Ni:w Vojik, July 17. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says: In the lobby of the house of
commons last night it was declared that
the government had Issued orders for
the seizure of Li Hung Chang and for
his imprisonment at Hong Kong, pend
ing his deportation to some place in In
dia, in the event of his carrying out his
project of proceeding northward by sea,
in compliance with the summons which
hi has received from Pekin. English
gunboats and cruisers arc hovering ofT
the coast of the Province of Kwan Tung
with orders to intercept any vessel, no
matter what as it Hies, having the vice
roy on board, and to secure his person.
It iB resolved to hold Li Hung Chang
at a species of hostage, and, morever, it
appears that Sir Henry Blake, the gov
ernor of Hong Kong, has obtained
strong proof that the old vicoroy of
Canton, in spite of hie professions of
friendship for the foreigners, is in thor
ough sympathy and league with his old
friend and patriot, Prince Tunn. Sir
Henry cables that no less than 50,000
Mauser rifles and a quantity of quick
firing guns have reached Canton since
the beginning of the year, and have,
with the knowledge and approval of the
viceroy, been judiciously distributed
among those most likely to do execution
therewith against tho foreigners.
Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre

Washington, July 18. The antipathy
of the great majority of tho Chinese to
the Introduction of foreign religions into
their empire is tho cause ascribed by R
Kondo, president of the Japan Mai
Steamship company, to the present hos
tilitiee in the Orient. Occupying a high
position in the business and financial
circles in tho East, Mr. Kondo has had
excellent opportunities for observation
He declares that the eflbrtE of tho
missionaries have not been very fruitful
bo far as bringing China under Western
l leas is concerned. He thinkB the
Chinese are so thoroughly imbued with
the teachings of Confucius nnd other
Chinese sages that they are bitterly
hostile to all foreipn faiths, and resent
the advances of our missionaries.
When Mr. Konde was in China last
year he was informed by conservative
Chinese citizens that the people were
not avorse to foreigners coming to their
country to trade, but they would not
tolerate their attempts to spread outside
religions. Mr. Kondo savs the Chinoee
business iiiBtinct is as acute and fully
developed as that of any nation, and
through its airency their confidence may
be gained nnd the empire opened to for
eign commerce.
This gentleman regards lightly the
Btory that Japan and liussia ure likely
to clash over the Liao Tung PeninEula,
which Japan wished to absorb, but
which has become practically Russian
territory. He does not consider the
fact that Japan has increased her army
and navy and that Russia has gathered
100,000 men on the Siberian fiontier as
signifying any pending hostility between
tho two nations. He regards these
moves rather as means of protection
than aggression, in a word, he savs
thsre has been a great deal of exaggera
tion concerning Russia's and Japan's
attitudes, both in China and Corea.
Nothing could bo farther from Japan's
desire, he concludes, than to fight
Uussia, and the same is equally true of
Russia as regards Japan.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by tho chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. Georgo D. Williams, of

that she could not turn over in bed alone.

London, July 18 The Dally Mail pub
lishes a sensational dispatch from St.
Petersburg, dated Monday, which as
serts that there is no doubt that China
has declared war against Russia.
Tho Russian prrn-s," says tho corre
spondent, "is restricted to tho pubbca-
Hon of any dispatches from the front
has boon prohibited. I hear, however,
from a reliable source, that the Chinese
troops and t lie Boxers seized a Russian
t nine port vessel laden with munitions at
Ariagon (on the Amus river, about 18
miles from the Russian frontier), killing
almost tho entire Russian ofeort. They
next suddenly attacked and bombarded
the town of Blagovestchnesk, capital of
the Amur government, on the Amur
river. The garrison held out bravely,
but was finally overwhelming over
powered. Nearly all perished and tho
town was burned."
It h is been demonstrated by experience
that consumption can be prevented by
the early use of One Minute Cough Cure.
