He possesses a broad powerful back and round muscular quarters, great barrel and deep chest, allowing ample room for the vital organs. Thick neck, contae head, and big bold eyes describe him in front and short sturdy lege on rather straight pasterns indicate his understandings. His faults are rather a straight shoulder and a tendency in his hocks to meet. This des. cription is applicable to the stock animal of whom hundreds of thousands are engaged in carting work in the north of China. The Chinese cavalry and artillery are borsed by selected animals of the above type, many having a strain of lighter blood which renders them more suitable for mounted work. The most extraordinary uniformity in colour and shape is characteristic of
both cavalry and artillery, and I believe it

THE MISSION OUTRAGE AT CHANGPOO.
BECRET SOCIETIES AT WORK. Bloodthirsty Ambitions.
(From Our Correspondent.)
AMOY, February 12, The report of the attack on the English Presbyterian Mission which is operating in the Changpoo district, was received in Amoy with great indignation.
For some months past the whole of Changpoo has been practically seething with rebellion. Secret societies have been at work training men, preparing arms and rolling members. The main objects of these societies are:

Inflamed by their success the rebola thought the time had come for them to show their handa, and accordingly they marched on to the city of Changpoo in order to rout out the Presbyterians, but before they could do anything runners fron the Yamen had met the robele and invited their leaders to ace the Mandarin and discuss their grievances. This they assented to, and over a feast he had propar. ed the rebels chatted with the representative of the dynasty they had come to overthrow. The Mandarin extracted a promise from the rebel leaders that for the present no further action should be taken.
On the following morning, however, a new band of insurgents appeared and they commenced to make for the Presbyterian Mission, and burnt it down. All the ladies of the Mission had already left for Amoy and only one Missionary was left in charge. The Mandarin sent a guard to escort him to the Yamen, where he was afforded pro-
tection from the mob.
The higher Mandarins are now bestirring themselves and are sending soldiers to proify Changpoo.
LETTER FROM A MISSIONARY.
The following is an ex ract from a private letter received in Hongkong from one of the members of the Presbyterian Mission: We are all safe in Amoy, with the exception of the Rev.

Mr Grist (who appeared for the plaintiff) announced that he had carried out the ruling, and that the, caso had since been settled.

THE DIRECTORY AND
CHRONICLE.
The Directory and Chronicle of the Far East for 1908, issued by the Daily Press | Office has been published. The volume is
Larger than ever, and is enchanced in im- portance. The war between Russia and Japan rendered obsolete certain agreements appearing in previous issues of the volume relating to 'Manchuria and Corea, but the Dew agreements concluded during the past twelve months more than fill up the space the volume which the older agreemen's coupled. The treaty of peace between Japan and Russia; Japan's agreement with China regarding Manchuria; her Pro- tectorate agreement with Cores, and her
treaty of alliance with Great Britain are Included. The Huangpu Conservancy also appears. Besides these, it will be observed that the previously existing Orders in Council governing British subjects in China
|
and Corea have been replaced by the new order in Council which is now in force. The new rules for H.B.M.' Supreme Court for China and Corea necessitated by the new Order in Council' being not yet available, the old rules remain for the present in force modified in some important respects by certain provisional rules which have been adopted and which are included in the present volume.
