Russia's Overmastering
Position.
March into Imperial Palace a
Russian Triumph.

London, September 12-The Times
publishes this morning additional adj
vices from Pezin correspondents, Dr.
Morrison, under date of August 81.
'sThe censorship, which is under Sir
Alfred Gasslee's control, makes it Diff
cult, - says the correspondent, t'to convey
a true picture Of the present situation in
Pekin. Today the foreign community
was thrilled with horror at the news Of
the massacre of the missionaries at Pao
Ting Flu, who were under the protection
Of the imperial troops. Children were
butchered [ efore the eyes of their parents.
Whiteywomen were ravished and car
r1ed into captivity. Parents were tort
ured and murdered
s'1Iassacres by Red Indians never call
IN vain for vengeance. Yet the troops re-
main here Inactive. Their one thought
and wish is to be given work or to be re-
called from Pekin. Surely the civilized
world will not suffer this cruel massacre
to remain unavenged and make no efor t
to ascertain the fate OF the poor martyred
Christians and white women
''SInce the relief of the legations one
feature stands conspicuous-the predom-
nance of Russia and the over-m astering
position she is now asserting here. The
pageant in the forbidden city on August
q was a triumphant entry by Russia,
followed by the other powers. Russia
did the honors, greatly to the chagrin OF
the other ministers.
Russian troops are pouring into Pc.
kin daily. Nineteen hundred came yes
terday and two thousand eight hundred
the day before. Already the Russians
outnumber the Japanese, and they will
soon outnumber the combined forces.
Their stay Is assuming every character OF
permanency. Cossacks daily raid the
country and drive the Chinese pageants
and laborers in herds, through the desert
ed and dismantled city setting them to
build their military camp.

FOR PAO TING FU.
No News That Expedition Has Actually
Started.

London, September 10, 4.s0 a. m.-No
news has been received that the Pao Ting
Flu expedition has actually started. An
un dated despatch from lien Tsin reports
that it was delayed by bad weather.
Shanghai correspondents confirm the
assertion of DR.. Morrison, the Pekin cor
respondent of the Times that the military
parade through the imperial palace was
a Russian triumph. DR.. Morrison's ac-
count comes as a timely reinforcement of
the opinions beginning to be expressed in
London papers to the effect that, Gin spite
of all her talk about the evacuation of
Pekin, Russia has made no sign OF with
drswal, but on the contrary, is continual
ly shipping fresh troops from Odessa to
China
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post says: 1T is considered
certain that Ii Hung Chang has bribed
Russia and Germany to evacuate Pekin.
The former Will get .Manchuria. 1t is not
known what terms have been offered to
Germany.
A special despatch from Shanghai gives
report that the Americans and French
nearly came into conflict in P5kin be-
cause the former had insisted upon en-
tertng the palace before the formal an
trance of the international troops.
