March on kirin and Harbin.

Gunshu Pass, March 23.-The Jap
anese appear to have given the Rus
slams a temporary respite from pur-
suit, probably for the purpose of re-
forming their forces, as they did after
the pursuit of the Russians north from
Lao Yang. The Russian front runs
southeast by northwest, and the Rus
sian right much nearer the railroad
than the left. while the Japanese posi-
ton follows line intersecting Kai-
yuan.
The impression here is that the jap
anese eastern army is marching on XII
rim, while the western army is contin-
uing north between the Mongolian bor-
der and the main line of the railroad,
with Harbin its objective.

1t was yet early in the morning, the
dew was on the gossamer. Gil be-
guiled those last hours of the early
morn with "reminiscences of the times
he had had in London, that "hotbed Of
iniquity."
The road had been for miles through
a forest tract where the trees were SO

brightly, splashes of light were seen
only in places. We came out abrupt

We kept to the sides of the road so

When we had ridden near enough, we
stopped in the sheitering shade OF
clump of trees. 1t hid us from view.
To the side of the road a post coach
was standing on the two wheels of

air looking woefully out of place The
