But all this the Cousell cannot rectify. It is too busy passing Ordinances, to give other ordinances the same power as if they had come into force on some day they didn't; and making it penal to run away with the forts, or make faces at them; and preventing abuses connected with the erection of public latrines (though nothing is said as to their non-erection); and such great and burning questions are occupying the Council's time.

It is a noticeable thing that in these riots go foreign life has been seriously in danger so far, because these outbreaks are not ultimately directed against foreigners. Their object is the embroilment of the government with foreigners, as a step towards the overthrow of the govern ment and the dynasty. Men who know Hankow and the temper of the people of the three cities, Hankow, Hanyang, and Wuchang, were grievously apprehensive that there would be a serlous riot when the Czarevitch was there but Chang Chih-tung is an able and determined man, and he was on his mettle; and although he is not personally fond of foreigners and very few high officials are, he was determined that there should be no trouble.
