cRRIsrENpoM IS HELPLESS.
Great Powers Acknowledge Their Inability
to Prevent Enactment In CHINA of the
Greatest Tragedy or Modern Times.

London, July 6.-Europe confesses
itself helpless in the face of the Chi
nese situation, and accepts as newt
able the most infamous tragedy of
modern times. Hundreds of men,
women and children who are at the
mercy OF the blood-thirsty mob in
Pekin are to be left to their fate be-
cause the Christian nations do not
know how to rescue them. The bit
ter confession of impotence which
comes from the commanders of such
foreign forces as are now at Taku
does not call for any rebuke from
the rulers of Europe, because the wit
of man finds no escape from the aw-
full dilemma. The people and govern
ments have been hoping against hope
for the past few days. 1t was thought
that some threat, some argument,
some cajolery would be found which
would stay the hand of the barbar-
ians should the British foreign office
cling to the idea that something
might be accomplished through Lii
Hung Chang, scheming cOrruptiOnist
though he is. This idea, it is under
stood, has been abandoned. Nothing
remains save the poor consolation of

Is the Empress Demented?
Shanghai, China, July 6.-Emperor
Kwang Su committed suicide by TAX
ing opium under compulsion of Prince
Tuan, June 10. The empress dowager
also took poison, but is still alive,
though reported to be insane from
the effects Of the drug. The forego-
ing has been officially reported to the
German consular staff. The signifi-
canoe of this is that the death of the
emperor and the putting out of the
way of the empress leaves Prince
Tuan in complete control. He is the
head of the anti-foreign element and
has been ordering the massacres.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.
Boxers Guilty of Revolving Crimes
Against Their Foreign Prisoners.
Tales of Rapine, Fire and Blood Come
from Che Foo -AdmiraIS Abandon Hope
OF Reaching FeKin with Their
Present Force


London, July 5.-The commanders
of the allies in Tien Tsin inform the
correspondents that it would be sui
eide to attempt to reach Pekin with
the troops now available, in the face
of the colossal force of imperial troops
and Boxers occupying the country be-
tween Tien Tsin and Pekin. So far
from taking the offensive, the 1900
international troops at Tien Tsin and
the 5000 others at Taku and interme-
date points can barely keep up COM
munications, fighting necessarily with
overwhelming numbers, using far
more numerous artilleries than the al
lies.
Other advices received by way of
Shanghai aver that the Chinese losses
around Tien Tsin are between 1000
and 5000, according to Official esti-
mates. The correspondent of the Ex-
press at Che Foo, te1egraphing
Wednesday, says Admiral Seymour
was wounded while sitting in a house
at Tien Tsin by Chinese sharpshoot-
ers
Official news received at Che Foo
shows that the Chinese have been
guilty of horrible cruelty toward the
wounded and captured, subjecting
them to what is known as ling che, or
theslicing process. Under this hideous
rite the bodies of the fallen have
been mutilated. The Russians are re-
taliating by the wholesale shooting of
natives. Tien Tsin, according to the
Express correspondent, shows no
signs of drifting into barbarism and
savagery.
Revolving stories are told of bar
barities practiced upon Japanese and
European prisoners captured on the
way to Pel<in, though it was not
known before that Admiral Seymour
lost any prisoners. The Chinese
troops marching toward Tien Tsin,
the Chinese say, left behind them
trails of rapine, fire and blood. Ma
tive women were ravished and chill
dren were cut in two.
European and American residents in
Shanghai are quite in a panic over
what is viewed as the inadequate mil
itary preparation of the powers. A
dispatch to the Express from Shang-
hal says that, according to the best
military estimates, 100000 men will be
necessary to subjugate northern
China, and even then it will take two
or three years. The forces of the Chi
nese empire have gathered such mo-
ton that even Japan's full strength,
launched now, viii be unequal to the
task of restoring order.

seemed anxious to meet the city's
distinguished guest and grasp his

army men and rough riders were his
constant attendants throughout the
day. The weather was extremely hot
and dry.
The reunion was fairly inaugu-
rated by the civic and military parade
in which Gov. Roosevelt was given
ress through the streets the rough
riders and their famous commander
were greeted with extraordinary
demonstrations of enthusiasm from
the throngs which lined the streets.
