This news is corroborative of that
contained in a recent cablegram from
Corsul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
although the consul generals dispatch
gave his Picking news the date Of the
9th, saying that the final attack upon
the legations with guns was about to
begin on the 7tk of July. 1t Is sur
missed here that Mr.. GOodnOw got his
news from Sheng. who is certainly in
position to secure the first news from
Picking. Aside from the gloomy fore
cast given of the end of tie terrible
struggle of the legationers against the
inevitable, the significant features of
the message Is the coupling Of the fate
of the imperial government with that
of the foreign ministers. Officials here
get some satisfaction from this portion
of the dispatch. as it sustains them in
the position they have held from the
first that the Chinese government Is
not at war with Christendom, but is
confronting a formidable instruction.
