letter had been received from Sir Claude
Macdonald, dated at Pekin July 4, and
appealing for speedy relief. Sir Claude
Macdonald said the garrison was unequal
to the task of holding out many days and
that already forty-four had been killed
and double that number wounded.
On July % the Navy Department re-
ceived from Captain Thomas, command
ing the cruiser Brooklyn at Chefoo, a
message from Minister Conger dated July
81, saying:
Been besieged two weeks, British le-
cation. Grave danger general massacre
by Chinese soldiers, who are Smelling lega-

army. Determined to massacre all for

From this date messages were received
at frequent intervals from several for
eign ministers. One was received in Lon
don on July 80 from Sir Claude Macdon-
aid, stating that the European forces in
Pekin had repulsed the attacks OF the
Chinese troops from June 20 to July 10,
but on the latter date an armistice had
been declared. This message was dated
at Pekin, July q. On The same daAs

barbor. 1t was not until on June % that
the allies were able to reach TENTS
and cnly then after severe engagement
with the Chinese troops. Admiral Sey-
mour's force was then reported to be
within ten miles Of Tien-tsin, and 1t was
asserted BY Chinese officials that the min
listers. legation attaches. and all foreign
residents were with him. This report,
unhappily, proved false.
A courier succeeded in reaching the al
lied camp at Tien-tsin with the news that
Admiral Seymour's force was surrounded
ten miles outside of the city and hard
pressed. A force was promptly sent to
his relief. and on June 20 the Seymour
column was brought back to Tien-tsin.
1t had been fighting continuously for nj
teen DAYS and lost many men in killed

On June 10 the most circumstanual de-

the German minister, were received at
Shanghai. It transpired that the German
minister was murdered on June IL IN
practically the manner described by the
Chinese officials three days before.

from Port Arthur, France from lndo-
China, England from India, Japan from
Toxic. England ordered seven regiments.
President Mckinley directed another reg
iment to sail from the Philippines and
several more from the United States.
Preparations for war on a huge scale
were made by every great power.
Mystery Hidden i'm Pekin.
In the meantime the walls of Pekln
covered a mystery that detied the scru-
tiny of the world. The most alarming
reports were disseminated by the Chinese
officials at Shanghai. The news Of the
murder Of the German minister was con-
frmed. 1t was gradually admitted that
all the legations but three had been de-
stroyed, and that all the foreigners had
taken refuge in the compound of the
British legation. The source Of all news
was Sheng, the Chinese director of tele-
graphs at Shanghai. He held the wires
leading to Pekin One day he would de-
clare all foreigners safe, the next he
would seemingly admit that they had
been massacred.
On July II, however, Secretary Hay
handed to the Chinese minister at Wash
ington a cipher dispatch to Minister Con-
ger at Pekin The Chinese minister had
undertaken to have the message deliver
ed and used his personal influence with
the officials at Shanghai. Nine days lat
er, on July 20, Minister WI received a
message from the governor of Shan-Tung
transmitting a cipher dispatch to the
State Department from Minister Conger.
When Translator it read:
''In British legation under continuous
shot and shell from Chinese troops. Quick
relief alone can prevent general massa-
cre.''
For three days Europe challenged the
authenticity of the Conger dispatch, still
adhering to the belief that all foreigners
had persisted on July 6. Then, on July
"a, the foreign office at London received
a dispatch from the British consul at
Tien-tsin, dated July p, stating that a

Instructing Deaf Mutes by Telephone


The medical officer of one of the lead
ing deaf and dumb institutions in Great
Britain states that he has obtained ma
terial aid from the seemingly improba-
BILE source of loud-speaking telephone
in the treatment of his patients, in the
education Of such deaf mutes as pos
sess fragment of hearing power, the
telephone being found to possess many
important advantages over the speak
ing tube usually employed. In the first
place, in arranging for this purpose,
the wires from several receivers can be
coupled up to one transmitter, and thus
teacher can instruct group of chill
dren at the same time; then again, it
is not necessary for teacher to apply
his mouth close to the transmitter, so
that pupils have full view of the ia
cial expressions and lip movement,
which is not possible when having to
direct his voice into the mouthpiece of
a speaking tube or trumpet. While
seeing the movement of the lips, the
patient has the sound conveyed close
to his ear-drum-a most advantageous
combination.

csc forts at Taku seemed to be preparing
for hostilities, and on June II, after a
council of war, an ultimatum demanded
the surrender of the Notifications. In
reply to the ultimatum the Chinese open
ed fire on the allied feet. An engagement
followed, in which the United States war
ships took no part. The forts were final
ly captured after severe struggle, in
which the allies suffered heavily.
The Taku forts no longer a menace, the
allies began the march on Tien-tsin. Rus
