TO ESCAPE BOXER UPRISING. There is little danger of an outbreak in northern China, although reports from the south indicate unrest, according to Japanese newspapers news-papers that have been recently received, which discuss the report from Minister Calhoun at Pekin that a second Boxer uprising is threatened. The Yamato says there may be some ground for the : report, the uneasiness being due to the reorganization of the army. Pincc Tsai Hsun and Yin Ching, minister of war, are remodeling remodel-ing the army and all incompetent officers who held their positions through politcal influence arc being dismissed. The old army will be disbanded, and a new one gathered together through conscription. conscrip-tion. This change may result in riots, it is feared. The Yamato says it i3 a mistake to regard the present Chinese government like that in existence when the Boxer trouble arose, and the situation will likely be handled without serious disturbances. The Nichi Nichi says the revolutionaries in China are quiet now and not cosidered dangerous, their influence having been weakened by reason of the fact that the government has taken up the matters included in the revolutionary manifesto. The arrangement for annexation an-nexation has greatly weakened the revolutionaries. John S. Goodell, engineer of the Hankow-Canton railroad, who arrived recently from China, says the leaders of the anti-dynastic movement are busily engaged in the south trying to foment trouble. trou-ble. Large consignments of arms are being imported, but the revolutionaries' revo-lutionaries' strength is not such that an outbreak is considered imminent.
