Shanghai, Sept. It.-Li Hung Chang
is now circulating proclamations in the
province of Fi Chi Li, warning boxers
and all other persons disposed to make
trouble to disperse at once, return to
their homes and resume thoir peaceful
occupations. One part say-: “You
know me, and remember my twenty-four
years’ service among you.” Li threat
ens that unless his orders arc obeyed
immediately he will go to PI Chi LI
and punish the recalcitrants.

kin August 14 Prince Tuan was at
Tung Chow when the allies reached
there. He fled immediately to Pekin
and reported tbe fact that tbe allfes were

leave Pekin, but tbe imperial party re
mained in no palace until the allies
were actually entering Pekin. Then
they left via the western gate while the

“The imperial troops,” he said, “mined
