PEKING RELIEF HALTS,
Allies Are Not Advancing 70
the Capital.
SAYS SITUATION is DESPERATE.
Member of German Legation Cables
Pleading For Immediate Aid-Tidings
of Awful Tragedy Expected-Germany
VIII Clastise China.

LONDON, July 3.-The allies are not
advancing for the relief of Peking.
This announcement to the house of
commons by William st. John Broder-
lck, under secretary of state for foreign
affairs was received with exclamations
OF astonishment and dismay.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett inquired
if any information had been received
from the legations at Picking, or as to
the composition and command of the
relieving force and its present position
MIR. Broderick read the dispatches re-
celved today, said the total allied force
available is now about $1,000, as troops
have been rapidly arriving, adding:
"We do not yet know what arrange.
ments have been made locally regarding
the command of an expedition, but it
has not yet been thought possible to at
tempt further advance. The consuls
have been in communication with the
the viceroys in the Yang g-tse region,
and they are quite we'll aware that sup
port will be given them by her majesty s
government in preserving order. 1t is
obviously impossible that the represen-
tattves of the powers at Pelsing should
be consulted, as no Communications are
passing with them"
"The Situation Is Desperate. Hasten."
These words from the message of
Won Bergen, member of the German
legation at Peking, countersigned by
Sir Robert Hart, inspector general of
customs, and dated nine days ago, are
the theme of all private comment.
They are preparing for news of fright
full tragedy. Nine days ago the ammu-
milton of the little garrison defending
the foreigners was running low and
their food was nearly exhausted, while
around them was horde of Kan Su
braves, having at their service Krupp
guns and repeating rifles. Peking was
in the hands of the revolutionaries.
While nothing but sinister news
comes from northern China, southern
China is seemingly breaking away from
the empire. All the provinces south of
the Yellow river, whose viceroys and
governors maintain friendly relations
with the powers through the consuls,
have been informally constituted into a
confederacy, with Nanl1in as their cap
ital. According to all Express cable
from Shanghai, dated July 3, the south
ern viceroys wholly disavow Prince
Tuan's government. They have prac.
tically constituted an independent state,
extending from the Hoang- Ho to the
British and French frontiers. Little
else to illuminate the profound obscur-
ity of the situation reaches cable points.
The Chinese wires to Che Foo appear to
be Interrupted
st, Petersburg was informed over the
Siberian wires that the destruction of
the Russian railways in Manchuria
continues, and it seems not improbable
that Russia will be fully occupied for
time suppressing the insurrection and
may be unable to send more troops i'm
mediately to Taku
The powers look more and more to
Japan to supply the force necessary at
once to grapple with the formidable re-
belliop.

THE CHICAGO GAS DEAL.

Dispatches from Chicago yesterday said that, al
though the Ogden Gas Company had not yet actu-
ally been sold to the Peoples Gas Light and Coke
Company, the terms of the transaction had been
agreed upon, as follows: Five millions of the au-
shorized S10.0O0000 per cent ogden Gas bonds
TO be taken at par by the purchasing syndicate
which is friendly to the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company. and, besides the control the bonds
will carry S2.5oO.000 of stock which will be
authorized. The division of territory will be fixed
by an agreement running the life of the Ogden
franchise. The elimination of the Ogden as a
competitor will leave the People Gas Light and
Coke Company In control of the gas situation in
Chicago. with he exception of small gas com
pany in Cicero. The Cosmopolitan Electric fran
chise will go to the members OF the syndicate pur-
chasing the Ogden.
