Greater Boxer Rising Expected.

Captain Z. G. Lockhart. who was
sent from London to take the place of
DIR. Morrison, correspondent of The
Times at Picking when it was reported
that he was murdered with other
Europeans, arrived at Vancouver from
the orient the other day, says the New
York Herald. In an Interview he said:
sit is generally considered by the lead
ers of the allied forces that the trouble
with the Boxers is far from being over;
in fact, has only just begun. Father
Goette and myself just came from
Si-Ngan-Fu. the new capital. Thou
sands of Chinese, some fairly well
armed, are raIlying around the empress
dowager, in readiness for the greater
Boxer movement that think is certain
to come next spring. The allied forces
are waiting. and their definite plans
are few. The intention certainly is to
get hold of the young emperor an
establish his authority. They will
never catch the empress dowager, nor
will they get Prince Tuan."
