According to the best information to be obtained, the only officer of the association who now receives pay is an attorney, who seems to have a mortgage on these two counties. .

We hereby order, therefore, the complete suppression and cessation of all newspapers that have -hitherto appeared in the empire. All publishers and editors will be arrested and punished with the utmost severity of the law.’’ The decree affected 56 Chinese newspapers.
