No.aulicntic details are as yet to hand, but there seems no room for doubt that at least sixty Christians have been killed. Some versions state that the Christians were holding service, when the chapel was attacked by Boxers, the doors fastened, and the building fired. This would easily account for the great loss of life. Others so were killed, and ultimately the crowd dis say that though a chapel was burnt, there was persed. The natives had firearms and are said. no one inside it.

ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING IN
SHANSI.
A dispatch received recently from members of the Reform Party at Taiyuenfu, dapital of Shansi, reports that since the assumption, a short time ago, by Yo Hsien, ex-Governor of Shanting, of the office of Governor of the former province, that notorious hater of all things foreign has alreatly begun to put a stop to all the reform measures of the. former enlightened Governor, Hu Ping-chih, such as the College of Western Sciences, the Foreign Police Sergeant Cameron and Constable Military Academy, colton yarn and woollen Devency with great difficulty effected the arrest mills, etc., etc.. Besides this he has also begun of these ruffians-in fact one of the prisoners his system of oppos tion to foreigners in the was one mass of bloody scars from head to font. province, a proceeding which, it will be re- it would appear that at 11ong Hom where member d, was stopped, although too late in this occurred, quarrels between the Chinese the day, by his being recalled by the Empress and Japanese sailors are becoming very com.Dowager, owing to complaints made by some mon, and the police are continually having to of the Foreign Ministers at Peking. It will settle these rows.
also be borne in mind that when the news of Vit sien's appointment to Shansi was published in these columns about two months ago, a note of warning was sounded at the time of what might be expected from such an official in a province where the Peking Syndicate was just commencing its exploita tions of railways and mines. As matters at present stand it also appears from the dispatch now quoted that where foreigners always found the people friendly and glad to give help to strangers, they are now gradually becoming forth from the provincial capital that the high more hostile, the hint having evidently gone authorities are hostile to foreigners, and it would therefore be well that the people should also follow suit. Another note of warning may therefore now be sounded, and that is that the Boxers may now be expected to soon appear in Shansi also, for it is well known that this notorious Manchu Governor is the actual author of this anti-foreign association.-V. C. D. News.
His Worship took allenicht view of the case, and sentenced three of the prisoners to 14 days imprisonment with hard labour, the fourth and fifth being respectively awarded one and three months with hard labour.

WEIHMWERS STATUS. Weihaiwei chy must be included in British territory, as your correpondent has urged be fore. What is a city?. Nanking is one, so is Peking, but what have sura cities in common with Weihaiwei? A wall. In point of fact Weihaiwei is not a city at all, it is a walled village, nothing more, it has no civil ank, it is governed by a police magistrate, who is paid by the British, and is sparsely populated. 115 possibilities as a_hotbed of sedition and mis- chief-making have been suficiently illustrated during the list two years.
POSTAL DEFECTS.
# fort.
The suggestion made from time to time in your columns during the past year have su evidently met with favourable consideration at postal headquarters, that your correspondent would mention current disabilities, easily removable. In the first place we have but one steamer calling here regularly, the M-Y. Kis Nagato Maru, which pays s nightly visit. For some reason neither the Shanghai office on the outward, nor the Chefon office on the return ship, use the opportunity to send our mail matter along. This is specially a hardship when an International inail is involved though the mail for the Fleet is brought by the Japanese stehmer. In the second place, where the International "mail goes from Shanghai to Chefoo without railing here, the Naval authorities dispatch a gunboat to meet it there,. Too often site returns with the bags for the fleet only, leaving the shore mail to come overland should not be tho meet this exigency. The courtesy of the com much to ask the staff of the Chefoo office to manders of the gunboats is proverbial, so we can only assume that some red tape necessity or something of that sort necessitates the land- ing of bags and consequent delay which involves the loss of the opportunity. But the clifficulty cannot be insuperable.
OFFICIAL RECOGNITION NEEDED. One other matter of importance is that the British authorities should now insist that the Chinese magistrates should now publicly and officially recognise the transfer of territory. superior force to account for the foreigners Until that is done they can always plead presence. And this official recognition can best be made by the handing over of the tax account books dealing with the land concerned. No other plan will be satisfactory, and until follow trouble. There will not be any more these books are obtained trouble will only fighting, but there is no ground to hope that the future holds no difficulties in store for the Government.-N. C. D. News Car..
