Last night a. mob ‘composed of several thousand persons formed at Lee Circle and marched to Charles avenue ina body. it was reported that the mob would march upon the parish prison and demand the negro Pierce, who was with Charles when the police officers were killed. The police accordingly sent strong rein- forcements to the prison and, when the mob made its appearance, its leaders were told that an effort to secure the prisoner would be resist- ed to the bitter end. Wise counsel prevailed andthe members of the throng slowly disappeared. ‘Whites Start Negro Hunting. Small bands of men and boys were,soon formed and scattered to several parts of the city.

EARLY ADVANGE LIKELY Oansuls ef the Powers Give Ohina Five Days to Produoe Legations Alive—Unrest Spreads to Canton—New South Wales to Send a Contingent. London, July 26.—While the lat- est impression derived from the ar- ray of conflicting telegrams from’ the far east is that a portion of the foreign colony at Pekin may have escaped slaughter until a recent date, the general consensus of the best informed opinion of Europeans continues to favor the acceptance of the worst news. and prompt action thereon, the contention being that the only possibility ot definitely as- certaining the truth is by the allied commanders inquiring at Pekin.
