THE HANKoW UPRISING.

Paris. August 27.-Official dispatches
from Shanghai explain that the Hankow
uprising was not due to the Boxers, but
was plot organized by the partisans of
Kang Yu Wei, the reformer, combined
with the secret society known as the "Ko
Lao Hui" an anti-foreign organization
who proposed to the Southern Viceroys
revolt against the Pekin Government.
The leaders OF the movement relied espe-
cially upon Chi Lung, Viceroy at
Han Kow for arms, ammunition and other
agents of destruction.
A proclamation written in English and
addressed to Europeans was seized. In
it the revolutionists declared themselves
opposed to the Manchu Dynasty, but ready
to uphold the present Emperor. They
expressed themselves as DESTROYS of
founding a constitutional government"
of protecting foreigners and Christians,
and of supporting the powers against
anti-foreign fanatics.
The immediate effect of the movement
has been to increase the peril of Euro
peans. Proof exists of disorder and pill
lage due to the same movement at widely
separated points. The headquarters OF
the conspiracy is Han Kow, from which
point it ramified into other provinces.
Several thousands of supporters of the
movement have received instructions to
demonstrate in the Central Valley of the
Yang Use Kiang, but the Viceroy has
sufficient force of regular troops to guar
antee the maintenance of order. Twelve
of the conspirators have been beheaded.

He Doesn't Like Red.
(Troy Examiner.)

The best thing we have heard Of the
last campaign is of a certain Republican
in Uwharrie township, who has formed
such distaste for red that he has torn
up all the red clothes his children mad,
killed his red rooster, cut down all his
corn that had red silks or red fodder;
in fact, red has the same effect upon
him it has upon Spanish bull.

THE PRESIDENT HAS NO AUTHORITY
Philadelphia Times.

If there are complications in China
which the President must conceal from
the country, they mean the issue of war
or peace; and he has no more right to
involve the country in war with China
than has the humblest citizen of the Re-
public. If serious emergency is confront
ing us in China, the President should
promptly summon Congress, the only war
making power of the nation to meet the
issue and decide by legitimate and law
full proceedings what should be our policy
in China.
