they have fair understanding of the|
situation in Pekin. There is little or mol
doubt that all the foreign ministers and
their suites, excepting two or three Brit
ish attaches and of course the German
minister and the japanese secretary Of
legation, were safe up to the evening Of
the 22d inst. 1t is believed the sixty del
tenders killed were all among the ma
rines sent from flemish early in June
to guard the legations. But for the pres
ence of these guards and their heroic del
tense every foreigner in Pekin must have
persisted.
Officials in Washington believe the
members of the various legations have
been able to communicate with one IN
other, and that by throwing up defensive
walls the guards were able to keep the
enemy out of legation street
The most discouraging inference drawn
from the facts now known is that the wal
upon the legationers was made directly
by the Chinese Government. This is TIE
belief which prevails in official circles
not only in Washington but in every cap
ital of Europe. Not only have Minister
Conger, Sir Claude Macdonald and 9th
ers sent out word that the attacks were
made by Chinese troops" but maDJ
facts now known clearly corroborate theE
statements.
It is eye for eye and tooth for tooth
continues the Washington writer. TIL
governments Of France and Great Brit
ain have solemnly notified the empires
dowager, Prince Tuan and their advis
ers that the Chinese Government vii
be held to rigid accountability for tn
safety of the French and English citi
zens in Pekin. IF our ministers am
their suites PERISH, these government
have said to the Pekin junta, ''we shall
hold you personally responsible"
These ominous warnings were conveyet
through the Chinese ministers at pari
and London To these ministers signi6
cant intimations have been made tina
for murdered envoy the head of
prince Of the blood will be demanded, AM
for every secretary or attache or woman
or child the head Of a Chinese general O.
mandarin of the first class.
So far no other government has ;oinet
in these direct threats through officia
channels. The United States has giveI
no warnings, but has permitted it TO b
understood that it is eager to join in thu
campaign of punishment. That is TIL
attitude of all the other powers, save tina
Germany, through the Kaiser, has pub
licly announced policy of implacable re
taliation.

"The months of May and June are

'Let us take walk in search of them.
On slight projection of the masonry
Of a bridge or on a beam against the
wall of shed, we shall be sure to find
the moss-coyered nest of the phoebe.
This gentle-natured, plaintive-voiced
little fy-catcher will often build in the
upper part of the veranda, and, if not
driven away by the aggressive English
sparrows, may be observed at short
range as she sits close to her five white
eggs So faithful is she to her charge
that she will sometimes allow you to
touch her With your hand before she
will leave the nest. In the hole at the
end of the old wooden rain-water pipe
a little house wren has made her nest
of twigs and lined it with grass and
feathers. If we could get our hand in
side-which we cannot-We should find
six or eight small, thickly speckled
eggs. In the small woodland we are
sure to be rewarded by fresh discover
les. The first will probably be the nest
of wood thrush in crotch or on the
outstretched branch of maple; or pos
sibly it will be that of blue jay in a
scrub oak, just out of the reach of tall
mans hand. The blue jay builds tidy
nest of twigs, and lines it with finer
twigs and rootiets. If we now take a
turn along the river we see a red
winged blackbird start from some bush
or clump of bulrushes in the swampy
margin and hang fiuttering in the air,
uttering discordant cries. The mean
ing of all this commotion is, of course,
that we are disturbing his wife; but
perhaps she will pardon us if we wet
our feet to get a glimpse of the shell

a peep at Mrs. Redwing, who is plain.

RAILROADS CUT RATES.
Got the Transportation of Troops by
Violating an Agreement.

CHICAGO, May 11.--At the meeting OF
the Western Passenger Association today
1t was demonstrated that the pooling plan
entered into for the purpose of compelling
the government to pay excessive rates for
the transportation of troops had utterly
failed in its general purpose, and had been
taken advantage of by several lines to
reap nice harvest for themselves. The
fact was brought out that some of the
roads had ignored the pooling agreement
and had secretly offered the government
low rates and had received their pay ac-
cording to contract. Despite these reve-
lations, proposition will be made that
a new pooling agreement be entered into
but after working for several hours the
committee announced that 1t was unable
to agree. As a result each road will offer
its own bid to the government.
