Niiw Yoiuc, Feb.l3.-It is very evident
that the government at Washington is anticipating events of a serious nature in China. That the :apprehension is not confined to \Vasbington ia shown by a special cable from London which says;
“Private information from diplomatic
sources at Peking indicates that the gravest view is taken of the situation in China. The present agitation is declared to ben formidable Boxer rising under another nam and of far more serious proportlonsthan the one of a few years ago."
There is no attempt in government cir cies in Washington to minimise the ser- ousness of the Chinese situation but at the same time it is held by moat officials that an outbreak Is nothctuaily imminent. Some are certain it is to come, others be- iicvc that if at ull, the outbreak will not occur heforc six months or a. year.

theoretical ,- instruction of the schools.
