Successful experiments had been
made through the entire length OF the

The latest mails from China and
India had reached England. 1t APP
pears AS if the Plcnipotentiarics would
gain very little by diplomacy from the
court at Pekin, and it is acknowledged
that the British campaign in India will
be tedious, dangerous and of doubtful
success. Revolt in Central India, and

following version of the late murder
committed by General Jim Lane. The
well to which jenkins desired access
was free to every and any ono, except
ing only jenkins, the man who has
been slain. That Lane shot without
lawful provocation, inasmuch as when
Jenkins was told by him that he would
shoot, jenkins merely replied, "No You
won't, jim" At this time he had the
axe, with which he was armed, in his
left hand, in no offensive attitude.
Lane shot without further advance or
action upon the part of his victim.

GUS nature, from the fact that he is
walking about the city of Lcavenworth,
