Shanghai. September 4.-The Amerl-
can association agreed to request Special
Commissioner Rockhill to ask President
Mckinley not to consent to the with
drawal of American troops from Pekin,
to refuse to recognize the empress
dowager and Ii Hung Chang and to
lend his influence toward the restora-
tion of the emperor.
SHANGHAI VIEWS.
Shanghai, September 4.-Dispatches
announcing that the American govern
ment refuses to agree to the withdrawal
of the troops from Pekin before satisfac-
tiOn for the outrages upon and losses to
its subjects Is given, are applauded by
the entire foreign colony at Shanghai.
Amy other policy, according to the busi-
ness men and missionaries would be a
vital blow to the prestige of the foreign
ers. The local English papers fiercely
denounce the proposals to evacuate
Pekin, and say that the Chinese would
interpret the evacuation as defeat.
Masses of Cinnamon now believe that
the Chinese arms are victorious.
The European community continues
to demand the destruction of Pekin and
the exemplary punishment of officials,
deeming the indemnity and the paper
promises of new treaties as inadequate.
Undoubtedly, the information in detail
of the massacres of foreigners daily re-
ceived, inflames this sentiment.
MISSIONARIES THROWN TO THE
DOGS.
The dowager empress is living in the
yamen at Tai Yuan Flu, Shan 81 pro-
vince. Fifty missionaries have been
slaughtered in that yamen under her
orders, practically in the presence of
the viceroy. Their bodies were thrown
to the dogs.
The empress ordered the commission
er to investigate the conduct of the
southern viceroys who made compact
with the foreign cOnsuls and their de-
gradation is expected.
HORRIBLE OUTRAGES.
No investigation of officials opposed
to the foreigners has been ordered. The
Associated Press representative learns
from official sources the facts of the
killing of several American women mis-
sionaries who were led about the coun-
try naked, repeatedly outraged and
finally killed by method too revolving
to be described Such incidents make
lenient policy unpopular In Shanghai,
where all the victims had friends.
Placards appeared today in all public
places exhorting foreigners to oppose
any compromise with the government,
attacking Ii Hung Chang, quoting the
credited to Earl LII that the 'foreigners
In Pekin except the ministers were of no
account"

POINTED.
