Vienna, 22nd September. Viceroy Alexeieff sent a long telegram to St Petersburg severely criticising General Kuro- patkin for retreating northward from Liaoyang, which he considers has discredited Russia in the Far East. The Tzar has sent strongly worded instructions to General Kuropatkin to the effect that he is to re-cap.ure Linoyang, and if possible, go to the rescue of Port Arthur, breaking through the Japanese Lines. General Kuropatkin is reported to be going to march southward as soon as reinforced by fresh Hongkong. troops.
London, 14th September... - The steamer Foxton Hall has arrived at Kiaochou and transhipped her cargo of coal to the German Neamer Brite. The former sailed for japan ostensibly; but it is believed that it was intended that she should supply the coal to Russian warships and colliers at Kiaochou.
Russian agents have lately been buying great stocks of coal. A large quantity has recently been shipped from Liverpool to Vindi- vostok. Some of it was sent to Hongkong for transhipment to the north...Several colliers are assembled in one of the uninhabited islands of the Philippines, waiting to supply coal to Russian warships.

The fir- ing is usually started by a few single shots for the purpose of getting the range, and then all guns that can bear on the largets fire, each officer of groups and each captain of guns trying to adjust his firing according to the approaching or receding of the ship to the target. The distance at which the operation has usually commenced has been about to,000 yards, and in a good many cases the extreme range of the guns has been employed. Nearly every conceivable tactic has been employed, and it is creditable to the ships of the fleet to be able to record the fact that, taken on the whole, the firing was good, notwithstanding that the weather was by no means favourable. The results have not yet been announced as the firing will be published in the quarterly returns. On the 23rd, after being anchored overnight, the flest again proceeded to sea, and firing with the light Q.F. and heavy guns was carried out, the targets suffering severely as the weather was favourable and the shell fire very accurate. The shrapnel literally tore up the wire meshes of the targets.
