Although the American Consul in Can
ton, China, has not been assassinated as
was reported, foreigners in. that city are
still IN Danger The new ticefoy; Chang
Hal Sing, is merely a cut-throat. In his
youth he fiourished as the leader of band
of highwaymsn in a northern province of
China. The Government finding it i'm
possible to capture him, made him a
Mandarin, and gave him Viceroyshfp, a
post fer which his early tfaihing eminent:
ly fitted him. Chang has since abjured
socialism, but hates the outer barbarians
and their innovations. During the recent
disturbance the body of Chinese boy,
killed by a European, was left lying for
days in the street to excite the fanatirisn
of the mob. Crowds of Cinnamon go
about the streets shouting: "Dovn with
foreign DEVILS"
