In spite Of the pesslrllsts who predict
cd all sorts OF rioting and bloodshed, the
celebration OF tho frst anniversary; OF the
revolution passed off with pcrfect cuIe.-
ness.
The president reviewed GONE $4,000

were rather In trouble with tho goose
step. but tho majority marched splendid-
~. and. In their new European uniforms,

Standing on red dajs. President Yuan

of the trouble OF 1900 is practically i'm
possible.
a strong loopholed wall has been built
completely enclosing the legations, with
iron gates which can be closed aoross the
roads
Outside this Is clear space Of ground
all round, upon which nothing may bs
built. Thus an attack by a mob could ba
easily repulged, unless they were armed
with big guns

the powers that the legation guards are
no longer necessary,
BY no means have all the queues dis
appeared. At rough estimate. only 10

have been many cases of soldiers seisinE

In the Chinese city the celebrations
aro taking many forms, There are plat
forms from which patriotic speeches are
being made and a free theater In which
