas A. Flaherty,
said last night that he felt convinced that
it was his brother who was wounded.
