"THE CHENCHOU MURDERS.
OHE
BRITISH DEMANDS ACCEPTED.
PUNISHMENT OF GUILTY OFFICIALS, We are indebted to the Shanghai Daily News for, translation of an Imperial Decree issued in accordance with the demands of the British Minister. It is dated 2nd November
and reads as follows:
With reference to the massacre of the English missionaries, Bruce and Lowis, at Chinchou, Hunan province, a short time age, we have already in response to the memorial of the Governor given commands that Chên Tsi-nien, district magistrate of Yuanlinghsien; Liu Liang-ju, First-Captain of the 'Chênchou garrison battalin; Chang Yao-k'üci, Lient, Colonel of the Yidattalion; the former district magistrate of Yunnlinghsien, Wan Chao hain; and Major-General Yen Wulin, Brigadier Commanding the Yi Brigade; should be first cashiered and reduced to the ranks for the purpose of undergoing trial. We have now received another memorial from the said Governor Yu Lien-san stating that when the riot first began, the late Mr. Lowis fled from the mission premises and in passing the yamen of the First Captain, Liu Liang-ju, the latter shut his yamên gates, refusing to receive the said missionary, in consequence of which said missionary was beaten to death by the mob. With regard to the Major-General, Yen Wu-lin, when the mob was passing his yamên en route to the chapel he remained inactive as if igoorint of the purpose of the rioters and omitted to render the necessary protection to the missionaries and mission premises, while as to Wan Chur-hsin, the former Chibhsien of Yuanlinghsien, know. ing that he was so soon to be superseded he purposely took no notice of the current rumours, omitting to use any efforts to put a stop to them. In consequence of this it brought about the said serious riot. With regard to the other officials of Chenchou their faults were of various degresa: such as either failure to give the proper protection or they did not beforehand take the necessary steps to give such protection. All were, however, deserving of punishment. We have again and again commanded our military and civil officials to give every protec- tion to foreigners and missions, yet our orders have not been observed, as witness the recent serious affair in Chênchon. Now in the case of the First-Captain Liang-ju, his gilt was doubly serious above all others in that he did not ye protection when he was able to o so, and we particularly execrate the man's conduzi We hereby command that he be summarily execu ed. The cashiered Major-

FRANCE AND SIAM,
TEXT OF AGREEMENT. The exact wording of the Convention settl- ing the questions between France, and Siam is as follows:-
The President of the French Republic and his Majesty the King of Siam, being desirous of rendering closer and more cordial the friendly relations existing between the two. countries, and of setiling certain difficulties which have arisen concerning the interpreta tion of the Treaty and of the Convention, of Oct. 3, 1893. have decided to conclude a new Convention, and have appointed for this purpose as their Plenipotentiaries the follow. ing:-
The President of the French Republic, M. Théophile Delcassé, deputy, Minister of Foreign Affairs, &c, &C.;
H.M, the King of Siam, Phya Suriya Nuvatı, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to the President of the French Republic, &c., &c.;
Who baving communicated their full powers, found in good and duc order, have agreed to the following dispositions >
Art. 1-8. The frontier between Siam and Cambodia starts on the left bank of the Grand Lake, from the mouth of the River Stung Ro!. uos, and follows the parallel from this point in an easterly direction to the River Perk Komping Tiam. Then turning northward, it coincides with the meridian as far as the Prom Dang Rek chain of mountains. Thence it fol lows the watershed between the basins of the Nam Sen and the Mekong, on the one hand, and the Nam. Moun on the other; and rejoins the Pnom Padang Range, the summits of which it follows eastward to the Mekong Above this point the Mekong remains the fron- tier of the Kingdon of Siam, in conformity with Article I. of the Treaty of Oct. 3, 1893.
§ 2. As for the frontier between Luangpra- bang, right bank, and the provinces" of
i
uang Phicbai and Moang Nan, it starts fom the tekong at its confluence with the Nam Huang, and following the crest of the mountains that separate the valleys of of the Nam Huong and the Mekong, it is directed to the westward until it meets the watershed between the Mekong and Me-nam basins Turning northward from this point it follows the watershed lines between these two basins, up to the source of the river, which coming from the south-east empties into the Nam Ngnum, then the course of this river atid the Nam Ngoum itself up to its confluence with the Ban Luak. The frontier then turns back, nscending this river to the watershed line-ba- tween the Ma-nam and Mekong basins, and follows this line westward to the Nam Kop river, which it follows down to the Mekong.
§ 3-It is nevertheless understood that the present Convent on does not, any more than the Treaty and Convertion of 1893, in any way change the traditional relations between his Majesty the King of Siam and that portion of Luang-plirabang situated on the right bank of the Mekong
Art. At the same time that the pro vinces of Melouprey and Bassac (and in general the territory cast of the frontier indicated in Clause I, paragraph r', are handed over by the Siamese Government to the French authorities, the French troops will evacuate the town of Chantaboon occupied by them provisionally in virtue of Anicle VI. of the Convention of Oct. 3, 1893.
Art. 1.-The different restrictions figur ing in Clauses III and IV. of the Treaty of Oct. 3, 1893, are suppressed His Majesty the Kin: of Stam, however, promises that whatever troops be sends or keeps in the whole Siamese basin of Mekong will always be of Siamese nationality under command of Siamese officer, An exception to this rule. made in favour of the Siamese gendirmerie at present com- manded by Danish officers. In case the Siamese Government should desire to substitute for these officers foreign officers of some other nationality it must previously come to an underst inding with the French Government. "
Art. IV. In the future, if the Royal Govem- ment desires to cons ruct ports, canals, or rail. ways in the Siamese part of the basin of the Mekong, especially railways destined to con- nect the capital with any point in the aforesaid hasin, it shall come to an agreement with the French Government in the event of its not being found possible to carry out these works with Siamese labour and capital exclusively, With regard to the use of ports, canals, and railways in the Siamese part of the basin of the Mekong, as well as of those in other portions of the Kingdom, it is understood that i
