A'gain a message has come through f rom Minister Conger, but again it is untlated. . From certain key to the 'daes the ad-' jninistratidn at 'Washington be lieve it to be not earlier than the 3.0th of July nor lator .than the 2nd of August. It is a follows: "Still beseiged: Situation more precarious. Chinese govern ment insisting upon our leaving Pekin, which would be certain death. Rifle firing upon us daily by imperial troops. Have abundance of courage, but little ammunition or provisions. Two progressive Yamen ministers be headed. ' All connected with legation of the United States well at the present moment." Conger. . Thus the brighter skies of a few days ago are lowering again. The ministers are shut up and their chief dangers seem short age of food-and ammunition with which to keep back the murder ous hordes. A proposition was sent to Li Hung Chang to allow allies to enter Pekin and bring out the ministers and settle difficulties at Tien Tsin later so as to avert a war of the world against China habit was rejected. The way for -their relief is blocked by overwhelming num bers not the worst armed, with topogaphical advantages almost insurmountable. The allied forces are very de termined and probably of rival gallantry, ' but dispatches give little hope of a dash to Pekin. When the allies reach the city - it may be too late. miS. J. W.
