been on June "A. when Sir Robert Hart sent his
despaiTing APPEAL for rescue.
The japanese Minister gave expression yester-
day to apprehension that the worst had hap
pened in Peking but he did not refer to any
special sources of information in his possession.
Dispatches until late hour threw little light
upon the situation.
The representatives of the Foreign Office in
Parliament were silent. but I learned from the
best sources of information that the feeling
there was one of hopelessness and bewilderment,
and that the massacre of the Legations was re-
garded highly probable, and imprisonment of
the remnant Of the foreign garrison as barely
possible.
The sky is so heavily clou1ed with the mystery
of China, the interminable guerilla warfare in
South Africa and the famine in India that it is
hardly necessary for Earl Wemyss to borrow
trouble over the chances of an invasion of Eng
land next November and the insufficiency of
the home defenCeS. Lord Salisbury has at
tempted to break the force of these outCries of
alarm by jest about danger from shooting
stars in that month, but Lord ROsebery has
rebuked him for ill-timed optimism. The curl
Gus debate in the House of Lords Yesterday has
reflected the ominous talk which has been going
in the city for several days about the chances
of sudden attack from France when the home
defenCes the weakest. Probably these
alarms merely indicate the excessive strain TO
which Englshmen have been subjected during
the last ten months. Enormous purchases OF
Welsh coal by the Paris Government and well
authenticated reports that Dover and other
Channel fOrtificatiOnS have been secretly sur
veyed and charted by French naval experts. and
reports made upon the defences of Liverpool
and other ports, are facts upon which the
alarmists lay stress. but the stock markets are
not influenced by these sinister speculations:
