these articles as crusade against the
civil side Of the war office. This Is
not accurate. No charges have been

WASHINGTON, July 15.-To-day's
news served to settle only more for
chilly in the official mind the conviction
that the worst has happened in Pc
kin.
Secretary Long is an exception to
those now who are almost firmly con-
WINGED that the worst has happened.
He still has hopes that the ministers
may be alive, and that when reliable
news is received direct from Pekin it
may show that many of the reports
emanating from there Rave been ex-
aggerated. lie bases his hope par
italy of the opinion that the response

whoever they may be, will not be
so short-sighted as to permit such a
terrible catastrophe as the murder of
foreigners because of the evil conse-
quences that would follow.
Minister WI is disconsolate over the
latest reports from China, and it seems
evident that he almost has given up
hope that the ministers are yet alive At
the same time he trusts that official ad-
vices will show all the rumors to have
been exaggerated, and that good will
come out of the evil which now seems to
overhang his government

LONDON, July 15.-The original pro-

arrival of the six hundred American DEL

was favored with glorious weather. Rev
Charles Sheldon addressed the meeting
and overflow gatherings at the Alexandra
Palace, everywhere being received with
great enthusiasm.
Peter Bilhorn was also present. He
has charge of the vocal music during the
convention. Thus far all the meetings
have been largely attended and the in
spring strains of the Christian Endeavor
hymns could be heard all over the
grounds until long after midnight In
deed, soon after 3 o'clock this morning
the secretary himself and many others
resumed singing.
