Unrest in China,
According to latest advices the situation
in China is anything but assuring. A wide.
spread feeling of unrest prevails ; 10/111e in
several places riots have occurred and blood
has been spilled. The whole count ry' seems
to be on the verge of a rebellion. A de-
spatch front Shanghai says ; " The whole
empire is in 0 ferment ; Pekin is in a panto ;
foreign volunteers are drilling assiduously
in Shanghai 3 warships are hurrying front all
parts of chtneso itud Japanese waters up to
the Yangtsze, and the yellow bosom of the
Eldest Son of the Ocean ' is covered 103111
the men-of-war of Great, Britain, America,
Franee and Germany, while the quick
cruisers of Russia and Spain aro hag ming
for the protection of people of their nation-
ality from tile South and further east. The
air is full of trouble and the Centrol Gov-
ernment of Pekin is simply paralyzed with
terror at the seriousnese of the situation."
This despatch is confirmed by the Steamer
Empress of %din, lately arrived at Vie -
thrive B.C., which reports that the whole
southern portion of China is in a state of
turinoll, law itnd order being set at defiance,
and atoned liands of plunderers making busi-
ness almost impossible. What adds to the
tierroustioss of the situation as seen through
European and American eyes is the eireum.

the foreign residents who live in constant

That this is bad news no one will deny.
And yet, it is a question that America (in-
cluding both the United St:steamed Canada)
may ask, Is there not some justification for
this opposition to foroignera? Have Ameri-
cans 5110011 themselves worthy of the hospi-
