THE LEGATIONS AT PEKIN.

Mr. Sheridan P. Read, former Unit-

1 ed States Consul at Tien Tsin, is now . in America.

Mr Read has lived in China for years, and was a merchant in Tien-tsin before he was appointed con- sul. He has travelled in many parts of China on horse-back and by boat. ‘If it is true, as the despatches state, that the Empress Dowager is secretly encouraging the Boxers,’ said Mr. Read, ‘all the foreigners in Pekin are caught like rats ina trap. They are in the Manchu city, which is enclosed by a wall fifty feet high and forty feet wide at the top. ‘The gates are un- doubtedly held by large bodies of Chinese troops. In ordinary times they are closed at dusk and opened at sunrise Now they are probably clos- ed to foreigners at all hours. ‘Legation street, along which all of the legations except the British are lo- cated, is commanded by the wall. The American legation is within fifty feet of the wall. It isa compound, enclosed by a brick wall about twelve feet high, and contains about an acre of ground, Inthe enclosure are the residences, of the American minister and his assistants with the officers of the legation in the centre. The property was formerly occupied by a missionary. It is the smallest and most insignifi- cant legation in Pekin. The handfal of marines sent to Minister Conger’s assistance could net hold the place five minutes against attack from the city wall or from the street.

‘The German legation is equally close te the wall. Onthe opposite side of Legation street, anda _ little further from the wall, are the legations of Russia, Japan, France and Spain,

and further along the street are the club and the Methodist Mission property.

‘Back a short distance from Lega. tion steet is the British legation, which was formerly the home of a Manchu prince, and was taken possession of by the Brit- ish when they marched into Pekin in 1861. The property contains about fit teen acres, surrounded by a strong wall and admirably situated for defence. The British have held the property ever since they first occupied it, and have satisfied the Chinese conscience by paying a nominal rental of 1,000 taels a year for it.

‘There are sufficient buildings in the enclosure to shelter all the foreigners in Pekin. I should think the number, exclusive of customs employees, would be between two hundred and two hun dred and fifty persons, The foreign ministers sent their famlies away some time ago, and it is plain now that they made a mistake by not retiring them- selves to Tien-tsin where they could obtain protection before it was too late.

‘I believe they have united their forces for their common defence, anc the most natural place forthem to would be the British legation. It is im possible tu say how long they cw hold out there, or what difficulty th troops sent to their relief will have in forcing an entrance to the city.

‘In my opinion all the nations hav: been too slow in sending troops, anc this country is particularly to blame, tor the reason that United States so'- diers could have been sent to Pekin without arousing the jealousy of Euro- pean nations, and such an act would have been applauded by seventy-five percent of the Chinese people.

‘I do not believe that the missionaries in the interior were warned by our con- suls, or they would have all gone to Tien-tsin before communication was cut off.

‘The wall around the Manchu city 1s twenty-eight miles in length, has gates

one and a half miles long runs from the terminus of the railway to the center

of the city, terminaiing near the forbidden ground occupied by the Fmperor and the Dowager Empress.

‘According to the despatches, the re lief forces sent from Tien-tsin has ad- vanced only about two-thirds of the distance to Pekin. They have followed the railway, which is a double track road and crosses the river twice. The forts at Taku, which despatches say will probably be attacked by the European men-of-war, will have to be shelled from a distance, as there isa depth of only twelve feet of water on the bar, which is six miles from the forts.

TAKU TO PEKIN.

(New York ‘Evening Post.’) A naval officer, who has just return- ed from the Asiatic station, recently made two journeys to Pekin by way of Tien-tsin and the railway, which the Boxers have in part destroyed, and along which the foreign marines and sailors are new advancing to the Chinese capital. He describes the ap- proach tothe Chinese capital to an ‘Evening Post’ reporter as extremely uncomfortable, even at the best of times. Not only is the journey by rail very tedious, but the preliminaries to landing from a ship-of-war are incon- venient and even dangerous. ‘The Taku forts,’ he said, ‘so fre- quently referred to in current despatch- es are adobe structures on the coast at the mouth of the Peiho. Either from lack of enterprise or of studied purpose, the Chinese permit a dangerous bar to exist off the mouth of the Peihoin front of the forts. This bar and the shallows about it extend so far out that men-of-war are forced to lie fifteen miles off shore, entirely out of sight of land. ‘When a naval officer has occasion to visit Pekin, he must drop from his ship into a little launch, and in this light craft make the journey across the bar and to the point where he is to take the train for Tien-tsin. The journey by rail thence is about twenty miles. The hour of departure is always uncc'tain, and the train is extreme slow. The road runs through a_ nsely peopled region in which are few Europeans. Tien-tsin itself is a considerable Chinese town on the Peiho. It has a small foreign colony, but is likely, in view of dis- turbances at Pekin and elsewhere in the interior, to have this colony con- siderably enlarged by refugees. ‘The journey from Tien-tsin to Pekin is made at better speed than the journey fromthe coast to Tein tsin; besides, for five dollars one may have the privilege of riding in an imperial postal cai which has some of the com- forts of the American parlor car. It is a little misleading, however, to speak of the journey to Pekin by rail, for the nearest station is about five miles from the city. ‘the journey from the station to Pekin is made over one of the worst roads onearth, andin a un-

comfortable vehicle—the Chinese country Cart. ‘Pekin _itselfis a city of a million

inhabitants, standing in a desert, with- out sewers, and without a public water supply. The filth of the place, which is almost unbelievable, offends the nos- trils at every turn. The streets are ill-

paved, and getting about the city is uncomfortable and even dangerous. Pekin is walled, with a most picturesque

piece of masonry, but the city has out- grown its bounds, and fro: the top of the wall one may see the outer suburbs stretching wide and densely crowded.

‘It is hardly accurate to sa~ that Pe- kin has a foreign quarter in the sense in which that phrase is understood in the treaty ports. The foreign residents are the members of the legations, the and their households.

“compound” of its own. These com- pounds are the only clean places in the city. The compound of the British le- gation 1s largeand attractive. The same is true of the plot occupied by the Russian legation. Our own lega- tion occupies a neat but far too small compound, near the city wall.

‘The legations and the missionaries have a social life of their own, and the representatives of foreign powers give brilliant entertainments. The social life of the legations, however goes on in the presence ofa vast hostile population, and is rendered a_ little uncomfortable at times by reasons cf national jealous fears and suspicions. The presence of a large Russian force at Port Arthur, just across the Gulf of Pechili from the Taku forts, does not tend to lessen the uneasiness of life at the legations.

‘Pekin has a hot and rather unheal- thy summer climate. The city is as near as may be in the same latitude as Philadelphia, but considerably further inland. Many of the coast towns are also unhealthy, but Chifu, on a_ bluff facing the sea, about two hundred miles south-east of the Taku forts, has an excellent climate, and is a favorite place of summer residents’ with foreigners in that part of China.’

-ezema on the Scalp

Would itch and Burn until the Child fcrve2med with Agony—A Wonderful Cure Effected by Dr. Chase’s Ointment.

The case recorded here is one of the ‘worst ever brought to the attention of Toronto’s best physicians, 1nd when doctors gave up all hope of recovery, Dr. Chase’s Ointment was successful in producing a perfect cure.

Mr. James Scott, 136 Wright avenue, Toronto, states:—‘‘ My boy, Tom, aged ten, was for nearly three years afflict- ed with a bad form of Eczema of the scalp, which was very unsightly and resisted all kinds of remedies and doc- tor’s treatment. His head was in a terrible state. We had to keep him from school, and at times his head would bleed, and the child would scream with agony. For two and a half years we battled with it in vain, but at last found a cure in Dr. Chase’s Ointment. About five boxes were used. The original sores dried up, leaving the skin in its normal condition. To say it is a pleasure to testify to the wonderful merits of Dr. Chase’s Ointment is put- ting it very mildly.”
