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 passing where Chinamen themselves are not allowed to go, creating disturbances nnd alarming the superstitious by the rock less discharge of firearms from the r *ty wall, while their reported attempt to “otr-i the Forbidden City* tho.<?p m< 1 I precincts reserved exclusively for the Son * Heaven, could not fall to incense the D-ople ,md gain, recruits for the rebels. bombardment of the Taku forts was than a mistake: It was a criminal -'ider.

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 flirting OIT Their Plunder. 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. nrltisli CJnnrils Mistaken. The British sen! organised parties from the warships Barrteur, Endymion and Orlando in charge of officers to guard certain treasures.

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.

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. THEY COULD NOT BEAT IMP.

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. —Paying the Freight.—Johnny—Pa w, when a man expresses an opinion, can lie collect express charge* on it?

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.
