Murder of Foreigners.
Victoria. B. c., Jan. 30.-According
to advices received from north China.
fears are being entertained that China
is planning another outburst similar
to that of 1901.
The North China Daily News says:
1T has been learned on good author
Ity that Yung Lu, the real ruler of
China and the man who is reported
to be responsible for the murder of
Professor Hubert James of the Pc
king university, will centralize the
command of the military forces of the
empire under himself and his hench-
men, Yung Shat Kai and Tung Fuh
Slang"
The plot for the simultaneous mur-
der of foreigners in 1900 failed, owing
to the unwillingness of many viceroys
and governors to carry out the order
telegraphed to them. On the next
occasion the order is to be sent to
the military officers, whose implicit
obedience can be relied upon

very large number of the articles pro-
duced pass through the hands OF several

Queer and those of the consumer. The
estimate is based upon the figures OF the

manufactures in 1900 at SI3.ooo.Ooo,ooo;
those of agriculture at nearly S4,ooo.coo,-
