The secretary of the French Municipal Council was killed The Cossacks bayonetted or shot every human heing that wore a queue. The Cossacks have done some of the hardest fighting around Tientsin, but also | some of the hardest looting. N. J.

Some had reported | having seen searchlights on the night be- | fore and heard the booming of distant guns. Sniping, though. still went on. During the night searchlights were seen throwing long lines of light across the | sky from a distance. The relief party had | arrived. They came into Tientsin at 3 | p. m. on the afternoon of Saturday. June | 23, The soldiers came in straggling par- ties, having had hard fighting all the way. A group was carrying James Watts, | the heroic _dispatch ~ rider, on their| shoulders. He was presented with a sword by the Tientsin Volunteers, and promoted to the rank of lieutenant. It is understood he is to be recommended to the Government of some of the allied powers: for decoration. There were 2300 in all in the rellef—British, American, Russian, German and Italian. The Brit- ish and Americans came up into Tien- | tsin from behind the military school, and | the Russians and Germans from near the raflway station. “Both columns _en- countered serious fighting, but the Rus. sians and Germans encountered the toughest opposition, the former losing | heavily. The " arrival of the rescuing party aroused much enthusiasm in the shof- riddled settlements. Flags were fiung to the breeze, and cheer after cheer given as the dust-stained. tired and dirty men stamped along. The force had two 12- pounders from the Terrible. Sending Aid to Seymour. On Sunday night rockets were seen from Admiral Seymour's party, and preparations were made to send a force to join hands with him.

The force got away safely, and next morning returned in company with the Peking re- lef force. Admiral Seymour reported having destroyed the Sio Kiu arsenal, which contained munitions of war to the value of £500.000 sterling. In the after- noon, scarcely before the handshaking with the returned expedition was over, the Chinese fort started shelling Tien- tsin again. A force was sent out to try and take the arsenal at the back of the military school in the evening. but it was obliged to return. The attack was renewed next morning, June 27, Russians, British and Japanese being employed. The Terrible's guns got into position about 4000 yards from the arsenal, and about the first or second shot the Brit- ish gunners hit the Chinese gun which had been causing so much trouble to the Russians and put it out of action. ‘Great was the rejoicing over the destruction of | The arsenal was in the hands of the al- | brought th witho! lied force by noon, but no fighting.
