will be confined TO the north; that the
allies will reach Pekin after a few hard
fights to find that there is no government
there that can be held responsible for
what has occurred. 1t will be far cry

I'VE have got to a point now when We
talk openly Of the probability of trouble
in Shanghai similar to the outbreaks in

1T is the local situation rather than the
expectation that those who have instigated
trouble in Shantung and farther north
will stir up trouble here that has given
life to the defence movement. Business

sequence most of the native laborers, bam

A Panic in Business.

"a financial crisis approaching panic
in its nature prevails among the native
banking and mercantile men. They will ac-
cept nothing but silver and want to pay
nothing but paper. Meanwhile the ma
tives, acting upon the belief that the war
ships will lombard the settlement, are
leaving here in shoals It is ridiculous to
suppose that foreign ships would lombard
a place where foreign capital is so largely
invested, but this reasoning does not ap-
peal 20 the ChinSman. and, retorting that
Shanghai will be burned just as Tientsin
was, he is going south il he can raise the
exorbitant prices charged for passage, OF
even, il very much scared. taking to the
hills far inland. But the very poor cannot
get away. and remain to go hungry and
make trouble, while the bad characters
will stay in the hope that there will be
chance to stir up at least a small riot in
which there would be chances to loot.
1.-THE excitement among the natives
caused by the arrival of SO many warships
in the river and the reports OF the coming
of others, and even of the possible landing
of troops. has led many Of us to doubt the
wisdom OF these steps. Americans stand
by the British in calling for all the pro-
lection that can be given. but French mer-
chants and some Germans are protesting

strongest protests against a show Of for

The cIty,s Fortincntions.

The CIty's FOrtificntions.
Military men who have considered the
problem of the defence OF Shanghai have
stated that It is practically indefensible.
The settlement is reached from the ocean
by ascending the estuary of the great
Yangtse and entering the Woosung River.
which flows into the Yangtse on the right
bank Ten miles up this tributary is the
city. built in the centre of low-lying
plain that would be a swamp il II were
not drained by artificial creeks. There
are no military defences. The only OBJ
stacles to an attack are the small creeks
separating the various concessions; these.
however. are shallow and narrow and are
crossed by bridges at many points. In
case of a general attack flight TO ships in
the harbor would be the first thought. but
only a few, probably not all the women
and children. could be protected by twice
the number OF ships that are likely to be
here In a flight landward the chances
would be all against the fugitves.
Below the city. on the north bank of
the Woosung River. near its junction with
the YaEgtse, are the Woosung forts, arm
ed with modern guns, We have always
supposed that these guns would be SO
badly handled that they could not sue

BIZ warships: but recent events have tes-
tilted that the Chinamau is not 50 poor
gunner as we have imagined. In any
case. it would take some time to reduce
these forts. and meanwhile the fugitives
would find themselves between two fires.
