We (China Times) have been favoured with the following communication from Liao-

Henry James Mid Heton, correspondent of the Sssociated Press; died in a Russian Red Cross camp, thirty-five versts south east of Liaoyang, on the Feng-buan-cheng road, on Sunday, June 4th, of dysentery. He was buried at four o'clock the following day, not far from the camp, by the Red Cross officers London Daily Express, and Lord Brooke of and by Douglas tory, correspondent of the

people received the Imperial instruction gladly. The earth recognized the imperial goodness and brought forth abundantly. Tai Sz collected the popular songs and rhymes to learn from them the thoughts of the people. Chik Fong Sz investigated the habits of the people to find out their desires: When poverty was found the emperor regarded this as due to some fault of his. When the people sinned the emperor accused himself, the rout of the evil was not to be found in the people. The Emperor sought to arouse the people to a sense-

of their duty. He sounded an alarm bell To those who were obedient rewards were given. To other memorial arches were erected. Re- cords were carefully kept of all virtuous deeds. Because of these things quietness reigned, The Emperor exercised a beneficent tule over his people.

Who would have imagined that such a glorious period would be followed by a time of corruption; that worthless know nothings would be invested with imperial power; that every interest of the people would be neglected; that the rulers would despise the people and regard them as the dust of the ground; that life and death would be lightly regarded by them and that promotion and degredation would be a matter of imperial pleasure. The good (em- peror's friends) should be allowed to dwell in peace and the wicked (reformers) put to death. Thus the life of the nation was stifled and the

field. Calamities overspread the land like a independence of the people crushed out. Life was no more regarded than the grass of the

STORMING A TIBETAN FORT.

BRILLIANT SCALING FEAT.

Gyantse, 6th July. There is no more stirring story in the annals of Indian frontier warfare than that of the cap- ture of Gyantse fort, held by 7,000 Tibetans, by a handful of British and Indian soldiers. The excitement of the long day culminated in the scaling of the breach in the walls of the jong by Lieut. Grant, 8th Gurkhas, followed by a mixed company of Gurkhas and Fusiliers. It was with bated breath that these heroic men climbed a cleft in the rock in the face of a hail

of fire and torrents of stones burled on their heads by the frantic Tibetans. A stone struck Lieut. Grant and swept him off his feet, one thought to certain death below, but he re- covered himself wonderfully and was the first man over the breach. As I write at dusk
