A man recently arrived from Kansuh reports that a good deal of mystery surrounds Tung Fuchsiang's movements. Not only is he en- gaged busily drilling his troops, but he has engaged a number of highly educated men, and an official who was banished to the borders of China is now employed as his secretary.

The Empress Dowager is once more report- ed to be weary of her public life, and will -ing to waive precedence in favour of the Em- peror, but the Eunuch Li forbids it, as sho values his life. This is natural, if convenient,
Yuan has reduced the high standard of quali fications for his new troops, finding it impos sible to raise a sufficient number of men of the stipulated-height: but in spite of this, and the guarantees under which the men are enlisted, the desertions have been very frequent, which would lead one to suppose they are not-belter paid than ordinary troops. The T. P. G. em. play sonie 2,000 police and pay them regularly every month, and have had nothing to com- plain of in the way of desertions, and a very fine body of men they are in the main.

the inter-State steamship companies got the build boats equal in size and comfort to the concessions asked for, they would be able to mail steamers.
