| Hok Shan has gone trifle too laI
in his zeal to play the cards OF h's
IMPERIAL Mistress the notorious hn'
press Dowager aud that the BLUSH
authorities are on his track, owing
to the kidapping OF wealthy Chi
nese merchant named Kwong Yu
Hoon who was temporarily residing
in Hongkong until spirited away TO
Canton two days ago. Various re-
ports are in circulation as TO how
Kwoug was induced to go up 10
Canton, but one that meets with
considerable credence is as follows;
Kwong, who has large business
in Yokohama and Canton, and has
business interests in Hongkong, ar
rived here recently from Yokohama,
Soon a blood relation Of his (some
say a cousin) called on him to invite
his cooperation in a mercantile VEN
ture in Canton. After lengthy dis
cussion Kwong agreed to go to Can
ton to settle details with proposed
partners and he accordingly left two
days ago in company with his cousin.
There we're, it appear, a number OF
Lo Hok Shan's men on board and as
soon as the unsuspecting kwong got
we'll on TO Chinese territory, in Can
ton, It is supposed he was seized
aud taken to the nearest prison but
up to now his actual whereabouts
cannot be discovered.
II seems the affair was reported to
the British authorities OF the Colony
who wired to theEBritish Consul at
Canton to board the steamer and
offer Kwong, protection. The con-
sui got on board the vessel but could
nyt find any trace OF Kwong. Then
the consul, it is said immedia-
tely sent a despatch to Ii Hung
chang, the Viceroy, requesting to
be promptly informed of the where
abouts of Kwong and the excuses, il
any, which be proposed to submit
in extenuation of such a glaring
breach of international usage. What
the Viceroy's reply was we have not
yet heard.
We hear that Lo Hok Shan is in
possession OF list of 1900 names OF
members of the Reform Party who
ar belieyed to he resident in Hon
koog, and that as trouble is brewing
ahead in respect of the capture of
Kwong he has been recalled to Can
ton, but left his distinguished aides
here.-Hongkoag Telegraph.

LONDON, April IA special dis
patch from Shanghai announces
that the American, British, French
aud German ministers have sent o
joint note to the Chinese Foreign
Office demanding the total suppress.
sion Of the society of Boxers
within two months and announcing
that otherwise the powers mention
ed will land troops and march into
the interior of the northern pro.

to secure the safety of foreigners.
According to the same Dispatch
the American, Italian and French
legations are now provided with
naval guards from the large gather
ing OF warships at Taku.
Liu Kun Yih, Viceroy Of Lang
Kiang. has had three audiences
with the Dowager Emprese relative
to the Emperor, aud it is believed
he has impressed her with the ad.
visibility of restoring his Majesty to
power.
WASHINGTON, April T.. 1t is said
at the State Department that the
last heard from Minister Conger Of
the United States within the last
few days WAS that there was no sub
stantial change in the situation in
China. The Minister has not in.
formed the department of the con-
certed action OF the powers reported
from Picking. 1t is said here that
30 far as the United States Minister
is concerned nothing has been done
to commit the United States Gov
ernment to action in combination
with the powers. Mr.. Conger's in
structions enabled him to make es
strong presentation as he may
deem necessary of the desire of his
Government that full protection
should be extended to American
residents in China. 1t was entirely
proper for him to couch this de.
mand in strong language and even
to intimate the intention of the
United States Government to un-
dertake through its own agencies to
supply the needed protection to our
citizens should the Chinese Govern
ment fail in its duty in that matter.
In doing this Mr.. Conger might
have acted in precisely the same
lins IS representatives of some OF
the great European powers at Pek-
ing, but the officials are confident
that he did not become a party to
any concert of action. The United
States Minister was specifically in
structed on this point that he must
act on his own responsibility, aud
while his course might lie parallel
to that followed by other Ministers
resident in PeBing, he must under
no circumstances join with them in
a concert.
Just how far the Minister has
gone in the direction indicated is at
present unknown here. The naval
officers do not believe that he has
yet summoned a naval force from
Admiral Watson's command to
guard his quarters at Peking, for in
such case, they assume, the naval
ommandAr addressed would have
notified the Navy Department by
cable. The Minister appears to
have anticipated the necessity for
of the kind, however, for
! month ago he suggested to the
State Department the expediercy

OUR TRUE DESTINY,

There is nothing impractical in Mr..
Bryans' earnestly expressed desire that
this nation shall in the future stand as
the arbiter and pencemaker among all
The nations, great and just Govern
ment in whose integrity and honesty OF
purpose warranted confidence.
Taking into consideration the prin.
cipales upon which the American Gov.
ornment was established, it's system un-
der which the people themselves govern
themselves, its legitimate and rig htful
control Of one-half the world, it's un-
Questioned ability to maintain its own
rights and those OF the weaker uations
so long nnder it's protection in this
hemisphere, it would indeed seem that
God has ordained just such a mission
for the United States as world power
That this is the real "munifest destiny"
Of his beloved country no thoughtful
American may well doubt.
It's significant also that the only
course necessary to the realization Of
Mr. Bryan's dream Of true American
greatness is a faithful American adher-
snce to the American doc.rines formu-
lated by those Of our greatest statesmen
who saw our destiny Alright. We are re-
mote from the qnarrels Of Europe. Our
arbiframent between Europesu nations
would be that OF government not
swayed by selfish considerations Of its
own. Our refusal TO abridge the libar-
ties or despoil the territory Of weaker
peoples where the temptation Of con-
quest and wider dominion was offered to
ourselves would testify to the sincerity
Of our professions fer the welfare of all
the world. Our creed OF devotion to
the rights OF man would entitle us.to the
love and respect Of all mankind and all
the governments established by man.
And, even seltishly speaking, there is no
truer glory or greater power than comes
from a universal regard thus created.
1t wonld be splendid thing at this
stage Of the worlds civilization il the
worlds greatest Government should
take this stand for humanity. for justice
and for universal peace. II ia the only
Government in all the WI rid in posi-
tion to take snch n stand. Its failure
to do SO. surrendering instead 10 the
cruel doctrines Of conquest and sub
jugatlon that have for SO long bathed
the world in blood, will retard civiliza.
ton for centuries to come. Our oppor-
tnnity is the greatest that has ever been
offered to n nation. Our dnty is equally
plain II we are still faithful to our Ma
tional creed. Mr.. Bryan has pointed out
the true "mnnitest destiny" OF the
United States Government.-Sr Louis
