Report of Another Massacre.

A report is to hand of the massacre of
the little band of American missionaries
at Pao-ting-fu, near Peking. 4 special
dispatch from Hongkong gives the fol
lowing thrilling account of the escape ut
an Italian priest, whose comrades, among
whom was Bishop Fantozzati, were done
to death with atrocious cruelty:
THE Rev. Stephano Sette, an Italian
priest, who has just arrived after an adj
venturous voyage from Hen Glen Flu, in
southern Human in the course of an i'll
terview, says that on July 4 native con.
verts warned him that the bishops house
at two hours distance, had been set Oh
fire and the bishop, the Right Rev. Anto
MO Fantozzau, three fathers and hun
dreds of converts had been massacred
Six other priests had fled to the noun
tans.
Father Stephano hid in the mountains
for three days, and then some converts
came and carried him to the river in a
coffin as a corpse. They placed him in a
boat. Afterward the boat people discov
cred that he was not n corpse and were
frightened at carrying a European but
ultimately they consented on the promise
of a reward.
After hazardous journey and many
adventures, his devoted converts brought
him safely to Canton, whence he took q
steamer to Hongkong He says that HUI.

the Capital.
London, July 27. - According to III
Hung Chang, some of the foreign ENJOYS
have already left Peking on their way
to Tien-tsin. This and other Chinese
assurances of the safety of the legations
still continue to be regarded with suspi-
cion in Canton and Hongkong, not to
speak of Shanghai, where one CORE
spondent telegraphs that the proposal to
send the ministers to the coast is part of
deep laid plot to conceal the date of
the massacre.
Of news from any foreigner in Peking
there is none, save repetition of Sir
Claude Macdonald's message of July 4
stating that at that date 40 of the be-
sieged had been killed and so wounded.
One dispatch from Chefu puts the date
as two days later, but this is probably
an error.
From Hongkong and Shanghai come
reports of the spread of anti-foreign feel
ing and of the more or less alarming at
titude of the authorities. In Canton, de-
spite many executions, the rowdy element
remains undismayed, and even In the
heart of China as far up the Yang-tse
Kiang river as the old treaty port of
correspondent says, if any reasonable
fear becomes current of the partition of
China being intended or of personal in
jury to the dowager empress being
threatened the whole of the central prov
inces will explode. Admiral Seymours
arrival at Shanghai is expected to cause
some improvement in the situation there.
While one Shanghai dispatch says that
advance on Peking is expected to be be-
gun within fortnight, another states
that the Chinese troops which were beat
en- at Tien-tsin are massing at Yaung
Tun, 20 miles from that city, on the rail
way line to the capital.
Fifteen thousand Japanese have land
ed at Shan-Hai- -Kwan, inhicting severe
defeat upon the Chinese there. With
the occupation by Russian force a few
days ago of Lutai, on the railroad which
connects Sban-Hai-Kw with Taku, the
allied forces are thus in possession of
double base.

RHODE ISLAND LABOR LAWS.
A Move to Limit the Working Hours 10
81 Per Week.

Pawutucket, r. l.. Feb. 6.-An
amendment to the present labor laws
in Rhode Island is proposed, more es-
pecially to that portion relating to the
hours of employment. The amendment
sets the limit at "a hours in any one
week except under certain conditions.
The bill has been prepared by the
Rhode Island Association Of Mule
Spinners and is identical with one in
troduced in the General Assembly in
January 1892. by Dr. l.. +. G. Garvin,
and which died a natural death. The
petition to the Assembly has been sign
ed by upwards of $500 mule spinncrs
and textile workers. The chief section
of the bill reads:
mo minor under 16 years of age and
no woman shall be employed in labor
ing in any manufacturing establish
ment more than nine hours in any day
except when it is necessary to max
repairs to prevent the interruption Of
the ordinary running of the machinery
or when q different apportionment Of
the hours Of labor is made for the sole
purpose of making shorter days work
for one day Of the week and in no
case shall the hours of labor exceed "a
in week. Every employer shall post
in conspicuous place in every room
where such persons are employed q
printed notice stating the number of
hours work required of them on each
day of the week; and the employment
of any such person for a longer time
in any day than 50 stated shall be
deemed a violation Of this section. un-
less it appears that such employment
is to make up for time lost ON some
previous day Of the same week in con
of the stopping of machinery
upon which such person was employed
or dependent for employment"
