The Daily Chronicle" comments upon the state
ment Of its Washington correspondent that the
United States Government will not consider it
self at war with China, and says
If the Americans are resolved to accent an
apology and indemnity for Mr. Conger's murder
they may well take these consultations with
out moving another man or gun.
Emperor William scarcely take the Wash
ington view, for he has pledged himself to retri-
button. and he is a man of his word.

other papers applaud Lord Salsbury's policy of
employing japan the only policy that might
have saved the foreigners. The Daily Tele-
graph declares that a terrible responsibility
rests upon those who delayed japanese action

correspondent, dated June 10 which contains an
assertion, made on seemingly good authority
that the Empress Dowager has decreed that
every foreigner was TO be massac cred that night

spondent, dated June IA. when the Boxers had
made two attempts TO rush the foreign quarter
slr Halliday Mccartney. secretary to the Chit

terrible reports were without foundation. He
expressed the opinion that some definite infor-
nation ought to be obtained almost immedi-
ately.
Canton dispatches say that IL Hung Chang
had planned to start for the north on July 1s
but he is much weakened by catarrh of the
stomach. He ordered the leader of the Black
Flag to march with fifty thousand men over
