Ralong, July 16.-A party of the 1st Mounted Infantry whilst reconnoitring, the enemy's position at the Karo Ls were fired on but without loss. They report that the defences are strongly held, positions streng- thened all round the hill-sides right and left where our flanking parties turned the enemy's position in the fight on the 6th May, and strongly sangared. The Mount-
ed Infantry captured 118 yaks with drivers. A Havildar and four men escorting these were attacked; they killed two of the enemy and brought in five prisoners who confirm the report of the second wall a mile, beyond the first position. The Yutok Shape has left Ralung without waiting for Colonel Younghusband. He is how with the Tibetans at the Karo La.

Camp Karo La, July 17-From Ralung the valley widens out and the country becomes more bleak and cultivation ceases. The ascent to the Karo pass is very gradual. The road first crosses
open plateau and then takes a sudden turn east for three miles through a narrow gorge. Our
camp, which is a thousand feet higher than Mont Blanc, must be the highest military camp on record. It lies at the foot of the Narjin Kongsang snow range. The pasa
is full of snow but a magnificent

the methods adopted being cal troops, oulated to secure the thorough defeat of the enemy with a minimum of loss on our side. Thus in an attack upon one of the thick walled buildings, all the entrances of which were closed, there was an admirable example afforded how this kind of fighting should be done. A detachment of Sappers, with a few Infantry to keep down the fire of the defenders, made a rush to the wall, breached it, and then signalled back that an entrance had been made. Upon this ten- pounder mountain guns opened fire at the breach with common shell, enlarging the aperture and driving off such of the enemy ng were preparing to repel the assault. While the gun were thus bring at short range the Sappers stood calmly aside under the walls so as not to be in the line of When they saw the breach was big enough they signalled again, the gs fired a few final rounds, and than

Food will surely create Polson,
If Digestion is Faulty.
Well-digested food is the source of strength. Every act, every thought,, every movement of muscle or mind uses up some of the substance of our bodies. Food repairs this loss, but only when it is digested.
Undigested food ferments in the stomach, poisons the blood, starves the body and lowers vitality.
To be strong and healthy, assist your stomach, liver and kidneys to do their work perfectly by taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, which contains food- digesting ferments and gentle tonics for the stomach, and has cured more dyspeptics than any other medicine in the world.
MOTHER
SEIGEL'S SYRUP
"For nine years I suffered from severe pains in the vicinity of the kidneys, lost my appetite completely, and could only take milk and beef tea;: anything more substantial would not remain in the stomach. I became so ill that I was forced to take to my bed. A doctor treated me for almost two months, but without success. On arriving at Cape Town at the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup. One bottle relieved nie, and now I am never without a bottle in my house. X. Narodien, Malay Location, Johannesburg, March syth, 1904.

It aids Digestion, and Food well digested. means Strength, Vitality, Health

A Case from Robinson Road., Particulars of a case which looks sus- piciously like murder came to hand to-day, the crime, if such it was, having taken place on Friday night last.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE BAMBOO POLE CASE. To the Editor of the 'CHINA Man' The bamboo' case has aroused con- Bidorable public interest. One does not readily meline to criticise the lucubrations of our learned Judges, their decisions are like the minister's sermons on Sundays they must be borne patiently. But it is harily possible not to comment on the Contrust presented by the two speeches of our learned Judges-the one well thought out, full of common senso, well strung together, to the point and absolutely at variance with the other, which it is im possible to characterise.
Mr Smith states that the rifle is cal- culated to incommode; so are umbrellas, etc. This spurious assumption is the basis of Mr Smith's view, and he raises on it a huge superstructure which, even if well founded, might easily topple over out of sheer irrelevance. Mr Smith's argument is in the following terms. If the sub- section in question applies to all things calculated to incommode and rifles, &c., are included in that genus, then a very great hardehip will be entailed upon the inoffensive person who manages to carry an umbrella or rifle without incommoding.

SPORTING.
WATER POLO SHIELD COMPETITION.
THE CHINA MAIL.
Arrangements for the Water Polo Shield Competition are now completed, and the draw for the first round has been publish ed. It is rather a pity that the Lusitano Club and the Y.M.C.A. could not see their way to place teams in the competition. As matters now stand five teams have entered, and, as the content is to be governed by 'Cup Tie' rules, four games only will be played, unless, of course, any game resulta in a draw and has to be replayed. At this stage the result of the competition is much in doubt, but it is confidently anticipated that A' team V.R.C., and 'C' team V.R.O. will meet in the final. It is stated that one of the members of 'A' team will be an absentee, which, if true, will weaken the team somewhat. The first round is to be played off before August 19.

of the boat in Chinese feet, but now they wish to measure in English feet. This is grievance enough with a boat of ordinary beat, but when the taxgatherers come to a great heavy cargo boat of great carrying capacity they cogitato and come to the conclusion that this boat is the same length as the other, but the beam is considerably moro, so being experts in measurements they proved to measure the circumference of the boat. Strangely enough the boat people do not see the force of this new method. The rice shops, not being able
to procure rice, have threatened to lose to-thorow. There are rumours that the authoritīds are likely to give way.

in a win for Kemp and the other in a draw. The semi-final was thus won by Kemp, who will meet C. H. Falloon in the final. Five games are to be played for the final, the player successful in three of them to be
