letter Just received by the Missionary So
cipty Of the Livingston Avenue Baptist
.fh1rch of New brunswick. y. j.. Of the
way Some missionaries Were slaughtered IN
Shin-si Province China. Mrs. Grant gives
as her authority an cye-witness. not con

the account says:
When his first batch of missionaries WAS
brought in. Su. Ifsien ordered them To be
brought straight Ia his Yamen. and placed
them standing few feet apart. The Gov

mainder of the unhappy missionaries were

SAYS EMPIRE MIST FALL.
New York. Dec. H.-China is on the verge
of partition. There is 10 way by which the
integrity of the nation can be sustained.

stationed at Pdo-TingFu by the American
Board Of Foreign Missions. and escaped

Whoever may have doubted this before
will believe with me now on hearing that
the anti-foreisn element has again issued
inneundoes threatening the lives Of all
Foreigners.
