(Continued from Flrat Page.) for the latter, tho minister declares that they aro entirely satisfied with their condi tion in thin rnnntrv nt.H fmM a rv-. 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.

Tho Shanghai correspondent of the Dally Mall says: "I can assert positively that the Chinese authorities had the news from I'ekln a week ago and that Sheng knew all the foreigners In I'ekln were dead when he anked tho American consul to cablo Washington a proposal to deliver the foreigners In safety at Tlpn Tln on condition that the allle. wou,(! suspend tbelr operation to the north of rckln."

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. whero tho foreigners wore concentrated. For two hours tho walls were battered with shells and shot and huge breaches were made In them. Then a general advance was ordered and tho Chinese Infantry, volleying constantly, moved toward tho gaps. The flro of the defenders, however, was so ac- curato and steady that hordes of Chinese soldiers and noxera broke and fled In tho .. . - . " . . - . . I wildcat contusion, leaving large nunioors ot dead and wounded around tho location. They couid not bo rallied until they were out of mo riiia range or tlio roreigucrs. "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.

MOUIIMZU HUH EIGHTY YKAHS. 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.
