riJNIfcJHMENT OF MURDERERS.
The edict ordering the punishment of tlie officials concerned in the recent murder of the English missionaries, Messrs Bruce and Lewis, has profoundly impressed officialdom. It is interpreted as a decided victory for Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister* THE YANGTSE VALLEY.
Viscount Cranborne, Parliamentary Secretary (0 the Foreign Office, announced in the House of Commons that the general position of Great Britain regarding the Yangtse Valley is unchanged. IMPORTATION OF ARMS. Mr Morrison “ The Times” correspondent in Pekin, states that the promotion of a fourth-grade official to the rank of Mandarin of the first grade has been gazetted. His advancement is due to official smuggling, in defiance of the protocol with the Powers, of Mansers and cartridges into the province of Kwangsi, and placing them at the disposal of the Governor against the rebels.
China thus repudiates the prohibition on the import of arms and material used in their manufacture.
The majority of the arsenals in the Empire arc manufacturing at high pressure.
