A hdespatch from Berlin says :-'1`he news `Of the slaughter of the foreign- ers in Pekin has createdyan impres- sion of indescribable horror here; and there is a universal cry for venge- ance. It is held in official circles that the powers must prepare to thorough- ly exact full reparation.

Government, or Chinese people, has forced war upon us, and it was shown in the Pekin massacre `what form this war must take. 'All Western civilization must now `arm for vengeance. The Chinese must be `treated as cannibals, and Pekin raz- ed to the ground, Then the Chinese must be compelled to rebuild it as a free city, according to. the precepts -of -Western civilization. Now is the "time when the vitality of two civilizations lmust be put to the final `test, and the nations of the West must emerge vic- torious, be the sacrifice what it may.

When he returned at night :1 dreadful` spectacle was presented to him. The mother was lying dead with her head hor- ribly bruised, apparently by a ham- mer, and the father was lying with his head almost shot off, by means of a shot gun in his own hands. Deathi must have come almost instantly to him. There were signs of a struggle be- tween the old man and woman, as her throat showed finger prints, he evi- dently trying to strangle her first, then completing his work by means; of a hammer, as her head was badly 1 battered. The hammer was found: hidden under the house, where the old man had put it after doing his ter- rible work. Then he completed his own destruction as already described. AN INQUEST HELD. Dr. Kerr, coroner, accompanied by; Mr. C. W. Covulter, crown attorney of Ealdimand, went to the scene of the. tragedy and; held an inquest, but no-f new developments were brought out. Suicidal` tendencies are in the fam- ily,. as one. of his brothers killed him- self several years ago. They are well- to-do farmers,` and have a family :_'g{o}v.11* up.
