Tide of Conflict Is Rolling Eastward, Toward Walls of Capital Fighting l2 Miles Away
Great Britain, France And Holland Follows U. $. Lead And Sends Rein forcements To Legation Guards

Picking, May i, (By Associated Press) The battle for possession of Picking was still continuing this morn- ing with the advantage apparently go- ing to the forces of Gen. Wu Pei Flu. driving toward the capital from the south.
 Advices from the center of the fighting, 12 miles southwest of the city, were that Gen. Wu was fore ing the soldiers of Gen. Chang Tso- lin from Changsintien. and that the tide of battle was rolling eastward to- ward the southern walls of Picking.
 Wu Pei-Fu's army this afternoon had arrived at point on the rail- road between Fixing and Tien Tsin The telegraph staff at the station at Fengtai reported that soldiers were approaching. Part of Wu Pei-Fu's army was reported marching across the country to attack Chang Tso-Lin south of Tien Tsin.
 Traffic Is Blocked.
 Gen. Chang Tso-Lin is personally occupying special train at Chungl- angcheng, midway between Tien Tsin and Haiku. Traffic be- tween Picking and the sea, conse- ouently has been blocked.
 The Portuguese minister here, who is dean of the diplomatic corps, filed a protest asserting that this was a violation of the 1902 protocol. He said unless the line was opened inn mediately the allies would be com pelled to guard the railroad.
 The protocol provides for uninter- rupted traffic between Picking and Shanhaikuan, which is the northeast terminus of the great wall.
 Fighting Diminishes.
 Fighting around Picking has dim inished as result of the retirement of Chang Tso-Lin's army from the immediate vicinity. Chinese inhabit- ants said today the wounded and dead found outside the walls of the city indicated the fiercest fighting that had taken place in recent Chinese history.
 It develops today that Gen. Feng Yuh Slang, the Christian general" who commanded Wu Pei-Fu's opera tions in the battle of Changsintien. employed effective tactics. He with drew south of Changsintien for the purpose of drawing Chang Tso-Lin's forces away from their positions. When they pursued, the Christian generals soldiers turned and delivered heavy fire, causing 15,0o0 of Chang Tso-Lin's men to scatter into the hills. Feng Yuh Slang followed up this re- treat, took bridge and crossed the river. Wu Pei-Fu's plan is thought to be to drive the Manchurian general toward Tien Tsin.
 Cruisers Arrive.
 Three Chinese cruisers are reported ', to have arrived at Shanhaikuan, aim- ing to cut off Chang TsoLin's rear.
 The powers represented here are watching events closely. A French gunboat and a British gunboat have arrived off Taku and an Italian gun boat is expected.

CHICAGO, June 5.--Wheat under

day largely as a result of ideal
weather TO promote the harvest in
the southwest The closing was un
settled. but u to 2ss cents net lower

Der 113ss TO 113A. Corn lost Is to ss
cents; oats finished 11s off to 1ac UP
and provisions at gains of 2la to II
cents.
Sentiment in the wheat trade was
decidedly bearish to start with but
changed somewhat later Aside from
flattering crop reports, especially
from Kansas, the trade here was
looking for lower quotations from
Liverpool tomorrow after the holi-
day interim. Increase of the domes-
tic visible supply total counted also
as a depressing factor. Moreover
milling demand was slow, and there
were advices that cutting of new
wheat was in progress as far north
as southeastern Missouri. Crop re-
ports from the soft wheat states were
extremely optimistic. and increased
yields in this section We're expected
to outweigh any deficiency in the
west and of the hard winter belt
Spring wheat accounts were favor
able as a rule but extremely high
temperatures were reported in west
ern Canada. There were deliveries
of 10000 bushels of wheat here to-
day on June contracts but hard Win
ter wheat though sold at two cents
over July late in the day recovering
from an early decline.
Corn and oats reflected the weak
ness of wheat, and oats touched the
lowest prices yet this season.
Higher quotations on hogs led to
an upturn in the provision market al
though for while more than offset
0y the bearish course of grain value.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Offerings of

the week end, notably the publicity
given to the promotion phases of the
Republic Midvale International and

speculation of pools in comparatively
obscure specialties provoked short
selling and liquidation for the long
account.
