CHINESE REFORTE 1':()/VE LIST HEAVILY —$ et Russians and Japanese Kull one Thousand Celestials. (Spxciat to Tue Examine3.] Loxpoyx, July 9, 2.45 a. m.—The for- eign consuls met July 8th and officially ans | nounced that the Legations at Pekin were safe on July 4.” The foregoing statement,read with Con- eul Warren’s despatch to the Foreign Office on Saturday, makes it possible tc believe that the legations will hold out for a number of days yet. Having fougbt toa standstill the first outburst of fanatical fury, it is believable that something may intervene tu save them. This news, after the sinister rumours of the last ten days, is enough upon which to | build up hope. The Shangbai correspondent of the Ex- | press, telegraphing on Sunday at 5.10p. i m., throws doubt upon Consul Warren’s information. He saysy: “ Tao Tai Sheng ‘now admits that there was anerror his ‘commnnication to General Warren. The date of courier’s its arrival at Chinen Fu was July 3, which does not apply to his | departure from Pekin. ° The journey from Pekin to Chinen Fu | cccupies five days. | aThe courier therefore could not hav, have left Pekin later than June 28. The date of the massacre there, as given by thejChinese reports, was June 30th and July ist. Loxpox, July 9.—The correspondents at Shanghai, who are still the clearing house for the Chinese news, says that a com biued force of Russians and Japanese have left Tien Tsin, foliowing the railway as far as Lang Fau, and have thence swept swiftly to the west, attacking the Chinese 18 miles north of Tien Tsin aod killing 1,000 of them, The Shanghai correspondent of the Standard says: “Reports from Tien Tesin from Chinese sources say that a great battle has taken place in which the Chinese lost heavily. The allies at Tien Tsin are short of pro- visions and suffer considerably from sniping. Artillery Practice The 4th Regt. C. A. held their big guu competition this year at Tea Hi!] on Sat- urday last. Four companies competed and did excellent work. The battery from which the guns were fired was at the summit of Tea Hilland the targets were placed about 300 yards from the beach off Squaw Point, snd about 3,000 yards from the battery. Lieut..~Col, Moore, D, O. C., acted as umpire,and Lieut. Mae- dougall was range officer. The target represented 45 men in line kneeling and the way in which the enemy was knocked out by the different companies was a very pleasing sight. The Movtague Company which made such an excellent anpearance in camp, itis eaid,did the best shooting. The 4th Regiment never appeared in bet- ter form than this year, and we congratu~ late Col. Longworth and his gallant officers on the fioe showing the regiment made. RoYAL Baking Powder Made ftom pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum.

The Woollen Mills at Spring Park fore nooa fire was discovered near the engine house. It is thougit to have started in the waste houss nearthe boiler. The mills were entirely of wood, andin a very short while the structures were a roarting furnace. The firemen quickly arrived, but the buildings were beyond hope of re- covery. Several streams of water were played on the flames and the burning woodwork. Now nothing is to be seen save the chimney and tbe charred re- mains of the mille. Nothing wassaved. The cloth and the machinery are a total loss. About forty persons were employed in the mills. There is no insurance.
