handsomely to the relief of famine-stricken Christians, have rightly, won for him the appro bation of all civilised nations. The stand be took and courageously maintained placed him in a position of personal peril. "Yet he proved equal to the occasion. Like Yuan Shib-k'ai and the Yangtze Viceroys he refused to obey the edicts for extermination of foreigners. For a time it seemed he meant to falter and follow the lead of the Peking policy. Just then the" able and intelligent Covermor-Geneiol T'ao was in Isanan and he strongly supported Tuan. Tao's son in particular insisted that Boxerism was a bubble and that in any case it could not be wrong to follow the dictates of humanity and the enactments of international law. This support turned the tide and next day three of the leading Boxers were executed and the peace of Shensi and the lives" of foreigners secured. The fullest credit must be give to Tuan for the decision he arrived at and for the action he took-imperilling as it did his own life and affecting his health. The Governor is a connoisseur in curios. The col- lection of all sorts of oddities and antiques has heen a life-long hobby,

to his personal friends of rare articles. His family residence in Peking contained an in- |valuable collection of objects of vittu. "When the war broke out last year he sent a special deputy to Peking to secure and bury most of his valuable weasures. Afterwards when he learned that his house had been totally. looted he was both exceeding sorry and angry. He was hurt to lose his priceless valuables and enraged that he had been treated as a foe. He averied that, as a Confucian Official, he had incontrovertible arguments that refuted the special pleadings of the Christian Missionary. Whatever may be sid of loating by the troops it is certainly a most regrettable incident that the house of Tuan was so ruthlessly despoiled. It is some satis- faction to know that some of his effects were returned and 'competisation made, and his rank and friendliness recognised. He is an official we shall hear more of soon.
