But enough of this last and latila attempt of the Chinese Government and of their apologist to appear in open court with clean hands as on -injured and oppressed party.

Nothing, says the United Service Gazette, has yet been settled in regard to the reduction of atlery in Iedia which is being urged by the Viceroy's Comaril on the Haine Goracament, The proposal from Simla in to disporno with four horses one field, and Rix garrison batterion; "hut" the military mathorities al hows are very machi opposed to the reduction, which, aerorthelem, will probably be carried out.
