Neither is the Government of China responsible for the depredations of lawless mobs, over which movements it has no control. Does not the action of the Empress Dowager in degrading the commandant of the Taku forts for firing upon the foreign fleet prove e imperial Government had no part it The Minister was surprised and sorry to hear of the report that Li Hung Chang had reconsidered his intention and would not go to Peking. He said he had great faith in Chang’s ability to relieve thé sit- uation there. He also expressed his be- llef that Seymour’s column had arrived at Peking and that the legations there are safe. S5 OFFICIALS HOPE THAT THE WORST IS PAST WASHINGTON, June 21.—Admiral Remey, from Manila, supplemented his previously brief dispatch relative to the salling of the Zafiro by one later in the day announcing-the departure of the Iris from Manila for Taku, The Iris is a water boat, but on this trip she carried a quantity of supplies for Admiral f's little squadron as well as a cargo of good coal, a commodity which will be sorely needed by the time she ar- | rives. The developments of to-day, apart from those at Tientsin, greatly encourages the officlals here in their hope that the worst is past in China and that the difficulty can be settled without any very serious change of the present status of the coun- try, at least in its relations with the outer world. The State Department is much gratified at the attitude of the powers. So far as it is informed there is no dif- ference of opinion or intention among the different powers respecting the Chinese situation. Their object is simply to re- store peace, protect life and property and leave all further questions for future set- tlement. 8o far as can be gathered there is not a dissenting voice among the pow- ers in answer to the proposition made by the United States to limit the operations of the foreign armies and navies in China to that simple programme. If there is a contrary purpose entertained anywhere ihe particular power has not signified that fact. “FATHER ENDEAVORER” CLARK AND FAMILY SAFE BOSTON, June 2L—Some anxiety has been expressed by friends for the safety of Rev. Francis E. Clark, president of the United Soclety of Christlan Endeavor, who, with Mrs. Clark and their son Har- old, was in Tientsin and Peking during the massacres by the Boxers. A message just received here from Dr. Clark stated that the family had arrived safely at Fusan, Korea, where they were to take the steamer for Viadivestok. s cby COMPANY OF BLUEJACKETS LANDED AT WOO SUNG SHANGHAI, June 2L—The bluejackets have been landed at Woo Sung to protect the telegraph station.

OF THE BODY OF THE IMPERIAL INFANTRY OTHER LINES THAN THOSE HELD BY THE BOXERS. D BOXERS SLAUGHTERED BY SOLDIERS LONDON, June 21.—The soldiers and Boxers are sald to be massacring each other, and the Chinese Manchus are also reported to be engaged in mutual slaughter. Prince Tuan is alleged to have sacked and burned the palace. The Em- peror is reported to have been killed, the Dowager Empress is represented as missing and in some quarters it is believed she has committed suicide. All this purports to have been contained in a letter from Peking recelved A high official Chinaman at Shanghai, where it is hoped the desperate ruggle between the leaders and the Dowager Empress will prevent the sects combining against the Europeans. The Shanghai correspondent of the Times says: “Great destruction was caused by the Boxers in the native quarters of Tientsin on June 15, but the presence of foreign troops in the foreign settlement protected that. The native press asserts that there are bltter dissensions in the Manchuria . party.” B I 22 i -p SUDDEN DEATH OF COUNT MURAVIEFF Was a Member of an Old Family and Ranked as Minister of Foreign Affairs. R i S S O o S THE LATE COUNT MURAVIEFF. D e e e e e S e e o e e oo o PR e g L e A A T. PETERSBURG.—June 21.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Muravieff, died suddenly this morning. Count Muravieff had just finished hie morning cup of coffee and had ordered his lunch when he fell in an apoplectic fit and expired in a few minutes, between 9 and 10 o'clock. NIEW YORK, June 21.—A special to the- World from London says Count Mi- chael Mouravieff, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, died sudadenly in St. Peters- burg to-day. Itis nounced from there that apoplexy was fatal to Count Mour- avieff, but here in diplomatic circles Mouravieff’s strange death is attributed to poison, just as the death of his predecessor as Russian Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Prince Alexander Lobenoff, who dled suddenly in 189, was attributed to pol- gon. Diplomats here say Mouravieff has been a restraining influence on the ultra forward par'y at St, Petersburg. In the present crisis he has been desperately struggling to preserve concerted action with all the powers. His firm position was opposed to most of the Czar's councilors, who are for pressing Russfa’s advantage regardless of consequences. So Mouravieff was put out of the way. Count Michael Muriavieff was born in 1845, of a family that has been promi- nently identified with the life of Russia ever sinee the time of Catherine IL His grandfather was the Governor of Vilna and Polish Lithuania at the time of the insurrection thirty-five years ago, who crushed the insurgents into submis- sion. . Count Michael was educated at Poltava and Heldelberg, and then entered diplomatic. life as secretary to the Russian Embassy at Berlin. After holding many other offices he went to Paris, kome twenty years ago, as Counctlor of the Russian Embassy, and four years later to Berlin in the same capacity. He later was the Embassador of the Czar at the Danish court. In January, 1867, he was called by his master to succeed Prince Lobanoff d Rostow as Chancellor of the Russian empire, which position he has held ever since. It was thought for a time throughout the other courts of Europe that his in- fluence with the Czar was much weakened by the failure of the International Peace Conference at The Hague, of which he was a strong advocate, to accom- plish anything definite toward the limitations of the armaments of the nations of the world. His thorough understanding and mastery of the Far tern question makes loss at this time a most serious one to the Czar. e 3 i3, 'CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1900, CHINESE SOLDIERS ENGAGED IN A SHAM BATTLE.

In reply to questions he denied emphatic- ally that the Chinese Government meant | to wage war and declared that the com- | manders of the Taku forts undoubtedly | acted without instruction, He referred to | the reports of the murder of Baron von Ketteler and of the destruction of the le- gations as “fables.”” When asked from what source he had received such infor- | mation, and especially in view of the fact | that the other day he had admitted that | he -had recelved no cable advices from | home, he replied that he knew these | things from the general intentions of his | Government and from his own general in- structions. Count von Bulow, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to-day joined Em- | peror William at Kiel to give his Majesty an oral account of the Chinese imbroglio. | It is probable that he will postpone his | vacation and continue to direct the For- eign Office personally. during the present crisfs. Thus far, however, nothing had developed to indicate that the Kaiser means to abandon his Norwegian trip. Preparations continue for increasing the | German forces in China. For the present the fighting force of the German troops will be 5000 when all shall have arrived, but it 1s understood that if more warning news is received the Government will send out a volunteer army taken from all the regiments of the army up to 10,000 men. The volunteers needed to bring the two marine battalions to the full war footing of 1000 men each have responded eagerly. In one case an entire company declared | itself ready to go. i The armored cruiser Fuerst Bismarck | will carry 30 soldiers in addition to her | crew of 46. From Kiel comes the news that the big cruiser Wineta, which has ar- rived at La Guayara, has been ordered to | Sroceed to China, and that the cruiser ‘ormorant, which is now in the south seas, has also been ordered thither.

EN ROUTE TO HONGKONG WASHINGTON, June 21.—A cablegram received at the Navy Department to-day from Admiral Remey at Manila states that the Zafiro sailed yesterday from Ca- vite for Hongkong. She is a supply ship and may proceed to Taku after commun- icating with Captain Wilde of the Oregon at Hongkong. Every One Has Noticed the New *C’? in Town.
