ou, exchanges by the last mail refe. TO the
murder Of Roman Catholic missionary in one
Of The interior provinces Of China, where but few
foreigners hare as yet veniured. The reverend

city Of en-Kiaas-hien where, with the permits
sioa OF the as,AOu,ies, he had purchased a small
house TO reside in, the Chinese mob attacked the

and be-i them till they were dead. IL is suspect
ed iha, the local mandarin authorities Of the
CITY eoauiyed al the assault which resulted in
The death 0: the tue priests, as no effort was
made TO check it, 1, Is very doubtful whether
any satisfactory redress can be obtained for this
massacre, ,hough sll f1reigu nations ought 10
