The Antipathy to Foreigners.
The present disturbed condition of
China anent foreigners generally, and
missionaries in particular, has not been
equaled for many years past. Since the
destruction by fire of river steamer
some months ago, when the passengers
who escaped were treated with such in
human barbaIity, outbursts of the con-
stantly slumbeiing anti-foreign feeling
have been continuous. These exhibit
tions for the most part have taken place
at points more or less remote, but Chi
nese ulnbrage appears to have extended
to the center of the foreign residence
and interests. The following kilograms
which were received by Admiral Bel
KNAPP from Shanghai on the 9Th and 9th
inst. indicate the situation at that time:
Last Friday there was q riot at
Kinkainy. English and French gun
boats stopped it, Two men were killed
at Wuhu. Threatened trouble at Han
kowa, and the gunboat Porpoise pro-
are felt here. The foreign Ministers at
Pekin informed the Chinese government
that if foreigners are not projected they
will take vigorous action"
