General debate on the anti-anarchy

officials familiar with the Chinese
situation are apprehensive about
recent events in the Celestial empire.
American diplomats fear that events
are hurrylng toward a situation
which may become as serious as that
OF 1900. The news of the new Box
er uprisings which have been brought
by steamer to Victoria since the lst
of June. followed by the cable mes.
sage from Robert NJ. McWade, con.
suit at Canton announcing that there
had been fighting between the rebels
r1d the Chinese troops along the Ton
kin frontier. have tended to increase
uneasiness. 1t is recalled that the
Boxer uprising of 1900 began In ru-
mors which no one unerstood, sim
liar to those that are now coming
from China. Consul McWade said
Marshal Su had captured Kwang.Nan,
a prefecture on the Yun-Nan frontier.
and that the rebels had fed to the
hills northwest of Manning. Mail
advices indicate a Boxer uprising In
Southwest Chill, where 80 Chinese
officials collecting taxes were killed.
and French, Belgian and native mis-
sionares were put to the sword
There was also movement in the
provinces of Honan and Shantung
said to have for its objective Peking.
1t is significant that these troubles are
within French and GGerman spheres
Of influence. Whether these upris-
ings are really being encouraged by
the French occupants of Tonkin and
the Germans in Shantung. to give a
pretext for foreign intervention, or
whether they have their inception in
a great national feeling of unrest. Of
ficials at Washington do not pretent
to say. The people of China are al.
ready groaning beneath taxation,
which probably they will be unable to
pay. The depreciation in the price
of silver and the insistence of the
European powers that China meet her
obligations in gold will cause an in
crease of the indemnity to be paid by
China of nearly $70,0O00O0.

a school where the practice as well
as the theory of farming could be
taught. Prof. George T. Powell,
recognized authority on scientific
agriculture. undertook the organiza

ladies and gentlemen agreed to finance
the project. The original school es-
lishment was at Briar Cliff manor.

have demonstrated, think, beyond a
