'One thing which strikes us as being most
significant in the present crisis in the north. is the fact that despite the reported interrup; tion in the service of the Imperial Chines Telegraph between Taku and Chefon, the Chinese appear to be in possession of the news of each vietory of repulse several hours before the Europeans. We find that the -report of the relief of Tientsin appeared in the Chinese journals yesterday morning, hours before any foreigner was in possession of the
news.
The only reasonable explanation of this lies in the fact that the Chinese Telegraplis are worked by Chinese for Chinese, and the question naturally arises, are the lines in A. S. WATSON & Co., reality interrupted? We would call attention

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Situation.
The trouble in the North has at least demonstrated one important fact, and that is that weapons of precision, even in the hands of Chiness, are by no means to be despised. We have seen that the two first amps to relieve Tientsia were repulsed, and this was an eventuality that was hardly dreamed of in Hongkong." It was not for a moment supposed that Chinese troops, even though in superior numbers and used to foreign drill, could even make a stand against a much inferior force of Europeans. yet they have done so,
