Serious Disorders In Portions
of China Are Reported by
Returning Missionaries.

MILLIONS FACE FAMINE

Failure of Rice Crop In Several Provinces
Threatens Many Chinese With Star-
vation—Secret Societies, Sworn To
Expel Foreigners from Country, Com-
mit Many Atrocities.

_Missionaries who arrived by
the Empress of India from China
yesterday state that within a few
hundred miles of Shanghai there
are about a million Chinese facing
starvation because of the famine,
says the Colonist. About ten per
cent of the sufferers in Central
China are being relieved. Re-
ports from the relief committee’s
agents in North Kiangsu state
that 800,000 people face death in
that district and in North Anhui
the number is placed at 300,000.
More hopeful news comes from
the Yangtze valley, where, how-
ever, repairs in the dykes
breached by last year's floods are
necessary if the rice crop valued
at twenty imillion taels is not to
be lost,

Great disorders still prevail ‘in
Shensi, according to the arrivals,
For many months the officials
having been losing their power
the secret societies have been
gaining in power and in numbers,
the situation has become go seri-
ous that at the present moment
not Jess than thirty thousand
meh are wandering at large
working out nothing but anarchy
wherever. they go, Some sort
of half-hearted fight has been
put up by the royal Republican
troops, but it is said that hardly
a member of the army is not a
sworn member of one or other of
these deadly secret societies.
Armed bands in connection with
them have been organized.
Roaming whereever they will,
they plunder, loot, massacre and
defy all law and order, They
are hooligans of the worst kind.

One of these societies has
sworn to oust, the foreigner from
the interior. Gaining power in
the district, the hooligans have
set fire to all the foreign-built
schools, have burnt all the for-
eign furniture, books and general
equipment, do not allow the peo-
ple to wear foreign caps or hats
so recently introduced in lieu of
the redknobbed round Manchu
hat, have chased missionaries
from their stations, and have
reduced the country for hundreds
of miles around to utter devasta-
tion.

The poor people, afraid of their
lives, surrender all they possess,
Women are carried off, if there
is the slightest resistance the
objectors are cruelly massacred,
and ‘some of the happenings are
reported to be indeserihably
awful, From Kansu also there
come reports that the greater
part of the province isin a'totally
chaotic condition. The officials,
long since robbed of whatever
power they had, are helpless and
are forced to submit-to the re-
belling factions. In the west of

‘ll China there seems to have come

a lull in the trouble that hag
harassed Szechuen and Yunnan
for so many months, and things
have so far settled down that the
consuls are allowing foreign sub-
jects to return,
