TIENTSIN, November 24th. AMERIC N CONSULAR SYSTEM.

The marcares only lasted three days, and quite a percentage of the men were foutsure and generally played out, Even as late as then there was just a chance of giving offence if foreigners stood in the sure's to watch the Emperor ride by, and I remember we found it expedient to take shelter in a rather dark shop The Hockey Legue competition commences

discussion ensued in which Captains Hunter and Busk and Messrs. J. Allison, E. M. Lyon, R. Cummings, F.

It seemed that it was the marri d men-those who had to remit money home--who suffered the most and that some if these and their families were really in serious straits."

Capt. Hunter pointed out that the officers and engineers generally were not business men, and that they did not usually invest their spare cash as landsmen did. Instead, they usually put all their spare cash into
