RIOTS CONTINUE

PEKIN- Special Looting and
rioting has again broken out here, and
three incendiary fires are raging in the
heart of the city.
Fresh disaffection resulted in de-
sertions of hundreds of soldiers, who

against them.
The night was one of terror for half
the city, and pickets were on the alert
about the legation quarter where the
foreigners are staying.
After Intellectual efforts to drive the
mutineers from their stronghold, a
large area OF the western quarter was
given over to them, and no efforts
made to dislodge them.
Fears are expressed that the attacks
on missionaries in the Pao Ting Flu
district is the beginning of the long
dreaded anti-foreign outbreak.
Anti-foreign feeling about Pao Ting
Flu is particularly bitter. All of the
missions there have been turned into
temporary block houses for the pro-
lection of the Christianized Chinese
women and children who have sought
shelter.

anew within the last six weeks, anent
the struggle and rivalry which has
developed between President Taft and
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
The evidence of il came to light
yesterday in story which tends to
confirm a rumor that there may be
