But when the Court hadarrived at Hslan, the conduct of Li Lien-ying underwent a sud- den change and again he was the arrogant and blustering eunuch of Peking days, insomuch that more than once was Governor Tsen heard remarking to his intimates: "How I regret I did not decapitate this trailor while on the road! Even then, with his party gathered around him at Hsian, Li Lien-ying had a wholesome fear of Governor Tsen, for the former never rested until he had succeeded in transferring the latter to the Governorship of Shansi, and out of the way.
THE MANILA ARMY SCANDAL,
The report that Captain. Barrows, quarter- master of the Department of Southern Luzon, together with several noncommissioned officers and a number of civilians, have been arrested in Manila, and that extensive frauds have been discovered in the commissary department there, has tended to dampen somewhat the enthusism aroused by the capture and imprisonment of Aguinaldo." This humiliation of the recent. revelations," remarks the Indianapolis News (Ind.), is enough almost to dim the glory of Funston's act."

Consequently the profits to be made by the sale of government, supplies are enormous, and it would be strange, if somebody had not yielded to temptation."
All decrees before publication have to pass under the inspection of Lien-ying, and he keeps constantly by the side of the Empress Dowager when she presides over the Grand Council. Indeed, there were times when seeing the Empress Dowager unable to reply to some questions asked in the Grand Council, Li Lien-ying himself replied for her as he stood by the Throne. Whenever memorials anive Li Lien-ying reads theur himself, keeping the Empress Dowager ignorant of them, and he shelves or destroys at pleasure such as are displeasing to him, or meant as an attack on the reactionaries, or on subjects of reform. The evil influence of this infamous eunuch upon the Empress Dowoger is such that it is noticeable that whenever the Empress Dowager is alone in the Grand Council deliberations she usually maintains a pleasant smiling face; but when I Lien-ying standa by her side she Assumes a stem and forbidding aspect.

Before and after the fall of Peking The Sincan, which, it must be ter membered, is a semi-official paper published here and an organ of E. Sheng, has a very interesting letter from a correspondent at lisian who joined the Refugee Court a few days afer it had left the capital, in August last, and a companied it to Hsian. The following is our translation of the letter:-
It is the conviction of many here after due weighing of the pros and cons of the matter, that the trouble last year in Peking with the Foreign Powers was due solely to the en. couragement which the Chief Eunuch, Li Lien- ying, gave to the Boxers and their nctorious leaders Princes Tan and Chuang, Kang Yi etc. it is stated that Prince Tuan became a close ally of Li Lien sing at the commence-
ment of the laser disturbances and eventually, whenever the former obgained an Imperial decree from the Enipress Dowager in favar of the Boxer movements, he (Prince Tuan) invariably gave out, in, speaking of these decrees,These were decided upon between the Chief Eunuch, Li, and myself,” the object being to encrce and overawe any official who might oppose the inatter and seek to persuade the Empress Dowager ti withdraw her decree, Moreaves, Li Lien-ying led the movement to get the Boxers to attack the Foreign Legations, and in conjunction with Prince Tuan, cic obtained Imperial recognition and rewards for. those desperadoes who showed bravery in at tacking foreigners.
The Empress Dowager, at first, was kept fully cognisant of what the Bosers and Imperial troops were doing in Peking, so that whenever a volley of small arms or a cannon was fired some of the younger eunuchs would invariably rush into the Empress Dowager's apartment, and say "They are now attacking another devil's Hall (or house,)"
[Note-It seems evident from this little episode that the Empress Dowager was ap parently anxiously waiting, every moment for the news of the fall of the Legations-Trans fator]
The Empress Dowager always believed news like this, but she was kept in ignorance of the disasters that were befilling her troops at Tientsin, etc.
BOER PRISONERS FOR AHMEDNAGAR.
The Bombay Gazelle of the 27th ult, gives an account of the arrival of the Hawarden Castir at Honibay on the 23rd ult, with the Boer prisoners for Ahmednagar. Their departure from Bombay for that place is thus described:
The first train having received its full com plement moved away without any demonstra- tion from the public or prisoners. The second train toad, however, contained, the musical party of the contingent. Before leaving the ship they sang the Boer anthem at the request of Mr. Vels, a Landdrest, to please a lady, who, visiting the ship expressed a desire to hear the hymn. They also honoured Captain Warden, die Commander of the vessel, by singing For he's a jolly good, fellow" and giving three cheers for the officers and Crew of the ship. This testimony to the treatment they received on pleasant board the Hawarden Castle. So far as the officers were concerned, they were treated in every respect as first class passengers. In the trains they were accommodated in first class carriages, in every respect equal to those re- served for the British officers proceeding with them. As they proceeded to the train they carried with them bottles of soda water and they were also provided with whiskey.to com plete the favourite mixture of this country,
