the Chinese troops have been defeated
near there. London advices say that dis
patches from the far East show appar-
emily no cessation in the activity of the
boxers, but the powers are gradually feel
ing their way to common action for the
suppression of the disorders. 1t is be-
lieved that when the dowageII empress
realizes the first intention to check her
connivance in the anti-foreign movement,
there will be a speedy end to the rioting,
as, if the Chinese acted in good faith,
they could easily quel the rabble, which
is armed chiefly with spears, agricultural
implements, a few swords and some old
rifles
Pressing appeals are being sent to the
State Department and the President by
missionary interests in this country to
send United States marines into the in
terror portions of China, where American
missionaries are threatened by the box
ers' uprising. To maintain an appearance
of neutrality and not to offend the Chin
csc with too much show of force, a
Washington correspondent says that the
Government cannot safely land more ma
rines in China. To send them into the
interior would be deemed folly. With
this situation of affairs there is no posi-
bility of aid for the missionaries unless
they seek the protecting wing of the
American legation at Picking. This is
the situation which confronts the State
Department.

Vaccinations remains to be seen.
Whatever may have been the precise
nature of Russia's conspiracy, and what
ever may be its limitations, nothing is
clearer than that it is confronted by the
joint and determined resistance of Ger
many, japan and England. Against the
naval and military forces of these pow
ers Russia cannot contend in the far
East and will not dare make the attempt
Great Britain alone could overmatch
Russia upon the water, and with the
help of Japan could quickly place upon
the continent land forces more than equal
to any contingent Russia is in position
to confront them with.
1t is not forgotten by diplomats that
Great Britain is at this moment at the
zenith of her military power. Not in
half century has that nation been so
well prepared to meet a foe at home or
abroad as she is at this moment In
short time 250,000 hardened men, fresh
from the field of South Africa, could be
transported to the eastern coast of Asia
If it should be necessary to strike a blow
upon the Asiatic coast Great Britain
could strike hard and quickly. Japan, so
much nearer at hand, is quite as ready.
If breach of the peace comes through
unexpected Russian aggression, or if dis
memberment of the Chinese Empire be-
comes imminent, the United States will
be placed in a most serious and embar-
RAISING dilemma. On the one side will
be our traditional policy of non-interfer-
ence. On the other the fact that the
United States is now the greatest power
bordering the Pacific ocean, an Asiatic
power, too, through sovereignty over the
Philippines, and in the open-door pledges
and the commercial situation, our enor-
nous direct interest in the status of
China

KRUGER NOT TO QUIZ.

Transvaa1 President Says the Burghers
Will Fight to the Bitter End.
President Kruger, replying to the offer
of 100 acres of land in America to each
burgher is reported as saying: I'VE thank
you for this generous offer of land, but
the burghers are determined to fight for
their own land and independence to the
bitter end"
In the Orange Free State the British
are not having their own way by any
means. Even apart from the capture
of the Irish Yeomanry, Gen. Rumble has
made what the London Nails expert
calls a retrograde movement. Nothing
official has been heard from Gen. Butler
in Natal At last accounts he was pre-
pairing to turn the Boer position at
Laing's Mex, which probably means hard
fighting.
A dispatch from Maseru, in Basuto-
land, says that in the last engagement
the Beers took ffty-four British prison
ers including an officer whom they re-
leased conditionally The officer estimat-
ed that the Boer forces between Ficks-
burg and Bethlehem number 5000 men.
The Thirteenth Imperial Yeomanry
battalion, captured by the Beers near
Lindley, Orange River Colony, consisted
of two Irish units and two companies of
the Duke of Cambridge's own, includ-
ing Lord Donoughmore's company of the
corps, a number of men in the ranks be-
ing closely allied to noble families.
Among the officers of the Thirteenth I'm
perial Yeomanry captured are the Earl
of Leitrim, the Earl of Longford and the
Earl of Ennismore
A London cable says that it now APP
pears certain that there will be stubborn
fighting on the part of the Beers. While
the British were taking possession of
johannesburg and Pretoria the burghers
escaped with their guns, rolling stock and
1000 British prisoners. President Kru-
ger declares that the real struggle is just
beginning. Sir Alfred Miner cables from
Cape Town, warning miners not to start
for the Transvaal, adding that two
months at least must elapse before Jo-
hannesburg can be opened and work at
the mines resumed,

Filipino Leader Captured by Native
Police Near Manila.
Manila advices say that the native po-
lice have captured the notorious rebsl,
Gen. Pho del Pillar, at San Pedro Macati.
Pillar has long been looked upon as the
most. desperate and uneompromising Of
the Filipino generals. He is a rabid hater
of the Americans, and excepting Agui-
naldo, has made more trouble to the
United States troops than any other of
the rebel leaders. He is O master of
guerrilla warfare and handled his troops
with wonderful cleverness. He has usu-
ally operated in the vicinity of the La
gunay de Bay and along the Pasig to-
ward Manila. Next to Aguinaldo Pho del
Pillar was without doubt the greatest
leader of the insurgents. He was their
best general and organizer and was al
ways in the field at the head of his men.

VAN WICK MAY BE oUsTEo.
Implication in the ice Trust Case Men
aces His Position,

I'm IMPLICATION in the ice Trust Case Mem
aces His Position.
The American Ice Company of New
York, popularity known as the ice trust,
announced in May that the price of it's
commodity hereafter would be go cents a
hundred pounds This was an increase
at single bound of 30 cents. There was
intimation that the price might go higher
before the season was over. The reason
given was the scarcity of ice. The peo-
pie knew better than this and the public
press at once raised its voice in their be-
half. The result has been a fight in the
courts over the right of the ice corpora
ton to do business in this State. 1t has
involved the Mayor of the city and other
officials, as well as prominent citizens not
holding office. The outcome is still in the
future. but the claim is made by some of
the daily papers that there will be no let
up in the fight until Mayor Van 'Wyck
has given up his office and the trust Off
Gals are landed in the penitentiary.
The American Ice Company was incor-
porated in Maine. By purchase or other
wise it acquired ownership of all the ice
companies of any consequence doing bust
ness III view 1OIh SIlg anu was III d pO-
sition at the opening of the season to die
tate prices.
Meantime the courts have called upon
Mayor Van Wyck and other city officials
to show by what right they purchase and
hold stock in company which has mo-
nopoly of its product in the city which
they represent The Mayor also is in
volved in the inquiry as to why he fav-
ored originally the control of certain
do ks by the city, but finally vetoed a
legislative bill securing this control, these
docks meantime, as is alleged, having
been leased to the ice trust He also
meantime, it is charged, secured the
greater part of his stock. Interest in the
investigation centers chiefly around the
Mayor.
The Mayors holdings in the trust, ac-
eording to his testimony in court, are
400 shares, the par value of which is
$4,000.
Since the investigation began the trust
quietly has dropped the price of ice from
60 cents n huRlred 10 40 1t has been
shown that ice can be sold in New York
for % cents hundred at profit

A Pekin correspondent says: "The

soldiery who were sent TO protect them
Within three days seventy-fye native
Christians, well-known men, who had
been trained for years by American mis-
sionaries, have been massacred near
Tung-Chau. Many OF them were burned
alive. The intimidation of Christians
continues within Pekin itself. Most Of
the mission compounds are closed, and
the missionaries are being collected under
the protection of the legation guards.
News was received in New York City
Wednesday of the murder of DIR. Edna
G. Terry, in charge Of the station of the
Methodist Episcopal Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society at Tsung Hua. Edna
Terry was born in Boston and was APP

ton. Before Germany, France, England
or America could send sufficient mill
tary force TO Pekin the missionaries and
all other foreigners would probably share
the fate of the Christians in Armenia
five or six years ago.
From Shanghai comes the report that
the Emperor of China has appealed to-
the European powers for joint interven-
ton in his behalf. He proposes that the
foreign governments now represented by
troops at Pekin release him from his pal
ace prison, depose the empress dowager,
declare a joint protectorate over the coun-
try, disband the Chinese armies, substi-
tute for them an army under foreign Off
GERS, provide gunboats for the rivers, and
assume entire control of the customs,
posts and telegraphs. If correct, this re-
port means the end of China. When the.
Emperor of China invites the European
powers, he invites the extinction Of his
empire.
IN 1G44 there was rebellion in China
and the defeated party asked the Man
choos to enter the empire. That request
practically closed Monaghan rule, for the
Manchoos, who went to Pekin to defend
