Features of the Mortality eteeerd In

The fighting in South Africa during
the peat twp illgratlla has not been of
a very merderous olaaractter and a
muoh smaller number of Britise sol-
diers have been killed on the field or
died of wounds received, in action than
during the earlier raonths of the war.
But it must not be imagined that the
total number of deaths lias kept pace
with the reduction, In.etead of falling
off at a correspouding rate the death
list has gramme with appalling rapid-
ity. The deaths by disease have in -
eased so fast that the diminished

F.eeoneiliation With the Christians

A. Canton despatch of Temedaya date
says the Chinese papers publish two
edicts from the Dennager Empress,
which reached Li -Hung -Chang some
days ago. They state that recon-
ciliation witfa the Christians, against
wtom the whole nation, includin,g the
militant, and the nobles and princee
is united, in order iio stamp them
out,. is completely out of the ques-
tion.
The edicts say the foreigners began
the fight a.gamst China with the at-
tack upon Taku. The. bitter feeling
against foreegnees bad consequent-
ly increased, and any attempt to put
