LONDON, July 7. Truly Great Britain Is
the land of sport. The British soldiers ara
lighting a barbarous enemy In tho far east
in a dramatic endeavor to Eavo tho IIm-s of
soiuo of ttdr fellow countryman nnd main
tain their country's prestige; Drltlsh sol
diers aro engaged In a similar task In
Ashantl, where Drltlsh officers, women and
children nro In danger of being massacred
by revolted eavagco, and 250,000 llrltlshers
are Btlll grappling with tho Btupeiiious mil
itary and civil duties that must bo over
come before South Africa Is pacified. Yet
at homo racing, cricket, running, rowing,
polo, tennis and athletic contcatR of nil de
scriptions hold practically undiminished
sway over public Interest.
It la true that Henley week, no a social
occasion, has been more sllmly attended
than for years past and tho gorgeous bum
mer toilets did not blossom as usual on the
banks of tho Thames. Hut, while noclcty
dessrtsd Henley, there was no diminution
lu the quality of tho rowing or In tho inter
est of those who watch Henley for its
sporting rather than for Its social features.
Tho war aud the weather were chiefly re
sponsible for society's absence from the
great river carnival. Tho beginning of tho
week was so wretchedly wet and cold that
many persona cancelled their projected
trips. The Oxford-Combrldgo cricket match
did not suffer from theso causes. It at
tracted enthusiasts lu as large numbera as
ever and for several days tho undergradu
ate and his rlstor, mother and other at
tachments have been ubiquitous throughout
London.
Tho International alhlotlcA and polo arc
also looked forward to with keen Interest.
What with such large athletic contingents at
present from tho United States, an annual
convention of tho largest engineer organiza
tion In America holding Its meetings within
tho shadow of Westminster abbey, the hun
dreds of excursionists, vho, on their way to
l'arln, pay a Hying visit to England, to say
nothing of tbojo who regularly cross the
Atlantic for a European holiday, It Is almost
Impossible to go anywhero without meeting
Americans. They nro omnipresent. Over
fifty Americana who were anxious to attend
the Fourth of July banquot had to celebrate
the day by themselves, owing to lack of
tpace.
Tho fourth reception of the United States
ambassador, Mr. Joseph II. Choatc, for
Americans was more crowded than any ro
mcrabcrcd In the history of tho embassy.

Lord Hoberts' declination to allow troops

he could epnre a division and Robert) te

Hoberts' army ro'olcrd. and the War offl -c
was reluctantly ob'lged to avanon a ? hem-
whereby It was hoped to mo'l fy many dis

tlves. There Is no definite ro-flrTatl n of
this, but It Is told with considerable clr
cumatantlallty.
The resignation of Lord wo-nys, tho
honorary co'onel. and Co'oiel Km'a o Bal
f ur, tho commanding officer of the London
Scottish volunteers, ns a rnsult of their do

formation on which to bane his hopes, rest
lug them mainly on the belief that whoovcr
may now be at the hend of the govcrnmon
will be nblo to keep tho unruly elements In
hand and prevent any wholesale murder of
foreigners. It the ministers aro In the
British legation ho believes they can hold
out for some time, unless they havo ox
hnusted their supplies of provisions and
ammunition. A limited number, safely en
tronchod, under favorablo circumstances, for
a time, ho says, might hold out against n
force of Chinese ten times as large. Most
of the Chinese Imperial troops, ho says
ore loyal to tho government and ho takes
comfort in tho hope that they will uphold
Its efforts to put down tho revoltcrs.
As already stated, the minister docs no

MESSAGE REVIVES HOPE
llcller Kxprexneil thnt nt I.ennt .Some
of the I.eKntlonern Arc
Still Alive.
WASHINGTON, July 7. An Important
dhpatch to tho Stato department from Con
sul General Goodnow this morning has re
vlvod hopo In a measure that tho legation
crs, or nt least some of them, arc still alive
In Pekln. Having survived at least two
weeks longer than was supposed to be possl
bio and certainly being allvo five days ago
the unfortunate ministers and their staffs
and guards may be still holding out. Iu
fact, If the only active enemy they havo now
to face Is starvation, ns Consul General
Goodnow Indicates, the officials believe thcro
Is substantial ground for tho hope that they
may hold out and that tho horrible stories
.f tho last few days from Shanghai of name
lws crlmej and massacres committed upon
tho legatloncrs are at least premature.
Ono certain effect of Consul General
Goodnow'B dispatch will bo to cauto the oftl
dale here, niJ without doubt the European
governments, to redouble their exertions to
push forward a force to Pekln. Tho main
hope for speedy nctlon Is still In Japan. Ac
cording to tho Japanese legation here, which
haa late advices from Toklo, 22,000 Japanese
soldiers aro now on Chlneco soli. It this
report Is truo, then the Japanese govern
ment has accomplished moro than has boon
expected and the officials see no reason why
tho advance on Pekln should not begin 1m
medlatoly. It Is said that Japan ii not ex
pested to mako this campaign single-handed.
The International forces at Taku and Tien
Tslu will co-opcrato to tho utmcst with tho
Japanese army corps In tho movement on
Pekln. What form that co-operation shall
take Ib not known now, such details being
left to tho commanders In the field.
It Is said that Japan is to be compensated
for the work It Is about to undertako In tho
common cause. Its military preparations
aro very extensive and tho campaign 13 cer
tain to lnvolvo heavy cost. It would be un
just to expect Japan to meet this Itself. It
has no missionaries In China and consc
quently Is perhaps less Interested Eclflsh'.
than any of tho powers lu the. terrlblo hap.
prnlngs In Shan Tung and Pekln.
It Is conjectured that this question of com
penratlcn Is after all what has caused tho
nppareut delay In the resumption of the cam
palgn against Pekln, but It is bo'lcved that.
this having now been adjusted, military op
cratloim wilt progress rapidly.
If the powers havo agreed upon tho form
Japan's Indemnity h to nssumo the facts
cannot be elicited htre. Tho Impression,
however, Is that there will ho a money In
demnlty, the bsllcf bcln bared on the fact
that such is the only form of Indemnity so
far suggested that would bo the least likely
to arouso International Jealousies,
Either China Itself or tho powers collec
tlvoly would havo to provide for tho pay
ment of this Indomnlty, though even In the
first case It Is probable that the powers' con
trlbutlcn would bo lu tho nature' of a loan
and In tho one China would ho obliged to
make good tho advance through oomo form
of taxation. The Stoto department has not
yet heard directly from the Russian govern
ment as to Japan's position to supply the
major portion of forco required for the
Pekln legation, but it has not tho loaat
doubt that Russia makes no objection. In
fact, tho government has gathered thut all
inn i.uropean governments nave taken a
similar view of the Japanese propostl"n
and It Is disposed to feol some pride In thij
fact that It was through tho advances made
lu tho first placo by tho United Statea gov
ernment that this happy accord has been
brought about.

the fitnrle Which Come
from I'eUln.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 7. J. I). Clorl
editor of tho Shanghai Mercury nnd war
correspondent of tho London Nons, arrived
hero today on the Rio Jun Maru, from
Shanghai. He has been a resident of China
for forly years. Speaking of the condition
thero he ald:
"I tee by the dispatches that hope ha
been given up for the safety of the foreign
crs In Pekln. I cannot think the condl
tlons warrant this belief and am of the
rplnlon that they aro yet safe nnd, will be
for a great length of tlmo. The British
legation building Is a largo and strongly
built place, and, while there may havo been
discomfort on account of tho lack ot
sufficient food supplies, I am convinced It
could withstand attack. Probably 125 per
srns aro within tho legation.
"Whllo tho Boxers are In control of Pekln
and the huo and cry Is 'Kill foreigner
they aro wlso enough to know tho death knell
ot tho causo they espouse would bo sounded
In a wholesalo slaughter of foreign dip
lomnts.
"I havo tho bent hopes for tho safety of
Shanghai and tho cities In the adjacent
provinces. The viceroys aro not really In
