for the latter, tho minister declares that
they aro entirely satisfied with their condi

suaded to return to China to give aid to any
lement outwaed to Americana.
The government hor. t atin n nt
the efforts1 made In some quarters t0 stir' up
an ngitutlon against tho peaceable Chinese
in the United States. It feels It Is lm
peratlvsly necessary to use the entire re
sources of the government to suppress- any
movement that would Jcopardlje their
safety. Anything like a massacre of Chines
In the United States would wreck tho whole
cnne of tho United States government In the
settlement which must comn out of tho
Chlneso trouble. Our government could not
demand reparation or lndcmntr from China
for whatever happens at I'ekln or elsewhere
In China It tho Chinese government, through
the' vlolcnco of our people, wcro put In posi
tion to claim a set-off growing out of vio
lence shown its people In the United Statco.
Therefore, steps havo been taken already to
havo the authorities In localities whero
there may bo dangers ot antl-Chtnesn out-
breaks prepare for tho promptest and moat-1
stern reoresHlve measures at the flret symp-
torn of trouble. And It may be stated that
there will be no halting In tho use of federal
troops for such purposes If tboy are callod
for by tho state officials
. , "
Today's news served to settle only more
fnrrlhtv in ih nmini min.i ftin i-nnvif-ilon
that the worst has happened In I'ekln.
Secretary Long Is an exception to thoso
who, now are almost firmly convinced that
tho worst has happened In I'ekln. He still
has hopes that tho ministers may bo olive
and that when reliable news la received dl-
rect from Pekln It may Bhow that many re- I
portH emanating from there havo been ex-
nggurated. He bases his hopo partly on the
opinion that the responsible heads of the
Chinese government, whoever they may be(
wlll not be so shortsighted ns to permit
such n terrible catastrophe us tho murder I
Ot the foreigners, because ot the evil con-
Beqiioiicea ot wnnt woui.i ioiiow.
Mlulster Wu Is disconsolate over the
latest reports from China and It seems cvl-
oeni inai ne nimosi nos given up uupu iuui
the milliliters aro yet allvo. At the same
tlmo he trusts that official udvtces will show
all the rumors to have been cxaggarated
and that good will come out ot evil which
now seems to overhang his government.
A cabinet member said tonight thero had
tieen no talk of any extra session of con
gress to deal with the Chinese situation, as
the authority ot tho president already avail
able wns sufficient to .deal with existing
conditions.

"Urgo tho government to send adequate
forcoH to act effectively in eoncort with

forces aro qulto disproportionate to tho In

In the northern provinces are paramount
nnd we consider It a humiliating policy to

Tho correspondent adds certain details of
affairs at I'ekln after Juno 2.".. According
to hi story, the members of the legations
made dally sorties, sometimes by night, and
so successfully as to compel tho Chinese tol
retreat from tho Immediate vicinity. These
reverses had a disheartening effect upon the
Chinese and there soon began to be open
signs ot disaffection, followed by desertions
to 1'rlnce Chlnga army, which was endeav
orlng to co-operato with the besieged. Ulti
mately, 1'rlnce Tuan decided to mako a night
attack In three powerful columns.
"At 8 o'clock In tho evening of July 6,"
saya tho correspondent, "flro was opened
with artillery upon tho Ilrltleh legation.

two hours tho walls were battered with

ordered and tho Chinese Infantry, volleying

couid not bo rallied until they were out of

"Then 1'rlnce Tuan, making a desperate
appeal, Induced them to stand and return to
the attack. Artillery flro was then re-
sumed and at the ralddlo watch a second at-
tack was attempted. Hut before the attack-
era could accomplish their object they wero
mot by Princo Chlng and General Wang
Wen Shao with their troops, who were
going to tho aid of the foreigners. A des-
perato battle' ensued between the various

Member.
LONDON, July 15. Alexandria palace pre

10,000 members of the Society of Christian
Emleavorers opened tho world's convention.
Tho night session was preceded by an after

organs In all Kngland. This was followed
by a second musical service and six simul
taneous secondary services. One-of the most
Interesting meetings was held nt Albert hall.
Crowds overflowed every available Bpace and
Is safo to say thnt seldom havo two such
religious meetings been held in the town.
On ono side ot the royal arms in the cen
ter of the Alexandria ball was plncod a ng
nlflcent picture ot the cnpltol at Washing
ton, while the opposite side boro pictures of
the houses of parliament. From walls nnd
roof hung the United States and tho Ilrltlsh

ove Story of "Uncle lllll" Stronir, the
Oldest lintel Keener.
The kind, wrinkled face of William F.
Strong will bo seen no more of man, reports
tho Chicago Chronicle. Tho oldest hotel
keeper and clerk In tho United States is
dead and his passing wao likn the "lost leaf
from tho tree." "Uncle Pill" Strong was
100 years old. Thero aro persons who said
ho had creased the century line by four
years, but tho subject ot anccdoto would not
admit this. Ho Bald he was 100 years old
or thereabouts, and thon he would lean upon
his big cane and laugh at men who wondered
t his age.
"Uncle lllll Strong In youth must have
been n man of great strength. His shoul
ders wore broad and his chest was deep and
ommanAlng. His hair in lato years becamn
as whlto as snow plastered against a church
steeple and when In conversation his voice
was so musical that ono's chair drew In
stinctively to the side of the aged man.
Thore were moments when ho would slap
himself upon tho breast nml talk about
everything but the Incidents of his life. Hls
clothing was that worn by men In ante
bellum days. The skirt of his coat tell below
his kneos.
Tho centenarian lived In a little room tn a
brick building In Chicago. For twelve years
ho slept In the same chamber, and during all
this tlmo he said little to the woman who
was mistress of the house. He camo and
departed, day after day, but had little to
say. A plcturo of himself hung upon the
east wall ot his room. Near his pillow and
acroaa the chamber was another photo
graph. It was a young woman who was
dressed in the gowns ot the 30s, and It was
hero and at her feet that tho old man died.
Undo Bill" Stroug, from the time ho at
tained his majority until be tell lifeless,
mourned tho death of a sweetheart. She
was a wlnsomo girl, as tho photograph on
the wall of his room tells, In faded and yel
low outline. Eighty years ago "Uncle Bill"
Strong pledged his love and devotion to the
maiden, who was then but 16 years ot age.
ThU was In Watertown, N. Y. The girl sud
denly sickened and was taken by wagon to
Florida, for it was thought that tho aun ot
that latitude would prove beneficial to the
invalid. Climate, physicians and attention
were of no avail, however. Tho pretty coun
try girl from Now York grew weaker and
weaker and quickly passed from life.
From that momont "Uncle Bill" Strong
was another man. He cared no more for
woman. To him the world was a black disk
In which he revolved without much care
or thought. He did not seek thn company
of men and yet he earned a livelihood as a
hotel proprietor. This In Itself was one of
tho contradictions of his lite.
Then "Uncle Bill" went to New Orleans
and became a clerk In the St. Charlca hotel,
Hero ho remained for many years, tho same
qulot, stlvor-halred old man who spoke and
smiled to bis fellows and yet was not one ot
thorn. For a greater portion of a century
his mind was rivetod to a green mound In
the SU Auguntlno graveyard and every
twelvemonth In later years ho nover failed
to visit the spot whero hi sweetheart lay
burled. Nodbody knew tho reason for hi.
mysterious disappearance or why he carrlod
flowers when be went away. Ho held In his
breast to the last the secret of his great sadr
ness and It was only a day before he, died
that he told a fragment of tho romance And
then he wished this not to be repeated.
A romance ot eighty years is of somo
lasting, but It Is all burled now. The mound
In St. Augustine and tho ono In Forest
Home, over 1,000 miles apart, cancel from
the page one story of love and single-handed

rouaed the family and went for u physi
cian. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickson ot Kansas City,
alster-ln-law ot tho sick man, was tho
first to reach the room after tho son loft.
As sho entered Eskrldgo, weak from hh Ill
ness and from loaj ot blood from the pistol
wound, ralaed himself on his elbow and
again pointed bis weapon townrd himself. A
brief struggle between the two ensued, Mrs.
Dickson trying to secure the revolver. Mo
foro ho could bo overpowercxl tho 111 man
sent a second bullet into his body and fell
backward In a faint. Two hours later ho
died, despite tho efforts of physicians.

and talked with his family as they stood
