the Settlement with noticeable frequency, and settling here. At Shanghai it is reported there is a "continued feeling of anxiety;" anda gentleman who scorns the idea that the events of 1900 are likely to be repented rather gives himself away in the following passage: "So far as I can see and I stand in pretty close communication with Chinese of several provinces-while there is a more general agitation all over the country than ever before, it is so unlike the agitation preceding the Bozer trouble that there is not the boneandth part of a probability that it will have a similar result. Not every breeze is the forerunner of a typhoon.' He makes it quite clear

that there is a breeze of some sort blowing.

HoNovеo, FEBRUARY 18TH, 1906.

THERE has been a great deal of talk lately about America rushing troops to Mavila in expectation of trouble in China, and our telegram to-day probably has connection therewith. No one regarded the matter as anything more serious than a yellow news paper scare, until the American Governan took the trouble to deny that any extraordin ary movement of troops was contemplated. Upon this, naturally, the assumption was that there must be something in it." Assuming that there have been reasonablo cuses for this American nervousness which, by the way, is apparent at nearly all the Treaty Ports-what was their nature?. It might have been ouly a kind of "bluff,” to remind official China of the possible couse-

quecices of a continuation of the boycott but there are other circumstances which that theory cannot account for.

We may

say at once that there are apprehensious of another anti-foreigu rising ; and that the first alarums have come from the religions missions in the interior. A certain consulate

at Amoy, for instance, has been deluged lately with reports and inquiries from issionaries, asking if they are to be re- called, or, otherwise, if any stops are being
