TROUBLE IN CHINA IS SERIOUS,
Revolutionists Taking Advantage
OF Famine to Make COnverts---
World Powers Taking Notice.
TROUBLE IN CHINA.

Washington, March 24-From Shang-
hal adViceS received at the state de-
p2rtmcnt it appears that the ruling dy-
nasty in China is seriously alarmed
over the effect of the famine through
the country and the opportunity it pre-
seIlts to sedtionary societies to enlist
converts to their cause directed against
the government. The suffering of the
people is used as capital, it is said, in
that judicious assuaging Of want places
the persons giving assistance under OBJ
legations to the societies. The govern
ments inability to relieve suffering, it
is said. has been magnified and the
hardships Of the people attributed to
lack Of sympathy by the government
for the poor classes.
So great is the concern that diplomat
ic and consular officials in China have
been instructed to keep Washington
advised in regard TO the situation and
Of every turn taken. That the Chinese
government recognizes the danger is
shown by the fact that Viceroy Tuan
Fang of Yanking has memorati zed the
throne for $1,G00,0OO to purchase East
Indian rice to feed his people. Undoubt-
edly this step was taken to offset the
tionary societies as we'll as to relieve
tho immediate suffering. In taking his
action the vicerov predicted general
uprising in the famine stricken dis
trfcts unless prompt relief is provided,
hut he did not refer to the trouble that
ras been stirred Up by the anti-govern-
lacnt societies.
IN extra effort will be made in the
7 y ~
the movement to find relief for the Chi
nesc. Already large sums of money
have been collected and dispatched to
China to be used in ther purchase of
food and in the near future the trans
port Buford will sail from San Fran
cisco with ship load of provisions
given by Louis klopsch. editor of the
Christian Herald. A general movement
throughout the civilized world to aid
the suffers. it is believed, will enable
the Chinese government to strengthen
its hands and possibly suppress upris-
ing and riot For the protection of for
eieners in China, the United States and
European countries are prompted by
self, us well as humanitarian interests,
to come promptly TO the assistance Of
the Chinese empire.
Ihat any movement which threatens
the overthrow Of the present govern
mcnt in China gives alarm to the
United States and every European ma
ton which has interests and people in
China is not denied. The life Of every
white person in China is believed by Of
fcials of the state department to de-
pend upon the continuance Of the Chi
nese government as it stands, the Box-
cr uprising being cited as an instance
Of what might result if the present gov
ernment should be weakened.
