and much personal magnetism. She
made her debut as public speaker at a
meeting of the peoples party in St.
Louis eight years ago. She began with
a child's recitation and launched into
a woman suffrage speech. In ringing
tones she said:
you men must keep your promises
and give us a suffrage plank. You all
have been used to say: The hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world but
l say to you. gentlemen, if you do not
keep your promise there will be no
cradles to rock and no babies to put in
them"
The child visited the Boys Reform
school at Topeka, and there addressed
The 200 youths in the institution. She
spoke with a maternal air, and the bad
youngsters gave her most respectful
attention.
Miss Lease, though a girl of gentle
manners. has strong convictions. She
is a vegetarian. She does not eat
meat or eggs nor drink milk. Her voice
is powerful in defamation and sweet
in song. She has written several songs
that have been set to music by Miss
Jessie L. Clark, the director of music in
the public schools of St. Louis. She
and her younger sister Grace, have
paraphrased some of Dickens Christ
mas tales, dramatized and staged them
in their old home in Wichita. Kan. Miss
Lease will doubtless swell the number

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Every day
counts, and the situation in China is
worse for that reason, says the London
correspondent Of the Tribune. It is 10
days since there was authentic infor-
nation from the legations at Pekin.
and that fact alone justifies serious
apprehension. 1t is hardly probable
that the legations. with all their re-
sources, should not have been able to
send courier with dispatches to the
seaboard. Twelve days have passed
since the British admiral, with the
mixed forces of 2SOO marines, left Tien
Tsin for Pekin, and there is no authen-
tic news of his arrival.
A Brussels commission house is re-
ported to have received a message an
nounclng the passage of the column
into the capital, and there are other
reports of a similar nature from Chi
nese sources. What is anxiously
awaited here is an official bulletin Of
some kind in the place of the vague
oonjectures which have been substitut-
ed for news in one capital after an
other.
Mr.. Broderick made some official ex-
plantations in the house of commons,
but it was with the air Of man who
did not tell all he knew nor half what
he feared. The truth is that there is
deep anxiety in official circles over the
situation in China, and this feeling is
shared by the diplomatic circles.
Nothing is known respecting the lega-
tions, and anything may have hap
pened in Pekin. Admiral Seymour's
force of marines was not supplied foI
a march of twelve days, and it has
been cut Off from communications with
Tlen Tsin There will be an intense
feeling of relief when authentic noti-
fieation comes from the column.
Meanwhile a thick fog has settled

SHANGHAI. June r. Foreigners
and commercial men at all Of the trea-

Chinese government has been wrecked
beyond repsir and that the only solu-
ton for the existing anarchy will be
the establishment OF a new government
controlled by the civilized nations. At
tempts TO restore the empress on the
basis Of her foreordalned promise OF
good behavior would make the posi-
tlon Of the foreigners worse then

A popular plan Is the restoration Of

ject to strict supervision by some
council representing the foreign powers.
The personal punishment Of the highest
officials concerned In the anti-foreign
movement is considered essential.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Perhaps
because he was not himself prepared
to make any recommendation upon
them. General Macarthur did not
transmit to the war department the
results Of the meeting of the Filipinos
at Manila yesterday. at which they
drew up the terms Of the settlement
Of the differences between the leaders Of
the insurrection and the United States
government. The general impression is
that General Macarthur will leave the
Philippine commission to deal with
such matters.
Some at least Of the conditions de-
sired corrected are Incorporated In the
instructions given to the commission.
For instance, Judge Taft, the president
OF the commission, has been specially
charged by his colleagues with the con-
sideration Of the question as to how
the universal desire Of the Filiplnos for
the ejectment Of the friars from the
archipelago is to be reconciled with the
organic principles Of our laws relative
to individual liberty.
