idea of sending Mr.. Rockhill to Chi
ma" says the Standard editorially this
morning, lis an excellent one and
might be advantageously initiated by
the British and other governments"
The Standard then proceeds to COM
ment upon the great ignorance preva-
lent in Europe, not only of recent
events, but of Chinese affairs gener-
ally. The cabinet council convened by
Lord Salisbury yesterday came day
earlier than usual and it is expected
that it will be followed by state
ment in parliament throwing light on
the situation. The Chinese assertions
that the members of the foreign lega-
tons are still safe have been so often
repeated that they are beginning to
again raise hopes in some quarters.
According to the Daily Telegraph's st
Petersburg. correspondent the Russian
government is already in possession
of definite news that all foreigners in
PelSin were massacred on Julyl6 Nj.
Del Casses circular only goes to prove
that so far the powers have failed to
arrive at any concerted plan of ac
tion. The Yokohama correspondent of
the Daily Mail, who repeats his state
ments regarding the Jealousy felt
among the allies on the subject ora
japanese commander in chief and the
general lack of unity among them,
adds: The Japanese correspondents
charge the Russian soldiers with APP
palling barbarism toward the Chinese.
They declare that the Pei Ho is full
of the corpses Of women and children
and that the Russians loaded 300
bodies on junk and burned them"
Shanghai reports that three mission
stations on Pc Yang lake have been
destroyed, but it is believed that the
missionaries escaped. All the mis-
sionaries at She Ko, KERN and Kuan
Cheng Tseu, in Chinese Manchuria,

native city of Tien Tsin they found
the Chinese dead piled breast high and
1t was feared this would result in an
outbreak of pestilence. Sixteen of the

Ons The Shanghai correspondent of
the Times expresses doubt that the
southern ylceroys will be able to with
stand the pressure of the provincial
officials to join the anti-foreign move
ment. He thinks that already there
are signs of wavering on the part OF
the yiceroy of Nankin, Lu Kun Yih
and says; at is admitted at Nankin
that LUIS authority is not sufficient
to guarantee law and order north OF
the river hence the foreign officials al

correspondent confirms the statement
of the correspondent of the Daily Elk
