Negotiations DeadlOcked.
The Chinese situation became
more serious today from the point
of view of the United States when
Jacob Gould Schurman, the Ameri-
can minister in Picking, reported to
Secretary of State Hughes that no
progress was being made in the
negotiations to compel the Suchow
bandits to liberate their foreign
prisoners.
More pressure is being brought to
bear on authorities in Picking to
comply with the demands of the
bandits so that the American and
other prisoners may be released
forthwith. but the negotiations in
Shantung have reached a deadlock,
according to advices to the State
Department.
Officials here understand that
questions Of both money and policy
are involved in the dispute between
the Chinese government and the
bandit chiefs. with the result that
nothing whatever Is being accom-
plished.
Captives Unframed.
No fears are felt here, however
for the safety Of the American cap
tives, as none of the official dis
patches reaching here have reported
the mistreatment of any of the for
eign prisoners.
The following statement was
issued:
THE department has received in
formation from Minister Schurman
at Picking, to the effect that, &C
cording to several kilograms -e
ceived from various sources al
Lincheng, no progress has been
made in the negotiations between
the bandits and the Chinese authori
ties for the release of the captives
and there is a possibility that the
affair may drag on indefinitely.
Consul John K. Davis and Major
Phillon report on the day of May
Is that as yet no word has been
received from the bandit chiefs re-
garding negotiations. On noon oi

NEAR RIOT OCCURS
AT ORIOLES PARK

BALTIMORE. Nd, June 27.-A riot
was threatened during the Baltimore
Rochester International League game
yesterday, when a Rochester player
jumped into the stand and struck
at one of the spectators. Instantly
the stands were in uproar. and some
effort on the part of the police was
necessary to restore order.
Earlier in the game a Rochester
player threw a handful of dust into
the faces of two men sitting just
behind the visitors dugout.
The assaults were consequences Of
alleged abuse to which the players
said they had been subjected since
their arrival Saturday. A partic-
ularly strident group Of oriole sup
porters, the visitors claim. has been
gathering behind the Chiefs dugout,
shouting derisive and often obscene
remarks at the players. An auto
mobile horn used by one OF the fans
was the last straw. and the assaults
are said to have been intended for
him.
