CHINESE DISLIKE RUSSIANS.

They Object to Museovite Visitors - Well
~ to Missionaries.
A Russian gentleman who went mp to
the Yung-low-tung tea districts to make
observations on the Chinese mode of
preparing tea and other matters con-
nected Herewith had a very narrow
escape from being stoned to death by
a native mob. In fact, it appears that
he was only saved from sharing the
fate Of the Sung-pu victims through
the commendable action of his native
boy and cook, who carried him in IN
unconscious state under = shower of
stones to the magistrates yamen,
which happened to be close by, and at
tended to his wounds. The Infatuated
mob tried to force the yamen doors.
but fortunately did not succeed, relief
in the shape of some native soldiers
having arrived in time. No provoca-
ton whatever preceded the attack, and
from what we learn of the gentle
mans disposition it is beyond doubt
that nothing could have happened
that could have given rise to bad feel
ing.
The only explanation, therefore, is
to be found in the fact that the gentle
man was employed by the Russian firm
who purchased . number of tea plants
last year. and the natives are afraid of
losing their means of livelihood. How
ever. this only partly explains the at
tack, for. while the firm had trouble
with their purchases in the Ningchow
districts, everything went smooth in .
friendly way in Yung-low-tung; so
that the people must have been put up
to it by some miscreant.
The matter is in the hands Of the
Russian consul, we are told, and We
feel sure will be taken up energetically
and without a repetition Of the blum
ders that have marked the Sung-pu at
fair a. one of the most detrimental to
the prestige of foreigners in China.
The attack proves beyond any doubt
that the anti-foreign movement is not
directed solely against missionaries
and not against Scandinavians only
but that. unless strong measures be
taken, we may without doubt expect te
hear of more such attacks ere long.
We are glad to record that the gentle
man has returned to HankOw and is do
ing well.-Shanghai Mercury.
