THETAKINC OFPEKIN COMBINED FORCES MARCH Vl*. ON THE WALLED CITY AND RESC I' E I, EG ATION EKS. GRAVE QUESTION OF DIPLOMACY The Powers Now Confronted by a Consid ■ eration of What Next to Do In the CaseInternational Complications Are Likely to Arise. London, Aug. IS.-'Tokin was relieved on the night of the 15th.” This message was received la.st evening at the imperial customs office in London from the commissioner of customs in Che Foo. j Washington. Aug. 2L-The Chinese government has made formal application, through Li Hung Chang as its envoy, for the appointment of an American commissioner to bring about a cessation of hostilities in China and the restoration of general peace. This application for peace negotiations was received at the Chinese legation and was transmitted by Mr. Wu to the state department. Earl Li's request is that the United States shall name Minister Conger or some other official to act as peace envoy for the cessation of hostilities. He expressed his willingness to go to such u point as the powers may desire, and, under the intimations made, it is thought that Pekin or Tientsin would be selected for the negotiations. The Chinese envoy proposed no terms as to the withdrawal of troops and made no other suggestions as to what was to come before the commission, his sole anxiety being to secure the cessation of hostilities. The application is understood also to have been made to the powers in the hope that if all would name a commissioner there would be a general council of peace between Li Hung Chung on one hand and the several representatives of the nations on the other. Aside from the fact that the conditions on Aug. 12 have not yet been complied with by China it is probable that this government would desire to take sufficient time to learn what the other powers Intended doing on the same line, as all are acting in unison. Morover, Lore are some unexplained fears of Li Hung Chang's application, one of them being that while he asks the allies to cease hostilities he gives no assurance that be lias power to make the Chinese army and the rebellious j boxers cease their hostilities. Situation In Pekin. The situation in Pekin has been made more clear from many sources. The latest advice appears to be that from Consul Fowler at Chee Foo, repeating a dispatch received from Consul Ragsdale at Tientsin. The latter reports "Chinese troops surrounded In palace grounds.” The Japanese legation received a dispatch of the same general tenor, but mor in detail, stating that the Chinese troops retreated on the 15th within the imperial palace, and that they were surrounded there, with the Japanese military headquarters located in the Japanese legation. Admiral Remey has also transmitted an authentic report from Pekin on the 15th, saying: “Troops moving on the imperial city.” These several dispatches from different sources establish clearly that the Imperial palace and grounds were under siege. But not one of the dispatches is clear as to tow late this condition of affairs existed. The Fowler dispatch is the latest to be received and is dated the 20th, but probably that is Hie date on which it left Tientsin. The Japanese dispatch also refers to the Chinese taking refuge in the imperial palace on the 15th but does not bring the situation beyond that day. So that the latest information showing the imperial city surroumhsi, does not disclose the issue of this situation, nor how long It has continued. Late dispatches seein to make clear I that the emperor and the empress d voager have made their escape from Lesin and tlint about the only pres- ■ ent service of the imperial palace and [ grounds is ns an asylum in which the , demoralized Chinese soldiers are making a last stand. The Japanese legation's advices showed that the banners of the imperial cortege were seen leaving Pekin on the 12th and that probably the empress dowager, as well as the emperor had left .he city. DANGEROUS AMBITION Continental Europe Being Viewed Critically by Japan. London. Aug. 21.-The Chinese minister in London, Sir ' hih Chen Lo Feng LuU on l>eing asked as to the whereabouts of the emperor and empress dowager, replied: “They have gone westward to the old capital. Hsian Fu, and I think they are quite safe there." Serious trouble is now threatened in the neighborhood of Canton. The Americans at Swaiow, according to a Shanghai correspondent, have applied for a warship in consequence of serious rioting: and the Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mali says that a war ship is on the way there now. A Japanese war ship has left Yokohama for Shanghai to land troops I and to protect Japanese interest. It is also announced that Germany will I land a detachment at Shanghai. Further Yokohama advices declare that Germany and Russia are objects Os distrust to the Japanese press, which urges tlittt Japan, having ls>rne the chief burden of the operations, must sec to it that the future of China Is not determined merely by the pleoaure of the western powers, "it « ‘ elt -

says the correspondent, “that determined action on the part of Great Britain and the Lnited States and Japan will avert /iny danger arising from tiie ambition of continental Europe.” The semi-official Japanese organs say that, if occasion arises, Japan van set.d "O.imhi troops on short notice, and that if tiie powers are inclined to play a selfish game special measures will be necessary. Waldersee Starts Ont. Berlin. Aug. 21.—Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, accompanied by his staff, left Berlin- yesterday en route for China, where he will assume command of the allied forces. In a t.iskj-.iell address the emperor praised the count, and told him he would have full command. Responding to a hurricane of cheers on starting. Count von Waldersee said humorously: “We shall try what can be done there.” Cnt Their Heads Off. Shanghai, Aug 21.—Official Chinese advices from Pekin say that Hou Tung and Y1 Lien Yuan ot' the anti-foreign party, and Li Shan, a pro-foreigner, have been decapitate! and that Yung Lu has been imprisoned by Prince Ching. It is added that the emperor and dowager empress are GO miles west of Pekin under the constraint of Prince Tuan. Li Hung Chang goes north Immediately. SERVICE FOR THE DEAD Washington Officialdom Does Honor to King Humbert's Memory. Washington, Aug. 20.—Amid scenes of impressive solemnity and in the presence of the president of the United States, members of the cabinet, officers of the army and navy, the ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries, and a great concourse of people, from civil life, the memorial services for the late King Humbert L of Italy, were held at St. Matthews' Catholic church at 11 o’clock Sunday. The announcement of the services was made by the Italian ambassador. Baron Fava, and with the co-operation of tiie state department, the event was given a distinctly official character. The foreign representatives were in full diplomatic uniform, and these, with tiie brilliant uniforms of tiie British, German, Austrian and other military attaches, and of the American generals and admirals, gave a touch of brilliant coloring to the solemn pageantry. Shirt Waist Man In Court. Chicago, Aug. 21.—50 l Bloom, a music publisher, yesterday brought suit for $50,000 damages against the Union Restaurant and Hotel in Randolph street for refusing to serve aim while he was clad in a shirt waist and minus a coat.

Harder to Say No Than Ye». He was a most worthy young man, with a fondness for discussing sociological and moral questions, and once started on his hobby he could scarcely be headed in any other direction. He had been quite devoted in his attention to one young woman for as much as six months, but she bad been unable to bring him to bis senses, though she ! was willing to confess that she had tried repeatedly to do so. Os course she had done it in the delicate ways women have in those matters, but what be needed was a club. Not a great while ago he was calling as usual, and as usual he was neglecting sentiment for something that only made a girl tired. This time he was moralizing on the temptations of life and the proneness of people to yield i without making the proper effort against them in whatever form they might appear. “However,” he said in conclusion, displaying a commendable spirit of charity for the weak, “It is a very difficult thing for any one to say ‘No.’ ” Here was an unexpected chance for her. “And conversely,” she responded slowly so he could get the full force of it, “it should be very easy for one to say ‘Yes.’ ” He looked her straight tn the eyes at last, and a hush fell upon the scene. "Um-er-um." he hesitated, "Miss Kate, am I a chump?” “It is very difficult for one to say j ‘No,’ ” she said with a pretty little [ smile, and later she found it quite easy I to say "Yes.”—Washington Star. no . “Did you ask papa?” she questioned, i eagerly. "Yes, and it’s all off,” he responded, as one in a dream. ‘,’Wby. did he refuse?” “No, but he said when I asked to take you away from him I was asking to take away rhe light of his life; that the home without you would be a prison cell.” "Well, all papas say that, you big, tender-hearted fellow.” "1 know.” he responded, huskily, “but it isn’t that” “What is it, then?” “Can’t you see? He expects me to take you away from home, and I wouldn't have the nerve after he talked like that to stay—and—er—well, don't you see?” “1 see,” she answered, coldly.
