came from the north or from the west. In
q word, the Tungani eowed what YAKooB
Beg was to reap in Kashgar, and what
Russian Governor, on the plea OF protecting
trade, turned to account by assuming pro-
visional possession OF Kuldja
A good deal Of light has been thrown
during the past twelvemonth on the record
OF YAkOoB Beg In kashgar, and 1T is clear
that the sagacity OF this advcnturcr has
been considerably exaggerated. II was by
an alliance with the Tungan rebels that the
Khoja Prince, whom the Khokandan officer
used for season as catspaw, was rein
stated in the domain from which his family
had been ousted for upward Of n century.
1t was plainly the policy Of the new ruler
to knit closely his relations with the Moham-
modan insurgents, and TO consolidate and
strengthen as fur as possible their power
which was likely to supply tho only sub
stantial dyke against Chinese revenge.
YAKooB, however, did just the contrary.
His twelve years OF virtual or avowcd au-
thority in Kashgar were mainly spent in
quarrcls with his Tungan subjects or their
kinfolk on his eastern frontier, and ended
with the almost total subverslon Of their
InllltIN ItSOuIttSs VII iut Ollitl MANU-
when the citadel OF Kashgar was surren-
dercd. some 5000 Khtay troops were taken
into YAKooB's pay, and the daughter of
their commander became his wife Tho re-
suit was that when the long-thrcatcned
army OF chastscment approached from
China, there remained no effective clements
OF resistance while the Khitay soldiers, on
whom the usurpcr seems TO have largely
relied, fastened to mako common cause with
thor countrymen and corcligonists. This
state Of things explains the abrupt collapse
Of YAKooBs power, and the rapid rcconqucst
of Kashgar by the Chinese forces
We must bear in mind that the Pcliin au-
thoritcs have not for u moment during the
period OF expulsion abandoned their claim 10
that section Of Turkistan Of which they had
control prior to the Tungan rebellion. On
this account the Russian Government, which
heretofore may have found it inconycnicnt
to quarrel with China, steadily refused to
recognize YAKooB Beg as sovereign Of Kash-
gar. So. too, when kuldia was menaced by
the latter ruler, and thcrcupon was occu-
pied 10y Muscoyitc troops under orders from
the Governor of the Ru sian province adj
joining it on the north, this step was care

toward his daughter. In n conversation
with reporter for the Herald he gave tho
following explanation OF her antipathy to
him:
"JpsNfp always sided with her mother JENNIt's
feeling toward dates also from the time came
bach from New York last February She wanted me TO
bring her n set Of diamonds They would have cost
probably $500 but It wasn't the price that deferred

tied by the utmost fairness, and all that is
TO bc desired Is that justice be done in the
promises,

The Chineso in Tnrkistnn.

According to adviccs received some weeks
ago. the last fortresscs on the extreme west
Of ka-hgar have been occupied by the Chi
ncsc forces, and We now learn from late
telegram that an embassy from the Middle
Empire is on its way to st. Petersburg.
Although the object Of this mission is not
stated ii is easily understood by those con-
vcr-aut with the history o. Turklstan dur
ing the last fifteen years. The embassy is
IT, -. moi only to tx the doubtful
frontier Of khokand and the province for
time controlled 10y YAKoOB Beg, but also to
demand that kuldia, the province lying on
the north, shall, In conformity with Russian
pledges, be transferred TO Chinese hands.
This demand, which can hardly be refused,
but will very likely be Graded, marks the
eliminating point 81 an interesting counter
revolution and the juXtapo-ition in Turks
tan Of two inevitably rival aud possibly hos
tile powers.
1t is now about fourteen years since the
MUssuiman- dwelling in Kuldja and Knsh-
gar, which together make up the eastern
section Of Turkistan, declared in the vchc-
mcnt language of revolt and massacre that
the Chimes" must 20. These provinces had
been Won to the Middle Empire by the last
wave Of westward conquest which about the
middle of the last century, during the reign
oil the really great Emperor KEEN LUNG,
had swept over the whole region from Iii
on the north to Khotcn ON the south. For
the first fifty years the subject races were
S. well governed that there was no induce
meut ion an attempt to shake Off the foreign
domination. Since 1913, however, numerous
inyasiOns from western Turkistan have
taken place, all Of which up to 1863 miscar-

some two thousand years Mr.. STONE infers
that the theory Of an Asiatic origin for our abo-
rlgnal American civilizations is substantially
disproved. and that tho highly advanced race OF
which the Mound builders, the Totccs, and the
Incas were representatives came from the
West He does not favor so much the notion OF
a migration across tho Atlantic-although he
heads his article with the query. Wero the
Mound-builders Egyptians pas he does tho

DoURG. That Archaeological. as is well known.
postuatcd the existence Of q submerged conti-
ncnt, the Atlantis Of Greek fable, whose frag
ments are known to us as the Azores, the Ma
dcras, and the Antilles. Those who carry this
theory furthcst would make the Egyptians. the
Toltecs and the Incas alike descended from the
one original stock which nourished in the van
ishod continent. We scarcely need point out
that the evidence adduccd by Mr.. STONE. though
striking. is wholly inadequate. Unless largely
supplemented. It would prove nothing more
than an isolated expedition ofthe Mound-build-
ers eastward. which is probable enough. Sup
pose. for example some implements Of Chinese
workmanship were TO be found in Mexico at n
depth implying an age OF fifteen hundred
years. OF itself that would prove nothing be-
yond the fact already attcsted by the Chinese
annals-namely. that about tho fifth century
some Buddhist monks made their way to the

gagged in discussing the question whether
clcrgymen ought or ought not to wear NOUS

ports concerning probable renewal OF Eastern
difficulties and possibly new war. But they
have been all mere vague rumors. some coming

to live on his salary as n Marshal. and that will
not cover the household expenses Of the style Of
life TO which he. and moro especially his wife.
have now become accustomed. Money consid-
cratons play here as everywhere else very
important part. Bismarck is reported to have
said with his usual frankness. that he would
have resigned long ago had 1t not been for tho
100 900 marks tabout 100000 which he is yearly
receiving as Chancellor Of tho Empire and

The rumors concerning Ma Mahons re. irna-
tion were probably the consequence Of his re
cont indisposition, some Of the symptoms ot
which were thought to threaten paralysis. He
