The mean temperature in "the", Gantok plain beyond the Khamba pasa is 12 degrees lower than the mean temperature here. The Grand Teshu Lama has been appointed spiritual ruler of Tibet in place of the Dalai Lama. The government of the country is now solely in the hands of the National Assembly, which is largely in fluenced by the monks of the three great monasteries. The Dalai Lama was never popular. The people are undemonstrative and are apparently indifférent about his deposition. The Ambao has posted a proclamation in Lhassa informing the people that by order of the Chinesa Emperor the Dalal Lama is deposed owing to his flight and desertion of his trust.

A bottle and a woman would tempt any of them from his post, and the misfortune they lament is that Newchwang affords so little temptation.' The correspondent confirms all that has been said about the
