Suoh informa tion as has reached tho state depart in. nt respecting tho reported death and a-.i-sin.it i. m of tho emperor of China goe to entirely discredit the theories that lie bus been poisoned or that ho is dead. It is not possible to say positively just what sources of in formation are available, but it is known that they uro regurded as entirely re liablo bv tho state department. Mortover, the situation in China is not believod by tho department officials to be as scrions ns represented, and a signal mark of confidence is the deci sion not to follow tho course ol certain European governments in sending at this time a force ol soldier or marine to Peking. The Boston, ono ot tho two Amori- can warship onlored to get a near as possible to the disturbance, will go aa fur as tho Tuku forts, at tho mouth of the Poi lio river, where sho must stop on uocount of lior draught. The little gunboat Petrel, however, is eipectod to go 80 mile up the river to Tien Tain, and hor steam launch might pro ceod from that point a far as Poking, il necessary. COLLISION IN TRAINYARDS.
