PANIC IN CANTON,

1424

It was well known that there wore rumours abroad everywhere that on the eighth day of the month, the reformers were going to make another attempt to take the city of Cantos, and, if opposed, massacre the officials. The people of the city were, therefore, greatly excited on that day. To make matters worse, towards evening there was the appearance of a coming storm. As the Chinese put it, "Black clouds rose from the four quarters of the heavens and filled the sky, so that there was an almost supernatural darkness." Then the, main fell in torrents, and there was no electric light in the city. The shopkeepers hastened to put up their shutters und the place was almost doseried. But the real panic happened somewhat earlier in the day.

It appears from the report before us, that a scavenger bad been ordered to enter one of the dmins of the city and when he bad finished his work, ho emerged from the dark hole." Some people, who did no know what he had been doing, saw hima emerging, and immediately misod the cry that the revolutionists were entering the city through the alrains This ery was taken up by those near by, and so the rumour went through street after street. Su terrifying was it, that several companies of soldiers were marched forth to the place from which the rebels were said to be emerging. Of course, when they reached the place there was nothing to be soen. Then there was naturally more clamour, and the soldiers displayed considerable mage because they had been fooled out on such a wild-goose chase.

The whole episodo akows that the nerves of the Cantonese are just now somewhat highly strung, and thero is little wonder that -they are leaving Carton in such numbers, and soeking the quiet of Hongkong, where at least they are free from these alarming rumours. It would be as woll for the Government to seek to calm the nerves of the people before they take any further steps for the safety of the city.

It wounds very astrading, says the L. and C. Express, when the statement is inado, but the fact appears to be correct, that the value of the imports of rubbor into Great Britain last year amounted to £28,000,000, or ous-tenth part of the total ralus of the country's imports of raw materials other than food, drink or tobacco.
