We are getting alle lively up in the North the excilement with regard to the Emperor died now, and positively sensational. Scarcely has away, or at least subsided somewhat, than we are all fizzlag over about an attack on foreigners a Feklog. At lost the exilement is not so much that, as it is not an unknowa thing for ioreigners to be roughly handled even in the Celestial Capital, but it is the fact that all the L-gattona have deemed it expedient to send for guards, and at the present moment,

PROCLAMATION HAS JUST APPEARKO. "The object of missionaries la preaching their loreign decline is to fool the people, and destroy the peaceful and harmorloge relations of the people. This has been proved by the introduc- in of aplam which we owe to foreigners, and which has ruined the lives and homes of so many thousands. The foreigners have taken our money, kidnapped our children, defiled our women, barel our houses and stolen our landa; see them la possession of Shanghai, Formors, Klaochow, Wethalwel and Port Arthur!

A VERY BAD FIXLING IS ADROAD
The solution of the Jabilee Committee of 1h 26th April was arrived at after mature considera lan, and after a free expression of public opinion had been invited. There seems no reason why that reaolallon should be termed Unfortunate. It may cat meet sailely with Mr Omaby's approval, but whether it is unfortunate or not is a matter of opiaton, Mr. Ormsby's pie.I am told both is Peking and Tientsin, and decesser, Mr. Cooper, did not deem it unlortunate, vadious explanations are put forward for the late or he would have entered his opintan is opport. attack on foreigners. One is that it has been ten to ft at the time, being qulle free to do so gives out the Emperor was poisoned by a foreign had he been so disposed I had an interview doctor.

festival. This is the explanation favoured by the light-hearted section of our community who never see anything in these little lacidents.) A third, and I think a very reasonable explans tion, is that the Empress having seized and beheaded all the progressive men has thereby laitiated a general anil-foreign policy upon which the people can act indiscriminately, and this has fired the ignorant imagination of the people. Yet another version is that the outrage is la métallation for Kang Yn-wel having been risisted. in his flight. Whatever the reason, howeveE, there is good ground to fèse, that the people are ready for any kind of mischief, that trouble of some kind is brewing.
It will be culte within the recollection of the older resident in the Colony that the idea of a sea-level road round the south side of the Island by no means a new nue. An earnest allempt for the same object was made on the goth an niversary of her Majesty's sign and commoded a large amount of public soppart, but the ie was apparently not then ripe and the project was postponed.
When the auspicious event of Her Majesty's 60th Jubilee gave it meain a chance of being reopened, the scheme met with herrty and #pontamento support and 191 uses werd ffixed to the requisitan for the road in a very short space of time.

The scheme was put forward in competition wilb many others and received cordial and gear eral support resubing in the res lution of the 26th April. It was anders and at the time that the completion of the scheme fo its entirety would be a matter requiring some time. It was also known that the amodit of money lo baad would be Iosefficient to pay for the completed road, bet the deficiency was promised at the time by the then Governor Sle William Ro- blaron. The crux of the whole thing les In the idea of making Lea-level toad (svalis able for all in the most convenient locality, It is apparent that an improvement at Shau- kiwan, however desirable in itself, Is of Hitle advantage to the teeming population of the western part of the city who would bave to spend a realderable sum of money to get there at all, and it is only fair to remember that the large subscriptions received from the Chinese were for the road from Kennedy Town to Aberdron.

"The westhar this year being excepilo ally cold, out of consideration for the Empress Dowager i am postponing My rish to Tlantsia,

Let the officers take special pains to perfect the efficiency of the forces and keep them ready for service, and let Jong La be superintendent of the Board of War and the whole army of North Chinx be under bi control." This will necesitate. the useless expenditure of several millions tacis, as of course all of the orders filled will have to be paid for. The electric light plant for instance representa soma Tle 20,000, and carpets to the value of Tis 10,000 were ordered, besides furniture, the palace building etc. The palace will be finished and furnishad, but for what purpose it will be used I do not know,
