SAD DEATH OF MADAME oHAIMAIsos. -
A French merchant, M. Chalmaison,
hearing that the Sisters of Charity were be-
ing attacked, tried to get near the hospital
to defend them, but he was caught in the
street and hacked to pieces. His wife, on
hearing Of her husbands death, fled to the
house of native Christian and remained
there till night, when, disguised in Chi
nese dress, she yentured to her house,
| thinking to see the body OF her dead bus
band. After fruitless search she endea-
| vored to get back to the Chinese house, but
| being discovered by some OF Chung How's
| trained troops the Chung How rities), she
was killed by them in the street.
SLAUGHTER OF FRIENDLY NATIVES.
About fifty Cantonese men, who were
suspected of being on intimate terms with
| the Europeans, were murdered during the
| excitement; and even towards the end OF
the day some miscreants were proving
about the foreign settlement. One OF them
tessed that he had been sent to kill some Of
the Europeans in the custom service.
THE FRENCH MINISTER DETAINED AT PEKIN.
What the French authorities will do is
wraDped in the future. The Count de
| Rochechouard, the French Charge d. At
flares at Pekin, by last accounts, Is detained
at the Imperial capital. Some report that
the Chinese Emperor will not allow him to
leave Pekin, as they declare they have no
power to protect him from being murdered,
either on the road or ut Tient-sln, by the
same assassns who have already killed so
many of bis compatriots. Whether the
French Charge d'Affaires is detained for
other motives it is difficult to state. fos-
sibly his departure is feared lest he
should take immediate steps for a rctrlpu-
ton for the fearful blow inflicted on French
prestige in China, ana that by keeping MN
at Pekin time may be gained to soften
down the painful impressions caused by the
late massacre. A short time will bring the
French Admiral to the scene OF the catas,
trophe, and unless the most summary ana
complete humiliation be imposed on the
Chinese Government French influence VIII
have ceased in China from the 3lst OF June,
when so much of her innocent blood was
shed by her triumphant enemies.
THE CHINESE GOVERNOR OF T1ENT-sIN RE
sPoNsIBLE FOR THE MASSACRE.
There was no available force at Tient-sin
for the defence of British property or life.
Chung How had been requested four con-
secutive days previously by the British
consul to take precautionary measures to
avert the outbreak, or afford protection,
and he never even vouchsafed to answer to
these important official acquisitions made to
him as the chief authority of Tientsln.
Upon Chung How doubtless rests the re-
sponsihility and blame of the whole OF TINS
murderous instruction, and it is to be
hoped that condign punishment will be IN
filcted on him for his connlvance at the
slaughter OF so many innocent persons.
FRANCE AND ENGLAND MUST EXACT VEN
GEANCE.
The horror of the outrage is only equalled
by the treachery of the Chinese Govern
ment, and sooner or later the Emperor HIM
self will have to answer the indignant forces
of France, and it is to be hoped Of England
also. for the gross breach OF humanity that
has no parallel in modern times.
