CHINA'S FATE
HANGING In
THE BALANCE.
II the Ministers Have Been Given
Their Passports, It Means a
Declaration Of War.
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR IS SAFE
According to a Reputed Dispatch
From II Hung chang-Future Re-
lations Depend Upon oonger.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The days
developments in chiness affairs were
measrp and the general opinion here is
that the two messages received-one
from Kemptf and the other from Ii
Hung Chang-could not be accepted as
settling the important question as to
the fate of the foreign ministers at Pc
kin and their families and attaches
The secretary Of the navy, by special
instruction Of the President, had been
particular to cable Admiral Kempff
several days ago to keep the navy de-
partment informed Of everything that
happened within the zone OF disturb
ance In China, and 1t is believed that
his omission to make any reference in
his cablegram Of this morning to the
whereabouts Of the ministers was based
on the absence of any information on
that subject at Taku, where the ad-
mIral is with his flagship, Newark. And
IL no information could be had at Taku'
only thirty miles down the river from
Tlen Tsln, Of the presence OF the minls
ters in Admiral seymours column. but
eight miles distant. then officials here
cannot understand how any other gov
ernment could have superior facilities,
and so they felt justified In waiting for
further advices before accepting the
Chinese statements on that point as ac-
curate.
Reports Appear at Variance.
Minister WI, who brought LIS mes
sage to the state department could not
explain away the points OF variance
between the viceroy's Statements and
the cable messages received from other
sources. However, he pinned his faith
to the accuracy of the message and
pointed out that 1t agreed closely with
Admiral Kemp6's message of yester-
day, stating that the ministers were re-
ported to be with Admiral Seymour.
The navy department has had further
communication with Admiral Kempff
in the shape OF two messages,one touch
ing the strength of the foreign forces
ashore in China and another, which the
officials stated had no bearing upon the
military situation, but in neither was
there any mention OF the ministers. One
consideration which makes against the
unreserved acceptance by the officials
OF the assurance OF minor Chinese Off
cials, including Ii Hung Chang and

A YOUNG LIFE
DASHED OUT
OF EXISTENCE.
The infant Son of Joseph zoslleF,
of slztsenthstreet, Falls From
a Window, and
RECEIVES FATAL INJURIES.
Details of the Accident Hot Availa-
ble-Death After Four Hours
Of Suffering.

A sad fatality occurred yesterday, the
victim of which was a child, the sixteen
months old son, of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Zoeller, Of Sixteenth street. who tell
from the third-story of their home re-
ceIylng injuries that terminated in
death a few hours later The window
overlooks the rear yard of the zoelleF
home. 1t was opened to admit the air
SO much needed yesterday but was
partly protected by q screen. The ex-
act details are not obtainable as to the
manner Of the child's fall. but 1t Is
thought the little fellow pushed the
screen to one side, and losing his bal
ance fell to the ground. a distance OF
about twenty-five feet.
Kind hands cared for the little suffer-
er and DR.. Reed was Immediately sum-
moned and all that medical skill could
devise was resorted to. The accident
occurred about II O'Clock and death
brought relief at o'clock. The child
suffered Internal injuries, and the abb
sence of serious bruises was accounted
for by the fact that the yard on which
the child fell is not paved. Mr.. 2oeller,
the father, is a well known employe of
the Central glass house. The sad affair
attracted general sympathy for the be-
reaved family.

When you consider that it is part OF
the religion of the species to try TO touch
their chins with their knees at each rev
oution of the pedal you may form some
idea of their general outline. Most or
them use diamond frame, the drop be-

seen them mounted on a womans wheel;
they stop at nothing-the bloomer ladies.
When this spectacle cracks jokes on your

and YOU would hate TO cause disSenslon

But perhaps the strangest part of the
experience is that with the cold weather
the annoyances cease. While the great
lake is covered with skaters, a rare sight
for Paris. though a few men ride, they
bother you none a all. As for the bloom
ers, they are probably afraid of catching
cold in their ankles, or perhaps it IS
their knees, for, with the singing birds,
they vanish at the first frost to reappear
as the ground hardens after the spring
thaw. The phenomenon makes one think
of the old adage of fair weather friends,
for. like them so fair weather riders are
to be avoided. No wonder the Partisan
ladies' do not ride, though-they know
