Christians Massacred
SHANGHAI, September 1,-Advices from
Ching Too Foo, the chief city of the prov
ince Of Sechuen, state that the natives
OF the eastern part of that province and
those OF Northern Cochin-China have
risen against the Christians and are mas
sacreing them and destroying their prop
erty. This active persecution is attribu-
ted to the imprudence OF the English and
American missionaries. In Cochin-C China
alone, fifty Christians have been killed
and their homes burned and their farms
destroyed. In Sechuen u general mas
sacre of Christians is reported to be i'll
progress, and they are killed wherever
found. 1t is said that whole villages
occupied by Christians have been de-
stroyed and that all the lands occupied
by professors OF that faith are being dew
astated. The Apostolic Wears residence
in Sechuen has been burned to the
ground and not piece of furniture nor
book nor paper was saved. The foreign
COnsuls barely escaped from Sechuen
with their lives.
No efforts have been made UP to the
latest reports to quell the disorder, and
so far as is now known ii continues un-
suppressed.

LONDON, August 28th.-The trouble
between the constabulary and the
tenants on the Marquis of Clan
ricorde's estate, which has been going
ON for the past few days, has just termin
ated in the success of the police. A force
OF $50 police besieged the house of San
| dersOn, a tenant ordered evicted, and
! after desperate struggle carried the
! barricaded house and captured twenty
! men. The roads were plowed up by
Sanderson's friends to prevent the APP
| proach of the police, and when the latter
were scaling the walls of the house boil
| ing water was poured on them and a
swarm of bees let loose against them.
| Notwithstanding the blocking of roads
and the destroying of bridges, batter
| ing ram was taken to the vicinity of San
! derson's fort, and will soon be put to use
| Sanderson's fort is to be treated as the
| Romans did the walls of Jerusalem.
Two hundred soldiers and seven hundred
| police are now in and about the place to
| carry out evictions. The plan is to sur
round the fort, and when entry is made
| take all inside prisoners and convey
them to Ballinasloe Tor prosecution. The
greatest excitement prevails around
/ Woodford.
