SAY IL Is 4 TRAITOR.
Chinese Anarchists Post PIacards
Calling for His Death.

Some ado has been ocCasioned in China
town during & the past few days ON account
of the appearance on various dead walls
OF posters which set forth that ViCeruy
Ii Hung Chang should not be permitted
To complete his present tour OF the world
alive.
These posters purport to be fathered 10y
a revolutionary party recently organized
in China and having for its object the over
throw of the present Chinese dynasty.
Translated, they announce that Ii Hung
Chang is q traitor to the country; that
ae exercises q sort Of hypnotic spell over
the emperor and that he practically runs
the government for the benefit OF his
pocket. Posters OF u rcbeliioGs character
are frequently seen In Chinatown, and the
only distin gushing features Of those which
now ornam ent the dead walls are that they
call attention to the yiceroy's late
trip across the continent and es.ayed 70 in.

From what can be learned there are
sna rciists among the Chinese as well as
other races and there Is as least enc society
Of them In this city. To them is attrib
utcd the printing and distribUtion or the
