SHANGHAI STRIKE.

CUSTOMS GREATLY AFFECTED HEAVY FALL IN REVENUE. Electric Telegraph—Press Association PEKIN, July 8. Owing to the Shanghai strike, and the disturbed condition of the country generally, the Customs revenue for the six months ending June 30th, has declined by one and a-half million taels. Shanghai reports state that the situation there continues hopeful. Things are quiet, with the exception of further kidnapping of tramway and other employees, such of foreign residents employed as home servants. There have been numerous cases of confiscation by strikers of milk, vegetables, and other, foods, supposed to be for foreign consumption. These goods were being distributed to strikers and students. Coolies confiscated one hundred cows at the railway statical and took them to their union headquarters in Chinese territory. The tram service is somewhat curtailed in Pekin. A PEKIN CARTOON. LONDON, July 9. The Daily Telegraph publishes a facsimile of a poster display in Pekin, depicting John Bull with his foot planted on a Chinese baby. FENG APPEALS TO CHRISTIANS. PEKIN, July 8. General Feng, who is a professed Christian, quoting the anti-British versions of the Shanghai, Hankow, and Canton shooting incidents, urges Christians all over the world to demand justice for China. He concludes: “If Christians sit still in silence, then the Chinese will think they sympathise with' the cruel English policy.”
