1T IS REPORTED High chinese
OFFICIALS FEAR REVOLUTION. ,
Forbidden City Now In Hands Of Rlfie-
men-Paekaoes Of Dynamite Found

--o-- SAA~iolo al especially Su6Tucu
The police, who have hitherto carried
batons, are now armed with rifles. All
the oficials that are accessible either
refuse any Information or profess ig-
norance of the reasons for the precau-
lions that have been taken, and as a
result many rumors are afloat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
Of the dowager empress over the pre-
valence Of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic few
days ago telegraphed the government
warning it against several revolution
airy students who were departing from
Japan for China. Two packages Of
dynamite have been found in the
street. outside Of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. A report finding credence is
that quarrel Is afoot within the pal
ace between the partizals of the EN-.
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne,
but 1t Is not confirmed.
Only precautionary"
All information obtainable indicates
that the military measures at the pal.
ace were only precautionary, and were
taken because of the widely circulated
runners that there would be trouble
here Saturday. The finding Of the
packages of dynamite outside the pal.
ace gates, which is somewhat mysteri.
Gus. probably caused uneasiness, as
the court had been nervous since the
outrage in the Pekin railway station
on September "a of last year, when q
missile was exploded inside private
car on the track carrying one Of the
four missions ordered abroad to study
foreign political methods. killing four
persons and wounding 20 others.
The reports Of trouble within the
palace can not be corroborated, but
they probably are founded on gossip
for which Pekin is always a hotbed, OF
are based on the strengthening Of the
palace guards.
The city was never quieter. There
has not been the slightest sign d
feeling shown against foreigners, mol
have the foreigners here any appre
tensions. Several parties from the
foreign legations are taking advan
tage of the mild weather to make long
excursions into the country.
The kilograms describing the mill
tary preparations Of the American gov
eminent for trouble in China have
been widely published in the Chinese
newspapers and are considered as de-
cidedly unfriendly.
