At Washington President McKinley appointed W W Rockhill a special commissioner to go to China and report upon the responsibility of the Chinese Government. Rockhill lived in China for years. On Friday Wn Ting Fang received a cablegram from Shanghai, enclosing a cipher answer for Secy Hay from Minister Conger and saying In British legation, under continued shot and shell fire from Chinese troops. relief only can prevent general mas sacre. " Sec y Hay believed the message to be genuine and sent word to Remey to "Use and urge every possible en deavor for relief The answer was not dated, and in London it was believed to be a fake, or an old and untransmitted message from Conger. Tien Tsin was reported to be burning. From St Petersburg came a report of a victory for the Russians over the Chinese at a town along the Amur river, and the killing of 2,000 Chinese. On Saturday Minister Wn Ting at Washington furnished the State Dep t. with several telegrams from China say ing the foreign Ministers were safe, and nnder the care of the Imperial Govern ment excepting the German up to the 20th, or Friday. From Russian sources earn': word that Chinese regular troops aided by irreg ulars, in all about 120,000, are in open war against Russia. They not only de manded the withdrawal of the Russians from Chinese territory, but after the Russian refusal to withdraw the Chinese assumed the offensive and drove off the Russians from railroad construction and are undertaking hostile operations against Harbin, Blagovestchensk and others towns, shelling the last named place. What makes the Chinese hostilities extremely dangerous, however, is the fact that the Chinese, by a series of re cently constructed forts and redoubts, absolutely command the navigation of the Amur river for a distance of ~0 versts, thus preventing Russian troop transports on the only route open at jeast until those fortifications shall have been taken by the Russians. Though the Russian censorship is again most severe regarding the tele grams, news reached Berlin. Saturday from St. Petersburg that Blagovest chensk had been taken by the Chinese, who seized large amounts of money in the Rosso-Chinese bank there. All reports agree that the Russian government now considers that Russia is actual!;-- at war with China, that, the shilly shaliy policy hitherto maintained will fx; dropped; that Russia is now hurriedly preparing for a serious cam paign in North China, separate from the other powers and that Russia will not be able nor willing under these altered circumstances to i»ear an adequate share in the Tien Tsin Pekin campaign The Russian forces available along the border and throughout North China are stated to comprise 2# battalions of the line, 27 battalions of reserves, 17 Cossack regiments and 17 field lotteries, altogether abont 7>*,000 men. Regarding the efforts of the Chinese to make alliance with the Japanese, the following letters were published Kmperor of China to lOnipcror of Japan. "The emperor of China deplores the assassination of Mugiyama A kirn, the chancellor of the Japanese legat ion at Pekin. The powers, suspecting the court of I'ekin of hating the Christians, owing to the people having slaughtered the Christians, have occupied the Tiku forts The outlook is more ari'l more distnrbed, We, O great emperor, are of the opinion that if the j>owers should attempt to rive China, Japan would then hold the balance of |>ower in the far east, between this country and those jiowers that are looking for a chance to obtain new possessions not only in China but also in the East "Should China fail successfully to re sist the invaders even Japan's imlejs n ile,nee may be threatened Japan stand ing on the wiine footing as China, should cast aside all differences ami try to pre serve the national existence of China, now occupied in impressing the rioters, and enter into an alliance with the country whose destiny is on the same line as its own.

On the 4th instant only -ton foreigners. much exhausted, were left alive in Pekin and ne night, when the hag guns were incessantly fired, it was known that all the legations and the foreigners were finished, although pre tended telegrams contradict these facta. Sir William Halliday Macartney, secretary of the Chinese, asserted that the Pekin legations are safe and are about to proceed to Tien Tsin. A dis patch from Paris says that Delcasse. French Minister of foreign affairs, ha= received a telegram from the French consul at Che Foo. dated July '2l eay ing: The governor informs me that according to reliable news from Pekin. all the foreign ministers are safe and the government is taking all neceaeary steps to deliver and protect them. The Chinese minister. Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh. has communicated to the press the following dispatch from Sheng. director general of Chinese railways and telegraphs and Taotai of Shanghai dated Shanghai. July 23: "Information from Pekin dated July I*, says that the Tsung Li Vainen de puted Won Jui.an under secretary of the department to see the foreign ministers and he found everyone well without any missing, the German minister expected Gen. \ ung Lu is going to memorialize the throne to send them all under escort to Tien Tsin in the hope that the militarv operations will then be stopped." On Tuesday our State Dept. made public an appeal from the Chinese government, in the name of the Etnjieror, to President McKinley asking him to take the initiative in bringing about a settlement of the trouble, to which McKinly sent an answer based upon the' apposed survival of the foreign ministers and of violence to them ljeing only the work of the Boxers unsupport ed by their government. Minister Wu received a telegram say ing that the foreign ministers would be sent to Tien Tsin under escort. General Li commanding the Pei-Taug forts, near Taku, reports to the British officers commanding at Tong-Ku that a runner who left Pekin on .Tilly 14, re ports that Pekin was in a state of abeolute anarchy, that the regulars were fighting the Boxers,that the latter were getting the Ijetter of the struggle; that the Maxim ammunition of the legation guards was exhausted and that they were nsin* their rifles sparingly. Also that the guards recently rushed the walls and silenced the Chinese gun and that a few Chinese Princes were desirous of protecting the foreigners, but were in a minority General Li is anxious to avoid fighting the allies Sir Claude Mac Donald s message dated July 4, appealing for relief, is r garded in London as only a prelude to the absolute confirmation of the ma sacre. This is the opinion also of the Japenese Minister there. The news papers suggest that the British Minister s dispatch was held back and released about the same as Mr. Conger s undated message. Although the American and British forces are working harmoniously, the ijueation of communication between Taku and Pekin gives evidence of jealousies between the Powers and other dispatches from Tien-Tsin show that the language difficulty has been hampering the military operations. CHINA AND THE CHINESE. (From the Scientific American.) The area of ("hina is 4,218,401 English square miles. Of this territory only miles belongs to China proper, the remainder being the dependencies of Manchuria Mongolia, Thibet, Jungaria and Kast Turkestan. Notwithstanding the relatively small size of Chinaproper, it contains the bulk of the population, having 1)1*6,000,000 inhabitants out of a total jiopnlation of the kingdom of 4 fiio, 000 The present Emperor of < 'hina belongs to the Manchu dynasty, which overthrew the native dynasty of \lin>{ in the year 1 *>44. As the late Emjs-ror died suddenly, he did not designate a successor, as is the custom in China, where there exist* no law of hereditary succession. This is one of the cau.v iof the trouble in China, owing to the fact that the Empress Dowager was able to obtain ascendancy over the young Emperor, so that on September 22, IH!W, an imperial edict was issued announcing that the Emperor had resigned power to Hit) Empress Dowager, who had sir-' e retained the direction of affairs and by her dislike of foreigners has done much to foment the troubles and has made it easy for the Boxer movement to gain headway, even if she is riot directly res ponsible for their attack, as has been suggested by those who have an jnti mate knowledge of Chinese affairs On January 24, 11*00, it was declared by decree that the son of Prince Tuan should succeed the present Emperor This is generally regarded as equivalent toKwang Sn s deposition The lively interest which Prince Tuan is taking in the attacks on foreigners is easily ac Counted for by his son's right to the throne.

The army of China comprises "the Eight Banners." nominally containing about :ioo,ooo men. The national army whose nominal strength is abont 550, <•00, has about 200.000 available for war. Besides these forces there are mercenary troodsready in emergencies and Mon golians anil other irregular cavalry. Th- latter are nominally SO MJOO strong, but like everything else in China they largely exist on paper. The}* number really but 20,000 and are of no military value. The total land army on a p«*ace footing is put at 300,000 men. and on a war footing of about 1.000,000. but the armv. as a whole, has no nnity of co bension. There is no proper decipline, the drill is merely physical exercise and many of the weapons are long since obsolete but since April, 1*95, British firms have shipped to China 71 guns of position. 123 fi<-ld guns and '.297 machine „'iins and a German tirm has supplied China with 460.000 Mauser rifles and 3,- "00,000 rounds of ammunition in the same period. From this it will be seen that the Chinese are not as backward as regards war material, as has been sup posed. Supplies of ammunition for the guns have been adequate. The Chinese navy during the war with Japan disap pointed those who regarded it as an effective fighting force. Some modern vessels have sine© been added to the fleet. Peking is at once interesting, despic able. superlatively beautiful.disgusting- Ivfilthy, and, in short, a city of contra dictions. Originally a Tartar encamp ment. lie gun by the cordes that swarmed to the eastern part of China. Peking soon lieeame a fortified city of much strength. Here the Tartar rulers lived, -surrounded by their Manchu followers fearing the white man's usurpation far less than the numerical preponderance A the Chinese. So, in order to protect themselves from unexpected assault, they constructed a huge wall around their city—for China is a land of walls—and for a time lived in toler able security. Gradually, however, the Chinese, realizing to some extent their power, be gan a rival city adjoining the Tartar fortress. They, too, built a wall, and as the Tartar- did, whenever a workman died, his body was entomls-d within the wall. In this manner, it is estimated, that one million human beings found their last resting places in the wall surrounding Peking. While the Chines-- city is of some interest, both from n sociological and architectural viewpoint, yet the Tartar city is the more important, for within its precincts is the "Forbidden," or Purple City, where lives Kwang Sn, the unfortunately progressive monarch of the Chinese. The Forbidden City is n city of night, for there the denizens of the palace of the Son of Heaven awaken and begin their life Little is known of the Forbidden City, for within the memory of man not half a dozen whites have entered it. All that is known is that it contains the palaces of the Emperor, and. what is perhaps more interesting, the famous coal hill. This immense heap of coal was accumulated for tie* in case the city was Lesioged. Ih>- hill is sr-vernl hundred feet high and contains bun dredsof thousands of tons of coal Whenever the Emperor was about to 1 rive the Forbidden City, for some religious or State function, the legations of the foreign nations have been notified, so that no unholy eye might rest upon the puny form and sallow face of Kwang Su. The entire route to be traversed was curtained off and thou sands of soldiers line the so-called streets, so that no Peeping-Tom could ply his trade. But despite all such pre cautions, the well-known Oriental propensity for money, exceptionally strong in the< hine. •, enabled foreigners to see Kwang Sa at close range. They beheld a shrinking, slight figure, dressed plainly and utterly eclipsed by the gorgeous apparel of his retinue Th'- rest of Peking is very much like allCh ; neis cities picturesquely corifn« ing and terrible dirty. Streets run in bizarre fashion, totally oblivions of their beginning and end, aimlessly wandering from bad to worse, fringed on l*>tb sides by hovels and palaces in confusion. Dogs and pigs meander al/out, jostle equally offensive beggars and unkempt children; stuffy litters uspended on long bamboo poles and carried by coolies, make life a burden odors, concentrated l»eyoiid the power of descriptive writiug to portray, over whelm tin- nostrils, the effluvia of hk> • of non-sanitation, drawn heavenward by the torrid sun, spreads disease; the chatter of a thousand gutteral Mongols, and Chinese is intermingled with the yelping of the dogs, the squealing of th< l»ix w . the screaming of the children, and the load cries of th'' coolies such i Peking. Of course, there are parts in the out lying hills wher»- the rich mandarins and merchants live, where true Oriental luxury can Is- found There; magnifi cent palace-like dwellings dot th" land scape, surrounded by idyllic gardens. The art and imagination of the Chinese architect have found full scope for h'S talent, and as a result, these habitation nr»! ft credit, externally and internally all save the sanitation, of which the Chinese are in blissful ignorance Yet t,h< wealthy have luxury, even though a coolie taken the place of an electric fan to cool his fevered brow.

To revert to the original atandard of the dutiea in gold would,therefore, make a very Hubatan rial addition to the productiveness of the Chinese customs and opium tax. and a general readjustment of the whole system of export duties could, without detriment to trade, be made to yield double the present iucome. This ad ministration of the maritime customs is the one honest department of the revenue system of China. It brings in over a fourth of the whole amount paid into the Imperial Exchequer from all sources of taxation. But the peculation In the other departments of the revenue service is gross and palpable to an extent almost exceeding belief Rang Yn-Wei told the emperor that in his native district the total amount of revenue collected was £230,000.000 a year, of which only $20,000,000 found its way into the Imperial Treasury. A British consul who. some years ago, made a study of the incident of the land tax in the Province of An Hwei, r*i*>rted the following state of facts The province contains an area of 34,547,200 acres, and is described as one of the rich, level, rice provinces. Land tax i* paid on good soil at the rate of *2.50 to 3.00 j*-- year per acre, and on poorer land at the rate of #1.50 a year. In China every acre, almost every yard, in the rich provinces capable of culture is eagerly songht for. But in his report to the Imperial Govern ment the Governor of An Hwei officially stated that onlv 5,000,000 acres, or a little more than l-7th of the rich and fertile province under his control, was under cultivation, and in 1*93 he report ed the «ross yield of the land tax to be f1,140,000 aiid the net yields9lo,ooo. Even supposing that the Governor had correctly stated the number of acres, the amount of the gross revenue account ed for per acre won id have been about 25 cents, though it is certain that the amount actually collected must have averaged $2.7~> per acre in the rich, level, rice plains. The margin for peculation, even on the area reported by the Gover nor. was manifestly enormous, to ray nothing of the unaccounted for majority of the area on which land tax was un questionably collected. The unchecked dishon sty of the pro vincial Governors, who, it should be added, have to pay all the expenses of local government out of the money thev collect, has its counterpart in the bound less corruption of the Palace. The favorite eunuch of the Empress died two months ago, leaving an estate valued at 3H,000,000 taels, one-third of which was hard '-ash. and the rest in landed estates spread over the three provinces of Chihli, Snansi and Honan. This hnge fortune was accumulated in comparatively few years through bribes and "presents princes from of the Imperial House, desirous of place and power, down to the official of the seventh rank or Dis trict Magistrate who wanted his name recorded in the Grand Council Books for "immediate substantive preferment. There was nothing too sma' 1 or insignifi cant for this imperial favorite to pick up and not a few single bribes of from 240,- 000 to 660,000 tael-! were known to have come into his coffers The mans annual income from such sources is said to have been something Incredible, for once ;iuy person was "honored'' by lieing idlowed to send hi in a gift. it be came thi* dutv of such a one to repeat the coutributation at the end of each year in order not to l»e "forgotten. The Empress Dowager is accused t>v Kf>ng Yu-Wel of diverting a largo partof the W.OOO.OOOtaelsaet aside for ■i Chinese uavy to the decoration of the fih'i Park gardena.auda still larger pro portion of tin- W.000.0U0 tacls raised for railroad construction. to a similar par pose. To say that the fiscal system of China is absolutely incompatible with any theory of capable or economical government is to put the case very inilrlly. That it only needs to be administered as a whole, as well as the part of it devoted to the collection of maritime customs, to be equal to all l«OHsible demands that may be made on the Empire, will hardly be disputed, i >f eonrse, powerful influence hoth from within and from without will be found working for tie perpetuation of the pre* ent corrupt spstem, and it will require the moot vigorous and resolute action on the part of the i«owers interested in maintaining the integrity of the< liine.se Empire to effect, the vitally reform of the finances That being done the rest, however, will be easy, and it will be found that the chief source of the recurrent outbreaks of anarchy in China has been the rank dishonesty and corruption of its rulers.
