The bridge impedes river traffic, and the tug touched it. The ministers -and generals have agreed upon the Pcihp River Improv ment Commission, which is to be cor 1 of «

week for Jhe the summer, taking with military guards for their protection, their intention being to come to Pekin for the purpose of holding meetings and attending to necessary business. Missionary Owen, of the London Mission, says all the reports received by his mission from the provinces show the country to be in a deplorable state. Discontent and intense hatred of foreigners prevail, and worse conditions than existed before the siege are threatened. The departure of the troops, he predicts, will be signalled by a massacre of the native Christians. ‘Those unable to recognize the facts, and reporting otherwise to their governments. says Mr. Owed, "are as wilfully blind as before.”
