WASHINGTON, July. FIT is one thing to

ton that Pekin has been in for several weeks,

WI tonight. Il cannot 20 into details a.

Foreign once and show them that It Ia oil i'm
portant that the world receive news OF for
eigners there, whether safe OF other wise. l
believe them safe. Bad news travels fast. does
It not? Did not one paper get the news Of
poor Won Ketteler' 8 death almost as soon a.
II occurred? Do you suppose that had the
other foreigners in Pekin been destroyed, you
would not have had such horrible news In spite
Of every precaution that could have been taken.
The word would have been carried out Of Pekin
In one way or another long ago"
Mr.. WI sa.d the edict given out yesterday
could have come only from the Chinese Gov
ernment, on account Of the fact that the cipher
Ia not known to any one but the Government.
The edict came to him in the proper form In
every way, and Its course from Pekin was de-
scribed.
1T could not" he said. have come from
any other source. 1t was first taken
from the cipher into Chinese here at
the legation, and then translated, lit
orally. into English. Nothing was left out.
The report sent from Shanghai Is a fake II II
claims to have the edict We received with add
tional sentences in It."
Asked how he would explain the fact that
the edict did not assure the world OF the safety
OF the legations and representatives Of foreign
powers in Pekin. Minister WI said:
They have had nows OF the outside wcrld
as what the outside world fears perhaps. Then
again; they take it for granted, maybe. that
In mentioning Won Ketteler II will be
understood that the others are sale. or would
not that fact have been told? II any others had
lost their lives. IL It probable that the edict
would mention Won Ketteler aloneS"
All the members Of the Chinese Legation re-
gard the edict as a genuine expression from
their Government. and say that II ia established
beyond a doubt in their minds that the edict
could not be anything else than what 1t claims
TO be. Mr.. WI has some excellent
advisers. and all SCOT at the report that tho
edict could have come from Primo Tuan. 1t 10
In the exact form. In every way. as all previous
edicts OF the Emperor Su Kwang Hsu. He
never signs his name. A seal Is afixed. and this
could not. Of course. be indicated by telegraph
to prove anything.

There Is undoubtedly a great anti foreign

In China. Certain foreign missionaries teach
the native. Of India that the British are to blame
for the lis that befall the country. When the

ries tell the natives that they are the result Of
British rule and this Of course breeds bad feel ng.
Great Britain holds her power In India by
a very slender thread. The British Officers
In India admit that the feeling against Great
Britain Is general among the people. Three
hundred millions Of people are being kept
down by a slender force, aud among them are
not 100. con really loyal natives. Great Britain
controls through want OF unity among the
natives. II united, they could with ease throw
the British into the sea.
When in India ] was told that there was
danger Of an outbreak. but 1t has not yet come :,
The natives are splendidly drilled and their
officers say there are no better soldiers in the
world. But there can be M doubt about the
anti-foreign movement, and also that the Brit
ish have long and frequently been warned ~

way across the plain east OF the Russian camp.
They posted artillery on the hills. but did not
reach the Chinese. whose four guns on the rail-

retired rapidly.
In the midst Of the fighting two locomotives
left the railroad yard and steamed rapidly to-
ward the East Arsenal. TIT Chinese used six
guns In firing on the locomotives. but although
several shots struck close they were unable to
destroy the engines.
The whole movement was a ruse to recover
the locomotives which were greatly needed.
The troops held the attention OF the Chinese

the engineers we're getting up steam. Even the
Chinese snipers failed to observe this move
