ABORTIVE RIOT AT
WEIHAIWEI.
The following private letter, dated Webajwei the 26th of March, has been kindly placed at our disposal;--
We had a vary funny show here to-day, which I would not have missed for a lot. · 17'seems that the country round here is rather unsettled, and the Chinese don't care to pay our taxes and so on. They are said to be steadily arming and preparing to resist our people and, even like the Boers, to drive us into the sea. Well, word came that there was to be a big meeting of malcontents at a village home 8 miles from hers about noon to-day. The utmost secresy was preserved as to our plans, and at the usual time we fell in, served out-ic rounds of ball ammunition, to each man, and aff we went about 30 strong, not including, of course, Bome 70 or so of the last recruits. We arrived at the place fight in time and found from 655 to 7eo of all sorts there. They took but little interest in our arrival as far as could see, and made no attempt either to bol or to resist, ist stood and looked an while demaneshrough them and quietly ire endowed round them. We had — heard iswd a considerable number
cffireanis among them, so tifat as we approach "ed" we did not know when they might open fire. As soon as ou 420 had surrounded their 700 or so. the talkeē-talked started up. One of the leaders told the Colonel that if he got off his horse he would then talk to him. Needless to say the Colonel remained mounted! Three of the ringleaders, who are large land-owners near about, were arrested and then we set about disarming the mob. At time it looked as

From their behaviour to-day, I have personally, every confidence that they would have played the game even the point
of firing on the mob, but I am glad this was not necessary, for I should have felt real mean to have had to order a slaughter of the silly people with their takes, their hocs, and their old gas pipes. Had they put up a bit of fight it would, of course, Inve been different, and we should all have liked to share in the fun.--N. C. D. News.
AN APOLOGIA FOR KANG YU- WEI.
(Contributed.)
· In the Timer issue of the 17th of January there is printed an article from their corres- pondent at Paris on the subject of Mahmud Pasha. In reading over the article, the thought struck the writer that, the condition and envi- ronments of Mahmud Pasha and Kang Yü-wei, the Chinese refonner, were so similar, that were the latter able to express himself in a European tungite, he would probably make his apología. to the world as follows:
"Yes, I fed my country and my flight is proof ample of the crisis through which mys country is passing, for the whole nation-I am speaking of those who are not fattening them- selves at its expense by the blind favour of the, Mistress-is politically captive. The Empress Dowager keeps everybody in political feiters, from the Emperor Kuang Hsl to the meanest coolie in Canton or Shanghai. Those officials and scholars who have acquired ineasure of Western leaming and advocate the cause of Reform she either executes, imprisons, or exiles to, the remotest frontier. She keeps her hands on Kuang Isä, the legitimate Sovereign who has lost all his liberties.
"She persecutes any and every one who dares offer opinion of advice and she even surreptiously encourages her fanatical subjects to acts of groes violence and bloodshed against foreigners and native Christians, Those Gen- erals who would and could put down anarchy and protect foreigners she holds in leash. Whatever she has not directly under her hand frightens her, and whatever she does have in hand appears to her thenacing at the slightest,
siga of dividual will on its part, or of a
thought not her own (vide Jung Lu). She is truly the Witch of Terror and this fact haunis
her even as it does others..
But I shall not rest. Our nation is gentle, sober, patient, industrious-nat many races equal, and poor surpass it in these qualities. its defects are due to its injudicinus training, but it is capable of immeasurable improve- ments. It is a splendid dock, led or rather misled by incompetent and unworthy shepherds.
So long as the present chaos reigns, Europe, will be able to obtain what she wants at the hands of the imbecile Government at Peking. She will, therefore, maintain the spectator-like authude, waiting for the consummation of the inevitible cataclysm and then chim her share | of the spoil. This is especially true of Russin and France, and in a less degree of Germany, whose earth hunger must be satisfied.-N. C. D. News.
