Chinese Outwardly Quiet In Shanghai > BUT ANTI-FOREIGN PROPAGANDA GROWS. [Aust. and N.Z. Cablo Association.) [By Electric Cable—Copyright] (Received Sunday, 7 p.m.) PEKIN. June 20. Delegates, representing forty-eight , colleges, sent a deputation to interview ' the Foreign and War Ministers, demanding the severance of diplomatic ties claim the case is .not connected relations with Britain and the Impeachment of the Hankow Talpan. The situation, however, at least out- , wardly, is quietening. There arc no , signs of boycott or strike, and numI bers have returned home during the , past week. Shanghai is quiet, but there | is no cessation of anti-forolgn propa- ! ganda. ' The decision to re-open banks and , shops is favourably affecting the gen- , eral situation, but merely reflects the | necessity of the Chinese to end the phase of the situation which is causI ing them much more severe losses and inconvenience than the foreigners. The shipping strike, which is a strong anti-forcign weapon, is not weakening, and the srtlkers are beginning to kidnap Japanese employees, who are taken to Chapel i on tile payment of money and promises to quit their employment. A wiroles from Ghing kiang states that .the ’strikers resolved that coal would not bo sold to Anglo-Japanese at Swatow. Tho anti-foreign demonstrations continue at Foochow and an anti-Jap-anese boycott has been decided on, but the date has not been fixed. AGITATORS AT HONG-KONG. HAVE COOL RECEPTION FROM SEAMEN.
