meaning. Exchanges between the va
rious powers have been going on con-

had the satisfaction Of knowing late

United States had the approval and
support of all the great powers. While
this had not been expressed in any
formal manner by all the parties, yet
the exchanges in the chancellories of
Europe and through the foreign repre-

positive that the powers were acting
unitedly in approval of the course of
this government.

that the taking of Aigun has sealed the

Cossacks rode over the field, killing
all the wounded with the butt ends of
their muskets."

giving details regarding the capture of
that place, says: 1.-THE Russians and
French held the left, the British the
left center, the Americans the right
center, and the japanese the extreme
right. The British and Americans ad-

for 5000 yards under a severe shell
and rifle fire. The Russians opened
