CHINA In A FERMENT
Alarming News from that Country Received
by the State Department
FAMINE GIVES PRETEN FOR AGITATION
Life Of the Present Dynasty is Believed 70
Be Endangered.
OFFICIALS APPRECIATE THE SITUATION
Making Strenuous Efforts to Relieve the
Famished People

Should General Uprising Occur Not

Foreigner in china Would

WASHINGTON, March 24.-From shang-
hal advices received at the state depart
ment it appears that the ruling sty IN
China is seriously alarmed o. feet
of the spread Of famine throuk Il a
try and the opportunity It on, ~
ditionary societies to enlist convert . y
cause directed against the goverl 4. =
The governments inability to relieve
fering, It Is said, has been magnihed a
the hardships Of the people are attributed
to lack of sympathy by the government
for the poor classes.
The information Indicates that a propa-
ganda has been organized to further the
circulation OF stories Of the charater out
lined and it is said that State department
officials fear that spread Of hysteria may
engender general uprising. II such should
be tho result there is danger that the gov
ernment might not be able to control the
situation. American and other foreign in
terests then would be jeopardized. So
great is the concern that diplomatic and
consular officials In China have been in
structed to keep Washington advised Of
every turn in the situation.
That the Chinese government recognizes
the danger is shown by the fact that Vice
roy Tuan Fang of Yanking has memoriaiized
the throne for 100000 to purchase East
Indian rice to feed his people Undoubtedly
this step was taken to offset the work Of
the seditionary societies as well as to re-
lleve the immediate suffering. In taking
this action the viceroy predicted a general
uprising In the famine stricken districts un-
less prompt relief is provided, but he did
not refer to the trouble that has been
stirred up by the anti-government societies,
An extra effort will be m7 de in the United
States to broaden the scope of the move
ment to find relief for the Chinese. Already
there has been large sums of money col
lected and dispatched to China to be used
in the purchase of food and in the near fu-
ture the transport Buford will sail from
San Francisco with shipload of provis-
ions given by Louis Klopsch, editor of the
Christian Herald. A general movement
throughout the civilized woffd--to aid the
sufferers, It is believed. will enable the Chi
nese government to strengthen fits hands
and possibly suppress uprising and riot.
That any movement threatening the over
throw OF the present dynasty in China gives
alarm TO the United States and every Euro
pean nation which has interests and people
in China is not denied. The life OF every
white person in China is believed by on
cials OF the state department to depend
upon the continuance OF the Chinese gov
ernment as II stands.
