Twenty thousand Chinese Mohammedans are gradually returning to Pekin. The Allies have adopted precautions against disturbance. The residents of Shanghai urge King Edward to refuse to receive a commission from China, congratulating him on his accession, until the massacres of Christians and other outrages have been expiated. A detachment of Germans is investigating the recent massacres of converts near Yenhing. The Pekin correspondent of the " Times " reports that Russia offers to purchase the northern Chinese railways north of • the Great Wall, as part payment of the indemnity. The offer has been made despite the written pledge of the Tsung li Yamen to Sir Claude Macdonald that China would not alienate the Shanhai-kwan, Niu-chwang and Suimin-ting railways.
