London, Nov. 21st. Confirmation of
the rumored massacre of foreigners at
Hsienfu, China, Is received in messagea
from Tientsin to' the Exchange Tele-
time la ilo't stated in the Exchange dis
patches. K ia only known that most,
ii not au, foreigners at Haienru were
English and Scandinavian Baptist mis
sionaries. '

Reports of a massacre of French mis
sionaries in Lolos territory, south of
Szechuen province, still lack confirma
tion, but the gravest fears are enter
tained, - The actual outbreak of anti-
foreign violence in China is causing the
deepest anxiety in government circles
here. Not only ia it feared that the
Hsenfu outrage will be followed by
murders of foreigners all over China,
but since it ia evident that outside in
tervention cannot be longer delayed,
the danger of friction between the pow
era becomes imminent. It is of Japan
and Russia that England is most suspi
cious. It has alienee with both but
but trusts neither very fnr. The Eng
lish believe the Czar and the Mikado
have long had a compact for partition
ing China, to ' the exclusion of oher
powers; Anxiety was intensified by
Saturday 'a landing of Japanese troops
at Cbifa without what waa considered
her adequate reason at the time. News
that Russia has been secretly partially
mobilizing in Eastern Siberia ia consid
ered another dangerous symptom.
Further messages from Tientsin say
there were about 25 Europeans at Hsi
enfuand an American woman physi
cian. Dr. Ycung, the wife of one of the
Scandinavian missionaries. It is now
understood at Tientsin that they were
included in a massacre of Chinese of
Hsenfu.

sented. Yesterday morning tbe doors of the
large exhibit hall on George street were
thrown open to the public and from
that lime until the doors wer closed
last night there was a steady stream of
admiring visitors. The building, both
on the exterior and the interior, had
been beautifully decorated for the oc
casion and the scene was indeed an at
tractive one.
Of course the agricultural exhibits
were the chief attractions. Practically
everything that is grown by the farm
era of this section of the state waa on
display and the very beat of their crop.
too. Corn, cotton, potatoes, apples,
and hundreds of other products were
attractively arranged upon tbe large ta
bles. The farmers of Craven county
are to be congratulated upon the ex
cellent showing they made, and we
wish it waa within our power to give
each and every one of them a substan
tial prize. They could not have pos
sibly arranged a more attractive dis
play of their products.
In the section set aside for the live
stock exhibit were found chickens, tur
keys, ducks, hogs ete. This section
was not as complete as the committee
would have liked for it to have been,
but the animals and fowls which were
on display were greatly admired by the
thousands.
The local merchants and manufact
urera realizing the advantages of ad
vertising the atorea and factories at
this time, were well represented. The
booths occupied by them had been at
tractively decorated and with the ex
cellent displays which they con Mined,
could not but attract the eytu if all
parsing by. Among the most notice
able disp'aya were those of Messrs. S.

tention. The North Carolina agriculture test
farm at Raleigh also sent a very fine
exhibit.
The exhibit hall will be open again
today and tonight and it is hoped that
every person in New Bern will be able
to visit these exhibits. There is so ad
mittance fee charged, and those who
attend will be given attractive and use
ful souvenirs by many of those who
have booths in the hall. Remember,
thia is the last day that you will have
an opportunity of seeing these exhibits
and if you fail to visit the hall today
you will a rare treat.
