Had the representations of Mr.. Rockhill
been needed the officials are confident
that the formidable renellion which has
now broken out under the lead of
General Tung Flu Sian, in Shen 81
Province never would nave occurred. 1t
is the hope of the officials here that
Tung Flu Slams movements will stimu-
late the tagging ministers at Pekin to
final actiont If they do not; if the court
is obliged to flee from Sian Flu and the
great Yang Use viceroyS are overpower-
ed by General Tung Fu Sian, as seems
entirely probable, then all China will
be plunged into anarchy, in the esti-
mate of the officials here.
