Tho Yellow Peril.

who are in q position TO know, that
there is . storm brewing in the Far
East, which will break out sooner: OF
later, and which will surpass In VIC
lence anything the world has ever
seen. These people claim that the
yellow peril is no longer q mere spec
tire, but is now beginning to material
ize. It is said that the official cables
which have been received from French
consuls In China, as well as from the
governor of French lido. China, it is
evident that the present disturbar ces
In the Chinese empire are more than
a spontaneous outburst of native hat
red against the whites. The impres-
sions is that the Japanese through
their secret agents, Of whom they
have thcusands scattered In all parts
Of China, are nursing the I'll will of
the lower classes of the natives against
all foreigners. There is said to be
strong evidence showing that the Ch:-
nese servant, who attempted TO kill
the secretary of the French municipal
council at Shanghai while he was
asleep, had been melted to do so by a
Japanese agent.
OF late q ru nber Of Japanese have
appeared in the French China colonies
and 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 it
is said On very good authority that
the government at Toxic is endeaVor-
ing to r AXE China demand the evac-
ustion of Wei-Hai-Wei by the British
In q very near future. The reduc-
tion of the legation guards at Pek!ng
and the reduction Of the China squad
ron are being made 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 1t Is believed
by many in Europe and inthis coun.
try also that as soon as China get her
army and navy In the Shape she
wants 1t that SIZE will become very
aggressive and drive out all foreign
srs. It is certain that China Is organ.
lzing a great army and that it Is be.
Ing dribled by Japanese officers, who
have been sent to China for the pur,
rose by their government.
DR.. Young J. Allen, missionary to
China for nearly fifty years, with
headquarters at Shanghai, In sn inter
view published In The Atlanta Jour.
nal recently comments upon this great,
blind movement Of the Mongolian
masses. There are four classes IN
he says, "the literary class,
which comprises the aristocracy;
the agriculturists, the artisans and
the merchants. The merchants are
the lowest, for they contribute> no
labor-they are not producers. The
last three classes have bt come tired OF
being ruled by the literary class, and
they want constitutional govern
ment. They want q government OF
the Chinese for the Chinese. The Tar
5ars rule the country, although there
are ouly $4,000, 900 Of them, against
400, 900, 600 Chinese. They were the
military cor querors Of China, but,
strangely enough, the conquerors adop
ted the civilization Of the conquered.
Now, the Chinese, having become
want a change. They are
coming to realize their manhood. The
lowager empress, realizing that mat.
ters are coming to q crisls, has sp-
pointed 8 commission divided into
three sections, and headed by Prince
Tsal Tseh, to 20 to various countries
Ind investigate constitutional govern
nents. They will meet later In
zi,zerlsnd, land there formulate Q
report to be submitted later to the
government"
