NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Situation.
To say the least of it, the situation in the north is decideally puzzling. We were ins formed the other day that no less than sever thousand Russian troops had arrived at Tientsin, yet our Shanghai Correspondent wired yesterday to the effect that the Chinese were bombarding the foreign settlement at Tiesin with forty-pounder gns and bad destroyed the United States Consulate! To- day we hear that ammunition is running sliort and the Russians are hard pressed, while most of the concession is in flames.
The question that naturally suggests itself
is what has berge of the seven thousand Russian trongs and how is it that they aljewe xl flie Chinese to bring heavy guns within range of the foreign settlement? We have had no news of a Russian fore starting for Reking or to the lied or assistance of Admiral SexMour's column; yet it seems that the bulk of them must bare left Tien- tsin, or, how is the bombardment to be accounted for?
The fact that forty-pounders, were used in the bombardiment serves to show that the Chinese Imperial troops in the vicinity of Tintin have joined the Boxers. It is absurd to suppose that the Boxers them- solves were in possession of heavy ordnance and it is plain that it could only have been obtained from the troops, and that by dir joining forces with the members of this anti-foreign society.

These friendly contests are always well enjoyed both by spectators and players, especially while the plague restrictions curtail the chances of recreation and they tend a great. deal to keep up that ban camarade feeling which, while helping to maintain the esprit de: corps, always should exist between the messes of different units. The results, which we give below, shef a win for the Fusiliers in billiards by 291 points, but in the card game the tables were turned the Staff Mess beating their op: ponents by six points.
