This proclamation, which had been posted in the city and surround ing country, added that "the gentry responsible for it had bound themselves to carry out its terms and that no authority should dare prevent them" More important than this, since there are no foreigners in the Kienning district to kill at the present moment, is the news that reached us, yesterday, namely that an influential Klenning man had arrived in Foochow city and was declaiming against foreigners, propagating all the stories of their gouging out children's eyes for medicine, etc and asking the people if they were going to put up with the stories may not be believed. and nothing may happen, but at any rate this man's fabrications are the talk at all the tea houses in the city, and this fact has created a certain feeling of uneasiness in many quarter It is satisfactory to know however that our Consuls are fully alive to the situation and no steps that we know of are being taken for our protection in case of trouble it may be nssumed that they do not view it as serious, Foochow Daily Echo, ma
