SCORN THEIR OFFER
Washington, Aug. Since mid
night the situation has taken change
for worse" declared member of rail-
way presidents subcommittee be-
fore subcommittee left for White
House at their own request this aft
ernoon to confer with president.
"The situation is very serious" he
added.
Meeting at White House lasted
only ten minutes. Leaving the White
House, Pres. Holden, spokesman of
the group, said:
1.-THE situation is not any more
hopeful than it has been"
is it hopeful at alp" he was
asked.

to that" he replied.
The subcommittee, r. S. LOvett
of Union Pacific, Daniel willard of
B. & o., and Hale Holden of Burling-
ton, expected to report result of their
visit to meeting of whole number of
railway presidents at o'clock.
Everything how depends on this
visit to White House" said one of the
three. He would not discuss what
turn negotiations had taken to make
situation worse.
Effort of railway presidents was
concentrated today on task Of put
ting railroad brotherhoods on defen-
sive. To this end they were declar-
ing generally their willingness to
grant the eight-hour day, while
showing that the concession for
which the brotherhoods are holding
out goes far beyond that.
They will concede, railway presi-
dents say:

say.
Brotherhood officials today re-
fused to see any concession in new

dents.
. 'That is the same sort of talk we
have heard for MONTHS" said one Of
hhal. THAT is not meeting the pres

The brotherhood men charged to-
day that big lines ARE lobbying the

Of an arrangement between himself
and the ccmmandant of a small de-

II just called in, Mr.. Clark" he said,
speaking with the slow, well bred
drawl of his caste, "to tell you that
some Of my fellows are full of chatter
about possible trouble in the bazaar.
1t is no secret from you that, as Cap
tain Frank is down with fever, I am
hanging about close at hand until he
is fit to take charge again. One good
turn deserves another-eh, what? He
helped me last year when every officer
in my battalion was absent, either on
active service or sick. So just want
to say that should there be anything in
this rumor and you need assistance
you can count on me and my men at
moments notice.
That's very good of you, Major
Cameron" said the consul affably.
"Of course If things should come to
boil we foreign devils must pull to-
gether, and I'll call on you at once.
But you can take it from me that in
the east there is plenty Of smoke with

signs of mutiny and massacre were
far more ominous than they are today.

Major Cameron saw that the consul
was busy. He took his cue, nodded,
saluted and went out.
Thereafter for some minutes neither
Clark nor his assistant spoke They
heard the wheels Of the majors dog

One or two minor panics had occur
red of late in the American settlement
and the consul had experienced some
difficulty in persuading his fellow coun-
trymen that If they magnifed every
petty quarrel between rival gangs Of
coolies into threatened rising against
all white men they had better leave the
country at once, because life in China
would become intolerable.
Naturally Watson was aware of his

own unaided efforts? The answer to
these questions lay on the lap Of the
gods.
Watson, chief assistant in the con-
sulate, was warned by people flying
from the city that he would be killed
without mercy once he entered the
gates. Others, too, tried to persuade
him that the marines were already en-
route with the Gatlings. But he press
ed on doggedly, well knowing that the
noncommissioned officer left In charge
of the fort would hardly abandon it
without orders during the first few
minutes of rising, while it was all i'm
portant that the city should be crossed
before the sheer numbers Of the mob
rendered such a course practically i'm
possible.
He encountered his first real difficult
ty at the main gate, which had been
closed and barred by it's guardians.
Luckily these men were In some sense
servants of the state, being subordi-
mates of the li-kin or customs board,
whose main sources Of revenue were
tapped on the river wharfs and in
the four chief entrances to the bazaar.
Until the riot developed into success

vested authority would be found
among them.
Watson therefore Numbered on the
heavy doors and clamored for admit

seen that a messenger from the con-
sulate might come by that route and
had taken measures accordingly. Prob
ably the heavy doors were difficult to

on their part might be highly danger

ty it had been decided months ago that
the consulate and its compound offer
ed better rallying ground than an an
tiquated fort in the city, a ramshackle
place which would be a death trap If
battered by artillery, but gave ade-
quate barrack accommodation to a de-
tachment Of marines. Moreover, the
fort was entirely surrounded by native
habitations, which must necessarily be
destroyed before field Of fire could
be secured, while the consulate stood
on open ground, was readily accessible
from two main roads and could be ap-
preached easily by any armed party

by the rioters about o'clock in the
afternoon, and the whole city rose in

Happily for the white people, how
ever, the mob lacked organization and
control. The fate of the community
hinged on two considerations. In the
first place, would Watson be able to
bring the American marines and Chi
nese regulars under Major Cameron to
the consulate before both parties were
surrounded by an unconquerable
swarm Of rioters? Secondly, granted
that the consulate could be garrisoned

hurried out. They were just in time
to see Chinaman, man of superior
rank if judged by his attire, endeavor-
ing to tear down the American flag
which fioated from tall mast in front
of the consular building. They ran at
the scoundrel and reached him before
Old Glory f1uttered to the ground.
None Of the three was armed or the
Chinaman would certainly have been
shot then and there. As it was, his
fight was expedited by a vigorous
kick. Mr.. Clark, like most stout men,
was singularly active on his feet and
contrived to reach the flagstaff before
either of the others.
"Well, now, what do you know about
that?" he gurgled, nor is there any
thing to wonder at in the style Of his
speech, since a man does not frame
