says:
Railway communication between Tien-

Tsun, the second station from here.
Two bridges have been destroyed.
1T is rumored that the Boxers will make
determined attempt to burn the station
at ,rientsin tonight"
Such other adVices as have been
received here indicate no i'm
provement in the Chinese situation. All
dispatches, on the contrary, are of an
ominous character. A message from
Shanghai says:
"A telegram from Chung-King states
! that a Boxer riot has occurred at Yunnan-
Flu. The buildings of the China inland
mission were partly destroyed. The Bible.
Christian, and Roman Catholic Missions
were utterly destroyed. The missionaries
have arrived safely in Yamen."
Japan has taken steps to greatly in
creasb her forces on Chinese soil. A de-
spatch from Yokohama says that a mixed
regiment has been sent out and that 9TH
eTs are expected to follow at an early day.
japanese officials are thoroughly incensed
over the murder of their representative
in Pekin, and the feeling against Russia
