CHINA ON VERGE
OF REBELLION

Pekin, Dec. 4-The position of Yuan
Shih kai, who is the only member of the
government committed TO the maintc-
nance of the integrity of China's conces-
sion agreements with foreigners, was
yesterday one of dangerous isolation.
He has adopted a strong attitude
against the movement in favor of exer-
cising the rights of recovery and is
looking to foreign powers for support ana
safety. Nothing can be expected from
the government, as IL is unable to recede
from the concessions granted to English
men in Che-Kiang province on account Of
the pressure being exerted by Great
Britain.
1t is unable to coerce the people. who
are rapidly approaching a condition of
threatened rebellion.
The throne has been bombarded by me-
MORALS from all parts of the empire
which question the validity of all conces-
sions, and the rights of recovery
movement. especially in Che-Kiang prov
ince, is assuming the appearance Of a
warfare for state rights.

CONDUIT EXPLOSION

The explosion in the conduit in Took
wotton street, used by the telephone and
the electric lighting companies, yesterday
afternoon, seemed to have expended it's
greatest force at Gano and India streets,
where a hole 10 long and six feet deep
was torn in the street, and a manhole
cover was thrown a long distance sky
ward together with paving stones and
gravel
Manholes at Gano and Tockwotton and
on the latter street at Furnace street,
were hurled into the air and the streets
at these points torn up.
The explosion frightened passengers on
Bristol train outbound from Fox
Point. which was passing the manhols
just as the detonation occurred. Houses
in the vicinity were shaken and the
screams of scared women mingled with
the crash OF breaking glass and the
sounds OF other explosions in nearby
manholes.
Though the explosion damaged the un-
derground passages extensively. tho
wires were apparently unharmed. and
those of both companies were working
as usual last evening.
Residents in the vicinity said that there
had been a strong smell of gas aroung the
