Judging by the way the Chinese are pouring out of Shanshai, en route for Canton and Ningpo, there would appear to be a ig scare amongst them. Many of the departing Chinese were residents of Shanglini and' others are fugitives from the North, who have lately arrived here.
The scene at the departure of the Pekin was an extraordinary one, the vessel's upper and lower decks being densely packed witl Chinese hound south, and an immense throng gathered on the river bank to seo them off. The C.M.S. Kiangfoo alone took about 2,000 ningpo. The Kiangteen and Kungping, to-d © hundreds of natives ty their iranes in_the south, and the L-ES. Choysang, for Hongkong, Swatow, yesterday left with arly 300 Chinese on board. The C.N. Ca. found the strain on their passenger accommodation so great that they had to put an extra boat, the Kansu, on the run to Ningpo last night and she too was crowded with a more or less panic-stricken throng of natives, although the fares have been doubled' and a heavy charge is made for baggage. For boat to Soochow as much as $75 being paid or more than ten times the ordinary fare. On the other hand, numbers of well-to-do Chinese are coming into Shanghai for refuge.
