BY DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE
Gen. Gordon Went Unarmed Through
War in China.

War in China.
In some "reminiscences of Sir Fred
erick st. John, a diplomatist who
served his country (England) we'll, we
have tie facts which prompted Gen.
Gordon to carry no weapon but a cane
when leading the imperial troops dur
ing the Tapping struggle.
When acting in conjunction with
the Chinese general San-ko-lin-sin,
against either Nankin or Foochow,
Gordon received a message from the
rebel leaders Offering submission if
their lives were guaranteed. Having
obtained the consent of the Chinese
commander, he agreed. The town sur
rendered, and the three rebel chiefs
appeared before San-ko-lin-sin. He
seeing that they had not shaved their
heads in sign of submission, had them
decapitated on the spot Whereupon,
exasperated beyond control by such
treachery, Gordon armed himself with
a revolver, and was fastening to the
generals tent with the intention Of
chastising him in the most summary
manner for his breach of faith, when
suddenly he paused, and coming, on
reflection, to the conclusion that his
contemplated act was simple murder,
he threw away his weapon and regis
tered VOW that so long as he re-
manned in China, he would never
again carry any weapon more formid-
able than a cane"
