THE MORMON INVASION OF

JAPAN.

On Jme the th, the Chanellor of the Japanese Legation was barba.ously murdered at the Yangsing Ge; on June the zoth the Envoy Plenipotentiary of Germany was assas sinated while going to the Taungli Yamen to tratract public business; and from that day to

rible religion, if religion it may be called, is quite contrary to that. If they had come, to this country, being exiled from their own-native country, it will no doubt.trouble us, because a degenerated section of the people may thus find a good pretext for their doing vices and this is likely to bring no' good effect, no, a great danger, to our beautiful ista ds. The pride of Japan can never be sacrificed to the question- áble Mormonisio.. They must abandon any hope of success in this country beyond they might collect a number of ignorant class people as their followers.

The Foreign Governments concerned, as soon as they received intelligence of these doings, Bent armies over sea to quell the disorders, protect their nationals and chastise the persons who were responsible, The Taku, Forts, Tien- tsin and Paoling-fu, and many other places were taken by assault, and the Imperial troops and Boxers were everywhere overthrown it numerous battles and encounters, thousands of them being slain and the rest driven afar off beyond the confines of Chilli. The Princes and high officers of State guilty of participation in the crimes against foreigners have all been most severely punished, several having suffered the death penalty in accordance with the com mands of His Imperial, Majesty the Emperor of China. Provincial officials of all ranks have also been punished according to their offences. Heavy indemnities have been rightfully im posed by all the foreign States, and all civit and military exantinations have been suspend- er for a period of five years in the localities where foreigners were murdered or cruelly treated.

Condiga punishment having thus been ad- ministered, and: China, mareover having ex pressed regrets and having promised the other reparations- demanded by the Foreign Powers, friendly relations are now definitely restored, and the Foreign troops of all nation- alities, will gradually retire to their homes. Each Power will retain a permanent guard to protect its Legation; certain places between Peking and the sea will be occupied by foreign troops to preserve freedom of communication, and the Taku Ferte and

all others which might impede this freedom

of communication will be razed.

This Proclamation is issued by the Repre acntatives of the Foreign Powers so that all may know the true facts connected with the coming of the Allied Forces. It is also especi-

ally necessary that Chinese officials and people should take warning from the events stated and exercise extreme care to prevent any recurrence of disturbance or disorder,
