VANCOUVER, April l2.-Advices from
China by the Empress of Japan tell of a
brutal attack on native Christians by
llterati at Foatsin, seventy miles north
of the coast of Annoy. A gang of ruffians
led by a literati graduate attacked small
company Of Christians gathered for
worship in the house of one the members.
The worshipers were seized and beaten
most cruelty. One woman was killed,
her husbands queue torn out by the
roots and her two sons so badly treated
that one is not expected to recover. The
others present were hung up by ropes
tied around the wrists, beaten and left
hanging the whole night, stripped OF
every particle of clothing.
A few days later the ring leader in the
atrocities was arrested in the district
city of Huian. His arrest was resented

Native reports from Kaegan give har-
rowing details of the ravages caused by
famine in Mongolia. In the neighbor-

caused by severe drought extending over
six months. Three-fifths of the people
are endeavoring to travel southwark, in
hope OF obtaining relief, but large num-
bers succumbed to the Ibitterl:cold and
hunger. Some grain dealers from Shan
Sal made enormous profits by meeting
the famished people with camel loads
of cereals. Many of the poor sufferers
not having money, gave their children in
barter for wheat. A child of 6 was con-
sidered worth 600 cash Ia little over half
dollar, and manageable girls were
bartered in exchange for cancels load
of wheat of 400 catties.
