I proved however, the majority of these, whether indicated in Tatao /w/ offences or not, had no hand in the murder of Mr. Brooks, The trial was conducted by the Provincial Judge in a large hall of the fojang chi, where important cases are taken. Mr. Campbell took with him as secretaries Mr. Mathews (Mr. Brooks's colleague), and Mr. Couling (English Baptist Mission, Shantung).
Three tables were arrangeil as three sides of a regular hexagon; the Judge sat at the centre table, with Mr. Campbell on the left in the seat of honour; at the judge's side table sat three expectant prefects; at the table on Mr. Camp bell's side sai Mr. Mathews, Mr. Couling, and the Governor's interpreter, who, of course, was

Mr Campbell put most of his questions through the Judge, but sometimes when it was desirous to get a quick reply without allowing time for considerarion he addressed the prison er or witness direct.
The men more or less closely connected with the murder were these seven -
Alenh Kwang-w
Wu Fang-ch'eng,
Wu Ching-ming,
Fang Yerinu, Ei Tung-kuan,
Hi Ta-cheng (Inn-keeper at Ifsiachingtze), Liu Hsiu-yi (constable at Changchistien). The first five were a gang of Tatao Hui members; they had with them two mure men, whose names were given as Wang and Chang, about whom very little could be ascertained, ant! there is little hope of their being arrested. This is of less importance, béwever, because though they were in the gang for part of the time they were not present at the murder, and were not parties to it.
a rough mountain road somewhat uphill. They had gone but a little way when Mr. Brooks, who from his school-days bad been a first-rate runner, moved by one cannot tell what impulse, broke from them and ran. This perhaps gave the messary fillip to their courage; they shouted and pursued. Li Tung-kuan, on horseback, caught up first then Mr. Brooks shipped in the know and fell: Wa Fang-ch'êng was close behind, and slashed thrice with his sword, giving wounds behind the car and on the neck. As Mr. Brooks. was still struggling to recover his feet Meng arrived, and shouting He must be killed,' (fel sha pu ksing) struck twice, and cut off his head.
The body and head were carried in the gathering dusk, by eng and the two men Wa, tu a ravine soule sixty yards from the road, and thrown there. Li Tung-kuan did not dismount from his horse. The other three' then went back to the inn at Changchiarien, where Pang had already returned in the afternoon.
Un some minor points the evidence was very contradictory, but the more, important maiters came out very clearly, and there seams no reason to doubt that the above statement of the case is correct. Meng was no doubt the ringleader, Wu Fang-cheng helped to kill, Wu Ching-ming wounded Mr. Brooks. when, first seizing him. helped to take his clothes from him, was there at the murder, and assisted in hiding the body. There is no doubt these are the men who did these things, and there is no evidence of any others having had any hand in the actual murder. Li Tung-kuan was there, but took no part; Wang and Chang, who have not been arrested, were concerned in the taking and binding, bui disappeared from the band some hours before the murder; Pang was with the gang at first. but took no part in ill-treating Mr. Bronks, and did not go further than 10 / with them. There was no evidence to show that any other person had any connection with the affair. Li Ta-ch'eng, the Hsiachingtze, innkeeper, was under strong. suspicion of complicity, but though he may be more or less directly connected with the Tatao Hui, all the evidence went to show that he had helped Mr. Brooks, by giving him water and loosening his bonds. For these good deeds he was discharged, on finding guarantees.
The evidence of the prisoners when sified and arranged, amounts to the following:
Meng was the ringleader. He said the foreign devils had poisoned his brother, and others of his family hail been killed in the fight at Pingytan, where so many Boxers lost their lives some months ago. For revenge, there- fore, he came down from Enhsien o stir up strife in Feicheng. With Wang and Chang he went to Feich Cug city,, appeared on the streets of the south suburb with red cloths round their heads, get some recruits, and re-villages Changchiation and Maochiapu are to turned to Changchiatien, a large village about be severely blamed for their inaction, and 30 li west of Frich eng.

The sixth day the two Wa's (who were pot related to one another) and Pang, a mere silly youth led ostray by Wu Fang-ch'ng, went over from Peich'ng to Changchiation and joined Meng and the others in an inn there, on the morning of the 30th of December last.

The Commissioners left this city for Mongolia on the 13th inst., and the result will doubtless be interesting as showing the promptitude of the Government in acting in any international matter which nearly con cerns it and which I would be impolitic to pro- crastinate over. No British or United States Minister, since the country was opened to in- ternational intercourse, has ever met with such promptitude of action on the part of the powers that be. The pro-Russian party in Peking, however, deny that the Russians have anything to do with these Mongoliaus gold mines, but this is false, as future developments will cer tainly slow.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY.
THERAPION.
This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Kostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata, to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything | hitherto employed.
THERAPIÓN No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis cases. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacioas affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless,
THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains. and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diicases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c. to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.
THERAPION, No. 3, for nervous exhaustion, waste of vitality, and all the distressing con- sequences arising from early error, excess. residence in hot,-unhealthy climates, &c. It posseses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
THERAPION may be procured of the prin- cipal Chemists and Merchants throughout the world. Price in England 2/900d 4/6. "In order- ing, the purchaser should state which of the three numbers he requires, and observe that the
·word-" THERAPION" appears on the Govern ment, Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every genuine packaga by order of Her Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and with- out which it is a forgery.
