Some time ago, we published an article on the state of affairs in Tonkin. In that article it was mentioned that zo indemnity of $30,000 had been paid to M. Lyaudet for the capture of himself and his wife and daughter by Chinese frontier piratse." „At the time, we were of opinion that our sor respondent's memory had played him false, as we had a distinct impression that M. Lyandat, some considerable time after his relosse (due to the good offices of the Chinese Gururaj Soo), had gone to Paris to lay his claims. before the French Authorities and to solicit the assist ance of his friends in the Chamber of Deputica. The question was raised in the Clasober, and was shelved. Knowing that

by the Frunch Minister at Peking and reported by the Times' correspondent probably refers to M. Lyaudot, who return- ed to Tonkin from Paris about two months. ago. In one of our Tonkinese contemporà». ries we read that the Government of tho Protectorate bas offered M. Lyaudet a si- tuation in the Government Office in Laos, and that M.
