GREAT FAMINE FEARED

VICTORIA. b. c., March S.--Detals of
the insurrection il the central provinces of
China received by the Empress of India,
state that the reoel force and the imperial
troops met il pitched battle on January
% aud the latter were tlsfcated with great
slaughter. Hundreds were killed, and their
bodies. after having been mutilated, were
thrown into the river, until; according to a
correspondent of the China Mail, the
stream was like Il log jammed creek.
After the defeat of the imperial troops
the victorious rehe is swept on TO the cities
of Kuyang ard Meng Sheng, which they
took after a short siege. AS soon as they
passed the walls they massacred men. wo-
men and children, and performed all man
ner of revolting cruelties. They then burn
ed the captured towns.
The Fall of Ixauchon.
After these successes the rebels pushed
on to Kauchon. The gates of the city were
opened by sympathzers within, and the
horrors witnessed at previous captures
were re-enactei.
Kaucnon held out for some time. AT
length Niu and his followers gained an en-
trance to begin their slaughter. AS re-
venge for his having held the city against
the rebels the unfortunate commandant of
the garrison was butchered with savage
cruelty. 1t is said 200 men, women and
children fell in the struggle attending the
capture of the city.
1t is feared a great famine will follow the
insurrection, for SO terrified are the ma
tives that the crops have all been left
standing, and will not be harvested.

later reinstated by the council, has

south of Palmer College, or the center
of the business portion of the town. AT
present the depot is located about one

stormy weather.

ney from this city, and will lay the
matter before the railroad commission
ers, to whom, it seems, the matter has
been left for agreement. So far. Mr..
Bratt claims, the company has not seen
fit to make any change.
A report has been current in the city
during the past few days. although not
confirmed, that the company was figur-
ing on disseminating the LeGrand sta-
ton, on account of the fact that land
has been purchased with a view of
moving the Quarry station some dis
lance west. This. 1t is claimed, would
bring that station nearer LeGrand
than the present LeGrand station. This
is hardly thought probable, however
