CIVILIZATION UP
AGAINST bARBlRISh.
Final Struggle Is Now
on Between
Them.
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY SHOCKED.
THE APPALLING NARRATIVE
OF TIE HOUR LOCALLY
DISCUSSED.
Nothing Heard Yesterday Bus the
Butehery OF Europeans in
chiRa-what Was

The story Of the massacre OF Euro
peans in China caused the pulse of the
community to beat high yesterday. Il
vas the one theme of conversation.
he mutiny of India was recalled; dark
deeds OF remote history were recited
Yet their adherence paled when con
trasted with the appalling narrative Of
the close OF the twentieth century.
There was general cessation of
business Nothing was done In the
courts or on change. The Board OF
Education adjourned, and groups con-
gTegated on the streets, in the hotels
and in the resorts.
Notwithstanding the return of two
OF the delegates 10 the late Democrats
National Convention and their recap
ton by friends. the deplorable news
from China occupied the entire atten-
ton OF the community. Many were the
expressions OF horror. The ultimate
result OF the butchery was thoroughly
canyassed. yet all admitted, owing to
the stupendous magnitude of the stu
alton, that they were at sea.
The following are few of the many
expressions heard;
Martin Egan, en- route 10 China on
the Rio, where he will act as the San
Francisco Chronicles correspondent.
said: There can be no question but
that all foreigners in Peking have been
massacred or have taken their own
lives TO escape the horrible torture
which would certainly have been their
fate had they fallen into the hands OF
the Chinese. The situation is more
than serious; it is appalling. | am a
long ways from the scene of action, but
think we may look for wars exceed
Ing in magnitude the Napoleonic wars
early in the last century. Suppose
Japan, China and Russia should form
an alliance? 1t is not improbable: what
them America S position is embarrass-
ing. She doesn't want war, but it looks
as as il she would be forced into il.
There is much buncombe about this
talk OF partitioning China. 1t will take
years to partition the empire Things
look bad
Chief Justice Frear-It is very seri- |
Gus, | think the powers Will demand |
large indemnities and may annex much |
chinese territory.
G. w Macfarlane-It is a most hor-
ibie butehery. No man can tell what |
viii be the result. The most astound- |
ng results, in my judgment. will FOL I
ow the disposition of Chinese terri
DRY. The powers may quarrel among /
themselves and worlds war follow.
Herbert NJ. Ayres-It may mean the /
Slav and Mongolian against the Anglo
saxon. While | have no disposition 10 |
)e an alarmist, Hawaii might be af-
ected by the trouble. Suppose the
APPS and Chinese should coalesce, leave
ne plantations and march on the
owns. We would be as helpless as the
europeans were in Peking England
nd the United States have their hands
all now; one in subduing the Beers,
he other in subjugating the Filipinos.
think there viii be an alliance be-
ween the two great English-speaking
aces. This alliance may keep the
forld at peace. but doubt it.

arbarous. ! am humane man, but

D Europeans should be meted ont 10

ible, but with the sword.
George d. Gear-It is awful. Il
hooks the civilized world What the
asult Will be no man can tell. This
which appalls the civilized
orld, is directly due TO an attempt to

hich the people vigorously resisted

rect opposition to the canons of hu-
an liberty and religious federation.
E. S. Cunha-It Is awful. II means
lie greatest war of the world 1t IS
onstrous. lis too awful to contem-
ate; too bad to think about.
Judge Gardncr X. Wilder of Hawaii
The allied rs ions must take united
