LIE nj Shanghai.

Shanghai is a live commercial city on
the direct line Of ocean travel and traffic,
It has no marked natural attractions; II
is full OF business and Is perhaps the livll-
est city In the empire Much good Chris
tian work is accomplished in Shanghai.
Several foreign nations have concessions
in this city. This Is particularly the case
with the English. Because Of this and the
boycott there was an antagonistic spirit
on the part of the Chinese against the
English and the Americans chiefly against
the English at this time.
I was in Shanghai Monday December 49,
1905, the day Of the riot Coming downtown
in the morning with the American secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian assooia-
ton, we were told that the stores were
closed and found most Of them closed. We
were also told that the market was looted
and cleaned out in about ten minutes by
riotous Chinese. While there were many
excited Chinese in the streets on our way,
we reached the Chinese association building
without molestation. Soon a report came
that a Chinaman had been shot in the
streets near our building. Then the excite
ment became intense and the town streets
were densely crowded TIL British marines
were landed and all available police were
put on duty 1t was soon reported that
many Cinnamon were wounded and killed
Several Europeans and Americans had
made Intellectual attempts to get to their
homes in the residence part os the city.
There were at that time the wives of four
or FIVE American secretaries downtown and
II was very desirable that they get to their
homes and children.

Canton Is one Of the largest, II not the

coolies form the principal mode of inter
urban transportation. The small streets
are generally cleaner than in other Chinese
cities and are paved with broad hagstones.
In company with an American missionary

very interesting
One of the peculiarities about Canton
that compels tho attention of foreigners
Is the multitude OF persons or families that
live In small boats for passengers or trafflo,
called sampans. These boats are almost
wholly controlled and propelled by women
and girls. 1t Is amazing how skilfully
they manage these boats and how bright
and cheerful the women and girls are on
their occupations. The whole family lives
In these boats, and with the exception Of
the men, who are possibly otherwise en-
ployed, they scarcely ever spend any time
away from these boats, day or night, for
the whole year. Many thousands Of por-
sons are so engaged. l am afraid TO

small carriage and, as we could not pass,
the people in the other one had to climb a

Several companies Of soldiers were camp
ing in tents on the roadside to protect the

present condition.
The church Of San Giuseppe had its roof
fall in, killing 200 people, who were in

killed, though a great many have been
hurt. They have two Red Cross hospital
tents, our wheels being stuck every few
moments. we got out OF the carriage and
scrambled up the cinders. One house had
the ashes and cinders up to the second
story and by climbing up another heap We
could see over it's roof
Going farther down what had once been

OF the enders on It and all the floors had

were warmed through lead pipes which
