It is learned that rioting broke out in Peiping following the attack on the city. Whether the rioters are connected with the troops who are attempting to gain an entrance to the city is not known. Nor is the extent of the rioting

"VICIOUS PROPAGANDA" STARTS REACTION

Washington, June 27. Senator Elmer, Thomas, Democrat of Oklahoma, in an interview by the United Press here to-day, said, "The vicious propaganda against the United States silver programme, plus the dormant policy of the Treasury, are largely responsible for the decrease in the world price.

"Britain is bitterly opposed to our silver programme because of the effect the advance in prices has had on the Indian rupee. Consequently Great Britain is sponsoring the propaganda against our policy with telling effect."

"In addition, every European silver operator knows the Treasury's stand as regards the silver, programme. When the banks which usually buy for the Treasury fail to make purchases, operators know that the United States is off the market and they sell short in silver."
