Emperor Returns tJ Pekin.
London, June 1.-THE return of the
emperor of China and of the dowager
empress to Pekin from their summer
palace is regarded as a hopeful sign, but
otherwise there is no favorable news
from China except the evidence of a
continued perfect understanding be-
tween the various powers and the an
nouncement that the international
guards probably will arrive at Pekin to-
day. Should these prove insufficient to
restore order, Russia is apparently pre-
pairing to deal with the crisis, judging
from dispatch from st. Petersburg
as follows: Gas the result OF an un
derstanding between the Russian gov
ernment and the other powers, dis
patch has been sent to Port Arthur or
derng 5000 men of the Russian garrison
there to be held in immediate readiness
to leave for Tien Tsin whenever the
Russian minister at Pekin asks for their
assistance or circumstances require their
Intervention
DOWAGER EMPRESS FLEES.
London, June 11.-A dispatch from
Ten Tsn says that it is reported the
dowager empress has fled to the Russian
legation at Pekin.
A SHANGHAI RUMOR.
According to a dispatch from Shanghai
dated today, 1000 Russians with 70 guns
have already been landed Tien-Tsin
and are marching in the. direction OF
Pekin. 1he Shanghai rumors, however,
must be accepted with caution.
MOB RULE.
A dispatch from Pekin dated June Q,
says: "Forty Boxers armed with knives
looted and burned the Pekin club, race
track and grand stand buildings. An
other edict this morning orders the mi
litary governor of the police to guard
the streets with cavalry and infantry
Nevertheless in the neighborhood of the
legations the streets continue to be
thronged with the toughest kind OF a
mob ready to break out at the slightest
provocation.
PROTECTING MISSIONARIES.
United States Minister Conger has
sent 20 marines and the British minister,
Sir Claude Macdonald, IL marines to
guard the Methodist mission compound,
where the member of all denominations
of Protestants are gathered. The Roman
Catholics assembled north of the cathe-
dral at west Pekin, have a small guard
of French marines, but the converts
have been we'll armed by Bishop Favier
and will desperately resist attack. Busi-
ness is practically at stand still. Con-
stantly increasing streams OF Boxers
parade the streets at their pleasure,
much to the alarm of merchants, al
though thus far there has been no loot
ing of native shops.
AMERICANS TAKE PART.
Washington, June 1.-The following
undated dispatch was received at the
navy department.: Forces landed by

tions to Pekin. The Americans joined.

Kempff also reports the arrival Of the
Monocacy at Taku.
ANGLO-AMERICANS STICK TOGE-
THEIR.
Tien Tsin. June lot is learned
that but for the firmness of the United
States consul, Captain McCalla Qn
charge Of the American landing parity
and the British consul here, there
would have been further delay in des-
patching the international guards to
Pekin and the majority of the forces
would not have been British. At a
meeting of consuls and commanders of
troops last evening, when the necessity
for the immediate despatch of troops
was considered, the representatives of
two Europeon powers questioned the
necessity and afterwards disparaged
the idea that the British forces should
preponderate. The Anglo-Americans
however, insisted and carried their
point. The Americans generally de-
plore the smallness of the United States
forces here. At the same time they are
ready to defer to whatever may be con-
sidered best at Washington.
MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS.

cable from Pekin was received today by

the missionary society at Pekin. In re-
peating the cable message to President
Mckinley, Rev. A. b. I.eonard, of the
missionary society, added the following:
s'This means that our people are in great
peril and greatly need sdch protection
as our government can afford"
