CHINESE UNREST.
Largely Revolutionary Rather than
nti-ForelgR.

Picking. Sept. 3o.-Foreigners lately have been
in the southern part OF Chilli Province and IN
Shan-Tung and Human provinces. They were
informed at the offices OF the Foreign Board that
the agitation is largely revolutionary and anti
dynastic, thus differing from the Boxer move
ment of 1900, which chiefly anti-forelsn
Ministers Of the powers here have approached
the Foreign Board with the view of inducing the
officials to take effective measures. The board
replied that strict orders had been given 10
Yuan Shi Kai. Viceroy of Chilli and COM
rnander In chief Of the Chinese forces, to do his
utmost 70 suppress the revolutionary movement
and added that no serious trouble was antiei-
pated. The Foreign Board, naturally. minimizes
the symptoms, which certainly are widespread
but there seems ground TO believe that the char
acter of the movement Is different from that Of
the Boxers Of 1900
The native papers of Picking and elsewhere
are utilizing the coolie question as means Of
agitation Pamphlets and handbills are also dis
tributed complaining of the alleged cruelties
which the coolies in the Trarsyaai are subjected
to- The Chinese government apparently has not
attempted to counteract or check these mis-
chfeyous statements. 1t is difficult TO ascertain
the precise object Of the agitation, put tne 1or-
eigners regard the situation as being stlnctiy
dsquieting. -
II is learned that the dispatch Of Tang Shao
XII the Taotai of Tien-Tsin. to Tibet is connect
ed with the British-Tibetan treaty recently
signed at Lhasa which IN some respects is as
tasteful to China. His mission, however, - also
connected with other matters.
