tariff bill, in the section which deals

proposition, has in the Judgment of

any nation is discriminating against
the United States in its system of

and tariff concessions which can be
made effective by the proclamation
of the president without the necessity

was in the greatest danger and the
lives of the students threatened from
all sides
The students came to school as
usual she writes, Talthough firing
was going on and conditions were
much disturbed. All were too excited
to study. The students were afraid
to leave the school and they could
see fires flaring up all over the city.
All through the night we were in
state of siege. Finally the English
consul sent us a guard of three SOL
diers. The guards were compelled to
fire on the rioters several times.
"At last the consul returned and said
he could spare but one man. We
hung Turkish flags on each side of
the building but this did not stop the
rioters from firing at us. The wo-
men and girls had to carry water to
fight the fire, which was hemming us
in on every side. Then we learned
that Rogers and Maurer had been
killed while fighting the fire. They
were brought to our dining room dead.
Mrs. Rogers was there with her ten
weeks-old baby.
Next our guard of one man dis
appeared and we were left unpro
tected. Thus we passed two days and
nights. The greatest danger was to
the girls, so we finally succeeded in
smuggling these to another house
across the street.
