The destruction of a Russian battery in one of the recent engagements is thus described to M. Nemirovitch Danchenko, the well-known novelist and special correspondent of the

“Russkí Slovo and Associated Press.

"Can anything," he says, "be more terrible than the death of a whole section of an army under your "yes when you see the process of destruction and are unable to do anything whatever to prevent it? It was impossible to leave the 4th Battery on its old position-a hill culting through our centre, where only two insignificant battalions were stretched over a distance of two and three-quarter versts. Two Japanese batteries loomed in front of ours. They were prefectly covered, while our 4th Battery stood quite open before them. The enemy turned two guns upon our left flanks and began to thunder, unseen by us, from the

No horses could enter this hell and emerge alive looked long at this burial place of dead guns. Their lives were short but noisy perhaps more to be envied than the slow existance of others that are now being dragged along the dust and mud of the Manchurian roads. The abandoned guns lie like corpses in the yellow sand, cover ed by lead, cast iron, and steel. Now black spots are rapidly approaching them from the other side. They move, collect, disperse along the edge of the flat space, open fire upon our centre, if we may call a centre two battalions stretched along two and three-quarter verste,"

All at once the battery becomes silent. The enemy thunder at it from the other side. No answer. We be- come strangely excited. What does this silence mean? Black spots are running in all directions on the yellow platform they are bustling, some important movement is taking place, something sudden. Why are the guns silent, why do they not answer? Thank Heaven! There is a crack of one gun, of another, of a third. They bays hurled their deficient shells upon the enemy. A vo'ley, a second, a third! It seems impos. sible from here, that the Japanese can with stand such a fire. A minute, another, and they will be silenced. We wait for this with beating hearts. It seems to us somehow that such an

end would only be justice, nothing else. We follow the smoke of the explosions on the opposite side. These are our shells exploding, and scattering away, as we imagine, scores, hundreds of the enemy. The 4th Rattery, so suddenly revived, does not cease firing-it thunderi incessantly, and all the black slopes send back the echoes in a dull, disconnected fashion. The echoes carry the rounds far, far away to where the other batteries in their turn roar at the enemy's position. The soldiers-look round with a self-satisfied air. "That's how we work; they will know us." We none of us, guess that the unfortunate 4th Battery is now struggling for its life, counting its last minutes, spending the last atom of its force. Black spots continue to run from the ammunition boxes to the black lines. Our steel Jaws roar to

IN CHINA.

For the two chief

The observer of the existing state of aflairs in China may well ask why there are so many risis to-day, which are really unparalleled in the history of China. The question, it must be admitted, is very difficult to answer, and can only be satisfactorily replied to by those who have lived long in the places where the riots, have occurred and have witnessed them with their own eyes. It has been ascertained that the causes leading to the riots are two, namely, the effort to oppose taxation, and the ecclesias. tical question, and to these may be added the pocketing of the soldiers' pay, with the result generally of a mutiny. causes mentioned the Chinese; Government must be held responsible. The taxation is forced upon the people, and,"in due time, the imposition becomes intolerable ple in order to get justice and show their how their disapproval must make themselves heard by some means. There is another important point to be considered in connection with this act of the Government, namely, that when the order to levy taxation of any kind is given, the compt officials and wicked gentry at once take it as a chance to squeeze the people. So, almost in all taxation only a small amount goes to the Government, strictly speaking while the greater part is absorbed by the officials and gentry. The missionaries are protected by their own Governments, while the native con- verts, whose numbers are very great and who' are found all over the Empirere in turn pro- lected by the missionaries. If. therefore, there should be any religious trouble of magnitude all that would be done, would be to approach the Chinese Government with a warning and a pro- test or a demand for compensation. Judging from recent affairs the people are the sufferert, and the outsiders, the gainers. According to the so-called judicial systear in China, the Sub. Prefects are under the instructions of the Vicorays med Governors, and the fatter under the orders of their Government. Since the Goversment is afraid of the outsiders, it is

quite natural that the only coune open to the Viceroys, Governors, and Sub-Prefects in dealing with any religious question would be to yield as much as possible and to effect an easy settlement by over-ruling the protests of the people. But this would not help the question in any degree, and would

anlý be liable to endanger the situation, for soon after a settlement is arrived at, another trouble of a similar character breaks out, this time greater and more carefully planned than before, and having as its object not only anti- religious sims but anti-official aims as well. It is quite right to get the ring-leaders under the requirement of the law, but it is certainly too much to treat alike the officials having jurisdic tion over them.-Universal Gazette.

the almost. We are far from guessing the despair, the death agony, in this thunder. But what is this? Never-and it is my second war -did I see anything like it. The Japanese guns have lifted their black muzzies from be bind the crests that surround them, and have est to work to destroy this unhappy yellow hill, IMPORTANT NOTICE.ith its tiny black lines, black spots, and black, cubes, from which innumerable black tendrils are now trailing. It is an orgy of exterminat ing fire! I look with anguish in my heart. The screen from under the hills is dispersing in all directions. Is it possible? Is there really a force in the world capable of compelling.our | men to move away? Yes there is, and there it is before me. Something indescribably ter rible. Scores of shrapnel cases explode at the same time above the doomed battery. Scores of fires flash from the white clouds, scores of small clouds melt into a larger one, shutting ful from us the unfortunate flat space, the black lines and black spots. The lawful business of the Japanese gunners is not interrupted for a moment. Innumerable grenades break answ into a triumphant chorus. They dig into the soil of the hill and throw up brown mastes of cloud that appear to ba tinged with blood. These masses are soon merged into one, shut- ling out from us à hell that is celebrating its cruel victory there. Everything. becomes
