WASHINGTON WAKING UP.
Must Provide More Forces to Rescue Our
Legation.


Washington, June 1s.-It seems
probable that after all, the United
States troops in the Philippines will
be called upon to furnish contingent
to assist in the rescue of the foreign
missionaries in China, and in the pro-
lection of the foreign embassies and
legations. A great change has come
over the administration in this regard,
for there was a firm determination not
to go beyond the employment of
marines and sailors. There was still
such a purpose when the cabinet met
last and there is even now DISPOSE
ton to limit the United States forces
employed to the navy, if sufficient
force can be secured from that branch
of the service.
The consul at Tien Tsin cables that
the mobs are in control of the native
city of Tien Tsin and the authorities
do not seem to be able to do anything
with them. He adds that the foreign
ers in Tien Tsin are still safe. The
surprising feature of this telegram is
the announcement that the Boxers are
operating freely under the very guns
of the men of war, for it is understood
that several Russian gunboats are
lying off Tien Tsin, which is also the
depot of the relief column.

Japan's Rice Crop Poor.

Philadelphia, June 1s.-The United
States is to have a new customer for
its corn and eornmeal Owing to the
failure, to large extent, of the rice
crop in Japan, commission merchants
in the Far East have been making
urgent inquiries for American bread
stuffs, and an effort is being made to
make the initial shipment in trade
which, when established, will increase
the export business of the United
States by several million dollars a
year,

IS ALREADY ACTUAL WAR.
The Empress Dowager Says mo
More Foreign Troops"
LEGATIONS ARE HEMMED IN.

Shanghai, June 1s.-It is really a
state of yelled war. The members of
the foreign legations in Pekin are
virtually prisoners; and the Chinese
troops are only restrained from at
tacking them by fear of the legation
guards.
Meanwhile, the ministers are alto
gether unable to communicate with
the commanders of the relief column,
which is making an enforced and
Picking. The walls of the capital are
guarded by 100000 imperial troops.
The gates are heavily defended with
modern guns. General Tung, acting
under orders from the empress dowa-
ger, says that no more foreign troops
shall enter the sacred city.
The ministers sent demand to the
tsung-i-yamen that the gates be open
ed, declaring that otherwise the for
eign troops would enter forcibly. To
this no reply was given. A second
message went unanswered, or had not
been answered when the latest news
left Picking.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest mes
sage says that the legations are capa-
BILE of sustaining an effective defense
unless attacked in force.
THE streets of Peking," says cor
respondent, ARE reported to be seeth-
ing with anti-foreign mobs, clamoring
for the destruction of the legations
and the death of the foreign ministers.
Even were the tsung-li-yamen disposed
to restrain the violence of the reaction
aries, it is considered highly improba-
BILE that they will be able to hold them
in check. For the foreign ministers,
the crisis will arise when the relief
column comes in sight of Peking.
''It is still felt here that the foreign
force is wholly inadequate to battle
with the hordes of Chinese troops
massed outside the gates, which now
include the imperial troops from Shan
Hai-Kwan."

editor of the Hartford Press, back in

from the composing-room one day,
and, facing Mr.. Warner, said: "Mr.

army" With mingled emotions of
pride and responsibility, Mr.. Warner
replied that it pleased him that the
man felt the call of duty. ooh, it isn't
that" said the truthful compositor,
"but I'd rather be shot than set your
copy."-Hartford Courant.
