CIIINA'S PERIL GROWS.
lntimated That Italy VIII Sever All
Diplomatic Relations.
OTHER POWERS ACTIVE TOO.
Russia Protests Against the British
Railroad Loan, and Ems land
Warns China Not to Repu-
diate the Contract.

Picking, March 9.-The italian minis
Ter here regards as an insult the man
her In which the tsung-li-yamen, or
rhinese foreign office, has treated Italy's
demand for coalng station at San
Mum bay, and rupture of diplomatic
relations between Italy and China is
probable.
1t Is believed Russia has reiterated
her protest against the British railroad
loan in order to make the contract
ground for complaint against the Chi
nese and thus seek compensation, terri
torial or otherwise.
Sir Claude NJ. Macdonald, the British
minister, has informed the officials of
the Chinese foreign office that any at
tempt to repudiate the railroad contract
will be regarded as a breach of faith
meriting retributive measures. At the
same time the minister recalled Lord
Salsbury's assurances of support for
China If another power attempted to
force her to repudiate the contract.

MAsSAORES IN CHINA.
Rebels In the Central Provinces Com
init Many Atrocities.

Rebels In the Central Provinces Com
init Many Atrocities.
| Victoria, B. c., March 9-Details of
the instruction in the central provinces
of China, received by the Empress of
India. state that the rebel forces and
the imperial troops met in a pitched
battle on Jan. 20. and the latter were
defeated with great slaughter, Hun
dreds were killed, and their bodies, aft
er having been mutilated, were thrown
into the river until according to cor
respondent of China Mail, the stream
was like log damned creek.
After the defeat of the imperial
troops the victorious rebels swept on to
the cities of Kuyang and Meng Sheng,
which they took after a short siege.
AS soon as they passed the walls they
massacred men, women and children
and performed all manner of revolving
crueltes. They then burned the cap
tured towns.
After these successes the rebels push
ed on to Kaiuchon. The gates of the
city were opened by sympathizers with
in, and the horrors witnessed at pre-
vious captures were re-enacted kaiu-
,hon held out for some time. At length
Nu and his followers gained an en-
trance to begin their slaughter. AS
revenge for his having held the city
against the rebels the unfortunate
:ommandant of the garrison was butch
sred with savage cruelty.
1t Is said 200 men, women and chill
1ren fell in the struggle attending the
capture of the city. 1t is feared a great
famine will follow the instruction, for
so terrified are the natives that the
crops have all been left standing and
will not be harvested.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-03-09

Now, as the business of the Granite
City is on the eve of raising to the pin
nacle of -ue"cs>, and as the former
boomS bid fair to he outslrippcd. every
business man of Barre must see the
wisdom of organizing board of trade
This sentiment is gradually gaining
ground amongst some of our most Tn
terprl>lng citizens and we cherish the
fond hope that ere another busy summer
has passed there will be such an organi-
cation here to promul gale the growth
of the city and the advent of new indu,-
tries 10 our midst.
