THE CHINA TEA TRADE.
To-day the foreign community has been thrilled with horror at the new tarily reaching us. of a masacre of missionaries, men, woman, and children, in Pao-ting-fu, the capital city this province, while under the protection of Im- perial troops. Children were butchered before their parents' eyes, white women were ravished and carried into captivity, mothers and fathers were tortured and murdered. Massacres by Red Indians never call in vain for vengeance, but, though Puo-ting-in is oly 80 miles from Peking, the troops remain here inactive, their one thought and wish to be given work or be recalled from Peking. Sarely the civilized world will not suffer this cruel massacre to remain unavenged and raise ne hand to ascer tain the fate of the poor martyred Christains and white women.

The sanctity of the Forbidden City was respected mainly through the joint action of Russia and Japan, both Powers being opposed to a displacement of Peking as the capital. Russia has occupied Kin-chan arid the branch railway to the Nan- piso collieries, thus securing possible control of the richest coal-mines in North Chinn. She will occupy Shan-hai-kwan, which is capable of easy railway connection with Peking, while her military occupation of Manchuria is proceeding triumphantly.
