Washington (SpeciaD Now that the
primary object for which the allied ar
mics marched upon Pckin-the rescue
Of the beseged legationers-has been
accomplished the drift of discussion
in official and diplomatic circles turns
to the next step to be taken
Necessarily many of the predictions
as to what this will be are purely con-
iectural. as IT Is realized that complete
and definite information regarding the
condition of affairs in Pekin must be
awaited before any positive action can
be taken by the Governments whose
interests have suffered as result of
the Chinese troubles.
The presumption here is that the
next move viii be an agreement for an
armistice. This may be undertaken by
the commanders of the Chinese army
and those of the allies on the spot
where the fighting, according to the
latest reports from Pekin, appears still
TO be in progress. The question of the
withdrawal of the foreign armies, the
payment of indemnities and many
other problems may he left to commits
sions duly appointed to adjudicate
them. Ii Hung Chang has already
been appointed a plcnipOtentiary by
his Government to negotiate terms of
peace, and in this capacity, it will be
remembered, he made an Intellectual at
tempt to stop the progress of the allies
in their march on Pekin. Whether Ii
will be continued in that capacity by
the Imperial Government is not known
here, but such seems probable, as with
his well-known ability and his ac-
quaintance with the world he would be
able to make better terms, perhaps,
than any other Chinaman.

PLIGHT OF THE MINISTER'S.
Fears Entertained that They May Yet
he Murdered.

he Murdered.
Washington (SpeciaD The latest
message received from Minister Con-
ger has convinced Washington that
the Chinese Government is neither
honest in it's desire to protect the le-
gationers nor stable and strong enough
to make the protection effective, even
if it were sincere. Therefore there is
a hideous fear that the Chinese will
fight desperately at Tung Chow. What
will happen when the Chinese troops
fall back into the city, defeated and
routed by the allies; the scenes that
may ensue in the foreign quarter when
the infuriated mob, mingling with the
troops, are melted by the fanaticism
of Prince Tuan, to attack the legations;
the massacre of the ministers, in
sight of their own troops, who may
arrive an hour too late to save them,
are pictures that very naturally sug-
gested themselves at the War Depart
ment, and easily accounted for the pre-
vailing gloom.
From the roofs of their legations the
ministers can see the advancing allies.
on Sunday Mr.. COnger heard the guns
of the American artillery, and Sunday
night he could see the lights in the
American camp. But he saw, too his
food supplies almost exhausted; the
mob around the legation building
larger and more sullen, and the cart
ridge belts of the few remaining guards
almost empty. The life of the minis
ters is matter of hourS-a race be-
tween the retreating Chinese and the
advancing allies.

Washington (Special) The capture

War Department in Washington, says
he entered the legation gr5unds at

In Washington the date Of General
Chaffec's dispatch Is regarded as an er-

counts of the entry into Pekin agree
that 1t was on Wednesday, not Tues
day, as General Chaffee says. Admiral

THE DECISION TO BURN.

The Board of Health has resolved 10
burn the Hotel stables. AS in the Pan
theon case, it took a third victim TO
achieve the result. Mr.. Hatch's excuse
for the previous non-action of the
Board is an incorrect defense of a weak
cause which would have been better
left unsaid. The Japanese who was
taken from the stables ON the Goth ult.
and died on the 21st, was taken sick
in tie stables, where he lived and slept.
Ahung did not live at the stables, but
he became ill there; lay there under a
blanket on Thursday week, returned
and remained for some time on Mon
day last and died the same day. Mr.
Hatch speculates In all kinds of posi-
bilities as to where else they might
have been or might have become in
fected. Speculations are unnecessary
and are rendered valueless by the fact
that wherever else they might have
been or were not, they ioere at the sta
bles.
Mr.. Hatch says that neither of these
cases proved anything, but bases his
vote TO burn exclusively upon the third
case. His logic is difficult to follow
in view of the fact that the third vic
tim only worked week at the Hote
stables, was not sick there at all, ant
has remained at his home, a mile ava!
from the stables, throughout his sick
ness.
However. all is well that ends well
A substantial, though tardy. advanc
has been made toward destroying
center of infection. A prompt execu
ton of the decision will be the bes
earnest that the Board means to liv
up TO its previous rigorous record.
