The question arises, Dif the Ministers do right in insisting on remaining at Peking while it was yet possible for thems to leave in safety say, at the beginning of June, when the contingent of three hundred and thirty mixed troops hed arrived by the then intner | Tientsin-Peking line to guard the Legations? It is an undoubted fact that they could then or in the course of the next few days have left Peking and retired to Tientaju, intiaat ing to the riperial Government that they were obliged to take this extreme measure owing to the improper way, in which the Boxers" were being dealt with and the consequent danger to the lives of All foreign residents in Peking.
