London, July 25. The Chinese min

eouimnnicated to the prexs the folio
ins dispatch trom tjbeng, director of
the Cbineae railways and telegrapba,
and Tao Tai, of Shanghai, dated febang
bai, July 28:
."Information trim Pekin, dated July

without any miasms', the German ex
cepted. General Ynng Ln is gointr to
memorialize the throne to send them
all nmler escort to Tien Tain, in the
hope that tbe military operations will
then be stopped."
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.
Massacre In Pernla.
. Hicaco, July 28. 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. Mr. Shimoon'
father is a native missionary, and this
fuct adds to the wrath against him and
bis family. '

London, Joly 26. Sir Claud Mae-
Donald' message, dated Joly 4, ap

don a only a prelude to the absolute
confirmation ol tb massacre. This it

ter here. Tb newspaper suggest
that the British minister' dispatch

same tiro a Mr. Conges', under tb
Mm term.
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

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."

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.
