DEFENSE OF CHINESE.
Outrage* They Ilnve Suffered at
HiindM of Forelffnem.
Ci. M. Walker, in Leslie's Weekly.
A cycle of Cathay has elapsed since the
doors of China we re violently forced open
jjy a “Christian” nation to admit the
tr.iflic in opium, the importation of which,
up to rhat time, had. by Chinese law’, been
i capital offense. For the opium war,
which was forced upon her, a heavy in
demnity was exacted from China, and the
t--, ion of Hong Kong to Great Britain.
The feeling of resentment aroused by
these aggressions was shown in several
minor insurrections, hut culminated in
Ihe great Taiping Rebellion, begun in 1850,
which ail but shook the dynasty from its
throne, and oniy failed because its forces,
corrupted by riotous living, gave up their
high purpose of founding anew dynasty,
and degenerated into a horde of robbers.
The effair of the Arrow in 1856. in which
a Chinese officer arrested some pirates
from a boat that had formerly had a li
cense to fly the British flag, but whose
license had expired, was made the excuse
for the French and English war of 1858-60.
T.j* war, marked by the desecration of
itinples and graves and the wanton des
truction by the allies of ancient and sa
cred places, was closed by the wringing
of another heavy indemnity from China
and the cession of more territory to both
the allies, while Russia seized the oppor
tunity to possess herself of the immense
Ameer provinces. This war was also fol
lowed by widespread insurrections, par
ticularly ttioae In Kan-Suh and Yunnan.
These were followed by French seizure
of Tonquin in 1867, the Japanese invasion
or Formosa in 1868. English advances from
Burrruth, and the Russian occupation of
Hi and eastern Turkestan, which 4aet
was so unjust and brazen a piece of ag
gression that Russia herself acknowledged
it and withdrew’, relinquishing all claims
to the territory by the treaty of 1881.
The harshness and arrogance of the for
eigners in their dealings with the Chinese
in local affairs precipitated frequent trou
ble. The great massacre at Tien Tsin in
1870 was brought: on by the arbitrary and
unnecessary refusal of the French consul
to allow the Chinese magistrate to inspect
the Catholic orphan asylum, with a view’
to discovering the cause of an epidemic
that was rag ng therein. This was followed
b> che murder of Mr. Margery, the guide
of the English expedition through Yunnan,
and the exaction by England of an indem
nity of $250,000 for this single life. Then
the French advance into Cochin China re
sulted In the disastrous war of the Blac'k
Flags and the treacherous bombardment
and destruction of the Chinese fl*et by the
French Admiral Courbet In the River Min.
Having requested and been allowed to
pass the forts and occupy the Chinese
naval anchorage, on the plea that it was
unsafe for the fleet outside, he drew up
alongside the Chinese fleet and. absolutely
without warning, opened Are upon it and
literally blew it out of the water.
The Japanese, war had even less reason
to justify It. China had scrupulously com
plied with the terms of her treaty. But
Japan with a serious rebellion on her
hands, needed something to divert the at
tention of her people from the troubles
at home, and an opportunity to try out
her army. The results are known to all.
China lost her ancient dependency of Ko
rea; Japan received Formosa and an in
demnity that repaid her, four times over,
her outlay on account of the war. Russia
with a diplomacy comparable only to that
of a highwayman, secured Manchuria, i J ort
Arthur and the Lieu tung peninsula,
while England accepted the “lease” of
We-hai-wei. “Spheres of influence” were
then claimed by Great Britain, France,
Russia and Japan, and finally Germany
seized Kiao Chau and claimed for her
sphere the province of Shantung.
Heretofore the claims and aggressions
of the Powers had been confined to out
lying territories, but this last seizure, a
piece of piracy that stands absolutely un
equaled, was upon the sacred ©oil of one
of the original eighteen provinces of ihe
empire. The effect upon the Chinese peo
ple of the seizure of this part of Shan
tung, the home of Chinese civilization, ‘he
birthplace of their greatest sages and war
riors. can he compared only to the effect
that a seizure of Bunker Hill and Boston
harbor would have upon- us. In the seiz
ed territory the Chinese villagers were
driven out, some from homes that had
been in their families for over 2,000 years,
and received no compensation in return.
In laying out the proposed railroad
through Shantung the engineers became
offended at protesting villagers and,
bringing up an armed force, completely
exterminated two villages as a “warning”
to others.
The present outbreak of the Boxers,
which began with the murder of Dr.
Brooks on Jan. 2, was precipitated by a
Qerman engineer who brutally killed a
boy by knocking him over the head with
the handle of his riding whip. Nor is it
strange that Chinese feeling should have
been directed against the missionary in
whose home this engineer stayed that
night without oven mentioning the reason
he sought shelter. Priests- who came to
teach religion have stayed to usurp the
functions of local magistrates. But it is
useless to multiply incidents*, for it is on
unbroken tale of coercion and had faith,
of ports forced upon at the cannon’s
mouch, of exorbitant Indemnities for the
most insignificant claims, of rich conces
sions wrung from an unwilling govern
ment by duress, of the total disregard of
Chinese sentiment, and the brutal out
rage of Chinese feeling, of the utter ignor
ing of private rights and international
comity.
In addition to this the sensational pa-
J' f rs of Tien Tsin and Shanghai have for
the past two years discussed little else
but the coming “partition.” and the prob
able division” of the empire, until the
natives have become thoroughly alarmed.
No wonder the people have come to look
with suspicion or hatred upon all for
eigners, and are filled with resentment
against a dynasty that has so failed to
preserve the honor and integrity of their
empire.
Dynasties have lasted In China only as
lung as they have protected the people in
their righto, and the present uprising is
Int. m on either relieving the throne from
foreign coercion or on establishing anew
dynasty in its stead. Foreigners, as usual,
,v ® shown a disregard for established
cusioms and laws that they would
rot dare display In any other capital of
the world. Guards sent to protect the le
gations have roamed about Pekin tres

Pekin at the mercy of the mobs. They
who have ©owed the wind are reaping the
whirldwind, and the crimes and outrages
of a cycle of dishonor have been wiped
out in one of those blind outbreaks of hu
man rage, the final protest of races
against culminating encroachments of
their rights—Guy Walker, in
Leslie’s Weekly.
LETTER FROM MISS CONGER.
She Foresaw the Trouble Which Hu*
Since Occurred.
The New York World prints the follow
ing extract from a letter from Miss Laura
Conger, daughter of the American minis
ter at Pekin, to a friend in New York:
“But now I must tell you of what an
interesting 1 time mother had recently. The
Empress Dowager gave an audience to
the ministers’ wives here in Pekin. No
one else could go—not even the secre
taries’ wives. There were seven ladies
and four interpreters. The Emperor was
also on the throne.
As each lady was presented and stepped
up on the throne platform the Empress
Dowager took her by both hands, greeted
her and put a gold ring, set with a largo
pearl, in her hand.
Afterward the ladies went to a Chinese
banquet, where they met the Emperor’s
wife, and then to the court theater; lat
er to another banquet and between times
t*ere served with ten.
“Think of it! These were the first for
eign ladies the Empress Dowager had ever
seen or who had ever seen her! After
centuries the veil whs finally lifted. It
was a great day in China’s history. No
one who has not been here can realize
what ii means. After the ladies reached
home the Empress Dowager sent them
more presents of silk, ivory, combs, etc.
“Mother has gone way up in the eyes
of her servants since this audience. The
head ‘hoy’ (servant) said to mother: 'Ma
dame, i is very grand you see Em
peror.’
“Cook says: ‘Mrs. Penby here thirteen
years, nev£r see Emperor. Only about
forty Chinamen ever sec Emperor. He
come down from heaven.*
“You see. they hold him as sacred.
* * * Of course, you have read that we
have a legation guard of United States
marines now (a lieutenant and twenty
marines from the cruiser Boston). Eight
of the legations have them.
“You see in the winter navigation is
closed and the mail comes by couriers
overland, so if there was any trouble here
the foreigners could receive no aid.
“Last fall the Chinese seemed to bo
particularly bitter toward foreigners, and
the ministers didn’t know what might
happen during the winter nnd hence pre
pared themselves. About the first of Oc
tober a mob attacked all foreigners com
ing from the station to the city, stoning
them, breaking two ribs Of an American;
and completely demolishing the chairs
and carts.
“T tell you. they all hate us, and would
be glad to see every white person out of
China.”
ALLIES SACK TIKIV TSl\.
Scltller* Tnke Million* of Dollar*
AVorlli of Plunder.
From the Philadelphia Rerord.
London, July 21.—A dispatch written at
Tien Tsin on July 15. the day after the
storming of the Chinese city, and receiv
ed by a news agency here, says the whole
day was devoted to the looting of the na
tive city by the allies, and that millions of
dollars' worth of property had been taken
by the soldiers.
The American and Japanese troops were
the only ones who made any attempt to
restrain the civilian or soldier looters. The
men of both these commands behaved
well, the conduct of the Japanese being es
pecial} - commendable under the circum
stances. ' i-A .it

The whole city, says the dispatch. Is
filled with an indiscriminate mob of Chi
nese and soldiers of all nationalities, who
are breaking open stores, smashing chests
and safes and rushing hither and thither
with their arms filled with silks, furs. Jew
elry, sliver bars and money.
The residents of the settlements flocked
to the native city on the morning after it
harl Men captured and impressed coolies
with rickshaws ami carts and donkeys in
to service and very soon the roads be
tween the settlements and the city were
lined with a long procession of looters car
rying off their plunder.

The British sen! organised parties from
the warships Barrteur, Endymion and
Orlando in charge of officers to guard
certain treasures.
It was known that the Chinese hod two
official treasuries containing over 11.list,-
OOP The local lon of one of these treasur
ies was known. The allied authorities In
tended to' seize the money, and placed n
guard in the wrong place.
When the mistake was discovered it
was found that the stiver had nearly
all been taken away. The British guard
began searching the houses ln_ the set
tlement and found about 135.000. Th
search is still going on and guards were
posted around the settlement with in
structions to seize nil the loot brought
in end also to confiscate all civilian loot
that may be found in the settlement.

Interested may 4ecsoe on.
Soldiers in the street stopped one civil
ian who was pushing a wheelbarrow ap
parently filled with rags. It was found
to contain SIO,OOO in Mexican silver.
Soon after a party of British sailors
in charge of an officer came along with
a water cert loaded with silver. The of
ficers of the Sikh Regiment have been
taken stretcher parties through the city,
gathering everything of any conceivable
value.
Must Die if They Hcnint.
Fires have been started throughout the
city, end men are fighting in the streets
over loot. Revolvers have be<*n drawn
and threat® of shooting are not uncom
mon. The Chinamen sometimes offer a
©how of resistance against being plunder
ed, and in these cases ore shot. The
looters regard the pawnshop© as special
prizes.
The British officers who are seizing the
civilian loot say it i© to be divided among
the soldiers. There is no interfering with
them by’ the French, Russians and Jap
anese.

From the New York Press.
Blood pudding is common food for rer
tain people, hut witli most of us there is
a prejudice against it. Blood drinking was
anciently tried to give vigor to the sys
tem. but eating blood was prohibited to
Noah, to the Jews t Ad to tha Genfile con
verts. Louis XI. in his last Illness drank
the warm blood of Infanta In the vain
hope of restoring his decayed strength.
I have seen crowds of women anel chil
dren in a noted abattoir in this city drink
ing the hot blood of the ox. They go there
with tomato cans, which they till and
take home. In the latter part of the sev
enteenth century transfusion of blood was
countenanced by French physicians, the
blood of children being used to repair the
decaying vigor of the aged. Fatal effects
ensuing, the practice was suppressed by
an edlri. It was tried In Philadelphia
twenty-three years ago. Blood apparently
fails to fertilize blood, but it makes an
excellent manure for crops. Much of the
blood from out slaughter houses was used
in former years In refining sugar, but
nowadays It Is converted Into fertilizer,
over 350.000.0C0 pounds of which are sold
annually.

KEPT SILENCE FOR YEARS.
Sometime* Speaks to Hi* Mother, hot
Never to Any Other.
Mill bridge, Me., July 21—Not a word to
anyone except his mother has Winnie
Wakefield of this place spoken in twenty
eight years. His silence began when he
was ten years old. He can talk as well as
any man in the. town, and goes about a
great deal, but when any person other
than his mother askf* him a question he
writes the answer on a slip of paper and
hands it over silently.
Wakefield was peculiarly silent as a child
and when his father died he quit speaking
altogether, except for an occasional word
to his mother. He went to school, his
mother being the teacher, and managed
to get a fair education, although scarcely
o|>enlng his mouth all Ihe time.
Before his father died he played with
the other children, but seldom said a word
to any of them. When a young man he
went to dances and waltzed with the girls,
but he was never known to say one word
on the*s occasions, even to his partner.

There is nothing on earth to equal “Infants’

face, prickly heat, and a thousand and one uses to
which ladies put it. The baby needs nothing else.
Try nothing else for it.
