DlSC0RD BY SMALL POWERS.
Their Demand for Equal Voice In Chinese
Affairs.

Affairs.
London, Nov. 13.-Another element
OF discord among the allies in China,
according to the Daily Mails Tientsin
correspondent, is the importunate
clamoring of the small powers for a
voice in any important decision taken.
These are Belgium, Denmark, Holland
and Spain, the most eXacting and
troublesome being Belgium. The Claims
of these minor powers are backed by
Russia, and, to lesser degree, by
France, while the rest OF the allies,
especially England and Germany, are
opposed.
Its significance" he said, cannot
be overrated, and Belgium in China is
intensely pro-Russian, and indeed, to
all intents and purposes it is Russian.
The Pekin- Hankow concession is an
intance in point. In backing Belgium.
Russia, who also represents the inter-
ests of Denmark, materially aids her
own plans. The rest of the great pow
ers maintain that only those should
have predominant voice in the final
settlement who have borne the brunu
of the military operations. This does
not mean that the interests of the
lesser nations shall be in any way
jeopardized or prejudiced, but it is
quite another matter to place the lat
ter on a level as regards the general
Chinese question. With the great pow
ers it is noticeable that no power save
the United States is really reducing
troops to any serious extent
Russia DeprecaUes Severity.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 13.-Russia is
becoming increasingly restless on ac-
count of the strict course of the allies,
particularly the Germans and British,
toward the Chinese. Russians" says
the Bourse Gazette, will reap the
hatred Of foreigners which the Ger
mans and British are sowing"
Official circles in ST. Petersburg do
not conceal their dissatisfaction over
the recent executions Of Pao-Ting-Fu
officials.
Battles In Southern China.
Victoria, b. c., Nov. 13.-News was
received by the steamship Victoria
concerning the rebellion in south
China. The Triads have broken out in
Kwang 81, and Marshal Su, comman-
der-in-chief Of the imperial forces, is
asking for 10000 men to suppress
them. The British have dispatched
infantry and artillery to guard the
Kow-Loon frontier. When the tor
pedo boat destroyer Handy was land
ing men il encountered force of
rebels and threw shells among them
as they advanced on Sanchuan, routing
them and killing forty. A strong force
of Kwansi rebels, marching to join the
Kwansing rebels, met and defeated the
imperial troops near Kuangning and
captured thirty. A battle was tough
at Tsan Tsou, on the Shantung-C
border, on Oct. II, between the i'm
perial troops and the Boxers. General
Yuan's troops numbered 5000 and the
Boxers $4,000. Two thousand men were
left to guard Tsangchou, and General
Mel, in charge Of the imperial troops,
gave battle outside. The battle lasted
all day and resulted in the defeat of
the Boxers with great loss. Their
leader, Chen, refused to retreat, and
when the fight was lost fought with
300 desperadoes in a ravine until all
were killed. His head was taken and
hung on the walls of the city. Six
thousand rebels were killed

flee as follows: Gen. Knox states he
takes no credit for the very successful
engagement of Nov. 6, which was due
in the first instance to the determine
ton of lie Calais never to lose touch
with the enemy, and, secondly, to the
able way in which De Isle handled
the firing line after De Calais and
Ross were wounded. The next day the
Beers tried to seize the strong posi-
ton on the bank of the Komati, from
which they were beaten out Nov. 6.
but were prevented by Col. Evans,
with the Canadian mounted troops,
galloping two miles and Selling it in
the nick of time. Smith-Dorrien says
no praise can be too high for the de-
voted gallantry these troops showed in
keeping off the enemy from the in
fantry conveys. In the afternoon an
event unprecedented in this war oc-
Cured, when some 200 mounted Beers
suddenly charged the rear guard to
within seventy yards, when they were
stopped by the Canadian dragons.
During the fight sixteen of the Cana
dians fell into the hands of the enemy,
who treated them kindly, and released
them after removing their own dead
and wounded during which operation
the Canadians We're compelled to lie
on their faces in order that they might
not see how heavily the Beers had

Local Treatments for Catarrh RELOCATED
to the Rear.

3 The surest and safest treatment for any
form of catarrh is an internal remedy
which acts specifically upon the blood and
mucous membranes. Such a remedy is
the new preparation sold everywhere by
druggists as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a
medicine in pleasant tablet form.
These tablets contain in highly concen-
trated form we'll known germ antisep-
tics like sanguinaria, guaiacol, Red Gum
and similar curative elements, and no one
who suffers from any form of catarrh,
and has experienced the inefficiency and
inconvenience of powders, sprays and in
halers will ever go back to sucn antigua
ted remedies after once trying so pleasant
treatment as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and one which gives so much relief in
so short time.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at fifty cents for full sized package
and their daily use will effectually cure
this troublesome and dangerous disease
The danger from catarrh is that it is
a short road to consumption, TO chronic
stomach catarrh and to catarrh of liver
and kidneys.
Most cases of deafness are caused from
stoppage of the Eustachian tube as a re-
suit of catarrh
