THE ANTI-FOREIGN- OUTRAGES.
THE BRITISH MINISTER'S ULTIMATUM.
SEVERE MEASURES THREATENED.
VICEROY LIU TO BE PUNISHED.
SHANGHAI, September 6th.
I p.m. Telegraphic Information just received from Peking states that Sir Nicholas O'Conor, the British Minister, has notified the Taungli Yamen that Llu Pin-chang, the scheming Viceroy of Szechuan province, who la mainly responsible for the recent outrages perpetrated upon British subjects in Chengta and other citles ta Szechuen province, must be punished. If he is not punished promptly and adequately the Minister asserts that severe measures will be promptly adopted by the British Government.
The Yamen has repiled to Sir Nicholas O'Conor in a conciliatory manner, plead ing for leniency on the grounds of its helplessness and inability to deal effec tively with the many difficulties with which it is best.
Sir Nicholas O'Conor's Instructions are imperative, and he has now insisted on the punishment of Liu.

We are glad to learn that Sir Nicholas O'Conor has tiken a very serious view of the treacherous conduct of the Chiese officials in Fahklen la insulting the English and American Consuls and holding them up to ridicule and contumely in the eyes of the Chinese. When the news of the deadlock reached. Peking the British Minister proceeded to the yamen, and a- stormy 'scene, bordering du violence, ensued. The Chinese officials were completely tiken aback by the unexpected turn of affairs and the ' threatening attlinde of Minister upon whose complacency they had apparently counted. The result of the interview was the despatch of urgeat telegrams to the Foochow authorl-
·les ordering them to remove the obstructions to the proceedings of the Joint Commission. It is, sayu the China Gasstis of the 31st ultimo, now reported that the Tsung-li Yamèn are so terrified "at the menacing attitude of Sir Nicholas O'Conor that they have wired to the Chinese Minister in London to use his influence to get the British Minister recalled."
