CHINA'S SIDE.
Official Statement by the I'm
perial Government
Regarding the Origin and Pro-
greSs of the Disorders.

Washington, July 11.-An imperial
decree, dated third day of sixth moon
June 29), was received by telegraph
today by Minister WI from the Tao
Tai of Shanghai, transmitted on July 1,
from the treasurer of the Chi Ii prov
ince who received it by special cour-
ier on June 80, from the board of war,
who in turn received it from the privy
council in Pekin. The decree is as fol-
lows:
1.-The circumstances which led to the
commencement of fighting between the
Chinese and foreigners were of such
complex, confusing and unfortunate
character as to be entirely unexpected.
''Our various capable diplomatic
representatives abroad, owing to their
distance from the scene of action, have
had no. means of knowing the true state
of things and accordingly cannot lay
the views of the government before the
ministers for foreign affairs of the re-
spective powers to which they are ac-
credited. Now we take this opportunity
of going fully into the matter for the
information of our representatives
aforesaid.
In the first place there arose in the
provinces of Chi Lii and Shan Tung a
band of rebeIlious subjects who
had been in the habit of practicing box
ing and fencing in their respective viii
lages. and at the same time clothing
their doings with spiritualistic and
strange rites. The local authorities
failed to take due notice of them at the
time. Accordingly the infection spread
with astonishing rapidity. Within the
space of a month it seemed to make it's
aDpearance everywhere, and finally
even reached the capital itself Every
one looked upon the movement as SUI
pernaturaI and strange, and many
Joined it
s"Then there were lawless and treach-
erous persons who sounded the cry Of
Down with Christianity about the mid
die of the fifth moon These persons be-
gan to create disturbances without
warning Churches were burned and
converts were killed. The whole city
was in a ferment. A situation was Gre
ated which could not be brought under
control At first the foreign powers re-
auested that foreign troops be allowed
to enter the capital for the protection
of the legations. The imperial govern
ment. having in view the comparative
urgency Of the occasion, granted the
request as an extra ordinary mark of
courtesy beyond the requirements of in
teluational intercourse over 500 for
eie1 troops were sent to Pekin- This
shows clearly how much care China
exercised in the maintenance Of friend
IL relations with other countries The
LEGATIONS at the capital never had
much to do with the people But from
the time foreign troops entered the city,
exclusively to the protection Of their
respective legations. They sometimes
fred their guns on the top of the city
walls, and sometimes patrolled the
streets everywhere. There We're reports
of persons being hit by stray bullets

Robbers Secure $4,000 and
Escape, in Kentucky.

Paducah, KY, July 1.-THE Illinois
Central fast train from New Orleans to
Chicago, was held up and robbed this
morning at 1920 o'clock two miles south
of Wickliff, Ky. The train was tagged
and when it stopped the bandits entered
the cab. The fireman, J. ]. Fryisch, was
struck on the head with the butt of a
revolver and badly hurt. The robbers,
six in number, cut off the engine and
express car and ran mile and a half
to F't. Jefferson, near the Ohio river and
within sight of the Missouri shore. Here
they blew the express safe and secured
all the valuables it contained and cross
ed into Missouri. They dropped one
package containing $500 on the Ken
lucky side, and another package on the
Missouri side. both of which have been
recovered. The robbers did not attempt
to molest the passengers.
A special train with bloodhounds and
an armed posse, left Jackson, Tenn, for
the scene and it is understood Missouri
officers are hot on the robbers trail
About $4,000 was secured in addition to
money dropped by the robbers.

TREASURE TRAIN
On the B. & o. Nearly Wrecked
by Robbers.

Philadelphia, July u.-According to
officials of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
way, a deliberate attempt to wreck the
Washington express bearing So, ,0oo, 600
in gold to the sub-treasury in New
York came near being successful early
today at Folsom, a short distance out
side of this city The train consisted
of two sleepers, two day coaches and
three baggage cars. and left Washing
ton at 11:30 last night. 1t was due here
at 3;lo this morning An open switch
at Folsom overturned the engine and de-
rallied the three baggage cars, but no
