Other LonOss
The Edinburgh Scotsman in its Yokoha-
ma mail discovered the following rather
sensational item:
The Rev. Summers, the head Of the En-
Qish school ut Topic, went into the streets
last month 81 witness Royal procession.
In accordance with the native usage he
uncovered as the Dowager-Duchess
passed, but replaced his hat 100 soon to
please the escort guarding Her Majesty,
and trooper instantly removed Mr.. sum-
mers' head-coyering with his lance, slightly
MERGING his cheek whilst doing so. The
incident caused sensation at the time,
but the excitement grew more intense
as exaggerated and distorted versions
OF the occurrence circulation amongst the
natives, and the demonstration against
Mr. Summers became at length so acute
that he was Obliged to sail for England on
the 10th Of May. The event has aroused
strong feeling among the natives against
foreigners. On the day following the sum-
mers incident the students Of the American
Mission schools were playing at baseball,
when they were set upon by a large party
of natives. The scholars were roughly han
died, and the head teacher, the Rev. I'M
brey, was severely beaten. The police
looked on without making the slightest at
tempt to Interfere, and foreigners are very
apprehensiye as to what may be the out
come Of this growing hostility.
