All the Bowers which liafe interests in that coun try are waking up to its importune*-. The Ixmdon copers express the opinion that affairs there are working up to a crisis of the first magnitude. It certainly looks as If they were. The "Boxer” movement, as has been frq\i a ntl> explained, is an anti-foreign movement. Tire “Boxer" organization is a secret one, Composed of fanatics, it is an organization, however, which repre sents Hie sentiments of the people. The people are against the foreign clement. I hey want the foreigners driven out. It i* easy to understand therefore wtn no v< t v greyi effort has yet nceu made by the government to check the “Boxer” movement The government is responsive to the will of the people. lion. William A -ruggs of Atlanta, for a number of years our consul general in China, said in an interview the other day that, notwithstanding ail assertions to the contrary, the messes of China are un alterably opposed to anything like for eign influence in the empire. The Chinese look upon themselves as u chosen people, and they believe that their government, their civilization and their social* system ore a revelation from heaven. Naturally, therefore, the work of foreigners, whether in tiie mission He’d or in (lie direction of Industrial or ’commercial enterprises, is looked upon with hostile eyes. It is re gard* and as tin effort to overthrow their civilization, and consequently their gov wnment. The “Boxers” are given that name be cause of their pc Hiliwr movements when they approach an enemy. They go through a series of movements which re mind one of a boxer. They believe that these movements t * nd* t them invulnerable and also confound the <nerny. Entertain ing such beliefs it is easy to see why they are a very difficult element to deal with. A factor in the situation, and one that Is of vast importance to China, is the at titude which Bussla and Japan miv as suming towards each other. Kttssla. it is said, lias offered to lend the Chinese gov- ernment wssiDance in putting down • i*- “Boxer?.” To (hi* Japan object*.

Therefore Japan o >je ts to tin* land ing of troops l>> Russia in I in- sett lons of (lie empire in which the troiihl* ♦xists. According t> the dispnl. >hes .Input) has be gun mobilizing her fleet.

And it N proha ole that Japan is iiv( the only Power that would to the oc cupation of Chinese terriiory by Russian troops. Cbkia is ivgnrDd fts a great cum mer* ial field, and ail of tin* commeni.il nations are figuring for a share of her commerce.

Dr. Kuh**- niaiiii. in tlu* Berliner K inis, lie Woche.i schrift. explains the unusually severe prevalence of influenza which vi-ired the (ierman capital during last winter from the extraordinary want of sunshine In that season, especial y in January. Since IW. Berlin • xperlenccd Hie least amount of sunshine in this motuh. The sun cu t its benignant rays in visible sunshine for only <i.s hours In January of 1900, while tiie last eight years’ average for the same month was 3ti.4 hours. The before-men tioned 9N hours of sunshine fell upon the first half of January, when case* of In fluenza were less frequent, while from Jan 1(1 to 31 no sunshine at nil was re corded In thi In-*t period th** eo'tDmh grew to a very large extent. In the year when the influenza raged most vio lently In Berlin, the city had twenty-'wo days without sunshine. The suit, the do**tor argues.
