office adjutants are bewildered at the
ado raised throughout the country by
what they consider an. amusing little
game of Lord Salisbury.s, ending to Eng
lands advantage. It Is explained thus
to the Associated Press:
HOW IT WAS DONE.
First, came the formal announcement
that troops would be landed, then few
days wait in which the foreign consuls In
Shanghai wagged their heads and wired
to their home governments, mutterings
of disapproval on the continent and the
stirring UP of Chinese opposition at
Shanghai. troops arrived at Shanghai
and the vieeroy resists their landing,
saying that France and Russia object,
the consuls meet and several Of them
assert If the British land troops we will
land troops, too. Admiral Seymour,
after wiring London, announces that
England withdraws and troops do not
land, and sailing orders are Issued; the
next day every commercial interest in
Shanghai cries out in -dismaY,. the censuls
revise their views and join in requests
to their governments to induce the Brit
ish' to land for the security of Shang-
hail. the British sail away, -intimations
are received at the foreign Office from
France, Germany and Austria that they
are quite willing the troops should land
the transports are pursued and brought
back and the troops are disembarked
The foreign office expresses the opinion
that the business was, admirably worked.
The government is arranging to relieve
Lord Roberts in South Africa, and ac-
cording to a general of less conse-
quence the vexatious work of running
down the PARTISAN bands there The
present purpose it is understood, is to
recall Lord Roberts in October; announc-
ing then that the war is a an end Gen
Lord Wolseley will relinquish the post
of commander-in-chief of the army In
October and Lord Roberts will almost
certainly replace him. zs-' s-.-ss-
AS the barracks in the United King

tiers have been begun at 'sAldessifets and
elsewhere in which to house the return

was the most excellent blood purifier
in the world. MY disease, Erysipelas,
