| LONDON, Oct 10.-To-morrow Is looked for
ward to with fear and trembling among the
more peaceable residents of Dublin Never
in the present century since the ill-fated
effort of Emmett and his associates to stir up
q revolution has there been such feeling of
intense unrest and apprehension in the chief
city of Ireland The promise of the authori-
ties that they are able to maintain the peace
has but little reassuring influence on those
who know how Parnell was worshipsd in
Dublin and the strength of the hatred
against the men who are regarded as his muir
derers.
If the Healyites attempt TO take part in
Sundays demonstration not and perhaps
bloodshed is certain. Even if they do not Il
is unlikely that the multitude of mourners
will be satisfied short Of some protest against
the enemies OF their hero. To the credit of
the leading Parnelites be 1t said that they
are as anxious as any TO prevent violence from
obtaining sway. Mr. Redmond has sent a
message to Dublin earnestly urging all the
friends Of Parnell to best prove their respect
and love for the dead by making their demon
stration as peaceable as it will be imposing.
and to give their enemies no chance to say
that the friends of PANEL were the foes Of
order. These admOnltions, however, fall on
many ears that seem deaf 10 all but the gospel
of revenge.
Already the delegations are throngng into
Dublin from all parts of Ireland, and 1t IS
feared that even tonight may not pass with
out the anger of the Psrneites finding
expression i'll that city. An extra force
of police has been on duty during the day.
and all the men not required on the streets
are ordered 10 be ready IN barracks tonight
to answer any call that may be made for their
services.
THE RIOTS IN CHINA.
The telegrams from China in regard TO the
proceedings at Pekin in connection with the
snti-foreign riots in that country give what is
a comparatively colorless representation of
what actually took place between the Chinese
ministers and tho foreign representa-
tives The demands of the British
Minister were especially categorical and per-
emptory. as the two Europeans killed were
British subjects, and it is no wonder that the
panic-stricken Chinese officials in Pekin
should telegraph instructions to their Minister
in London to urge Lord Salisbury TO instruct
Sir John Walsham not to put such violent
pressure upon them. as it only impeded them
in taking steps for protecting foreigners. Ii
is now learned that Sir John Walsham put
some very searching and vital questions. He
wanted to know why tie stronger
edict Of the Emperor against attacks on
foreigners had not been promulgated through
out tho empire by telegraph in place
answer to this was that there is no precedent
for dispatching an imperial edict by tele-
graph. and with this the British Minister is
naturally not satisfied. He also inquired why
the magistrate at Wuhu, who did his best to
protect the Europeans. was disgraded, while
the other magistrates. who did nothing, were
not punished, and, finally. he wanted to know
when those guilty of the murders at Wusuch,
were going to be punished.
MIGHT CAUSE ANARCHY.
At a time when an appeal is being addressed
to England to deal gently with the Central
Government of China because. while it is
perfectly honest 1t is weak. and vigorous
action on the part of the European powers
might overthrow the Manchu dynasty aud
bring China 10 anarchy this IS the argument
of the Chinese Low against q demonstration
the British Foreign Office remembers that the
categorical demands OF the British Minister
who Is on the spot do not speak much for
his trust in tie goodwill OF honesty of the
Chinese Government in this matter. They
use the telegraph quickly enough 70 appeal
10 Lord Salisbury against his minister pres
sure. but they could not send by telegraph
the imperial ediet which was 10 stop burniDgs,
outrages and murders OF Europeans. This IS
the view entertained IN well-nfOrmed quar-
ters in London and it IS thought that if the
powers will do their duty and protect their
subjects in China, the Manchu dynasty will

foreign feeling Of China, should have
one or more Of It's chief toans opened TO for
eign trade. and this finds considerable favor
in official circles.
STANLEY AND THE CONGO FREE STATE.
The kilograms with reference 70 the gov
ernorshp OF the Congo Free State and Nr.
Henry VI. Stanley are founded on a misap-
prehension of the real facts OF the case. These
facts are very simple. but have not apparently
become generally known either in Brussels
OF in Berlin. When Mr. Stanley retired
from his position as Governor of
tho Free State King Leopold was anxious
10 retain some hold on Mr. Stanley of
whose organizing powers the King has the
very highest opinion. lie therefore proposed |
10 Mr.. Stanley an arrangement by which he
should retain the first cal on Alr. Stsnleys
services in Africa the consideration being a
retaining fee. which it Las been learned
on excellent authority was thousand
pounds per annum. The existence
of such an arrangement is expressly
stated by Mr.. Stanley himself III his
account of the rescue of Emin Pasha and it
is a matter OF public notoriety that the Congo |
route was chosen IN Difference TO the express
wishes OF King Leopold, who stated that if |
any other route was selected he would not
feel himself at liberty TO release |
Mr. Stanley from the prior claim
which be had 70 the explorers SER
vices. This arrangement between the King !
and Stanley was. however for limited |
period. The limit of time during which il |
holds good IS on the point of expiring. Ii is |
this circumstance which has given rise TO the |
rumors associAting Mr.. Stanley's name with |
the governors ship of the iree State. As a |
matter Of fact, King Leopold would gladly see |
