camped on the north bank Of the

lows: An extraordinary mission has ar
rived az Tientsin. conveying birthday

ton OF the Chinese telegraph lines with
those of Burmah and other parts of India
The United States steamer Monacacy
has arrived at Tientsin. The war news
which has been received at Tientsin thus
far is considered worthless.

to Tacoma, Sept D. The Picking govern
ment is greatly alarmed by the news of the

The Kwongyi. the Chinese man of-war
destroyed by ire after the naval engage

Peiyang squadron.
Now that the Viceroy LIS protege, Liu
Ming-ch 'uan. has refused 10 go up TO
Tientsin or to lead the army going to
Seoul. il seems that the central govern
ment has turned its attention to the ex-
governor Of Chinese Turkes.an. Liu
Chintang. This parsonage is now at
siangyin, Human. and special secret de-
cree was promulgated on the 9th inst.
commanding his appearance in the north
and ordering that all the veterans of Tso's
army and younger Hunanese be placed
under Liu Chintang for active service in
the north. This seems to indicate that
the star of the Anhui faction under the
VIceroy Ii is waning. and that the Human
element is coming TO the front once more.
