A great deal of tbe news appearing In American newspaper* from Pekin. Shanghai and other Chinese renters comes by way of the London i*a pers. We have some yellow Journal cor respondents in thi* country, but their Im aginations are not quite equal to thoe of the correspondent* in China of the Lon don dallies. It will be recalled that for weeks prior to the arrival of the allied armies ut Pe kin the most horrible stories were sent out from that city. It was published time and again that all of the occupants of the legations had leen klll-d and that before bong killed the men were tortur ed and the women subjected to the most horrible outrage*. Everybody know* now that these stories were based upon mere idle rumors. If they were not pure fake* At the tlm*. however, it was asserted by the correspondent* sending them that they were supported by excellent author ity. Within the lust day or two ther* have appeared stories of massacres of mission aries In some of the Inland provinces. These stories may be true, hut ns they were sent to the English papers by the same *©rrrpnndent# who horrified the work! with their stories of the massacre of the ministers and their families. It would he well for them to be confirmed before incepting them os true. The newspapers * r e not to In* blamed for publishing these stories before being sure they arc true. lie. iuse they have no way of getting at the truth. They have :o rely on their correspondents, and Ittsprob nble that they nhsvor to get the m**-t reliable men to be had. No doubt tho-e correspondents who are unscrupulous de l*md for protection on the fact that com munication 'ls so slow that their false news Is likely to be forgotten before the truth can de discovered. There Is no doubt thal the Chinese, whet) their hatred Is aroused, are capable of committing nil sorts of atrocious crimes, but It may turn out that their war on the foreigners In their country has noi t>e*n so bru:al as the newspaper reports | nave made it appear.
