CHINA.
THE THREATENED
RISING
LONDON, December 31.
A Chinese official at Kansu reports that Tungfuhsiang's followers await the signal to march on Pekin, expel the foreigners and uphold the Dowager Empress. The Mongolians are expected to co-operate.
The marble arch spanning the spot where the German Minister, Baron Yon Kettler, was assassinated at Pekin is inscribed with the word "Penitence" in Latin, German and Chinese. It will be ceremoniously onveiled on January 13.
China refuses to pay the January instalment of the indemnity in gold owing to the fall in the price of silver. The Powers, however, insist.
