whether Russia proposes to withdraw
her troops from Moukden, and release
the Tartar general of that city, now
held in custody in his yamen if these

officials of the Chinese foreign Office
that he is surprised that they snould

who was acting as chief of an irregu-

of China's policy to terrorize the
Chinese so as to prevent them from
entering the military employ of Rus
