TIENTSIN DAY BY DAY.
(From Our Can Correspondent)) {
TIENTSIN, November 15th. General Yamane left Tienisin for home to day, and the Command of the Japanese forces remaining has fallen to Coload! Akiyaman, who was his Chief of staff. Guards of honour from
the various contingents attended at the station to see the General off, as I believe he made Mimself fairly popular throughout his stay here. The Japanese foren remaining here is stated to be about 50c. It has always been a little difficult, however, to correctly estimate the Japanese force, as their barracks appear to be rather promiscuously located.
The Temple of Heaven was formally handed back to the Chinese by the British on the 11th inst, and step, will be immediately taken by the Authorities to restore it to some degree of recognisability, as in its present condition it would never din for the Imperial gaze to fest upas It. Of all the places occupied by the British this will probably give the Chinese the most trouble, as most of the features which were peculia to the place have probably dis- appeared. The countless blue files (of which I possess one) which have been removed from the Altar of Sacrifice and other portions of the Temple can doubtless soon he replaced; but
the priceless blue jars may be another matter.
The new tariff does not affect the military supplica, as a notification appears in Orders that everything shipped or discharged for the use of foreign forces, Military or Naval, will be exempt from all duty if guaranteed by a Consular pass This is really a wonderful piece of justice One can hardly realize the Military are not to contribute something towards paying the in- demnity they have invoked.
November 16th. The week has been mainly remarkable for snap of severely'cold and blustering weather at the Bar the most unpleasant state of things prevailed. and the returning apologist had a most unhappy me on the Heaven-sent barrier, which must for onze have appeared more like a contribution from the nother regions, The foreign agent of the China Merchante went out to meet Prince Chun in a launch, but the Prince preferred to stay where he was and come in on the steamer, which only got in on Friday, Prince Chan bas gone straight up to Peking.
'The rough weather spoiled sport in Peking, the second day's races having to be abandoned altogether on account of the snow. Only the week before when our races were on folks were able to sit and walk about without costs and jackets. The result of the delay through the rough weather at the Bar threatens to be a lot of carga shit out. I hear there is more stuff Gerald, A. (Nagasaki.) Robson, S. G.

Mr. Pethick has returned to Paking from Chefoo, where he has been so long detained by ill health. He is hard at work on the life of
Li Hung-chang which it is hoped will soon be
finished now.
.
It is with much regret that Tientsin has received the unexpecah Announcement that the Hongkong Regiment is be with dmwn. Nothing was further from anticiple v tion either in military or civil circles thou any change in the force at this date. Whether they will get away and the relieving force. arrive seems more than doubtful. However, the orders have.come from home and must be abeyed if possible. The programme is that the and Rajputs are coming from Hongkong - and will be stationed at Tongshan ; the :4th Punjab Infantry now at Tonshan to come here; and the Hongkong Regiment to return to Hongkong. The last of the Hongkong Regi- ment is due to sail on or about 31st insti, under the most favourable circumstances they will get away none too soon. If the weather, is at all exceptional they will barely do it. The Hongkong Regiment has been ex-.. tremely popular here for the excellent conduct and smart appearance of the men, as wall as the geniality of its officers, and the change is a disappointing one for Tientsin
November 18th Nothing fresh has been heard from the Court since its arrival at Kaifongfu. Further Edicts. issued deal only with additional honours for Li's family, his eldest son being created o marquis, his. other sons, being raised in rank, and his grandson being given Literary degrees. Prince Ching is urging the Dowager to fix an early date for their arrival in Peking and the details of their reception in the capital, ore. being finally discussed. It is reported that the Emperor alone will enter the front gate, the Dowager and Empress entering the city by the west gate, as a sign of the Emperor's Sovereignty. All very good ifit lasts, The high officials who meet the Emperor at the gate aré to demean themselves as if he had just return- ed from an ordinary journey.
'-,
I heard the other day that one million tacks. had been dispatched by the Board of Revenue -15 Kaifengfu, and one wonders what this money could possibly be required for when the entire expenses of the return journey are being borne A by the local gentry. It would seemingly indicate provision against a possible change of mind in favour of remaining there.
Rumour has in that even on the morning of Li's death Russin's representatives were urging the signature of the Manchurian. Treaty. I am inclined to give Russia the benefit of this. doubi na she is too sure of her ground in that region to run such risk of being charged with barbarity.
The Commissioner of the Peking. Octroi, Prince Su, seems bent on checking fraud in connection therewith, as in spite of his former warnings he now issues a notification that mercha, ts and others who are aware of any squeeze being made and fail to report the same, will, if discovered, be punished along with the parties who made squeeze,
The price of coal, owing to the scarcity of. labour and the high rate for freight charged by the railway, is so high that the hot water shops are suffering badly, and many of them are closing, greatly to the public inconvenience.
I think I mentioned Russia's conditions, of handing over the Shanhaikyan-Newchwang line to China, and that she was demanding that all Chinese troops in Manchuria be drilled by Russian instructors. The privilege of instruct- ing, not to say appropriating the Chinese Navy is now being hotly pressed. Chinese Naval menare to have easy access to Russian schools; Port.
