oioes and sorrow in every heart And was tins all
MOI In two hours. one French and two English gun
boats had steamed down the harbor for TenTsin and
Vice-Consul Jenkins had forwarded dispatches to
iiong-kong asking that the Ashuelot might come to
represent and protect American interests Before
sunset of that day IL was known that an attack In
Shanghai was probable; and then work was done.
The Shanghai Volunteer Corps, Sir Edmund Hornby,
was resuscitated and armed with ball cartridges {;
the Miho-long company Capt. G. J. Ashley; Hon
kew company, Capt. Hammond the French Gnard,
Capt. Ulbrick; the entire Fire Brigade under Capt.
Thorne, and the Steamboat Guard, Capt. Don aldson
in all numbering about six hundred good men
were armed and put in drill. Extra policemen were
detailed; Chinese watchmen dismissed; several
ships of war in port placed in position for active ser
vice and Shanghai bore the look that Washington
did nine years ago. The "FOutai caused notices to
deposited threatening Chinese with punishment If
they created trouble; but in an hour every such
notice had been torn from the walls. Small man
darns and priests did the work of their superiors.
The Chinese openly exuted over the news. and IN
an hour became vicious and bold. They only cow
cred when they knew that Shanghai was under
arms and able to defend itself. The highest OFFICIALS
boldly and proudly proclaimed their joy over tho
death of such French subjects as had been mas
sacred but said that they were sorry that they had
made the serious mistake of slaughtering EDgllsh
and Russian citizens The entire press OF Shanghai
came forth with black borders and bitter words OF
indignation. The action of the American Consul at
Tein-Tsn in writing glossary article to The Ne'cs
was vehemently denounced. Mr. Meadows IA an
Englishman is Consul for the United States, liol-
land and the Danes without salary from either put

ChunghOw's Arsenal at salary OF $500 per month,

of this subject:

SIR: We the Undersigned foreign residents of shang
hal have the honor to address you on the snPet Oh 'ho
The sympathy of ali Christians in the foreign
munity is enlisted strongly in the suerngs of the in
who suffered on this occasion, that they are unable to
express their indignation and abhorrence. o,,.
These Christians fervently hope that whatever sats

should be razed to the ground that monument should
be erected thereon to the memory OF tue maryrs, anu
tuity. We remain, Sir, your obedient servants
A heavy subscription in aid Of monument to the
martyred Sisters renders it certain that the spot
will not 90 unmarked nor uncommemorated. The
common question now is, what will the French and
Russians dot Your correspondent does not even
ouessr what ,ciU be done but certainly Napoleon
will never sell the blood Of those murdered women
for Chinese Sycee. This Is an auspicious momentfor
China if it is udiciously improved and that inno-
cent blood may prove golden blocks with which to
nave the opening avenue of Christianity, Progress,
and EnliQhtenment. wholesome retribution and
undoubed security for future rights demanded and
enforced unanimously by the ring" OF civilized
nations, can now accomplish all this and more
PosTsCRIPT-THE VERY LATEST.
Jr1.Y 12-This morning, an hour before the Ameri-
can mail leaves, the Nanzina came in bringing latest
news from Pekin and Ten-Tsin All is quiet at this
date. The most remarkable insult ever offered by
the Chinese Government is that the Emperor has
ordered ChunghOw to go to France, and explain at
Versailles rhy he permitted the massacre. Can it be
nossbe that joke is intended on this sublect1 III
no Chunghow will do well to avoid visit to Shang-
hal en- route. The gun for the departure OF the
steamer has just sounded.
