Abandoned and Perishsd.

Washington, July 6.-"Not a single
foreigner is now alive in Pekin," is the
latest Chinese report which has reached
Shanghai. Earlier reports from the
same sources describe the condition of
the British legation as something
awful.
That the foreigners at the Chinese
capital have been abandoned to their
horrible fate seems no longer open to
doubt in the light of the message re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
Talxu, announcing the decision of the
admirals regarding the hopelessness of
further attempts to relieve Pekin under
the circumstances. The same message
seemed to foreshadow the evacuation
of Tien Tsin by the international
forces, pending the arrival Of fully
equipped army.

Bad NEWS FRON KEhPFF.
Legations are Bessiged and are
Short of Food.
JAPAN GIVEN A FREE HAND.

Washington, July Bad news from
Admiral Kempff, confirming the worst
stories which have emanated from
China relative to the conditions at
Pekin, and a feeling of disquiet was
noticeable among administration Off
Gals and diplomats.
Admiral Kempffs dispatch was as
follows:
Runner from Pekin reports lega-
tons are besieged; provisions nearly
exhausted; situation desperate. Ger
man minister going to Tsung Ii Yamen
was surrendered to the mob by Chinese
soldiers American, Italian, Dutch
legations burned. Twenty thousand
Chinese soldiers inside; 10000 outside
Pekin; 1000 reported bound for Tien
Tsin; still fighting at Tien Tsin. Com
munication with Tien Tsin by rail and
river insecure.
The shortage of food supplies re-
ported by Admiral Kempf gives rise
to the gravest apprehension. Having
been taken to Taku by runner, the
dispatch represented the ministers
condition at least five days ago, and
there is reason to fear that the worst
has happened in the interim.
An effort is afoot to reach an inter
national agreement respecting the
conduct of the forces of the powers in
China. It was said at the state de-
partment that the only news was. that
there seemed to be a unanimous agree
ment on the part of the powers to
welcome with the utmost cordially
Japan's offer to furnish reinforcements
for the forces now operating along the
Pei-Ho river in the effort to reach
Pekin, as Japan, alone, of the powers,
is prepared to throw into China what
ever number of troops may be needed.
The news to that effect had come to
the state department from all direc-
tons and particularly from England,
Russia and France.
AS far az the state department is
concerned, it had previously accorded
Japan free hand in the matter of the
number of troops to be employed in
China, upon a voluntary and courteous
statement of the purpose of the en-
ployment of these forces.

st. Louis Police Scored.

st. Louis, July 9.-The June grand
jury, in the final report, fastened much
of the responsibility for the disturb
ances which marked the recent street
railway strike on the police.
The report denounees the police law
as passed by the last legislature and
says that it makes it possible for the
president of the board to step in and
assume full authority over the chief
Of police. The jurors declare that the
law should make it compulsory for the
mayor to be member of the board
and to attend the meetings.
Police officials and patrolmen are
criticised for falling to do their duty
and the jury says that many acts of
Iawlessness were committed with the
apparent consent of the police.
The sheriff's posse was compimented
for its efficient services.

Southern China VIII secede.

Washington, July 6,-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister here, is in constant
correspondence by cable with the vice
roys of the great southern provinces Of
China. 1t is not known positively
whether or not the minister has the
means of communicating with Pekin;
if so, the channel must be torturous,
involving the use of one of the vice
roys as an intermediary.
ALI indications point to a separation
of the southern provinces from the en-
pire, either as a new consolidated en-
pire, or divided into small kingdoms
under the present viceroys as kings
This would make foreign intercourse
much more manageable.

After failing to gain clandestine
interview with his sweetheart, McNa-

He applied for a writ OF habeas corpus,
