It was reported hora,” and the same reports; appeared in the Shanghai papers, that some of the Chinese had been executed in Chongtu for complicity in the late riots (by the way is "riot" the best torrs to use for un attack planned and carried out with official-sanction ?} I wrote immediately to Chongtu, tęs trusty-pore": "6th Oct., experioneal strong wind up to cativo, inquiring a to the truth of the report. the Blat, tihen a strong gale from the N. and Ho replied that at the time first reported NN.W.which turned into w typhoon on the lat no srecations bad taken place at all.

On the 3rd and 4th strong motion, of these were charged with any connection with sometimes zonifug to a gale, with a very high va 14 tho rict, but asemite mot robberies. In letter s02 writion 3nd October, ko again says that up to that time no one had boom exocated because of the riot. On the contrary, an umbrolls, inscribed with ton thousand names (can ming size), was about to be presented to the retiring Viceroy, who is desirous of leaving, on a testimony of their gratitude to him for provoating the punishment of the rioters. Choo, of the placard fame, who was appointed to go to Enchou os Trotai of Southern Ezech. han and whoso appointinent was cancelled from Peking, and who was also to be degraded and prevented from holding any office, is now in tho likin office at: Chengtu, solacing himself with soft squeezes and adding to his pits What does degradation, and provouting from holding any office, amount to when the supposed degraded man is immediately given such a fine position, even though it does not passou a seal and so may not be what the Chiness technically call an office?"
We hear of the difficulties the officials are putting in the way of the Commission at Kucheng, though that is near the coast, sad the yamen of its Vichrey with range of guns from the men of war. Imagine then the difficulties the Commission will encounter in Chengt, a thonand miles by water from the nearest gnu.. beat, and the chief criminals the ex-Viceroy, the prozent Tautai, and the ex-Chief of Pulive, Chen. Everyone knows that the fact of riot continning a second day without any check in a vice-regal sity, by Chingga eustama, condamna the Vico. roy that Chen put out, the pinsarde, in which it stated that he had clear proof that foreigners atele small children, is not disputed; that the ¿Trotai of Western Szechnen refusőd to give aid' is hot danied; those ero tào thrọs chief criminals. Let the American Commission Arst fit at Shanghai, summon, these men before them, satisfy themselves in regard to their guilt, give an adequate sentence for their crimes and see it carriel into offoct. Then, if they wish to fix the guilt of (Eolaser oriminale, let them come up to Chongba and sit. But if those three men are not Erst panished, any such Commission, coming to Chongtu will boa farce. If the Commission bus not authority enough to sammen these men to Shanghai. they have not authority oncugh to effect saything in Chengtu; if they cannot get evidence enough at Shanghai to conriot them, they will not get ovidence enough to conviol any official at Chongtu.--Mercury servespondent.
