trv have strict orders to protect Chinese
residents. and those guilty of outrages
AGAINST them will be Immediately arrested
and condemned to prison.
The Russian army is crazed by desire
for revenge. Eager thousands are begging

The Government officials here are extra
ordinarily busy, and there is promise OF
great events at an early day.

fore we went to press, the alarm OF fire
was raised. 1t was the kitchen at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Henry f. Harman. The
kitchen is an ell, connected with the main
residence, and the roof was blazing when
the hose were brought to play upon the
flames, but fire was conquered by the
heavy stream of water in a few minutes.
The fire caught from defective tiue, and

heavy, and MIR. Harman's loss will not be
large.

Fshanf has issued proclamation favora-

Fshanf is the province lying immediate

that city and Pekin.
Consul General Goodnow's short dis
patch goes to confirm the general belief
that the situation in China is steadily
growing worse instead of better. The
Honan Shansi referred to by MIR. Good
now as the place where the viceroy APP
pears to favor the Boxers, is said at the
State Department to be actually two sepa-
rate provinces of vast extent lying in the
western and northern portion of China,

province lying directly west of Chill, IN
which Pekin is located. Honan adJolns
