lance anything the world has ever
seen. These people claim that tie
yellow peril is no longer e msre spec
tire, but IS now beginning to material
iza. It Is said that the Chcial cables
which have been received from French
consuls in China, as we'll as from the
governor Of French Ipd1 China, it is
evident that the present disturbances
in the Chinese empire are more than
a spontaneous outburst Of native hat
red against the whites. The impress
sions Is that the japanese through
their secret agents, Of whom they
have thcu:ands scattered In all parts
Of China, are nursing the Ill will OF
the lower classes OF the natives against
all foreigners. Thele is said to be
strcug evidence showing that the Chi
nese servant, who attempted to Kill
the s cretsry OF the French municipal
council at Shanghai while be was
asleep, had been melted to do so by q
Japanese agent.
OF late Iu nber Of japanese have
appeared in the French China colonies
ard are being watched very closely by
the authorities, as there is reason to
believe that their intentions are not
OF the best. Even to their ally, Great
Britain, the Japanese are false, and 1t
is said on very good authority that
the government at Toxic is erdeavor-
ing to make China deraad tie evac-
uation OF Wei-Hai- Wei by the British
in very near future. The reduc-
tion OF the legation guards at Peking
and the reduction Of the China squad
ron are being Eade the most Of by
the japanese agents, who tell the
Chinese that these are signs OF Euro
pean weakness, and who are readily
believed. These are the reports that
are being circulated In Paris and other
European capitals, and it is believed
oy many il Europe and In this coun.
try also that as soon as Catna get her
army and nsvy in the shape che
wants 1t that she will become very
aggressive and drive OUT all foreign
ers. It is certain that China Is organ
izing great army aud that it Is be-
ing dribled by japanese officers, who
nave been sent to China for the pur-
rose by their government.
DR.. Young J. Allen, a missionary to
China for nearly fifty years, with
hea6 a6quarters at Shanghai, in an inter-
view published in The Atlanta Jour-
nal recently comments upon this great,
blind movement OF the Mongolian
masses. There are four classes In
China,'' he says, the literary class,
which comprises the aristocracy;
she agriculturis;s, the artisans and
the merchants. The merchants are
the lowest, for they contribute no
labor-they are not producers. The
last three classes have become tired OF
being ruled by the literary class, and
they want a constitutional govern
ment They want a government OF
the Chinese for the Chinese. The Tar
tars rule the country. although there
are ouly II. 900. 600 Of them, against
400, 900. 600 Chinese. They were the
military corqusrors Of China, but,
enough, tie ccI qusrors adop-
ted the civilization OF the conquered.
Now, the Cnlrese, having become
want charge. They are
coming to realizs their manhood. The
1o~ager empress, realizing that mat
5ers are coming to crisis, has ap-
pointed commission divided into
three secuions, and headed by Prince
Tsal Tseh, to 90 to various countries
Ind investigate constitutional govern
nents. They will meet later In
Switzerland, and there formulate a
report to be submitted later u the
government.
