To show, what,harts may be done by the publication of idle rumours may be illustrated by the following. Some days. ago the news that the French intended to send 20,000 mer to be quartered at Nam Ling in Kwong Sai found its way into the paper There was much excitement. especially among the student class, and the Viceroy wired to the Governor of Kwong Sai to find out if there were any truth in these repurta. As may be ex- pected, noswar was received that there was not a shadow of truth in the rumour, However, circulars calling attention to the supposed dangers that threaten Chiris from the foreigners have been issued and they call upon the schools to at once institute a training 'n müitary drill among the students in order that the country may j be defended.
