"AGAINST "FOREIGN DEVILS!*

A peculiar situation prevade in China. It may crystallize at any moment into open revolt agalost the dynasty, although I must say it seams unlikely to do so. The movement is largely anti-foreig », as most, disturbing mave- ments have besu in China for same me past. The mass of the Chinese believe that their greatest coemy is the firéignet-the Europeao, the American, and the Japanese, who are all classed together.

The first and oldest hostility is that directed at the Mauchu dynasty. The Monchus came at conquerols, and imposed the pigtail as the Chinese. But, though the premium of a lew teals per month is s ill paid by the Government to every Manchu family, the laskuilation of the Manchu by, marriage and a language and customs has teaded largely to mitigate the I- feeling. So that at the present time, if the raling dynasty were able to cope successfully with foreign aggression, is probable that Chinese bostility would assume a less threaten. -fog attitude than it is now displaying.

The Chinese Government copsists, in the first instance, of the Prince Regent, the Emperor being but four years old. This young man, not thirty` years of ago, is advised by a Graad Council consisting at present of three Manchus and two Chiseso. The most pro minent of the Councillore; the man who is said, ladeed, to rule the country, is the venerable Prince Ching. For the Regoat, who undoubt edly means well, and desires the advancement of China, is strong enough neither in character nor experience, while he does not appear to understand exactly what changes are necessary, or how they should be brought abɔut.-Mora- ing Leader.
