THE BARBAROUS OFFICIAL MURDER AT PEKING.

Peking, 3rd August. A tragedy has just been enacted in Peking which-for sheer cold-blooded barbarity must be almost unsurpassed in the annals of criminal Justice. Your readers are aware no doubt that a Mr. Shop Chin, who has been for some time a reporter here for some of the Japanese papers, was arrested on a charge complicity in the abortive plot at Hankow of some three years ago and has been done to death; but the man. ner of his death-carried out by direct order of the Empress Dowager-is such an outrage on all feelings of humanity that it seems desirable at the present moment that the truth should be known. The writer has been at some-pains 'o get at the facts, and the following is, to the best of his information, correct.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1903.

Five loyal and six learned, all Hukuang men

of fame.

Japan and Russia are "truggling for posscssion

-of Manchuria,

;

Henceforth the cradle of the racet is lost to

Chinn.

Partition comes apace, I cannot bear to think

of it

:

You Rulers of the country, have you never

seen the plans of division? Let all the public papers over the wide world, Because of my buried wrangs, publish the story

of my death.

For making public two harmless clauses in a.

'secret treaty

Chingkuan and Chungiang have worked me

this woc.

The thirty-one years of my life now past, Though I have conquered some name, are

now of no value..

Hence come prosperity or disaster, I shall heed

it not..

My. spirit will find happiness chanting in

Heaven.'

* Meaning Kang Yu-wei's party at the time of the coup d'état in 1898.

THE VICTIM'S ANTICEDENTS. The unfortunate Shen was a scholar and gentleman, and mixed freely with the better classes of Pelting, among whom he had nu merous friends. It seems possible enough that he was mixed up with the Hankow affair of 1900, in which a dozen or so of his country. men lost their heads; he having indeed, it is said, been a Secretary in the Viceroy's yamen at-Wuching. He escaper, however, 10 Japan, it is supposed, and having made there some friends he returned to Peking about a year ago as a newspaper reporter, and there is no sugAT gestion that since his retung he has in any way interfered in politics. The worst that can be said against him is that he was very pro Japanese and consequently anti-Russian, and his telegrams to the Japanese papers were not always well-founded. He himself ascribes, as will be seen later on, his calamity to the fact of his having stated in a Japanese paper that China had consented to two of the clauses in the Russian demands which he calls the secret Treaty, but in this he was mistaken apparently, though it is not impossible there was Russian influence at work.

THE TRIAL.

Unhappily for him, however, some pelty officials had got hold of the secret of his identity Thereupon a secret Decree was issued for his

and carried the information direct to the Palace.

acrest and consignment to the Board of Punish ments. We pass over the irregularity of his arrest, an also of his treatment in prison up to his trial and condemnation, as these are com mon incidents of political offences in China. The trial took place on the 26th of last month before a special Commission nominated by the Empress Dowager, and consister, not in calling evidence or even stating by whom or of what he was accused, but Chinese-like of simple interrogation of the prisoner,, with the in- struments of torture ready to quicken his memory. The unhappy man seems to have made up his mind to his fate from the first, as -he confessed, so it is said, freely, and no tor

ture had to be applied. The usual course of Chinese justice in such a case is that the Judges composing the Count give no verdict and pass no sentence, but simply report to the Throne. So far there was nothing unusual-nothing that is not passing every day in China. His friends fully expected that a Decree would appear next day for his execution; though some faint hopes were entertained, that as the ordinary law pre- scribes that no execution shall take place dur ing the great heat, the execution might be post- poned till the autumn.and thus give some faint chance of a reprieve.

THE DEATH OF SLAVES.

Now comes the horrible part of the story, --but it must be told. The Judges having done their part by reporting adversely, it may be presumed, the prisoner, it was then for the Throne, that is the Empress Dowager, to prescribe the punishment. The Decree was issued, hot that the man should be executed, not even that he should die by the "ling chib," but that he should be beaten to death in prison. Strange it is that creatures can be found to carry out such a sentence, but there seems no lack of them in the Board of Punishments, for no sooner was the Decree received than they proceeded to carry it our.. The gruesome work began at 4 o'clock, and for two mortal hours. they rained, Elows with blunt bamboos on the limbs and back of the wretched prisoner until the flesh was hanging in shreds and tatters, and still the man would not die. In his agony he implored them in mercy to put an end to it by strangulation, and finally something of the kind had to be resorted to. The shades of evening were falling before the mangled body had ceased to quiver,

Such is the latest phase of Chinese civilisa tion as exemplified by the amiable and well- meaning lady who now ruler the destinies of the Empire. It is beyond all doubt that the Decree came straight from her hand, for it is such a monstrous perversion of even Chinese justice, that only she whase word is law would have dared to do it. There is no such punish.

ment prescribed in the Codes, even for high treason. It is only for the eunuchs and slaves

of the Palice-unfortunates who have no rights that the punishment of beating to death is reserved.

The pity of it is there should be found instruments willing to carry out such brutal ordera, If the warden of the prison had replied that he was there to carry out the Jaw, not to commit judicial murder, though it might have cost bim his head, there would have been a ray of hope for China. It might have marked a new era, the dawn of a fight fox civil freedom,
