warning that the American legation guard

and elsewhere In the quarter the call TO

Preparations had long been made for
such an event as this, and within snort
space OF time the quarter was thoroughly
protected. outside the quarter there were
scores of foreigners-in fact, several nun

might be in great danger. The fires were
burning around many houses occupied by
foreigners.
There was not the slightest indication or
information at first as TO what IL was all
about. Rumors few thick and fast One
foreigner came into the quarter and de-
clared that he had actually seen Yuans

been killed. and that he had seen the
Presidents residence burned to the ground.
No one knew whether the trouble had
taken or would take an anti-foreign turn.
AS a matter OF fact. there was no trace Of
anti-foreignism. Houses OF foreigners

In the vicinity Of Yuan Shih-kars pala-
tial residence there was a tremendous
amount of firing. The President had
around him large number of troops
auartered within the wall which surrounds
his residence. These men Joined in the
firing. and later in the looting. The SOL
diers seemed to be firing mostly in the air,
for there were few men injured during the
night They doubtless intended by sheer
volume OF noise and show of strength to
terrify the city. They succeeded admira-
bly, and went on their joyous lootinS way.
Not only were the shopkeepers terror
stricken and helpless civilians taking 20
cover but the authorities themselves dis
appeared. and throughout that long
night the thievinE soldiery went on
with tho work absolutely unhampercd.

SHELL HITS AMERICAN LEGATION

The heaviest firing kept up more than an
hour. Then it dwindled and finally stopped
| almost altogether. Occasional shots rang
out above the thud and thump Of gum
stocks smashing their way through the
! doors of shops and stores. But there
was no real fring-the soldiers were too
| busy for that. In the early stage OF the
game a three-inch shell went shrieking
across the city and landed In the Amerl-
can Legation guard compound. IL passed
through a tent and brought up against a
| wall without exploding. number OF spent
bullets fell within the legation quarter
but none did any damage.
The two great business streets OF the
eastern city run north and south, parallel
and about a quarter Of mile apart Ihey
are Batamen. on the east, and Ting TZu-
chieh. TO the west. 1t was here that the
first footing was done The rife shots in
the distance set the soldiers on these
streets going. 1t needed no messenger 10

the fun had commenced. The soidlers
everywhere opened up with the firing ana
then set about looting.
Fires soon began to appear, first In the
northwesterly portion Of the eastern CITY

The great Tunghuamen. which stands at the
entrance OF the Imperial City, was one OF
the structures TO go. 1t is about a quarter
of a mile from the spot where the attempt
TO assassinate Yuan Shih-kai was made In
January. The street approaching the gate
is rich with shops. All were looted and
most of them were burned. Some miracu-
lously escaped the flames.
/ Down Ting Tzu-chieh the hooters came,
working both sides of the streets and set
ting fire to shops when they had yielded
their rich burden. All the business houses
IN this region were thoroughly sacked;
scores were burned. An attempt was made
TO get into the Imperial City through the
DESTROYED Tunghua gate, but battalion
of Manchu troops guarded the entrance
with machine guns and the hooters did not
proceed. These Manchu Imperial guards

about in groups. all fully armed and
smashed their way into the shops. Some
times a couple OF men were left outside to
guard their comrades at work within. The
soldiers demanded that the doors Of shops
be opened. II the order was not complied

keeper within. or II he happened TO remain
instead of running off down the street. as
did many, the doors were at once smashed

smashed.
The pawnshops and the cash shops at
tracted the greatest crowd Of looters.
Money was the first thing these men were
looking for. AS secondary consideration
they stole anything they could lay their
hands on. One saw a soldier with great
pack of goods over his back. presumably
silks and furs Others carried vases and
the like. which were doubtless thrown away
when something better was encountered.
The curio shops. OF which there are several
rich ones I'm this section. were thoroughly
looted. The fine things which were not
taken away were smashed. The rabble OF
the town Joined in the affray, following the

martial power and got what they could be-

The morning after showed clearly the de-

sad account Of the little that remained !
The day passed quietly enough and little

THE SECOND NIGHTS LooTINe.

II was well known on Friday that on
that night the west city would get its
share of trouble. How in the world it es-
oaped the night before no one knows. Sure
enough, night had scarcely fallen when
shots were heard in the west city. Pres
emily the fires started and from the Lega-
ton Quarter great blazes could be seen. 1t
seemed even worse than the night before,
and yesterday morning showed that the
work had been thoroughly done. The SOL
diers who had failed to share in the loot OF
the night before were getting their portion
now. The authorities might be excused
for their inability to stop the looting on
Thursday night. but 1t does seem that
something might have been done to prevent
a recurrence on Friday night. Had they
set Chang Kuei-u to work day sooner
the West city might have been saved.
The bravest sight of all Thursday night
was the rescue work done by me troops OF
the legation guard The outbreak was as

ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN TROOPS.

Yesterday afternoon the diplomatic corps
helI a meeting and determined to bring
one thousand foreign troops from Tientsin.
These would be of all nationalities. For
several weeks previous to the outbreak
there had been in Tientsin 2 large force OF
foreign troops Some are regularly sta
toned there. and others had been brought
IN TO guard the railway from Peking TO the
sea. This morning two hundred Americans

trouble with the Chinese. The Chinese had
