Todays most significant bulletin concern
ing the state of things in China tends to
confirm yesterdays output by Minister WI,
frail as was the founda ton for that an
nOuncement. The governor of Shan Tung
according to our consul at Shanghai, says
that his courier left Pekin July and that
the legations We're then holding out. This
is the date mentioned by Sheng corrobo-
rated by the governors of WI Chang and
Nan King. These two last-named officials
figure in the proposition about as would
the mayors of Des Moines and st. Louis in
connection with announcements as to the
political conditions in Detroit. There is no
line of natural communication between the
Yang tSe river and Pekin, which lies dis
tant from the cities named respectively
IL" and 80 miles. Travel in China follows
either rivers. canals or the great caravan
routes. Latter-day commerce has tended to
obiiterate the overland connections between
WI Chang, which lies on the Yang tse OPP
posite the cities of Kan Row and Han
Yang. and Pekin. In any event, it is alto
gether unlikely on its face that couriers
should have made their way across the
country so miles and 800 miles to these two
Yellow river cities while there were quick
er outlets to the coast by other means.
If today's bulletin is reliabe-and it de-
serves more credence on the first aspect
than did yesterdays announcement-then
the stories told a day or ago giving de-
tails of the butchery at Pekin were false
and hope still remains that the legations
have withstood the pressure. OF course
even this leaves a gap of nine days to be
accounted for, with every chance of the final
catastrophe having occurred meanwhile.
The only hope for the ultimate safety of
the legations rests upon the Chinese au-
thorities themselves. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that the allied forces at Tien Tsin
will he able for days to advance toward
Pekin. much less to force their way into
the city and restore order. The waiting for
tidings is becoming narrowing in its uncer-
tainty, its frequent changes in the proba-
bilities and the ever-present dread of the
worst.
The attack by Chinese troops on the Rus
sian city of Blagovestchensk adds a new
element to the situation. Were it not for
the assurance of an entire understanding
between the powers that territorial divis
ions are not in contemplation it might he
feared that this act of reprisal on the Rus
slams by the Chinese would preciptate an
Independent campaign by Russia, leading
to endless complications in the information
allies. There is, at the same time, ground
for hope in the announcement for it shows
that the Chinese are venturing outside of
their own territory and are thereby invit-
ing later disasters as a result of an ex-
tension of their lines of activity. If they
were to refrain from aggressive tactics and
remain defensive, massing themselves
against the advance of the allies, they
might offer resistance calling for the last
available resources of all the powers to
conquer them.

Why Not Repeal the Rule Now.

The proposition to avoid collisions be-
tween street cars and fire engines by des-
ignating forty-two crossings at which the
far-side rule shall be violated is defensible
solely on the ground that the necessity Is
great and that the Commissioners do not
care to change back to the near-side rule
at present. Yet there is little reason for
hesitating about making a change because
of the absence of Commissioner Ross who
is well known to favor the old system he
having strenuously opposed the recent re-
versal Commissioners mcfarland and
Beach have virtually condemned the far
side rule already by their proposal to the
railway companies. They have moved to
destroy its only virtue, its certainty, and
if their request is granted by the corpo-
rations the crossings will be made danger
Gus in the extreme. The forty-two excep-
tons are certain as vel! to prove a handi-
cap on the railways schedules, for the
cars must be halted both sides of all
such crossings, if necessary, in order to
give satisfactory service to passengers who
are unaware of the intricate system of
stops and rely upon the standard rule

can cure by a good perspiration and a
breath of fresh air"
There Is large paradox in the philoso-
ply of perspration. The hotter the healthy
human body becomes the more freely it
perspires. and yet the more freely it per
spires the cooler it grows.
Many persons try to keep cool by avoid

of relief therefrom. And it may be ac-

moderate exercise, sufficient to induce a
liberal moistening of the skin, is the best

Advice About SunstrOke.
From the Chicago journal.

These are days of sunstrokes, and people
ought to know that there are two ways in
which great heat affiicts the human body.
Nearly everybody thinks that when a man
collapses in the street a hot day the
thing to do is to clap him in ice That is
sometimes a mistake.
When the face of the victim is purple
and he has what is known in hot countries
as heat apoplexy." ice or cold water
should be used unsparingly.
But when his face is pale and his body
shows other signs of diminished blood cir
culation, stimulants In small quantities
should be given to him.
But a physician should be summoned In
every case.
The oft-repeated advice to keep quiet
walk on the shady side of the street. abb
1ure alcohol and refrain from worry is as
good this year as it was last year or the
year before.

The Chinese officials apparently would
have us believe that the legations were de-
stroyed because the allies landed troops to
go to their rescue, and at the same time
they intimate that the deaths of the Chris
tians are due solely to the fact that the
relief column did not go to them as quickly
as 1t should have done. This may be a
