After the startling riots against foreigners in 1891, I attemptedán examination of the sources of the anti-foreign disturbances in China, for Iublication in the c lumns of the North-China Daily News, during the latter months of 1892 and the early months of 1893. This discussion afterwards appeared in pamphlet form. I have been recommended to publish a supplement th that discussion, asaspecial study of the sources of the upheaval of 1900 Dr. Arthur H. Smith, in the first volume of China in Convulsion, gives the results of his study of the same sub ject, making the following kindly reference to my ephemeral production of a decade ago,

YOU WILL NOT BE DECEIVED. That there are cheats and frauds in plenty everybody knows; but it is seldom or never that any large business house is guilty of them, no matter what line of trade it follows. There can be no permanent success of any kind based on dishonesty or deception. There never was, and never will be. The men who

try that are simply fonts and soon come to grief-as they deserve. Now many persons are. never.heless, afraid to buy ce. tain advertised articles lest they be humbugged and deluded; especially are they slow to place confidence in published statements of the merits of medicines.

We hear much of the Boxer uprising, but of far more serious import was the long-existing, ever-growing determination of the Government authorities, to some day, and that not far off, fight and expel the foreigner. It has been the custom to blame the Foreign Minister, for their failure to check the coming storm. But remem- ber, the storm was inevitable. The Ministers argued, protested, threatened but the Chinese Government cared for noword of any Minister; | FROM ANTWERP, LONDON, PORT SAID, it had its own plan and was trying to carry it out, all unknown to the men they wished to conquer. I believe that nothing could have prevented the on-coming of war; nothing, unless some and your people have been offended. If you such ultimatum as this: "We see that you agree to suppress at once Boxer lawlessness, and to protect foreigners and all native Christians, we agree to hand back to you Kowloon, and Kuangchouwan. But if you Kianchou, Port Arthur, Talienwan, Weihaiwei, humbug us, we will take these back and a great deal more beside" Seeing that no such ultimatum was given, the Chinese and outrageous attack on foreigners that the Government entered, on the most determined century had known.

I am convinced that these inreds of Foreign Powers were at the bottom of the rising avainst them by the Chinese people nad the Chinese Goverment in 1900. Some of the more in dignant Chinese wanted the extermination of foreigners in China; the milder ones were content with the expulsion of all foreigners, The Imperial Government, after three full meet ings of all the Minister of feand the leading Manchu nobles, decided on war, and the declara tion of war was primarily based on foreign suggestion. The Impe ial Edict, referring to the Foreign Powers said: "At first they were amenable to Chinese control, but for the last thirty years they have taken advantage of China's forbearance to encroach on China's territory, trample on the Chinese people, and demand, China's wealth.
