SOME HOPE LEFT.
Civil War In Pekin May save Lives Of

A London, July 18th. special saws.
with the foreigners in Pekin probably
safe amid civil war with Prince Ching
on their side, with the powers united
their forces constantly increasing,
the outlook in China is now rather
more hopeful chan it has been for a
month past. IL appears from the eau
tious statement given out by Tao Tai
Sheng in Shanghai that the reason that
the heavy guns bearing on the lega-
ions at Pekin were not used is that
Prince Ching, who is served by 10000
troops, seized all the artillery ammu-
milton: Sheng likewise intimatcs that
lung Lu. commander-in-chief OF the
northern army, is associated with
Frlnce Ching in opposing Prince Tuan's
fcrocious designs and d~ictatorial am
oitlon. Sheng, who appears to be the
sole Shanghai conduct of Pekin news.
cheers the foreign consuls by the con.
hdential communications, but takes
excessive precautions to prevent the
chinese from thinking him friendly to
the foreigners.
Ihe feeling of unrest In the southern
anu central provinces continues. The
members of the official classes in those
provinces strive to remain neutral,
with a leaning toward the foreigners,
until they shall see whether the mod
crate or extreme factions will win in
Pekin. Prince Ching seems to be
standing for the dynasty and the old
order against Prince Tuan's inordin.te
