TROUBLE IN CHINA.

ow it is China that is threatened with
civil strife. The government acknowl-
edgment of impotency to resist the de-
mands of other powers, helpless to
maintain peace and protect property,
has given birth to many anti-dynasuc
secret societies. TIN ursound financial
system and the increased exactions
necessary to neutralize the drain on
provincial resources towards the pay
ment Of interest on indemnity loans
have caused a dangerous spirit to per-
meate throughout the country. Copper
coins have appreciated enormously in
value with the depreciation of silver,
and the students are demanding that
another basis of value be established.
Many picked scholars of the empire
will refuse to take the highest examin-
alton and accept diploma from the
government, claiming that it is an
empty honor. They announce that they
will learn some foreign language and
obtain employment from some western
government which has established it
self on Chinese soil. Judging from re-
ports, the FloweTy Kingdom is honey
combed with plots. A spark only is
needed to start a cOndagration that
Will consume the dynasty and revolu-
tionize the government.
