of PekIn.
London, July 16.-"Revenge to-day,
mourning tomorrow" is practically
the universal cry Of Europe, but it is
sOrrowfully admitted that there can
be no revenge to-day, nor, perhaps, for
many to-morrows, for the incredible
barbarities that are reported to have
marked the last scenes within the le-
cations at Pekin.
CONFEDERATION Spreading.
Nothing is clearer than that the anti
foreign confagration is rapidly per-
meating even hitherto quiescent prov
inces, and, though it is recognized that
every day which leaves Pekin in the
power of the mob, increases the perils
and difficulties of the situation, moth
ing comes from the diplomats of Eu-
rope to show that the powers have
overcome these jealousies. resulting

handful of women, children and men
comprising the internationl colony
in Pekin.
Nothing New Received.
Nothing has been received that adds

Admiral SeymOur's Move.
The departure of Admiral Seymour
from Tien Tsin and the movement of
warships toward Shan-Hai-Kuan, on
the gulf of Lilo Tung, are taken to in
dictate that this route may be adopted
for an advance on Pekin, which is dis

The members of the Chinese legation
still assert that they have no informa-
ton concerning the fate of the foreign
ers in Pekin.
