This is the sit nation in China as it appears to the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, cabling lastT evening: "It is really a state of veiled war. The mem bers of the foreign legations' in Pekin are virtually prisoners,, and the Chinese troops are only .restrained from attack ing them by fear of the legation guards. -'Meanwhile the ministers are alto '. get her unable to communicate with the commanders of the reliefcolumn, which is making an enforced and isolated halt between Tien Tsin and Pekin. The walls of the capita! are guarded by 100, 000 imperial troops. The gates are heavily "defended by : modern guns. General Tung, acting under order trom the Empress Dowager, says that no more foreign troops shall enter the sacred city.-- .'.-.:. 'On Monday the 'ministers sent a demand to the Tsung Li Yamen that the gates be opened, declaring that otherwise the foreign troops would en ter forcibly. :To this no reply .was given. A second message went unan swered. or had not been answered when the latest news left Pekin. : "Sir Claude Macdonald's latest mess age says that the legations are capable ot sustaining an effective defense un less attacked in force." - Russia, this correspondent asserts, notwithstanding the assurances to the contrary, sides with China. Some of the foreign troops are already said to be in the'envinons of Pekin, and the attitude of the: Chinese troops is in creasingly menacing. i - "The streets of Pekin." continues the correspondent of the Daily Express, "are reported to be seething with anti foreign mobs, clamoring tor the dv struct km of the legations and the death of the foreign ministers, j Even were the Tsung Li Yamen disposed to re strain the violence of the reactionaries, it is . considered highly improbable, rhat they would be able to hold them in Icheck. For the foreign ministers' a x orisis will arise when '.the relief comes in sight of Pekin. "It is still felt here, that the loreign force is wholly inadequate to. battle with the hordes of Chinese troops :iia-sed , omide. tne, gates which now include the imperial troops from ..Shi.i Hai Kwang." sThe'Jisqtiieting element in the sitnar ,tion is the; ' fact that, although the "Russo Chines telegraph line frgfin -Pete i. via Kiakhta 4 Eastern Siberia) is "working, the transmission of messages is rigidly refused. , j ' - From Tien Tsin it is reported that the foreign forces m the harbor will at tack the Taku forts, and if necessary bombard them. The International col umn appears to ber still at Lang Fan, -engaged in slowly repairing the Tail way. . j , ANXIOUS FOR CONGER. ' Washington, June 15, rAt the cabinet meeting today, much of the time was " devoted to a discussion of the Chinese situation. The severance of communi cation with Pekin, and the failure to hear from Minister Conger for sixty hours, naturally creates considerable anxiety. .-.-''. ,!. .- i 1 V tO TAKE THE FORTS. ;: Tien Tsin, June I.

Owing . to their natural ' reluctance to employ troops in China, save ara last resort, and the disinclination of the. War De partment to supply such troop except under pressure, the otricials this after noon were considering an alternative 1 proposition.; This . contemplated the .putting out of commission of several big ships attached to Admiral Remey lUet, notably the Oregon, and the ad 'dition of sailors and marines so released Ao Admiral KempfTs landing forces The big ships carry on an average more than. 300 men each. evacuated their position during thi night of June 12th. They had paid so much attention to strengthening their flanks, that thietr cerrtre was weakly held and as soon ad this became evident, ui June I h. I directed Gen-Ian Hamilton to attack, die moved against uiamona Hill wkh Suffolk, Derbyshires and City Imperial volunteers, supported on the left by the Guards brigade under Gen. Jones. -r ': f "It was grand, seeing the way our men advanced over difficult ground, and under hear rire. The casualties, I am thankful try say. were less than 1 00, a very small number considering the na tural strength of the position which, had to fee-earned. . ' ' fOur seizure of tDiamondf Hill caused the Boers to feel they were practically surrounded, and this resulted in their hasty retirement.

Page, of Portland, vice-president of the Salem Light & Traction Company, and J. U Howard, of San Francisco, a member of the board of directors of the London & San Fran cisco bank, the new owners of the local electric light and street railway plant. Neither ot" the gentlemen would grant any detailed interview, simply an nouncing that very material improve ments would be made in the equipment of the company's power station and also in the construction of the several miles of road-bed in this city. Mr. Howard left for San Francisco yesterday morn ing and it is rumored that the San Francisco firm may send as man to Sa lent to personally manage , the affairs of the company. The operation of the plant at present costs approximately $12,000 for fuel, an expense that is largely, in fact, slmost entirely, respond sible for the company's straitened cir cumstances. It is understood the new management proposes to dispense with this enormous expense by the substitu tion of water power for the present steam arrangement. In view of the contemplated change it is unofficially reported that negotiations are, pending for the leasing and possibly the , pur chase, by the new .company, of the brick mills on North Front street, where splendid water power is available.. It is further reported that in event 'the Salem Flouring Mills Company dis poses of its Front .street property soon, it will begin work by July 1st. on " a ne mill to occupy the site of the old institution on Commercial street. If the mill company should fail to unload its Front street property, however, the same report has it that no mill will be built in Salem this year, that the com pany will simply maintain a purchasing agency at this point this year and build at a subsequent date. , Famous Strains Now- In the- Babbitries In galena aad Nearby Points High tirades In Demand.
