In order to ward off the calamity of another foreign aggression, great opposition has been raised by the Chinese people against the at- tempts Governor Wang Chi-chun of Kwangsi is reported to have made to borrow money and troops from the French, for the suppression of the troubles in the province, says the Sin Wun Pus. But according to a telegram received here from Governor Wang Chih-chun, all the reports about him in this matter were entirely unfounded. While it is necessary to be on our guard against foreign aggression, we must not overlook the fact that the peace of Kwangsi largely depends upon a good civil administra. tion of the province, It will be in vain to expect a lasting peace after the suppression of the in-banks, it fell through because of the Edict issued last year disavowing al responsibility on the part of the Throne for all such transac- tions, and Wu was strongly opposed to the proposals. Within the past week Wu Mas Ting, and Wang Ming Wei, the compradore of the Russo-Chinese Bank, have both been ap Tientsin, and we now find Wu himself intro ducing a plan which does not very matenally differ from the first, and which is still open to the objection of possible government repudia tion. He is now trying to get this carried through, but i don't think he will succeed, and

The rebellion in Kwangsi did not originate in an anti-feeling against foreigners in general or against foreign missionaries in particular Nor did it arise, as it is believed by many people, from

desire of the insurgents to use the existing Manchu Government. The insur- gents have not been carrying on their work on

THE NEW MACHINEGUNS

AT TONKING.

A correspondent writes :-Trials were made recently at Fontay (Tonking) of the new Amachine-guns which were served oat a short time ago to each European infantry battalion, The new arm, which is manufactured by the Hotchkiss repeating arms Company, bears a strong resemblance to our Maxim. It is fixed, on a portable tripod and uses the same cartridge as the French army rifle, (9 millimetre)..

The rate of fire was about zo shots per second, but the weapon jammed frequently and it was sometimes necessary to replace pieces of the breech mechanism before firing could be resumed. This was probably owing In the fact that these parts are too light and delicate to support the severe strain created by the rapid and repeated concussions. The extractors were for the most part the cause of these breakdowns, and it is probable that these are much too highly tempered to withstand the continued shock. I am informed that during similar trials, which took place a short time. ago in France, the same defects came to light, so it would seem that this new weapon can hardly be declared a complete success, as is the case with the 75 millimetre q. f. field gun now adopted.

We are delighted with the news, sent here by Lovernor Wang Chil-chun, that order and peace have been brought back to Kwangsi, but, as he fears, that there may still be some ele: ments of untest lying under the surface, he will wait until he feels sure that the pacification has been really completed before reporting the matter to the Throne. But we fear that the so- called completion of the pacification of the province is not reliable, and that ifit be reliable, a lasting peace cannot be expected unless the province is hereafter properly and well ad- ministered. In order to achieve this good end, the Governor of Kwan, si should see that industrial institutes all over the province are established, all the uncultivated lands are open- ed and all the mineral resources are developed, so that all the people may have work to do.

ROSSIAN COLLIERIES IN MANGITORIA,

Since her occupation of Manchuria Russia has discovered there, after strenuous exertions, a number of rich coal mines and has been assiduously working them, with the result that exportation of the Mitsu's Mike coal to l'ort Arbur, which amounted to Gooroo tons the jear before last, recently decreased to 100,000 tons. This decrease, is all the more noliceable in view of the fact that the consumption of cual at Port Arthur must have con idembly in- creased owing to the augmentation of the Russian squadron and to the completion of the Chinese Eastern Railway There is indeed, some reason for Russia to feel sorry at leaving Manchuria, observes the China Gazette.

The silver temporarily released from the foreign banks in cashing these orders must inevitably and its way back to them. The movement is fatile, because there are other conditions apparently hampering the life-blood circulation of trade, which alone can relieve the market. In some quarters the new proposals are regarded with the utmost confidence; but, I think you will find them come to naught. In substance Mr. Wa's plan is as follows:-

1. The free circulation of native bank onders

as formerly.

2. That the Viceroy's 'official bank become responsible for the native banks properly

constituted.

3 That the foreign banks recognize the native orders providing pative banks produce security satisfactory to their compradores.

4. That all such native orders bear the chop

of the official bank.

5. That the official bank and foreign bank compradores be jointly responsible for any irregularities in these bank orders, 6. That the Viceroy be security for Tis. 300,000 for each of the five lending native banks. 7. That title deeds of property belonging to these banks be lodged with the foreign banks if necessary, under certain condi- tions.

I was talking the other day with a very in- telligent missionary from the interior, and he says there is undoubtedly a strong impression among the country folk that the Government really did secretly approve of what the Boxers did and tried to do. When the city was first restored to the Chinese, the Viceroy, as I think I mentioned at the time, issued a proclamation that there were to be no charges and counter charges between converts and Boxers or their supporters, etc., and as the object was to avert an endless number of cases which it would take

A Tientsin dispatch to the Araki states that the Russian troops are mustered on both banks of the Liao River, declaring that they are guarding the nines. The Chinese General Chang is also there. On the bank of the Yalu arc 4,00 mounted bandits, hired by General Chang, and about 1,000 Russian horsemen and 5.000 infantrymen, who are making a strict examination of strangers. There are two telegraph lines in Manchuria, the castern and western lines. The western line has been returned to the Chinese authorities, who have arranged to repair it and open communication throughout the whole of Manchuria. The

eastern line stili remains in the hands of Russia.

Over 18,000,000 feet of lumber on Puget Sound and at Port- land for Manila have been purchased, of which the last big order was 3,900,000 feet. The Dix has just returned to Tacoma from a voyage lo Manila where she took over 3,400,000 feet and 2,400 cedar doors to be used for constracting barracks. Several million feet have also been shipped from Tacoma to Manila for the govern- ment on the China Mutual Liverpool-Tacoma liners and other big shipments have been made by other steamers. With this purchase of 10,000,000 feet soon to be made, a total of nearly 30,000,000 feet will have been bought by the government within the past six months, all for constructing barracks and kindred build- ings in the Philippines.
