In memory of MIR KING E WATSON.
who departed this life December 18th, 1899
May his soul rest in Peace
Why weep for him who's gone before,
Whose lease of life is ended:
He's now with God forevermore
And with his spirit blended.
No more the sorrows of this life
win have for him meaning.
No more for him is nauEht but strife,
The harvest after cleaning.
We miss him from his accustomed place.
For he can fill 1t only;
We miss his voice. his CHEEKY face;
His absence makes us lonely.
But we must feel. it's for the best,
That God is with us dealing:
And though He may us sorely test,
lie always gives the healing

for his calmness in discussion his gener-

AS to his fitness for the Office of

Tien-tsin Dispatch Declares the Ger

Many wounded In Battle
Nenr Paoting-fu.

London. Dec "A dispatch to The
Pail Mall Gazette, dated at Nanhow
pass on Dec. 3, contradicts the statement
made by Field Marshal Count Won wal
dersee in his dispatch to Berlin regarding
the <algan expedition. In his dlspatch
Count Won Waldersee said the eXpedl-
tion was a great success and that sew
pral thousand Chinese troops, under Two
generals. had been driven in wild flight
from the province of Chill to Shansi.
The correspondent of The Pail Mall
Gazette declares that the expedition was
ineffective. Some towns on the way TO
Kalgan were occupied without opposi-
ton.
Repeated attempts were made to en-
gage the Chinese regulars, but they were
only successful on one occasion, when
the cavalry came in contact with hasti-
ly retreating force and killed 30. They
also captured the baggage of the Chinese
soldiers and 10000 taels in money.
Three mandarins, who were the insti-
gators of the massacre of converts, were
executed at Tsiming, but beyond this
the Germans made no effort to exact
reparation for outrages by the Chinese.
The German officers also generally ig-
nored all evidences Of antiforcign activi-
ty. The correspondent concludes by stat
ing that the excessive withdrawal by the
allies of troops from Peking and the ap-
parent complaeency of the powers have
created bad impression, and the mis-
sionares anticipate recrudescence OF
the outrages in that vicinity and Il re-
newal OF the disturbances in the Interior
German Losses.
An undated dispatch from Ticn-tsin by
way of Shanghai says it is reported that
the Germans lost 20 killed and many
wounded west of paotng-fu, where they
were attacked 10y 2.1UO Boxers.
\ dispatch from Ticn-tsin says:
