Hecent outbreaks of mutual antipathy between the people and Christian missions caused tho foreign powers to view with suspicion the position of the imporial government as favorable to the people and prejudicial to the missions, with tho result that tho Takn forts were attacked end raptured.

To place the imperial authorities of China in communication with the relief expedition so that co-operation may , be .secured between them for tho libera- i i tion of tho legationers, tho protection of , ' foreigners and tho restoration of ordor.
