Tbe Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mull, telegraphing July 23, says "A letter from a Chinese official in Shang Tung has been received by an active functionary here, containing the following passage: 'At the beginning of the mouth the foreign missionaries made seveial attempts to send message out of Pekin, but, thanks to tbe strict watch kept on I the city, the bearer were all cantiht and executed. Un the 4th inat. only 400 foreigners were left alive in Pekin, aud one night, when the big guns were incessantly fired, it was known that all the legations and foreigners were fin- iahed, although pretended telegiatns contradicted these facta.' " Tbe St. Petersburg correspondent ol the Daily Mail asserts that there are differences ot opinion in tbe Kussian council of war. The minister of war, General Kuropatlrin, wishes to send 100,000 men to clear the rebels out of Manchuria. On tbe other hand, ac cording to this correspondent, Emperor Nicholas wishes tbe operations limited to tbe defense and pacification ot the frontier districts. Let two strong armies, one of the allies in the south and the other of Russian in the north, confront the Chinese, and tbe rising ao the czar is said to argue would be bound to collapse. "We want uo conquests," be is reported to have de clared at the conclusion 'of the sitting of the council. "What we desire is to protect our frontier and to steer into smooth waters the Chinese ship of state, now buffeted by the waves o civil war." There is nothing further tbis morn ing that throws any lixht upon the mys terious situation. Two urgent dU patches were addressed yesterday by the Chinese minister to the Pekin gov ernment and the administration of tel ecraobs. strongly recommending the lestoration of telegraphic comrunnica tion. so as to enable the powers to learn of the safetv of the foreign nun liters. Until snob proofs are secured, no one here is inclined to alter the opinion that the Chinese are merely juggling to gain time. Kumor circujates briskly aronua the personality ot Li Huug Chang, lie is credited with a mission to offer to cede to the' allied powers two provinces as indemnity tor the Pekin outrages and also to offer to restore order and give facilities for trade with the ontaide world, on coudition of the surrender of Kiao Chou, Wei Hal Wei and Man ohuria by the powers and the with Jrayral of ail missionaries.

A special to the Record from Peoria, 111., says: George himoou, a Persian studeut who haa been attending college iu Illinois for several years aud ia (waning the summer in Peoria, today received a cablegram from his home at Oroomiah, Persia stating that his brother had been oap- tured by .Mohammedans aud that there has lieen a guneral massacre of 8,000 Chrlatiiius iu Oroomiah. The letter states that the feeling of the Mohain medaus aguiuat the native Christiana is growing, and that there have been sev eral haud-to baud battles with fatal! ties ou both sides.

Although tb American 'and British force ar working harmoniously, tb quettioo of meaa of communication between Takn and Pekin give evidence ot jealousy between the power, and other dispatch from Tien Tiln show tb language difficulty ha been ham pering tb military operations. A dis patch to tbe Daily ew from Tien Tsin, dated July 14, and describing tb fighting, tays: "Colonel Liscnm mistook tbe road. and waa nearly isolated. General Dorwood, on premature report from tbe Japanese commander that the city bad been entered, ordered a general a.Iavoc. which proved A costly error. Much yaloabls time was lost and trou bl occasioned yesterday afternoon be cause massenger between General r us biuaand General Dorwood did not ondsr stand each other' language.' Tbo Tien Tsin correspondent ot the Daily Mail ay that when tbe Chinese regular saw th Boxer who led th attack being killed, they began to re tire. He assert that the admirals hav decided that it will be useless to move toward Pekin without at least 60,000 men. ln an editorial referring to this atateraent, the Daily Mail com ment upon the American proposal to advance with 7,000 men. It says: "Wbave learned in Africa now dangerous it is to despise our enemies, and in the interest of civilization, we doiot wish to see inch a lesson read to tb United State by tbe 'heathen Chinese.' " A whole batch of Tien Tsin dis patches aie published today. All praise the gallantry of the Americans and Japanese. Tbe Standard's corre spondent says that tbe American at first made a mistake in underestimat ing the fighting capacity of the Chi nese, whose nr wa reaiiy temnc. He expresses some doubt about the ability of tbe allies to bold tbe posi tions captured unless thjey are rein forced. It appear tbat large hauls of silver were made by the allies, the metal being carried away in buckets, and the Chinese calmly assisting. Requests tor mediation. addressed to foreign powers are interpreted here to be apropos to a request for foreign aid to repress the rebellion, and U I lung Chang's statement thatb could restore order with 2,000 white troop i looked upon a a subtle argument in favor of appointing him to command the allied forces, to the exclusion of a Japanese. MARTIAL LAW RULES Troops Chinese Laundries Close. Chicago, July 25. The Chinese population of Chicago is perturbed over the reports from the various part Of the city that because of Caucasian an tipathy aroused by trouble in the Celes tial empire a bovcott has beeu institut ed against Chinese laundries aud truck farms. Wu Sung Lee, a banker Chinatown and probably the richest Mongolian, in the city, says four luun dries have been forced to suspend busl ness during the past week, and Chinese laundries generally report a falling off of 60 per cent iu their business. Bank er Wu said today: "The white peopl think we are in sympathy with the Boxers, and that tbey have our moral support. Nothing could be furthe from the truth. Every Chinese in the city regrets the trouble, and hopes that the foreigners have not been murdered Some ot us have even authorized the Chinese consuls at San Francisco offer to the Chinese government our services and onr property, to the end that the foreigners, especially the Americans, in China may be saved."

Tbe Minority of tho fishermen Canaal Tie Co the Knttw Salmon la dastrj of tho Rlvo. Vancouver, B. C, July 26. The crisis haa com in tbe strike which ha paralysed the mlmon canning industry on the Fraser river. Three thousand Japanese fiahermen, occupying 1,600 boats, started out trom tbe fiabing vil lage of Bteveston today under the pro tection of tbe Sixth regiment. The militiamen were formed in line around the wharves, and with loaded nties warned back the strikers, wbo bad hitherto prevented any fisherman this season from plying hi calling on the Fraser. For Steveston is under martial law, and tbe 600 member of tbe Fish ermen's union who bad soceasfully iu- timladated six times a many Japanese and Indian, found it a hopeless under taking to continue the fight when their enemie bad secured military authority as an ally. Lieutenant-Colonel Wor- mop, who is In command of the regi ment, sent to Steveston early this morn ing and made hi position more em phatic by hi declaration to the strike leaden that he and his men were there for business, not play, and that at tbe first evidence of an attack upon any fiaberman, be he Japanese or Indian, the troops would shoot to kill. Under tbe Canadian regulations, blank am munition in never supplied to riflemen upon such occasions aa this. Every member of the lour companies at Stev eston today bad 24 rounds of ball am munition, as desdly as any soldier in South Africa is supplied witb. It is doe to the action of the Japanese that the precipitation of the climax in the existing difficulty must be ascribed. For a time the Japanese wets bight enesrinto Aoqniewnce with tbe striken, but their supplies became exhausted and hunger was a freqennt visitor at their boat and in their cabins. , Tbey held a monster mass meeting and de cided to go out tbis morning, despite the threats of the white fishermen, who bad been holding out for 25 cents a fish, while the canners refused to pay more than 20 cents. This decision of tbe Japanese, tbe threat against them by the striken, and tbe rumor tbat the strikers planned to burn down all tbe 47 canneries on the Fraser river, in duced the municipal authorities of Steveston, backed by three magistrate, to appeal for military protection. Tbe white fishermen are very bitter against the soldieis, bnt are afraid ol tbe loAded rifles. Colonel Worsuop does not believe tbey will dare to at tack the 'Japanese upon their return from their fishing trip late tonight. and the canners think that the back bone of tbe strike has been broken. The Fishermen's Union, At a meeting today, 600 , members being present, again voted to decline the 20-cent rate Accepted by the Japanese. Their lead ers, who Left Steveston last night, re turned today and Advised the strikers to abandon the Fraser rivsr as a place of employment! if the canners did not eorae to their terms, but many striken do not tak kindly to this deal, especial- as they realize the canners can get all the fish they want so long as the Japanese are under military protection. Many of the inikers are individually in favor of accepting the 20 cents per fish which the Japanese are earning to day, and the Indians, who have hither to sided with tbe whites, ere now ready to follow the example of tbe Japanese.
