London, June 21.-The most startling
news from the Far East is the rumored
death of Vice Admiral Seymour, but no
credence whatever is attached to the re-
port here.
The statement that Ii Hung Chang has
cancelled his passage TO Pekin. is inter

Dowager Empress urgent command is not
clear. but evidently fear of a revolution
in Canton in the event of his departure
induced the consuls to bring strong pres.
