Contrary to the agreement of the allied
commanders, the Russians advanced and

At two o'clock on the afternoon of the
aAth, the British and Americans entered
the gate near the legatins and met with
only slight resistance.
The Japanese met more serious opposi-
ton at the upper east gate all day. At
midnight on the 14th they blew up the
gate and entered the city.
Many Chinese We're killed.
The people in the legation We're well
but somewhat starved.
Minister Conger said:
''They tried to annihilate us the day be-
fore you got in.
Prince Ching, president of the Tsung-
Li-Yamen, sent word that his officers had
received orders to cease firing on us un-
der pain of death.
AT seven o'clock in the evening of the

LONDON, August 22.-3:55 a. m.-
In the news that reaches London this
morning direct from China there is
I nothing to confirm the report that
the Empress Dowager has been run to
earth. The foreign ENJOYS. according
to the Shanghai correspondent of the

that the sacred city was entered Au-

Admiral Bryce reported.
"The flags of the allies" says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail, wiring yesterday, "are now
floating over the imperial palace.
Street fighting, however, continues.
Considerable assistance in the capture
of Pekin was rendered by 1000 armed

Mr. Conger has at last opened the

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 21.-About

ed wreck is reported at Derry, further

WASHINGTON, August 21.-The
State Department to-day received an
appeal from the viceroys of Marking
and Hanan, asking that no personal in
dignities be shown the emperor and
empress dowager, and renewing assur-
ances of friendship and of maintaining
quiet in She south of China if this was
observed The communication from
the viceroys came through Minister
WI, and was delivered by him to Mr..
Adee this morning.
1t is understood that the powers al
ready have considered this question,
and there appears to be no disposition
to give the emperor and empress dow
ager any affront.
The application of the Chinese vice
roys is in effect request that the
Chinese sovereigns shall not be made
prisoners of war. 1t is said that the
powers are authorized, under the rules
and practice of international law, to ac-
cede to this request or not, as they may
deem best. The request is not one OF
right, but it's granting is dependent en-
tirely upon what the powers may con-
slider best for their own interests.
1t is an established principle of in
ternational law that members of the
enemy's royal family, his chief min
listers of state and his diplomatic agents
are liable to capture even though they
may not be actually engaged in hostile
operations. Their position makes
them so important to the enemy in the
conduct Of his war that they cannot be
treated as ordinary non-combanants"
In the present case there is we'll
grounded belief that the sovereigns, es-
pecially the empress dowager, have
been instrumental in directing hostile
movements and Minister Conger's ad-
vices have stated that the imperial
forces were besieging the legations.

ment desires to make public at this time.
The entire message was before the cabi-

less refer to questions of policy and to

The State Department also has received

and 1t is stated that for this reason it
will not be given out. 1t is said it sheds
no new light on the situation at Pekin.

The Americans Were the Most Adj

LONDON, August N.-The Daily Ex-
press prints this morning long letter
said to have been written by Vice Admiral
Seymour in which he stoutly defends his
action in advancing to the relief of the
legationers when he did, saying:
Two or three times our prospects were
very dark and disaster seemed probable.
Yet never regretted that 1 had started
as | could not have respected myself if
had not done so.'
Referring to the difficulties of controll-
ing mixed troops and of their character
istics, he says:
The Germans we admired most; but for
dash and go, none surpassed or perhaps
equalled the Americans. The French had
no particular rapproachment, with any
other nationality. The Germans and Rus
SLAMS were inclined to hold together, but
the Americans were with us always

Dor Unions are at Variance.
Pittsburg, Pa, August 21.-The
window glass trade is in a peculiarly
mixed condition. The refusal of the
fatteners' association to accept the
combines scale puts that organiza-
ton in the position where flatteners
must be secured outside. With that
end in view, the American Window
Glass Company today secured the CO.
operation Of L. A 300, whereby the
later agrees to furnish fatteners suf-
ficient to start the plants on Septem-
Der l, on last years scale. The fatten-
ers' association claims this cannot be
done, as L. A. 300 can command only
twenty-five out of thirty fatteners,
whereas nearly 600 will be needed.
The cutters, though they have signed
their scale, are also inclined to be re-
bellious. They have notified L. A. 800

that the fifty cutters who remained

now join the Cutters League or be
looked upon as non-union men. The
opinion prevails among the knowing
ones that 1t will be long after Septem-
Der before any window glass is
