The number of refugees in Kirin has now been reduced about 1200, the majority having gradually taken advantage of the Chinese official offer of free transportation back to Siberia, some also having gone to Shanghai and elsewhere, also with transportation provided by the Kirin Provincial officials. As it is impossible that this relief work hould continue indefinitely it is doubtless best that it should terminate in the warm weather. A newly-formed international committee at Shanghai and also the Loagus of Nations are interesting themselves in the Russian refugee problem in China, and it is hoped that some permanent solution can be reached before winter.—Reuter.
