New York, June 29.-The break in
wheat yesterday was the reason assigned
by most persons in Wall street for yes
terday's severe punishment of shorts in
the stock market. The news from China
was encouraging although it was not by
any means certain yesterday that the
European and American diplomats were
safe. 1t is obvious that the action of
foreign capital in the securities markets
will depend considerably upon the turn
which affairs in the far east will take
hereafter. The lull in the Chinese situa-

rains in the northwest furnished an ex-

ponents. The monetary situation shows

BOmbardment of Tien Tsin Con-
tinues.

Berlin, June 29.-The German consul
at Che Foo telegraphs under date to
June Is, that nothing is known concern
ing the foreign ministers. He adds that
the railway between Taku. and Tien
Tsin was still threatened and that the
bombardment of Tien Tsin on the west
continues, though the Chinese shells ex-
plode badly. 1t was also said that three
residents had been killed or wounded.
FOREIGN LOSSES GROW.
London, June 29.-In the house of COM
mons today the parliamentary secretary
of the foreign office. Mr.. William St
John Frederick, announced that the
British losses with Vice Admiral Sey-
mour'S force, which with the rest of the
relief force, had returned to Tain Tien,
June 26, were:
Killed: Captain Herbert w. H. Beyts,
Royal marines, and "a men; wounded
seven officers and 81 men.
Mr.. Broderick added that the return
of the foreign casualties were incom-
plete but the total was supposed to be
81 men killed and PIP men wounded.
In conclusion Mr. Broderick said that
the most recent reports which had
reached the government pointed to the
leSatloneerS~ being still at Pekin.
WASHINGTON IS WORRIED.
w washington, June 29.-NOne of the
members of the cabinet present at
today's meeting could see the least
change for the better in the Chinese sit
uation. Secretary Hay was not pres
ent, nor was Secretary Gage, but the
other members said that nothing had
been heard from the ministers stationed
at Pekin and this fact was causing the
greatest alarm for their safety. 1t was
stated that every possible effort was be-
ing made to secure intelligence of their
Wherea bouts but up to this time with
out results. No additional troops. it was
said, had been ordered to China, but
matters were being put in shape to meet
any emergency that might arise When
the cabinet meeting broke up a little
| before one o'clock there could be nc
doubt that the members shared the
| general depression at the lack of news
| from Minister Conger.
While unwilling to admit that hope
| for his safety was fast fading, they fell
that their gravest fears might be re-
| allied at any time.

Discussed by Oscar straus, o. s. Min
lister to Turkey.

New York, June 29.-Oscar. Strains
United States minister to Turkey in an
interview says:
secretary Hay achieved a far reach
ing diplomatic success when he arranged
Tor the open door in China by interna-
tIonal agreement and think along this
line must the diplomacy in regard TO
CHINA adjust itself At the same time
II VIII probably be necessary to pro
vide that the roads leading throupn
these open doors shall extend through
out the Chinese empire. China is too
immense country with its fleming
population to be diverted from its tradi-
lions, running back several thousand
years.
Christianized; one might as well think
of converting the great ocean into a
fresh water lake.
'As the interests of the European ma
lions and of the United States in China
are entirely commercial it will be alb
surd to think of dividing it. even if
that were possible, for division of a
country with a population so alien to
western ideas as is China would destroy
the life and activity that is left therein,
and would paraiyze it's industries and
destroy it's commerce.
Looking at the future of China from
every aspect, from the conflicting in
terests of European nations and the
United States the only division practical
is to make no division, but help China
to develop along its own best lines while
protecting it against intruders and
making the open door a permanent in
stitutiOn by extending throughout the
empire the rights that appertain to the
treaty ports.
Joint protectorates have always been
failures, and a protectorate by one of
the nations concerned is out of the ques-
ton. The problem is not that of India
| but of Turkey magnified
You ask will this satisfy Russian
| No, I think not; neither did the treaty
| Of Berlin, which ripped up the treaty
| of San Stefano satisfy Russia; yet she
accepted it as an alternative. The dis
| agreement of other nations is Russia's
! step; her diplomacy is able, willy and
| deep, and must never be judged by the
! surface conditions.
The open door policy laid out by
| Secretary Hay I regard in the nature
! OF an international Monroe doctrine as
| applied to China and will, if followed
not only keep US out of war, but will be
| the controlling factor In keeping peace
among the nations. It's force lies in its
far reaching equity as the nations all
share the benefits equally
