THE CHINESE JEWS.
From The Jewish Morld.

From The Jewish World.
The Chinese Jews-Jews native of China-have
been TediscOvered. The finder happens to be a
Jew, Herr j. j. Liebermann. officer in the
German army of occupation in Kiao-Chau Re
discovered is a correct term for from Marco
Polo to the present time Chinese books of
travel have made constant reference to the
'stickers of the sinews" to the white and the
black Jews of China. Herr Liebermann writes
of a dwindIing community that has been settled
for two thousand years at Kaifengnu. capital
of the Province of Hunan, on the Yellow River.
He noticed in that city people of a Semitic east
of countenance. and these he was informed were
the "Tian- Kin -TChians' the tearers Of the
sinew. on the door of the Chinese shingIe ne
read in Hebrew the word Jekemiah. which he
translates place where God assemblies his peO-
pie" There is, however no evidence that these
people belong to the lost ten tribes" Such
speculation depends upon their ignorance of the
Ninth of Alb. but the high priest informed the
German Jewish officers that his people came
by way of Persia. Khorassan and Samarcand to
China three years after the destruction of the
Temple in Salem"
There is, however abundant reason for a
thorough and searching inquiry into the history
and affairs of this piGtailed Jewry the Yellow
River. Herr Liebermann was shown the ruins
of temple which. from its description. CORE
spends somewhat with that which once crowned
the heights of Zion. He was, indeed. shown the
foundation stone, with its inscription. and its
stone picture of the temple. Such an outline
must he rare, but the inscription, which seems
to me in Chinese, corresponds with tradition so
far that il states that the Jews arrived from the
West in the Han Dynasty. and that the En-
TerOr Mingi made them welcome. According to
Chinese historians the Han Dy nasty fourished

engnU, and that the records concerning such a
temple show that it was erected in the middle
of the tenth century aud that in 1421 it was en-
larged and beautified. The dates thus disagree
Whether the chronology the facts are wrong
do not know but the especial reason for an
inquiry is that this obscure congregation has
preserved though it is ignorant of Hebrew.

ONLY ONE LIFE WAS LOST

Joseph II. Bartley. sr., the aged and
brave engineer who was terribly in
jured in the smash-up on the Delaware
road on Saturday afternoon, may not
die as a result of his heroic action in
refusing to abandon his post before the
collision took place. Mr. BARLEY is at
his home, in this city, under the care
OF Dr. James A. Draper. The physi-
clan entertains hopes OF the injured
mans recovery.

Although the railroad company is
reticent as to the cause Of the acci-

his important duty. 1t Is said that he

Large companies of trainmen have
