THAT DAMN ARE FOUND
awning Chinese Official Responsibility
for the Atrocities of the Boxers.

London, Oct. 10. - The Standard
publishes mail advices from Tien-Tsin
giving a list of fifty-four documents
that were seized in the yamen of the
viceroy after the capture of the city
and fell into the hands of the CORE
spondents before the military authori-
ties had seized the yamen. These include
receipts for money paid to Boxer gen.
rails for supplies to their troops of ev-
cry kind, reports of actions and lists
of casualties, and rewards paid to gen.
erals and the families Of the killed
all clearly proving that the authori
ties maintained the Boxer movement
by lavish expenditure.
DIR. Morrison, in today's Times, con-
cludes his dramatic description of the
siege of Picking. He expresses the
deep obligation of all those confined in
the British legation to the splendid
services of Rev. Frederick ID. Game
well, head of the Methodist mission
board: to whom was due the design
ing and construction of all our de-
lenses and who carried out in the
most admirable manner Sir Claude
MacDonald's ideas and suggestions"
He also refers to the valuable serv-
ices rendered by Mr.. Squiers, secre-
tary of the United States legation.
The Times, commenting editorially
upon Morrison's narrative, says: "The
whole story justifies in the fullest man.
ner Emperor Williams attitude to-
ward the authors Of the atrocities. 1t
proves beyond reasonable doubt the
responsibility of the high officials and
the tsung-li-yamen."
A Shanghai dispatch says that from
Canton it is reported that the Kwang-
81 rebels have defeated the imperial
troops on the borders of Kwang-Tung
and that General Su has resigned in
consequence of his request for rein
forcements being ignored.
