kinds have increased on an average Of
about % per cent, and from the great

The whole country has good cause

tracing to their schools a very generous
following of Chinese youth. The attack
WIS made in broad daylight, and the build

the missionaries, tried to dissuadc the
rioters from acts of violence toward the
native converts there was an instant at

tors of the deed were at once put on foot.
A German war ship was dispatched to the
Yellow Sea and Nov. 90 the admiral in
command landed a force of marines on
the shore of the bay. which was COM

Russia May Interfere.
1t is said that the Chinese ministers
have appealed for support to Russia, and
that the car has ;ntimuted that a con-

regarded as an act Of hostility to the
Russian nation and damaging to Russian
interests.
