AFFAIRS IN CHINA.
Reform Advocates Terrorizsd by an Old Policy of Repression.

| b
 Picking. July 29.-The Chinese who are advocating government reforms have been terrorized by the re-adoption of the old policy of repression as instanced by the recent arrest at Shanghai of Chinese editors on charges of sedition. These arrests are interpreted here as indicating that the extreme conserva- lives are in the ascendancy and that the government has determined to sup press the comparative freedom of saeech which has prevailed since the upheaval of 1900 The names of forty residents of Pekin. who are accused of liberal tendencies. were presented to the dowager empress to-day by the re- actionary officials. who recommended that they be severely punished. Those accused are considered guilty of only what in enlightened countries would be termined legitimate criticism of the government. This is said also to be true of native journalists imprisoned at Shanghai, except in the case of two of them who suggested the assassina- tion of the Manchu rulers as remedy for China's troubles. All foreigners and progressive Chinese are deeply interest ed in the decisions which the ministers. will make on the question Of turning over the native editors arrested at Shanghai to Chinese Jurisdiction and they express the hope that technicalities concerning the jurisdiction of the mixed court will be ignored, if necessary, and that the ministers will refuse. on the ground of humanity, to deter prisoners to the Chinese for probable torture and execution. as happened in the case of Chinese spies who were turned over to the Chinese officials at Shanghai during the Japanese war.
 Chang Chi Tung, viceroy of Nankin, is credited with the leadership of the reactionary policy, advising such a course to the empress dowager, who, willingly acquiesced. Prince Ching is reported to favor tendency.
 At the examinations recently held at Pekin for the selection of officials many of the candidates departed from the usual custom of writing merely scholar- ly essays and submitted papers favor ing improvements in the government.
