RUSSIA
Was the |nstigator Of Chinese
Riots
RESTORE THE EMPEROR
Is Believed to be Only Solu>
ton Of the Difficulty.

London, June 23.-A Shanghai spe-
clal last night gives additional de-
tails OF the bombardment at Tien
Tsln. 1t is reported that it had been
bombarded lnceSsantly for three days,
The entire British and French set
Elements have been destroyed and
heavy casualties are reported.
The Chinese number at least Is. 600
inside the city, while emmissares
crowd the foreign quarters setting
flrc to the buildings.
The Chinese guns worked steadily
from the walls Of the native CITY.
The conSulateS were all DESTROYED,
and the foreign inhabitants nockcd to
the town hall and relnlorcements were
implored.
The Russians are now entrenched
in the depot, restricting the advance
OF the enemy who are in overWnelm-
ing numbers. There is no word from
Seymour and it is feared the relief
column has Jared badly. There is an
exodus of foreigners from the Yang
Isl kiang forts to Shanghai and
Japan.
Many consider Shanghai unsafe
owing to the absence Of foreign ships.
The foreigners and commercial men
are all of the opinion that the Chinese
government is wrecked beyond repair.
The only solution of the rising anarchy
will be the establishment of new
government controlled by civilized
nations. The popular plan is the res
toratson Ci the emperor If found
alive.
1t is the universal belief that Rus
sla instigated the rioting, expecting
to march her army to Pekin and pro-
claim herself the protector of China
under the guise of restoring peace but
she achieved a tiaSco on account of the
prompt action of the powers. No
confidence is expressed for Lii Hung
CHING, who is expected to follow the
policy of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Kemptf through the British consul
