As: Lord Salisbury was absent, the' visit was without special result. Sir Halliday i`Tacartney, British Secretary of the C11inese legation, ad- mitted that communication had been practically reopened with "Pekin, and that messages from Sir Claude Mac- Donald, the British 11iii1ister, and. other foregn envoys might 'be ex- pected almost immediately. IIe said he hoped the trouble would soon be over since the Chinese Government Was doing. its utmost to overcome the difficulties and control the law- less element. Irl his opinion the Americans had taken the most Commonsense view of the situation, and he insisted that China ought not to be misjudged,: Against the suspicion that Li Etung Changa had any but a sincere Pathic object in view, he protested warmly, declaring that all stories. about the Perfidy and treachery of Earl Li Were "absolutely baseless," With regard to 1 he prospects in the Southern Provinces, the Secretary ad: milted that thele alight be small out breaks, but he said there wouldbe nothing serious, and that Europeans \would be quite safe in tretlt3 ports, The: long silence, he explained as "due probably i o the rebels, who have cut the wires and blocked the roads." Thus, according to the Secretary of the Chinese legatiion, a few days. more should bring a solution of the great mystery. Nevertheless, no one in Lngland belie ."es that the alleged despatches and edicts are anything but subterfuges to hide the real situ, i possible and to 1 e to a n as ong as posy avert the retribution by sowing dis- cord among the powers. - cJ C (1) 4- 4- (n ) CO 0) 01 0 0 N (0 0 N E C 6) 7 O 0 a) s F (n (0 O a J 0 Z r C) v) 4) C CIPHER MESSAGE 1X1081 CONGER. 0 ers at k'ettirl were safe ,and sOund on July 19.ren important -decree, dated July 10, oedol•s, the Viceroy of Tien 1sin. to appraise tile, damage caused by the troubles, and orders th4 local militia to repress the rebellion," ' C(n is c LL .J N N T +' 1 0cn(75 Li 0 O C 0 FOREIGNERS ALL SAFE, Is the Announcement: Made by the Chin- ese`Legation in London Regard- ing the Foreigners. - .London July 223. -The Chinese le- gation makes the following announce- ment on Saturday: "A telegram confirming the safety of the foreign minister and other Eu- ropeans ropeans at Pekin was received at 2.30 o'clockthis afternoon, from the Viceroy of Nankin, as follows: " 'In an Imperial edict issued 22nd sixth moon (July, 18) to arrestand punish the criminals who murdered the German Minister, it was mention- ed fortunately that the protection afforded by us to the other Ministers had been effective, and that they were all safe on July 21.

Ottawa, July 23. -Prorogation of the fifth session of: - the eighth Parliament took place at Ottawa on Wednesday of last week, and was in the usualform of that ceremony. The Governor-General ar- rived shortly after 3 o'clock, accom- panied by a body guard ,'of the Prin- cess Louise Dragoons. The • Com- mons -vas summoned and entered the Senate Chamber, led by Speaker 'Bain in his robes of office. The bills were assented to and the speech from the throne read by Lord Minto, after- which fterwhich the session was declared at an end. The speech from the throne was as follows: Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate. Gen- tlemen of the House of Commons: In relieving you from further at- tendance in Parliament, I desire to thank you for the diligent attention which you have given to the labors of an exceptionally protracted ses- sion. When Parliament opened in the month of February last the thoughts of the whole Empire were centred on. the war which was then raging in South Africa. The marked successes. which have since attended the Brit- ish arms, and in which our Canadian volunteers soldiers have taken a conspicuous and glorious part,, justi- fy the hope that peace` will soon be restored in ,that distant land. The large number of private bills, with industrial objects, considered and passed is a good indication of the great expansion of the business of the country. I desire to congratulate you on the buoyant state of the revenue. The large receipts have enabled my Gov ernenlnt to provide liberally for the public service and to maintain financial Can- ada's strong Positi n. rk r A ma ed feature of the session has been the adoption of usany important measures -hien nmst beneficially affect the future of the Dominion. The improvements in the anti relating to the banks will tend to perfect a system of, banking of which Canada. has reason to feel proud. The :exten- sion of the British preferencein our tariff -will tend to reduce the burden of taxation anti stimulate the growth of every trade with the mother coun- try, The measure you have passed re- specting the admission of Canadian inscribed stock of the .list of securi- ties in which trustees in Great Brit- ain may invest, is being followed by' siniiiar legislal,tion in the Imperial Parliament, -which -will; in due course, consummate this very import ant improvement in the .financial af- fairs of the Dominion. There is reason to believe that the legislation of this session will have important and favorable results. I particularly congratulate you upon the passing of the Conciliation Act; which. it is confidently hoped, will not 0111Y improve the condition of the industrial classes, but will also bet- ter promote the relations which oughtto exist between capital abd ought to exist between capital anti labor.
