LATE EVENTS MEAN A MODERN CHINA | Prof. Hirth Calls Chinese Born Parliamen ■ tarians—-Predicts Progress. ~ - - New York City.-—Friedrich Hirtn, F University, T rt ? fess “ r of who , Chinese as a lifelong in Columbia student (] b i nesQ people, their language and literature, is considered one of the best authorities living on Chinese topics, gave it as h^ opinion that the deatl * of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ^ meant the opening of an ent|r ly „ ew and bet ter era which would benefit not only China hut the other nations of the world, He thought affairs in China would from now on advance rapidly toward Euro ldealg and th h progre ss will lesg rapld than in JapaD) China would in thirty or even twenty years be transformed into a, nation on an equal footing with the other great nations of the world. Professor Hirth had no belief in the report that foul play had entered into the death of the Dowager or the Emperor. In regard to the general attitude of the influential parties and individuals toward the new rule, he said; "I think the events of the next few weeks or days will determine the question of bloodshed or peace. I think that both Liberals and Conser¬ vatives are ready to wait quietly in brder to see what course the Govern¬ ment will take. Prince Chun is a Liberal, and he has enough followers, I think, among the really dangerous party, the overardent Liberals, who might be called the Anarchistic party, to avert any trouble from them, "Prince Chun, I believe, is an able in an .

Speaking in a general way of the death of Emperor and Dowager he said; “It appears to me a very beneficial thing for China. The antagonistic relations between the two and the control by the Dowager of the Em¬ peror roused great dissatisfaction among the Liberals, who had rested their hopes on the Emperor. VOODOO SIGN CAUSED SUICIDE. Superstitious Test Applied to a Man Accused oi Murder Drives Him to Death Red Stain on the Weapon, Mistaken For Blood, is Really Rust. Monticello, Ark. — Suspicion of murder having been confirmed him in the eyes of his neighbors by a voodoo test, Louis Hursh, a farmer, cut his throat and died in the pres¬ ence of the Coroner’s jury. Samuel Haywood was the man whose murder was under investiga¬ tion. He was called to his front door at night and killed with a charge of buckshot. His wife had but a fleet¬ ing glance at the assassin and could give Hursh" no clew to his identity. was questioned about the crime at the inquest, but protested that he had no knowledge of it. Mem¬ bers of the family swore that he was at home when the shot was fired, and Hursh apparently had been elimin¬ ated from the list of suspects when one of the jurymen, an aged negro, spoke up. test him,” "Try the voodoo on urged the negro. “What’s that?” inquired the Coro ner. "Get Hursh’s gun and fire it off again while he is standing by. If he did the murder the gun will sweat blood. tt The Coroner was disinclined to take this step, but others urged it on him and he finally consented. Hursh declared that it was a matter of in¬ difference to him whether the test * I Yet Tsi-An played a valuable part. It almost seems she saved the nation in 1898, when by a coup d’etat the young Emperor tried to crowd on China in twenty days changes which the nation would have needed as many years to digest. « < Yet, the Emperor being highly appreciated by the party of reforjn and progress, her seizure of the re,in? of Government and suppression of new ideas cast a gloom over the spirit of the empire. And little as we know the new characters on the Chinese stage, it is fair to believe that both extremes—conservative and progres¬ sive—will hold themselves in check, and wiU wait to see where the Gov¬ ernment; is tending. All depends on events; it is impossible to state what will happen; one can only speak of probabilities. "But the tendency, whether calm or violent, will, I feel sure, he toward liberalism. These two deaths have cleared the course for China. There is much talk of antagonism toward Manchu rule, yet that antagonism is a thing of recent years; it has been greatly heightened by the relations between the Emperor and his aunt, the Dowager. I believe now that that antagonism will calm down for the time, and will, If the new Govern¬ ment gives satisfaction, die out. »< The talk is of a Constitutional Government. I think, and have al¬ ways thought, the Chinese well fitted for it. They have always appeared to me to be born parliamentarians. Cer¬ tainly they are as well fitted for lib¬ eral institutions as any Oriental na¬ tion—better fitted than the Turks or Persians, as well fitted, I think, as the Japanese. But I believe they will model their Government on the Jap¬ anese Government, and that the stages of their progress generally will be peaceful. "The present Government has a strong liberal party behind it, and the radicals are too much in the minority now to do any harm. So many strong men, both liberal and radical, are with the Government that I do not foresee a serious outbreak. 99 was applied or not. He told where his gun would be found, and it was brought into court. The Coroner and jury adjourned to the woods near by, and the gun was loaded and discharged. Hursh stood by, apparently careless of the results. Following the firing of the gun the jurymen crowded around it to exam ine it for the sign, A murmur arose among them, and the suspense was more than the prisoner could bear. He turned to the gun to examine it, and the man who had suggested the voodoo test pointed to a red stain near the muzzle of the weapon. Hursh became agitated and seemed on the point of making a d?.sh for liberty when he was seized by a deputy. Without further investigation the party filed back into the court room, where in a few moments the jury held Hursh responsible for the kill¬ ing, and Coroner Lewis signed the commitment. When the prisoner saw that he was to he sent to jail on the strength of the voodoo test he took a sharp knife from his pocket and with one stroke ended his life. Subsequently more careful examin¬ ation of the red stain on the muzzle of the gun was made and beyond any doubt ing it was established to "be noth¬ but rust. ENGLAND’S FOOD BILL. $860,000,000 Paid Last Year to Foreign Countries for Eatables. The latest volume issued by board of agriculture and fisheries con¬ tains interesting figures. Britain’s ex¬ penditure for imported food for 1907 was over £172,000,000, while for im¬ ported wool and agricultural produce, such as hay, etc., she spent well over £ 200 , 000 , 000 . The percentage of imports to popu¬ lation rises all round. More than four fifths of the wheat consumed in the United Kingdom comes from abroad. In the seven years 1859-05 Britain imported on an average 120 pounds of wheat and flour per head of the pop¬ ulation each year. In 1907 that amount is nearly doubled. During the same seven years, 1859 05, the total expenditure per head of population on- foreign food averaged £1 2s. 2d. a year. During the last seven years it has averaged £3 4s. lid. nearly treble the amount, the foods in¬ cluded being wheat, meat, butter, cheese, eggs, fruit and vegetables. Some of the figures quoted seem enormous. For instance, in 1907, Britishers consumed 2,228,148,000 for¬ eign eggs. R. H. Rew, who writes the preface to the report, allows himself one pro¬ phecy. In calling attention to the as¬ tounding increase in the dead meat trade he attributes it to the advance of science, which now enables dead meat, even when it has to pass through the tropics “to compete on almost equal terms with much of the meat killed in this country,” and prophesies that In a few years the transit of live animals will disappear “as a relic of an age of imperfect economic develop¬ ment.” A noticeable feature was the great export during the year of British horses to Canada. Canada purchased from Great Britain no less than 61,- 783 horses) the biggest export ever known, though the total value of £1,240,000 was exceeded in 1906. The principal purchasers were Belgium and the Netherlands. The Unselfish Bachelor. Bachelors are cultivated in all large cities. They live in bachelor apart¬ ments and bungalows. They can be seen during the day in counting houses and on the golf links, and in the eve¬ ning at dinner parties and poker games. Bachelors at one time were easily caught with almost any kind of bait, and swallowed bait, hook, sinker and all, often at the first throw. Now, however, they are becoming much more wary, and hide in the depths of their bachelor apartments or in deep poolrooms from which they cannot be lured. They are gregarious in their habits, running in schools, but they stand by one another, and it is very unusual to find a solitary one. Occasionally, however, a more foolish and over-on fident specimen will poke his nose in¬ to a Summer resort, when he is promptly landed. Bachelors are in reality the bulwark of the nation. By not getting married they do not raise families. Families, as we know, are constantly consuming our natural resources. Bachelors are, therefore, really providing more nat¬ ural relources for the few. Their conduct, it will be seen, is thus quite unselfish.—Life. A Tactful Tutor. It is told of the youth of a young German prince, many years ago, and presumably the present emperor of Germany, that upon one occasion, his tutor having been changed, the new¬ comer in examining the young prince asked: • < Can your highness tell how me much is nine times 12? If “Seventy-twb,” replied the prince with royal promptness. The tutor paled, but soon recovered his equanimity. “Permit me to state to your high¬ ness that your highness’s former tu¬ tor, whom I have had the honor to succeed as an instructor to your royal highness, appears to have been a per¬ son of rather limited capabilities,” he said.—Harper’s Weeky. Arab Sport Under the Moon. In camp under the moonlight on tUe desert the travelling Arabs sit around their fire and tell good stories. Some¬ times, too, a socalled magician among them will perform tricks of hand. Most marvellous of pastime, as Nor¬ man Duncan relates in the Harper's Magazine, these stately Easterners, brimming with moon-madness, will plunge into schoolboy games—tag, played with a man mounted on each shoulder, ring-around-a-rosy, bull-in the-ring, and then crack-the-whip—the climax of their abandoned joy. Mr. Duncan, in describing the remarkable scene, says it endures until fatigue de¬ scends and the camp-fire is burned out. The rediscount bank provided for by Congress recently was organized in Mexico with a capital of $10,000,000, one-half of which was furnished by French capitalists and one-half by Mexican banks.
