Senator Davis OF Minnesota Says Chinese
situation 10 Serious. IL.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-1n the
opinion of Senator Davis of Mime
apolis, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign affairs, the situation
in China is even more grave than the
published dispatches would indicate,
and may develop into an international
problem such as the powers have not
had to deal with in many years.
mo man can tell what will come
out Of the present situation in China,'
said Davis. II shall be agreeably dis
appointed if the immediate conse-
which it will take years to straighten
out. Moreover, generations to come
may find that in awakened China the
western world has brought into ex-.
istence giant which will insist upon
taking part in affairs at inopportune
moments. 1t seems inevitable that
China will be part,tioned. Certainly
the acting empress will be dethroned.
This cannot be done without war,
which will probably repeat itself many
times. 1t must be remembered, too,
that in China lives fully one-fourth of
the worlds population. If we force
upon the yellow race our methods, and
in China they are accepted as readily
as they have been in Japan, we will
create force which will be sure to
work a great influence upon the future
history of the world. l look on the
present crisis as more important than
any that has arisen since our own
civil war"

The Russian relieving force arrived

troops under Generals Tung Fab Slang

and set on fire five European buildings.
Nothing definite is known as to the
result, except that the Chinese were
disappointed, although other reports,
utterly discredited by foreigners here,
are that the Chinese, lnfuriated by the
destruction of Tal1u, have since mas
sacred all the foreigners in Peking."
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French.

been killed. The English at Shanghai
think that the Chinese had foreign adj
Taku, because of the precision with
which their attack was delivered.
The wires connecting with the har-
Dor mines were cut by the boats of the
warships the night before the bonn
bardment. 1t is now reported at
Shanghai that it was on board the
Russian cruiser Korietz, and not the
Mandschur, that the explosion oc-

than fifty. 1t is reported that no
fewer than 700 Chinese were killed in
the forts.

600 men for immediate transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted ar
