Unlike Miss Dodge, Miss Sailor sought
the stage. believing she was well fitted
for it. She halls from the hustling little
village in Pennsylvania bearing the I'M
euphonious name of Pottsville. While
vastly Handicapped by contrast with Toby
Claude, Miss Sailor is infinitely superior
to Phyllis Rankin as Fiji. She has such
a dainty personality and voice of much
power, considerable range, and great
sweetness that she will be farther up the
theatrical ladder some day.

The Tuesday criticism in The Times
contained a reference to the innovation at
Chase's New Grand that of a perform
ance without an intermission, and the
article stated further, that it was OF
doubtful popularity.
With more space at command. it is
easily possible to array arguments against
the change. Mr.. Chase has provided a
magnificent entrance, which, however. is
first seen only as the public hasten
through the theatre to the auditorium.
Moreover, there is reading room for
ladies in the west lobby, which has been
extensively fitted up. and contains desks
and tables loaded with writing material,
magazines, and periodicals. AS the con-
ditions now stand. no opportunity is af-

many armed citizens searching for the
murderer. .sNA
The shooting created tremendous
sensation and 10000 people congregated
in the vicinity.

New YORK, July 25. A dispatch to
The World from Shanghai says:
Ii Hung Chang, who arrived here
Saturday on his way to Pekin, received
The World S correspondent and talked
of the situation. He said to me:
..The members. Of the legation are
still alive, but an advance of the allied
troops upon Pekin from Tien Tsin
would probably be the death herald Of
every white man in Pekin. Z
Touching on the causes Of the trouble
in China, Ii Hung Chang said:
ssThe causes of the present situation
were lack Of backbone and wrong
policy on the part Of the Chinese gov
ernment, while the drastic measures OF
the foreign powers aggravated the sit

LONDON, July 25.-The foreign office

ceived letter from Sir Claude Mac.
donald, the British minister at Pekin,
dated July 4, appealing for relief.
There were enough provisions at the
legation to last fortnight, the letter
said, but the garrison was unequal to
the task of holding out against a deter.
mined attack for many days There
had been a. deaths and about double
that number wounded.

does not affect the main question OF

ADMIRAL sEYMoUR's REPORT.

No Mention in It of Killing Wounded to
Save Them From Chinese.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 70. There is
nothing in the report of Admiral Sey-
mour, which reached here by the
steamer American Maru, to prove the
sensational story that was circulated
the earlier part of this month to the
effect that Admiral Seymour, who COM
manded the Pekin relief expedition,
killed his wounded to save them from
the Chinese.
The admiral's report, which is an
elaboration Of the cablegram published
on June 30, makes not the .slghtess
mention Of the affair, but, on the con-
trary, goes into particulars Of the
bravery Of the allies in guarding the
wounded, who were placed in fatboats
and towed down the river by details OF
soldiers and marines, while the main
body Of tho troops fought the Chinese
off with rifles and Maxims.

DISPATCH FROM SHENG.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Chinese
minister has received dispatch from
Sheng, the director of railroads and
telegraphs at Shanghai, stating that
the foreign ministers are to be sent
from Pekin to Tien Tsin under escort;
also that the imperial government has
not only been protecting them, but has
supplied them with food. >1.
The Sheng telegram was made public
at the state department. in. the follow.
ing statement:
Minister WI visited the department
during the morning and handed to the
acting secretary Of state the. text of the
following message, explaining that it
was cablegram from Director General

mccuiiis.t1on is considered clever pro-
duction. He has succeeded in asking
for conditions precedent to mediation
quite as valuable as those laid down in
Europe, yet he has SO tempered his re-
quirments as to make them unexcep-
ttionable to the Chinese government
At the same time there is nothing in
the note to which the European chan
celleries can object, openly at least.
The president expressly states that his
mediation is subject to the approval Of
the powers; he will not attempt to
force it upon Europe. And the Chinese
| government must produce the ministers
in safety.
Minister WI declares that his gov
ernment will not meet that obligation,
in proof of which he produced Sheng's
telegram, in which he expressed i'm
plicit confidence. Certainly, if the last
promise is baseless, the Chinese govern
ment is party to one of the most bare
faced deceptions practiced upon an

majority in November. In speaking of
