CHINESE TROUBLE.
TELEGRAPH —PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
THROES OF WAR. SHANGHAI. Feb. 23. Shanghai to-day resembles a city in the throes of war. Reporters are gathering copy cl ml in steel helmets. Rank clerks are cashing cheques, clothed in full uniform. The strikers are quiet. Alany mill hands are returning to work. The native city is still apprehensive of riots. COAIEDY BOMBARDMENT. SHANGHAI, Feb. 23. The recent comedy bombardment, which might easily have been a tragedy, has revealed the fact that the Chinese gunboats were aiming at the big arsenal, which was at the most half a. mile distant. Shells hit a settlement several miles away. FRENCH READY. LONDON, Feb. 23. “The Times” Paris correspondent sa v s: The French Government has instructed the French Consul at Shaughaid to co-operate with the Powers in defending the concessions, and has sanctioned the use of force, if necessary. This does not mean that AL Bn'nnd (Foreign Minister) has departed from the general principle of neutrality, but that he is merely preparing for oventualties. There is no present apprehension of a siege of the concession, though it is realised that the symptoms are disquieting.
