TROUBLE IN KOREA.
From Korea there are indications Of
serious trouble, arising from an anti

sionary element there as I'm China,

FOREIGNERS ~ PEKIN.
There are no means for estimating the
number OF foreigners in 1len Tsin and
Pekin except by approximation. Ac-
cording 10 the latest Chinese directories
issued by the Hong Kong press last
year there were upon the Tien Tsln
list some six hundred and seventy-fye
names Of European males. a con-
sentative estimate OF women and chill
dren would make the total foreign pop
ulauon about two thousand The nor
NAL estimate Of Pekin on the same basis
would De about one-half OF that num-
Der. but Il Is 20 be remarked that on the
approach OF the troubles the influx Of
missionaries and their families fleeing
from the surrounding districts must
have largely increased the foreign con-
tingent. OF the number Of Japanese in
the two cities there are no means OF
making any intelligent estimate.
Fears are entertained IN Korea lest
the pernicious Boxer fever may spread
there and add 20 the complication OF
the situation.
