PRISONERS IN PEKIN
Members of the Foreign Le
gations Are in Danger.
SLOW MARCH OF RELIEF COLUMN
One Hundred Tkouaad Chinese
Troop Guarding- the City's Gates
Foreigners May Seize Taka.
LONDON. June 16.-T2ils 1b the situation
In China as It appears to the Shanghai
correspondent of the Ially Express, ca
bling last evening:
"It is really a state of veiled .war. the
members of the foreign Legations In Pekln
are virtual.- prisoners, and Ihe Chinese
troops are only restrained from attack
ing them by fear of the Legation guards.
Meanwlile. the Ministers are altogether
unable to communicate with the com
manders of the relief column, -which is
maivim: an enforced and Isolated halt
between Tien Tsln and Pekln. The walls
of ..ie capital are guarded by 100.000 Im
pcria; troops. The gates are heavily de
fended with modern guns. General Tung,
acting under orders from the Empress
Da wager, says that no more foreign
troops shall enter the sacred city.
"Monday the Ministers sent a demand
to the Tsung 11 Yamun that the gates be
opened, declaring that otherwise the for
eign troops would enter forcibly. To
this ni repb was given. A second mes
sage -was unanswered, or had not been
answered when the latest news left Pekin.
Sir Ciaude MacDonald's latest message
says that the Legations are capable of
sustaining an,effective defense unless at
tacked In force."
Russia, this correspondent asserts, not
withstanding apsurancps to the contrary,
sides with China. Some of the foreign
troops are already reported to be in the
environs of Pekin, and the attitude of
the Chinese troops is Increasingly menac
ing. '
"The streets of Pekln," continues the
correspondent of the Dally Express, "are
reported to be seething with anti-foregn
mobs clamoring for the destruction of
tho Legations and the death of the foreign
Ministers. Even were tho Tsung h Ya
mun disposed to restrain the violence of
the reactionaries. It Is considered highly
Improbable that they wou'.d be able to
hold them in check. For the foreign Min
isters the crista will arise when the re
lief comes In sight of Pekin. It is still
felt here that the foreign force Is wholly
Inadequate to battle with the hordes of
Chinese troops massed outsrde the gates,
which now include the Imperial troops
from Shan Hal Kwang."
A disquieting element In the situation
Is the fact that, although the Jlusso-Chl-nese
telegraph line from Pekln. via Kl
akhta (Eastern Siberia), is working, the
transmission of messages Is rigidly re
fused. From Tien Tsln it is reported that the
foreign forces in the harbor will attack
the Taku forts, and, if necessary, bom
bard them.
Tho International column appears to bo
still at Lang Fan. engaged in slowly re
pairing the railway which, according to a
dispatch from Tien Tsln to the Da-ly Mall,
dated June 14, cannot be effected for
weeks. The force Is short pt provisions,
and. as It is without field transport. It
mun stick to the railway.
The report that tho mixed forces will
seize the Taku forts is taken to mean
that the foreign commanders expect no
aid from the Chinese Government In re
pressing the disorders, and are determined
to make Taku secure as a base from which
to operate.
XO BEPOKT FROM COSGEIU
"Army Troops In tlie Philippines- May
lie Colled tpnn.
"WASHINGTON, June 15. Nothing ha
come to the State Department from M n-
lster Conger at Pekln since last Tuesday
evening, and the offlclajs have settled to
the belief that not until the foreign relief
column reaches the Chinese capital will
Conger be able to resume the use of tne
cable.
It Is ominous that nothing hns been
heard from the United States Ccnsul at
Chin Klang since his first appeal for the
lending of a warship to that point, and It
may be that he, too, hae been isolated.
The Consul at Che Foo !p In a better
position, for a cablegram received at the
Navy Department today says the gunboat
Vorktown arrived at that port. She
will probably He at Che Foo awaiting or
ders. She is -Rithln a day's sail of Taku.
and can be summoned by Admiral Kempff
If he needs reinforcements, at phort no
tice. It is probable, however, that the
Yorktown will serve better the purpose
by rema'nlng in the vicinity of Cne Foo
as the Boxers are reported to be active
in that section.
Admiral Remey cabled the Navy De
partment as follows:
"Cavlte. June 15. At KempfTs request
I shall eend the Iris about the 20th wltr.
coal and stores for 900 men for three
months."
The Iris is a big collier and dl'flllng
ship. Nino hundred men make up trio
personnel of the flagship Newark, tho
Nashville and Monoeacy. now on the way
to Taku. and the Yorktown, at Che Foo,
With tho marine contingent ashore m
Ch!na.flgnlOyiin feature of the mes
Eage Is thWlnGlc&twI$oplnlon of Kempff
trwit the disturbance In China may be
expected to last several months at least.
It seems probable that after all the
United States troops In the Philippines
will be called on to furnish a contingent to
assist in the rescue of the foreign mission
aries in China and in the protection of
the foreign embassies and Legations. A
change has come over the administration
In this regard, for as late as yesterday
there was a firm determination not to go
beyond the employment of marines and
sailors. The newspaper report that the
Chinese Imperial troops are opposing the
progress of the relief column has given
great concern, and without doubt has had
as much to do tslth bringing about the
determination to increase the United
States force as the direct appeals of the
friends of the missionaries in the United
States.
That the crisis is by no means passed,
but. on the contrary, is rather more acute.
Is evidenced by a cablegram received by
the State Department this morning from
the United States Consul at Tien Tsln.
He says the mobs are in control of the na
tive city of Tien Tsln and the authorities
do not seem able to do anything with
them. He adds that the foreigners In Tien
Tsln ure still safe. The surprising fca.
ture of this telegram Is the announcement
that the Boxers are operating free under
the very guns of the men-of-war. for It if
understood that se-veral gunboats are ly
ing off Tien Tsln, which Is also the depot
of" the re'lef column.
Fortunately the Kashvllle and Monoeacy
ore just about due at Taku. and one or
both vessels will soon be able to command
the situation at Tien Tsln.
LANDING OF FOREIGN SOLDIERS.
Japan Reftmed. to Be Outdone hy
Russia.
NEW YORK, June 15. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Russian and Japanee troops are on
their way to Pekln. These forces are
supplementary to those landed by the
naval squadrons at Taku. and so far as
known here are sent without seeking the
approval of the other powers. Certainly
the United States has not been aj
proached. It Is presumed here that Rus
sta. bent on counterbalancing the pre
ponderance of British marines In the
relief column, ordered her troops to pro
ceed from Port Arthur. Upon being In
formed of the action the St. Peters
burg Government, and of the murder of
one, and perhaps three regiments, de
kla, Japan decided that Its Interests de
manded that It be represented by a strong
military force. It Is thought that at least
one. and perhays three regiments, de
pending upon the number of troops sent
by Russia, have been ordered out by Jap
an. It Is the belief of officials that the
action of Russia and Japan Is due to
the cutting off of communication with
Pekln. The general expectation Is that
Great Britain will now land additional
troops.
While It was reported in diplomatic
quarters that Russia and Japan would
send an equal number of troops, inquiry
failed fully to confirm this statement. It
was added, however, and this was con
firmed In several quarters, that the pow
ers were still acting in concert. The
grave danger of the landing of foreign
troops lies In their unwillingness, usually,
to act under an officer of a foreign de
tachment, and- the strong possibility that
their government will not withdraw
them. A diplomat pointed out today that
the Japanese troops would not like serv
ing under a Russian officer, and that the
Russians dislike obeying the orders of
an English or Japanese officer.
PAP TING PU AFFAIR.
Particulars ef ihe First Battle With
Boxers.
CHICAGO. June 15. A special io the
Tribune from Victoria, B. C. says:
News is brougnt by steamer of the battlo
wh'ch occurred May 28 oouth of Pao Ting
Fu. After seven hours fighting the Chris
tians succeeded In defeating and routing
the Boxers with a loss of 70 killed, the
victors having one killed and six wounded.
It seems that a mob of 2000 Boxers at
tacked the Roman Catholic villagers, near
ly all converts of the Roman Catholic
missions, who had anticipated the attack
and were well armed, whereas the attack
ing Boxers were armed only with Iron
show poles, hatchets, clubs, stones and
knives. The Boxers came right on Into
the gates of the city, which were left
open, and as they entered, carrying their
flags with yellow ground and red border,
and their Josses in a big car, the
villagers poured in a heavy fire
from some of the near-by houses. Attack
after attack was made, and every time the
attacking Boxers were carried back. ' At
length, after seven hours' fighting, the
rebels fled In disorder. The villagers
afterward counted no less than 70 dead
Boxers, besides many wounded.
APPROVED BY STRIKERS
PROPOSITION TO SETTLE THE ST.
LOUIS TROUBLE.
A RADICAL STEP.
Powers Consider the Question of De
throning; the Empress.
NEW YORK. June 15. A cpeclal to the
Herald from Washington says:
Although the suggestion has neen put
forth In diplomatic quarters here that
the cowers dethrone the Empress Dow
ager and restore Emperor Kwang Su. no
official representation has been made to
Secretary Hay on the subject, and the
Administration does not contemplate
adopting such a policy. This statement
Is made on the highest authority, havinn
been evoked by a Shanghai report that
the American. English and Japanese Min
isters at Pekln had agreed on this course.
A diplomat who discussed the question
of such action this afternoon said he did
not believe the powers could agree on a
policy of this kind. The Empervr is In
poor health, and if he should die. it
would be necessary for the powers to
designate his successor, which would lead
to serious complications. It Is believed
that the presence of large bodies of for
elgn troops will have a great moral effect
not only upon the Empress Dowager, but
upon the Chinese generally. If the pow
ers can hold the head, the body can be,
it Is thought, easily controlled.
Steps Talten hy France.
PARIS. June 15. At the Cabinet coun
cil today, the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs announced that the telegraph line
to Pekln had again been cut. The latest
dispatch from the French Minister there,
he added, was dated the evening of June
12, and said the Chinese Government had
Informed him that It would not oppose
the foreign detachments entering Pekln.
The French Consul at Tien Tsln. M. del
Casse announced, had cabled that all was
quiet within the French concession there,
which was guarded by French and Rus
sian troops. Finally, Del Casse vId. a
swift, flrst-class cruiser had been or
dered to proceed to Taku to reinforce
the French naval division at that place.

LONDON AT NIGHT.
Scenes In the Market Places the
Last of the Weclc
The Atlantic
If you wish to see another phare of life,
go out on a Saturday evening, starting on
a Beecham Pill 'bus, and keep to the
poorer dlatrlcts, from 9 o'clock on to 11,
alighting now and then to stand with
the crowd In the narrower thoroughfares.
It Is a market night, and the streets
will be a moving mass of men and women
buying at the hucksters' stalls. Dverj
tlrtng that can bo sold at a stall is there;
fruit, vcgetab.es, meat, fish, crockery, tin
ware, children's clothing, and cheap toys,
boots, shoes- and sunbonnets, all In reck
less confusion. The vendors cry their
wares Jn stentorian tones, vying with ono
another to produce excitement and in
duce patronage, while gas Jets are stream
ing into the air from the roofs, and flar
ing from the sides of the stalls, children
crying, children dancing to the strains of
an accordion, children quarreling, children
scrambling for the refuee fruit. In. the
midst of this spectacle, this din and up
roar, the women are chaffering and bar
gaining quite calmly, watching the scales
to see that they get their full penny
worth or slxpennyworth of this or that.
To the student of faces, of manners, of
voices of gestures; to the person who
sees unwritten and unwritable stories In
all these groups of men, women and chil
dren, the scene revea'-s many things; come
comedies, many tragedies, a few pia.a nar
ratives (thank Godl). and now and then,
only now and then, a romance. As to the
dark alleys and tenements on the fringe
of this glare and brilliant confusion, this
Babel of sound and ant bed of mov.ng
life, one can only surmise and pity and
shudder: close one's eyes and ears to it
a. little, or one could never sleep for
thinking of it, yet not too tightly lest one
sleep too soundly, and forget altogether
the seamy side of things. One can hardly
believe that there Is a seamy side when
one descends from his traveling observa
tory a little later, and stands on West
minster bridge, or walks along the
Thames embankment. The lights of Par
liament House gleam from 100 windows,
and all along the dark shadows by the
banks thousands of colored disks of light
twinkle and dance and glow like fairy
lamps, and are reflected In the silver sur
face of the river; that river, as full of
mystery and contrast In its course as
London Itself where 1 euch another? It
has ever been a river of pageants, a
river of sighs; a river Into whose placid
depths Kings and Queens, Prince? and
cardinals, have whispered state secrets,
and poets have breathed Immortal lines;
a stream of pleasure, bearing daily on
Its bosom such a freight of youth and
mirth and color and music qs no other
river in the world can boast.
Rapid Time to the Orient.
Philadelphia Record.
From London to Bombay in 11 days is
the remarkable programme laid out hy
the Peninsular &, Oriental Steamship
Company. The Journey will be made by
the British route, and Involves faster time
than is usual on Italian railways. The
chief item is the voyage from Suez to
Bombay, which is made at the rate of
17 knots an hour.
It Provides for Reinstatement hi the
Ken, TVlthont Reference te the
Union er for Arbitration.
ST. LOUIS, June 15. By a practically
unanimous vote the striking railway
union men decided today to accept the
new proposition presented by their exe
cutive committee and to empower the
executive committee to settle on the baa's
of the clause regarding reinstatement
without reference to tho union. This ac
tion was brought about through the In
fluence of Samuel Gompersv President of
the American Federation of Labor, who
arrived In St. Louis last night and was
present at the mass meeting which was
held at the West End Coliseum this
morning. A new plan of settlement is
now In the hands of the executive com
mittee. It varies but little from the pre
vious proportion, except In the para
graph which provides for the reinstate
ment of the men. The paragraph leaves
the executive board free to negotiate
with the Transit Company to secure the
best terms possible or to arrange for an
arbitration of the quen'ion. It Is no long
er demanded that all strikers shall be
taken back.
At the Coliseum meeting Clarence Rlcn
eson, the orator of the strikers, and sev
eral others of their leaders held out
stoutly for the demand that all or none
of the men be returned to work. Mr.
Gompera plainly stated that a settlement
on that basis was absolutely impossible.
He said If the men held out for that they
would never get It. Mr. Gompers then told
them that up to the present time there
had been too many men working on the
settlement. After some discussion this
action was taken by a practically unani
mous vote.
At 4:20 o'clock the new proposition was
presented to Judge Henry S. Priest, at
torney of the Transit Company, who took
the matter under advisement and said
the company would return Its answer
tomorrow.
Cars on all the Transit Company's lines
were apparently runnlrg with as much
regularity and an free from Interference
as before the strike. The officers of the
company state that during the past two
weeks they have received applications for
employment from several hundred strik
ers. The only trouble of a serious nature
experienced last night was an attempt to
blow up a mall car on Broadway and
North Market street.
Up to date the strike has cost the tax
payers of the city over Jl.000,000 for pro
tection alone, not taking Into account the
heavy less sustained by merchants and
citizens generally, as well as that of the
Transit Company and Its striking employes.

NEW YORK, June 15. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to
morrow: A season of declining prices Is never
wholly agreeable to business men whose
stocks are losing their values. Yet there
are times when the return to the highest
prosperity In business is not possible ex
cept through readjustment ot prices. The
highest prosperity the country had ever
reached prior to the panic, was in 1S32,
with prices averaging not quite 75 per cent
of their average In 1S60. After great de
pression for several years, the highest
point reached with last year's recovery
was 0 per cent In March, but the gradual
yielding has already returned the general
average of prices to a shade less than
75 per cent, practically where It was with
the highest prosperity t in 1S02.
The output of Iron .furnaces June 1 was
136.37G tons weekly, an increase of 2m25
tons, making the yield only 1C3S tens less
than at the highest point ever reached
February 1. But the Increase of unso.d
stocks to 339.4S0 tons, about W.OOO tors in
May, discloses a larger decline than was
expected In the new business upon which
nearly all the works and furnaces have
now to rely, and reports that furnaces of
conslderable capacity have already been
closed -this month seem likely to be cor
rect. Within a week or two, the labor
organizations- and the employers will be
discussing new demands for higher wages
and shorter hours, nnd the closing of many
works for lack of orders will have much
Influence about that time. Prices are grad
ually changing. Anthracite No. 1 to $20, and
Pittsburg grey forge to $17 50, and sales
of bars are reported there at 515 50. After
tho closing of furnaces and works has
more nearly adjusted the present supply
to the demand, the fact that many large
operations are held back until prices have
been readjusted will have Its proper in
fluence. Wheat has advanced nearly 3 cents, with
accounts of extensive Injury to growing
graip. and the exports from Atlantic ports,
flour included, have been in two weeks of

BETWEEX-SEASOXS DULLNESS.
Yet Trade, on the Whole, Is Satis-
factory.
rrLYK' JunJ 15.-Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
1 JfaSUred .by recent records and recol
lections of business activity, the present
between-seosona dullness seems specially
marked, and the reactionary movement of
prices makes trade look worse than it
really is. Judged by such Indicators as
railroad tariffs and statistics of foreign
trade, the volume of buslrfess doing is
considerably larger than a year ago
when, it will bQ recalled, trade was cheerl
fully active. It is true bank clearings
are considerably smaller than last year's
clearings, which undoubtedly included
much of the speculative character this
year almost wholly absent; and yet
outside of the metropolis bank clearings
are heavier this year than last.
The cereal markets have held the bulk
of tho advance shown last week on the
strength of bad crop reports, but foreign
recognition of conditions here has .not
sought the direction of Increased takings
jl.iu owcusu remaining in wheat Is little
below that actually harvested a year ago.
and owing to tho favorahlA rnnHitin i
the Southwest and on the Pacific Coast
the general average on June 1 is better
than a year ago. but Snrlmr whpnt
Ing to lack of rain, promises much less
iavoraoie resu.ts.
Wool Is dull, and, on the whole, weak
In tho East, while good prices have been
secured In the West, Manufacturers are
not buying, because their business Is not
active, and lower rates for the next
llghtwe.ght season for men's wear goods
are predicted, though leading mm agent3
will guarantee prices as late as October.
Lower prices for Iron and steel havo
not met expectations of causing a reduc
tion In output and Increased stock, though
this latter feature apparently has been
magnified because supplies of high-grade
pig Iron are still scarce, particularly so
at tho South. On the other h,and, low
grades are In plentiful BUpply, with little
demand. Further shading of pig Iron
quotations are reported East and West.
and the possibility of a 23 per cent re--striction
of production Is reported under
consideration by leading iron producers.
A significant feature Is the expressed de
sire of large ore consumers that deliveries
be held back. Ralls and structural steel
are still well held, but there is talk of.
a reduction In prices for the latter pro
duct. The other metals are dull, and
on the whole weak.
Wheat, Including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate i,$78.029 bushels,
against 4,230,221 bushels Inst week. 2.794.471
bushe's in the corresponding week of 1899,

This Action Was Taken liy Resents
on Account of Friction Between
President and Professors.
.MOSCOW. Idaho. June 15. Tho board
of regents this morning announced that
they had declared vacancies in the fac
ulty of the University as follows:
Joseph P. Blanton. president: Alfred S.
Miller, professor of mining; Frederick A.
Huntley, professor of horticulture; An
dette Bowman, professor of freehand
drawing; Hal T. Burns, assistant chem
ist. The announcement of the changes, In
the faculty produced a pronounced sensa
tion. In an interview today, three of tho
regents said "that they wero acting for
the best interests of the university: that
for many months there had been friction
between President Blanton and Profes
sors Miller and Huntley, and that this
was impairing the work of the university.
They stated that the matter had reached
such .a point that it was necessary to
make a change.
"We felt." they said, "that to put an
end to the discord we would let out both
factions."
It is evident, however, that there was
a division among the regents. Goode and
Parkinson " wero among those who op
posed' the removal of the president.
An incident occurred at the depot this
morning. Many students had gathered to
take the train for their homes. TJirea
cheers were proposed for "President Blan
ton and the 'regents who had supported
him. This was given, followed by jeers
for the regents who had voted against
the president.

In Financial Slarlccts.
NEW YORK, June 15. Bradstreefa
financial review tomorrow will say:
Extreme dullness has prevailed in the
market all week, and speculation seems to
be at a complete standstill. It is. in fact,
many months since the amount of com
mission house business on the New York
Stock Exchange has been at so low an
ebb Investment values are, it Is true,
firmly held, and the current prices In
tho bond market show that Income-yielding
securities of the better class are n
poor supply, and that the demand for
them continues to be good, though by
no means active. On the other hand,
speculative trading is left almost entirely
to the professional element In the stock
exchange, and the current transactions
represent little more than an exchange
of contracts between individual elements
In the board-room. In such quarters there
Is. on the whole, a. preponderance of bear
ish sentiment.
It is argued that the political situation
i3 by no means certain, and that from
the tlmo the conventions of the leading
National parties are held until November
there will be a general feeling of un
rest In business and financial circles,
which cannot fall to adversely Influence
stock market prices. Railroad earnings
also naturally exhibit, in some cases, de
creases from the records of last year, and
are, it is urged, likely to be influenced by
tbo decreased activity of business and
the prospect of reduced crops. The
drought In the Northwest, and what Is
considered a partial failure of Spring
wheat throughout Minnesota and the re
gions to the west would have also caused
some revision of opinion in regard to the
presumed permanency of railroad pros
perity. In fact, the action taken Friday
by tho Northern Pacific directors In de
claring 1 per cent on the common stock.
