AN OUTBREAK is EXPECTED
Anti.Foreign Feeling Among the Chi
nese S0ldiery
The King of Corea Has Chosen New Queen
and Assumed a High Sound
ing Title

LONDON, Oct. 28.-ln spite of the
statement made by the Graphic today,
| that an offic high in authority says
| the alarming dispatch of the Times from
Hongkong regarding important conces-
sions made ny China to Russia "bears no
resem blarce to the actual facts" the
news seems TO be confirmed today from
two sources. Mr.. G. L. Morrison, who
recently Travelled through China, write s
that as far back as August last the Ch j.
nese newspapers outlined scheme by
which China proposded to reward Ger
many, France and Russia for their inter-
vention against Japan. Germany, he
says. was to have concessions of land at
the treaty ports of Hankow and Tien
Tsin; France was to be granted certain
privileges in southeast China, and Russia
was to be allowed to extend her railway
system to Port Arthur.
The second ground for believing the
report may be correct is found in dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph from Wen
ma. published today, giving an outline of
an interview with we'll known Russian
statesman, who practically admits the
truth of the news telegraphed from
Hongkong to the Times.
Referring to the Ar mericans, the Rus
sian statesman is quoted as saying:
1.-The Americans are our friends in Eu-
rope. They are specially jealous in es-
pousing our cause when we need no out
siders' help. But in the far east they are
our enemies or rivals"
At the Russian embassy here, however.
the statement is made that there is abso
lutely no foundation for the announce.
ment made by the Times. 1t is asserted
by the Russian officials that no such
! treaty has been concluded between the
| governments OF Russia and China, ana it
| is further asserted by them that the
Russian government is not animated by
any anti-Englsh feeling in its policy in
connection with the far east.
The Times tom orrow will publish dis
patch from Hong Kong which says:
Speaking at a public banquet at Vladi-
vos took on September 9th, which was
given in his honor on the occasion of his
departure for Europe, Genral Doukhof-
sky, governor OF Eastern Siberia, reie r
ring to the new Manchuria concession,
strongly urged that the community be
not alarmed by it. for VIadivostock IN ust
remain the headquarters. though portion
of the fleet would be at Port Arthur. Tho
governor and port admiral of Vladivos-
took spoke in the same strain.
Three missions, with an escort OF 100
CossacKs each, started respectively from
Nertchinsk, Blagovestichensk and Nlkolsk
to explore and survey certain portions OF
the interior of Manchuria.
A Shanghai telegram states that five
Russian warships are inside and nine
outside of the habor OF Port Arthur.
An Odessa dispatch to the Times says
that another cruiser of ths Russian vol
unteer fleet has started with a contingent
of sailors, ammunition and war material
TO join the Russian fleet cruising near
Japan.
The Times says in an editorial this
morning: THE official denial of our
Hong Kong dispatch Is given in form
leaving no doubt that, at least as regards
the double approach to Port Arthur, our
correspondent at lien Tsin was mlsled.
Yet, If he erred. it was in good company,
the governor of Siberia having been un-
der the same Impression,
The Standard Conservative says in an
! editorial this morning: 81 Russia has got
her answer, and the intended treaty with
China is torn up before ii came into ex-
istence.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The news received
here from Hongkong that an outbreak
against foreigners is expected at Canton
seems to indicate that there has been
renewal OF the wide spread antl-ioreign
feeling. The British Consul at Hunkow,
it is known, was warned that an outbreak
would OCcut at Wucheng on Scpte M Der
18th. In view of this the Swedish and
American ladies left Wuchene and sought
shelter in the consulate at Hankow, and
later the children of the American Epis-
copal church were taken to place of
safety.
1t appears that the Chinese braves who
were ordered to dIsband after the war
objected to doing So, and are attacking
foreigners, although none OF the latter
were to be killed. The governor of
Wuoheng thought it best not to carry ont
the decree, and thus the outbreak was
| averted.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 2S.-The
! Nladivnstock correspondent of the Novoe
Vremya tele9rphs that Chinese secret
societies are showing marked activity and
that they are enjoying the support OF
many officials who are members. of these
organizations. The situation is rega rded
as being very critical.
According to q dispatch from Seoul
10 the Novoe Nremyu, the king of Corea
has chosen another queen and has as
sumed the title of emperor. 1t is also
stated that the heir apparent is being
sent as an envoy to America and England
with the object of getting him out of the
country ana preparing the way to the
throne for a prince who stands in higher
favor.
