prosecution of this work will lead to
the early recovery OF bodies still in the

London, Sept. 13 (3:15 a .m.)-Al
the correspondents in China are send

tians. II Is ascertained that during
July between $1,000 and 10000 converts
were massacred in the northern prov

are still unaccounted for, and small
hope is entertained for their safety.
Natives are subject to the most bar

although there may be some eXaggera-

in the main the stories are correct
The horror Is intensified by confrma-

subjected to unspeakable barbarities
and tortures, being stripped and slowly
dubbed to death. These are some VI

terrible vengeance. The newspapers
are calling loudly for swift punishment.
The Russian Government, which does
not encourage missionary work. may
prove lukewarm in this matter.
