The Ittamfr City of Peking brings '.etai.s ef tbe destruction of the American Presbyterian church at. Sitek Lung, near (Jautou, tuts mention ol which Was contained lu the last Oriental mao. It seems tnat anti-mission not began in the town 01 Tung Kim iu July an J placards tro posted up containing Tile charges against Christians. The mob appeared iu Snek Lung on Juiy W and pulled down the cliurcii. Luckily all the missionaries escape, but a Chinese convert named fgaii Lay Shaug, who was overtaken, was bea ten to death and bis body thrown luto the river. Several Christian families in the vicinity were subjected to ltidiguiiii 3 and robbed, bourn soldier tlien ap peared on the seeue and effected the wrest of two rioters. The next point of attack was the Kouiau Catholic church. Those inside the church met tbe mob and held them at bay for some time. At this juncture a squad of soldiers came and dispeised the mob, thus saving the building from sharing the same fate as the American church. On June 21 the church at Sam Kong, a Tillage of Tsang Shing, was sacked and a girl aged VJ, belonging to a native preacher's family, was tarried away. Fortunately, iu the unud.e of the night the Christian brelheru were able secretly to open the ooor ol the house where the girl had been taken, and securing the girl, had her conveyed safely to Can ion. Simultaneously with this disturiiauce I an anti missonary demonstration took place st Tiou l'ou. Under coer of darkness a native preacher with his family bad ts seek safety in tltgnt. The church, however, was left unmolested, as it was owned by a man of the power ful Wan family, who effectively prt tected the building. In Tung Kutig city the vrest and uiostexcniiig rumors are current, and had it not been for the proximity of the church to the tuanuar in pamen and for the daily prniecliou of Its premises by a squad of soldiers who had been applied tor by the missionaries at an early state of the riots it would in all probability have to be added to the ust of demolish, u churches iu this disturbed district. A complaint against the lung Kuu magistrate has been tiled with the American consul in ('anion and ao Investigation will be mane. A I nor -Martial Oiilertd. Lkave.n woxii, Kan., Aug IS.

Foot of Council Biuffs, the brakeman, was the only one of the crew who escaped. His story and that of the others wlio survived indicates that tie wreck was due to the work of train wreckers, and Walter Seidell, who lives near the crotssing and was the first one on the scene, states that a fishplate and the bar with which it has been wrenched loose were found near the trestle after the wreck occurred.

The treaty also guarantees to Chines- residents of th United stales aJI the protection afforded to cl'i.ens of the most favored nations, e..cept the rignl to beco.ne naturalised citizens. '1 he Chinese government waives all objection to the requirement of the United Mates laws that Chinese re sidents must tie registered, and recipro cally this government consents that China shall make ttie same requirement of Americans residing in China.

I I'he correspondent says the incident is enlirely comprehensible to those con versant with Chinese customs. In British naval circles t tie Japanese attacks upon '.Vei-llai-A'ei and Port Arthur are regarded as daring to rash ness ami the pluck of the Japanese is piaised unstintedly. The attacks are compared to a supptisilive liritish at tack upon Toulon. vVei-Hai-Wei and Port Arthur have exceedingly strong defenses. Moreover, according to the testimony of Captain Kand aud others conversant with tne facls, tho Chinese are expert torpedo sis and gunners. It is assumed that tlio Japanese attack is part of a scheme to ke-p the Chinese fleet in the Gull of IV-Chi-Li while Jayanese troops pour into Corea. A dispatch from Shangnai says: "It is reported that twenty-six ships were engaged in the attach on Wei-Hai-Wei. Whether or not all were warships is not known. The forts and vessels ex changed about liny snots. The forts tired badly aud the, shells tell short or wide. The attacks, it is thought, were a ruse to draw fire in order to ascertain the strength and notition of the Chinese guns. No damage is reported to have been done al either -Vei-ilai- Wei or Port Arthur.

Hut the t mHii?nt defeat of i lima is almost im possible, and the result, unlets the powers mtt-rpose, will projab.y be the extinction of Japanese autonomy and jeaious exclusion of loreign devils from Japan as well as Irom China. It mutual jealousy prevents the Furoean powers from acting there remains the alternative of possible action by the Unitel States. That may be contrary to one respect of the Monroe doctrine and opKsed to American ideas, but the situations is exceptional enough to j'istify a departure from precedent and usage.
