The latter magistrate bas, however, an jurisdiction over Tartar soldiers, so he applied to the Tartar Lieutenant-General, Tu-tung, who hed the offenders' names struck off the pay-roll, and then liberated them to be dealt with by the magistrate administering civil for special authority from the Viceroy at Nang- law.

Sunday was the day appointed by the riotous soldiers for the destruction of the foreign settlement, and there the effect that the foreign Concession was in was a rumeur afloat last night on the Bund to
flames, and the foreigners driven from their homes with considerable slaughter. So far this rumour has not been confirmed, and I hope it never will be. One of the culprits is said to be a local chief of the Ko-lae Huri secret society, and the local officials are dreadfully scared lest an outbreak of some magnitude should follow this outburst of Tartarindignation. Hitherto Tartars have bres supposed above the least suspicion of being conpected with secret societies in any way, as the societies are forbidden by law and suppressed at times with awful severity.
