GRAVE FEARS FOR
THE MINISTER'S

Washington, Aug. S.-Gravest appre-
tensions are felt here in official circles
for the safety of the imprisoned min
listers in Pekin. The alleged statement
of Ii Hung Chang that it is absolutely
impossible for the allies to enter Pekin
TO escort tire ministers to Tien Tsin
adds greatly 70 the strain of the situa-
ton. 1t clearly implies the purpose of
the Chinese government to resist the
advance of the allies.
So far as known, there is no present
purpose of calling a halt in the allied
movement against PeiIin. II is ac-
knOwledged that the relief column is
not strong enough TO maintain war
against the Chinese kingdom for any
great length of time. but heavy REIN

now at Shanghai Aug. l, for submission
TO Ii Hung Chang. The authorities
consider that the opening of communi-
cation with Minister Conger, therefore,
only partially complies with the presi-
dents demands. With the legationers
still under fire. the Chinese government
cannot be said to have removed all
dangers to their lives and liberty" and.
moreover. so far as known here, the
imperial authorities of China have
made no efforts to communicate and
cooperate with the relief expedition.
The new demand upon the Chinese gov
eminent is for sGuare-toed compliance
with these conditions.
There is hope, growing out of the fact
that the Chimes government has yield
ed partially, that when confronted
with the firm position taken by the
United States, il will be sufficiently i'm
pressed to make complete acquiescence.
This governments determinat ton. it is
hoped. will show the Chinese govern
ment that the United States is not TO be
triied with, and viii bring the shift
ing, evaSive authorities in Pekin to a
full realization of the situation and the
consequences of refusal.

To the Sporting Editor Of The Herald:
once more we are called upon to ask
YOUR indulgence, that our side of the
ease may be presented to the public
The reasons for our passing Ogden
without playing, as given to Mr.. Gin
In were practically as follows:
We went to Salt Lake City to meet

l-tsh-I Idaho league. as agreed upon
I'm ogden with Messrs. C1ippenger and
Hickey. the ogden team then standing
suspended. An agreement was held at

and 70 was further agreed that we

such a settlement has ever been
served on US
As above stated, we were on hand

acted. And We were unable to see the
secretary Of the league. and have. as
Yet. received no notice from him that
a satisfactory settlement has been
agreed upon and that the Ogden team
was Teinstdted-
AR. Gimlin called on us at the train
in Ogden about two minutes before we
left there. and we told him our reason
Cor not stopping. 1t was that we had
been unable to see the secretary or di-
ractars and that we were of the Opin-
ION hat the new season had been
opened and recommended by the Og-
den team with the object on their part
0f ovading the terms laid down by the
league. that it was a scheme to evade
filing the dates which they had for
faited i'm POCatellO, and that we did
not propose to stop until we fully un-
L1rSJOOd where We were at.
NJ Gimlin then said that they had
agreed To come to POcatelio and make
u1 their forfeited dates, but at this
jUnc-ure the train moved out, and left
as mo- chance to act on this informa-
ton. This alone is our reason for not
stopping 10 play in ogden, and we are
