CHINA HELD GUILTY. ].
strons Indictment by = Corresponds
ent in Peking OF the London
Mail-Gfyes Important News.

London, Aug. AIT last the story Of
Peking has been told. DR.. Morrison,
in the Times, holds up the Chinese
government before the world as
guilty, and to a degree Of infamy and
duplicity that exceeds the surmise Of
its worst detractors. In the same dis
patch he gives more hopeful view Of
the prospects of the besieged than has
been expressed by any Of the others
who have been heard from
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter,
while strong Indictment Of the Chi
nese governmental is not nearly so much
SO asDr. Morrison's dispatch. That cor
respondent, with the imperial edicts
as authority, declares that as late as
July 2 the imperial government urged
the Boxers to continue their s'loyal
and patriotic services in exterminat-
ing the Christians He explains those
marvellous changes in the Chinese atti-
tude which have SO puzzled the world.
It appears that all the appeals for in
2tervention and all the protestations of
friendship have been due entirely to
the victories of the allies at Tientsin.
The ministers at Peking owed their
safety up to:-July 21 not to govern
ment protection, but to the. scarcity Of
Chinese ammunition and to the fear
which the Tientsin victories inspired.
When it is remembered how great
reliance is placed upon Dr. Morrison
in England, the Importance of his ex-
posure of the Chinese government can
scarcely be overestimated. It seems
to Danish all hopes entertained by
Lord Salisbury that the Chinese gov
ernment might yet be proved not di-
rectly responsible for the outrage, and
it may result in an entire cessation of
the negotiations with Chinese diplo-
matists, if not an open declaration Of
war on the part of the powers.

The cipher code of the state ,depart-
nent is what is known as symbol
code. It is reported to be alb
solutely impossible for any one,
even cipher expert, to read it or to
write message in it without the use
of the code book. The symbols used
are figures arranged in groups to rep-
resent wosds. It's basis is a system
of key number which change the sig-
nifcation of the symbols. The code
is thus capable of several transposi-
tions, and to still further increase the
difficulty of it's translation there are
two basic systems.

If lightning strikes tree after a
long period of heavy rain, when the
whole surface of the tree is damp, it
generally does very little harm to the
tree and often none at all. If, on the
other hand, the tree is struck when it's
surface is dry it is more severely dam
aged, because then the electric spark
will descend by line of lower resist
ance along the damp wood under the
bark. In this case the heat of the
spark instantly produces steam to a
very high pressure under the bark
and it is generally blown up.
