ly care over his military students, recently as It seems that Chang Chih-tung, with father signed them themes in which they were to shew up the crines of a Shanghai Patriotic Society. The "Gazette" says the students wrote the essays but there was a wonderful lot of halderdash as the result, the students intentionally writing so as to defeat the Vice- roy's purpose. In this connexion the Viceroy telegraphed to Japan that of the Hupeh stud- ents sent to Japan to study, there were three against whom he had evidence of rebellious designs against their country. The Japanese Minister replied that these three were very clever and upright and he considered the evidence was baseless. He therefore refused to surrender them into the hand of the Viceroy, The Viceroy also sent a telegram to the Viceroy of Canton, asking him him to arrest three chief men who were wanted on a charge of sedition. But Tho Mu wrote a soothing reply, and at the same time wrote a letter to the Chinese Consul at Singapore, asking him to exhort those men to repentance. They are supposed to be ip ...ohiding there.
