LONGKONG, APRIL 3D, 16.
THE NorileChina Daily News appears to have been taken to task for publishing
mendacious native versions of the recent affair at Nanchang, and our contemporary explains that. "No-one could think that when we reprinted the Nanjangpan'a dis- patches we endorsed them in any way; wo merely reprinted them that our readers might know the version that was being circulated to excite an auti-foreigo feeling in the Chinese." And to leave no doubt as to its opinion of the mischievous reports referred to, our contemporary says:
We have already expressed a decided opinion, based on all the evidence that had come to our kuowledge, that the magistrate CHIANG at Nanchang committed suicide, and that no-one it the Roman Catholic Mission had any band in his death. We know now on the highest authority that this opinion is confirmed by the post-mortem exumi ation, which has left no doubt that it was a case of deliberato suicide
This, as confirming our own view of the matter, and once for all settling the only material fxt, was gratifying reading; but in the same isane of our contemporary there appears a letter from a Protestant missionary which has given us still greater satisfaction. It has raised the community. to which the writer belongs, very con siderably in our esteem. "Fairminded " begins,
