The Chinese Troubles.

Recent advices from China state that
the foreign ministers seem to be safe
in Pekin, with the exception of Baron
Won Ketteler, the representative of
Germany, who was attacked June Is
by Chinese troops while on his way to
the Chinese foreign Office, and killed.
All legations we're burned except the
English, German and French.
1t is now pretty certain that no for
eign force is nearer to Pekin than
Tientsin, to which Admiral Seymour,
in command of the foreign relief force.
retreated last week. A dispatch from
Chefoo says that the allied army awaits
reinfOrcements at Tientsin and Taku
before advancing on Pek:n, and 1T is
probable that so 900 troops will be re-
quired for the purpose.
The allied forces moving from Taku
to Tientsin number IA, 200 officers and
men, with 80 field and machine guns.
Prince Tuan, father of the heir-ap
parent to the throne in China, is said
to be in control at Pekin, and that his
attitude is hostile to foreigners.
There has been revolution at Pekln,
by which Prince Tuan has dethr0ned
the Empress DOwager and the Emper-
OF and made his son emperor. The
Prince himself is practically dictator.
Facts about the revolution in the
palace are still obscure. bat it is cyl
cent that there has been state of
anarchy in the capital, with 10000
soldiers fighting inside the walls and
as many outside.
