now has three great troubles. The cholera
plague which is sweeping away thousands
of her people. has come almost yearly. until
its arrival Is expected. with more or less
direful ravages, as regularly as summer
merges into autumn. Then she has the in
cipient state of rebellion gnawing at her
yitals, and this year threatening to break
out with unusal force. and over the greater
part Of the empire. But last Of all Is the To-
Gust plague. These insects are completely
overrunning and devastating the rich and
agricultural sections Of the country to such
an extent as to cause the greatest alarm
among the peasants. Steamers coming from
the river ports In Central China,
where the food Of the people Is
mostly grown. report that each day
they pass through immense swarms Of
locusts, so thick as even to darken the sun
for several minutes. Reports from places
removed from the tracks Of foreigners indi-
cate fully as dreadful state Of affairs. The
rice and corn Is completely destroyed IN
many sections, and of the grass, which
serves as the sole food Of the many focks Of
sheep and herds of cattle, not blade Is left.
A severe famine seems very probable in
deed.
The extent of the calamity is further
heightened by the wiseacres (astrologers)
and spies. who 60 about among the suffering
peasants and declare that the locust plague Is
only means taken by God to show mis- dis
pleasure with the people for allowing the
present Manchurian dynasty to rule over
China. and so long as the Chinese submit to
being governed by Manchurian emperor
these plaques will be sent yearly; that the
only way to please God and cause cessa-
tion Of the scourge Is to rebel, overthrow
the Manchurian dynasty and establish real
Chinese emperor upon the throne.
Now that the representatives OF the vari-
Gus foreign powers are beginning to press
the Chinese government for a speedy and
satisfactory settlement for the missionary
property destroyed by the m0bs at the vari-
GUS cities in the valley Of the Yangtze river.
during the past summer, that government Is
beginning to slowly recognize that Innocent
foreigners pursuing their peaceful vocations
in China cannot be wantonly murdered and
their property pillaged and burned without
bringing upon the heads Of the offenders the
vengeance of foreign countries.
China has already agreed to settle all
claims, and assessors are now at work max
ing estimates as to the amounts. To open
Human to foreigners she refuses now, and
asks for time in which to consider the propo-
sition. And, as for the government Of the
province Of Human, she will not admit OF
foreign interference.

enter into the brotherhood of civilized ma

are divided into hostile factions over the
election of a kencho (high priest.) The feud
between the two parties has been OF long
standing, dating so far back that 1t Is diff
cult matter to say what was the original
cause of the split. The Soda sect resemble
somewhat in character the Jesuits, and like
them are very rich in this worlds goods, and
embrace among their members many of the
influential Japanese families. The Office OF
kencho Is one Of great power, and its emolu.

Hence the extraordinary excitement con-
sequent upon the appointment OF this func-

of very reprehensible practices are being
freely INDUCED in by the opposing factions /;
and the impartial Japanese newspapers

parties, trying to expose to the people the
actions of their priests, aud in this way fur
