Punor tina the Empress DoWager, at
least, ii not the Emperor, too has left
Pekin for WI Tai Hsien in Sneng ST
province, via PaO ling Flu, for he told me
that some Of the privy council crossed
the LuBon bridge on the 18th with ban
ners bearing inscriptions denotlng that
they formed a part OF the imperial es-
c0rt, and that Lu Chuan Liu, governor
OF Kiang Su, sent a telegram on the 18th
to the southern viceToys and governors
ordering them to forward all war
funds to Shen 81. But If an i'm
pariaI decree was issued on the 18th the
departure if 1t took place at all, must
have been subsequent to that date,
Il have also learned from another re-
liable source that Princes Ching, Yung
Lu and Kang Hal vi, are still IN Pekin,
though Prince Yuan has followed the
Emp ess DCWager.
A telegram dated the Goth from the
Japanese foreign office says:
1.-The Japanese consul at Annoy tele-
graphs as follows n August IS:
cit Is reported from the interior that
in Ting Chou Flu and Lung Yuen Chou
several Christian ehapels were destroyed
by mobs. The anti-Christian movement
appears to be spreading toward the dis
trict of Chang Chou Flu. Thsre do not,
however, seem TO be any foreign mis-
sIopRries in the interior"
Prince Ching, referred to as still at
Pekin, is the Chinese official most friend
Iy to the foreigners, while Prince Tuan,
who is said TO have followed the Empress
DoWager. is the head OF the ant1-for-
eign element. Yung Lu probably is the

following letter from Chicago, under
date of August IA. to the Russian ambas-
sador. She says:
1--WE have been living at Tien Tsin the
past year. We arrived home from there
only last week. Our steamer was met
by a number Of reporters upon arrival
at San Francisco, and although was
extremely careful in what 1 said to
them, great many strange things have
been put into my mouth by some dis
agreeable people. The worse of all was
an article which attributed to me the
most horrible stories of atrocities COM
m1tted by the Russian soldiers 1 wish
to deny these statements in full. III

during these terrible days of the siege
