A fire broke out yesterday morning in a raw
medicine store a short distance east of the Steamer whinifs. Fur or five shops were bummed as a quantity of medicines destroyed, The hand pumps responded promptly and the pumping station soon had water playing on the fire. That many more houses were not des tryed is due to the way in which the men worked the pumps and the host.

23rd July. The past week has been one of em tions and farewells. The opening and consecration of the new church on Sunday was a greatly event in the lives of many here, and a great strain on all concerner, as not only was the service a very long and impressive one, but in it was involved the close of une faithful în înistéy and the begining of another, it being Mr. Hiff's last Sunday in Tientsid. He and his family, with a large arty of friends, all going home via Iberia, left Tientsin by rver at daylight this morning for Chefon where they catch a steamer for Dalny and entrain there. If that is nothing occurs between now and then to stop them, I have always had my doubts as to whether this party will get through at all, or without some difficulty, and news from all directions indicates inalters are coming to a climax. There is now little or no disguise in the movement of troops into and not out of Manchuria, the tendency being of course to concentrate at Port Arthur and along the
