ding to the City OF Rio de Janeiro,
which arrived from Hong Kong
Monday evening, the spirit of dis
content is still rampant in China.
While very few actual outrages have
occurred since the arrival of the last
China steamer, the people in Shang-
hal expect an outbreak daily. "The
Chinese are at war among them

takes place. They all bate Eu-
