THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

New agency dispatches, dated at
Shanghai, August 2, say the fero-
cious l.. Ping Hong, formerly COVER
nor of Shan Ting, has arrived at
Pekin with large following of
troops. On the way north he killed
two French priests and many hun
dreds of converts.
From Shanghai comes the news Of
the reported murder of fifty mission
aries in the province of Shan 81
with the additional information that
eight English women were dragged
out of the mission buildings by a
Chinese mob, who beheaded them in
the streets of Chu Chou.
The Times says: ave have gained
a clear idea Of the attitude of the
Chinese Government and of the
value of frequent assertions bv diff
ferent Chinese representatives that
for month the legations have been
enjoying the protection of the throne.
1t is beyond doubt that these asser-
tons are all unqualified falsehoods
Up to the 18th the attack upon the
legations was ordered, directed and
controlled by the Chinese Govern
ment."
The Neac York. W0r1d says: cit is
important for US to bear in mind
that we cannot make common cause
with Great Britain, the maker of the
opium war and the land-grabber:
with Russia, the seizer of Chinese
territories; with Germany, which
appropriated large peninsula on
flimsy pretext with France, which |
stole Tonquin; with Japan, whose
appetite was forced to be content
with Formosa. The Chinese hate
these nations-and for cause"
Only One Legation Standing.
All the legations except the
British, are utterly wrecked by shot
and shell. The Austrian, Italian
Belgian and Holland buildings are
burned to the ground. The British
legation is also much shattered. The

The result of the expected battle

The result of the expected battle
between the allies and the Chinese is
something to open the eyes of West
ern nations. That an army of co.
600 Chinese (and these are figures of
Europeans) should make such good
resistance against $4,000 soldiers,
the flower of Europe and America,
will rudely disabuse the mind of
the MOST advanced peoples as 10 the
present fighting abilities of the ORR
entails. The immediate issue of the
battle, however, was never doubted,
no matter what the force OF the enc.
my opposed to the allies. If, though,
on the other hand, the allies had
beer defeated state of affairs
such as the world never saw would
have resulted. The populace of China,
IN that event, would have risen sim
ultaneously. throughout the king.
dom, and foreigner and native
Christians would have been slaugh-
tered to man. Only the crushing
defeat of the Chinese troops at
rien-Tsin and the capture of the
faku forts has restrained the
Chinese so far.

of the name "Kilmarnock"-which
is also that of one of the thriving
