A Pekin cor respondent described a secret plan to crush foreigners and reclaim leased territories, noting widespread knowledge among Chinese elites and mockery from those allied with foreigners. The text laments officials’ sleep amid mutinous danger and links it to a broader era of assassinations and violent upheavals in early twentieth century history.
