stock" says Mr.. 9. r. Grandin, the
popular druggists of Ontario, N. J.
''She was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation I could
recommend. / said to her that I could
freely recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy and that she could take
bottle Of the remedy and after giving
it fair trial if she did not find it worth
the money to bring back the bottle and
would refund the price paid. In the
course of a day or two the lady came
back in company with friend in need
of cough medicine and advised her
to buy a bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I consider that Q
very good recommendation for the
remedy" The remedy owes its great
popularity and extensive sale in 9

mendations Of people who have beer

as We're made for Kiauchau, one of the
reasons advanced being it's assistance
in protecting Manchuria; in other
words, for having driven out the Japs
in order THAI it be permitted to APP
propriate the same territory to itself
Being dominated by the Bear. poor,
harried China could do nothing else
than yield with the best grace possible
to her friend" from the Baltic sea.
When the tsung-H-yamen, or gov
erning power of China, looked to Eng
land for assistance, it received only the
assurance of her most distinguished
consideration. Great Britain had re-
fused to join with Russia, France and
Germany in demanding the withdrawal
of the Japs and insisted that she want
ed no share in the spoils. But, finding
1T impossible to keep Russia out Of
China, either by diplomacy or by show
of force, England concluded that the
next best thing would be to take what
she could get, lest the time should come
when there would not be anything to
take. And so, protesting she would
ne'er consent" she consented to accept
a lease of Wei ai-Wei as a military
harbor upon its evacuation by the Japa-
nese. f
Was it by chance merely that, while
Russia secured the best port on the ex-

fact, she has been already, almost, in
effect, with this chain of foreign naval
stations and treaty ports extending
from Korea in the north to Anam in
the south.
When the last great scramble shall
take place and the master of ceremo-
MES shall say. Gentlemen, the tree is
about to be shaken; step up and pick
out your plum" the actual apportion-
ment of the empire will be a compare
lively simple matter. It may then APP
pear that at least once in his long ca
reer of triumphant mendacity, agrees
siveness and oppression the Great White
Car will find himself mistaken, and
that he will regret having called for
the intervention of the powers, which,
as the whole world knows, was mot de-
signed to preserve the integrity of Chi
ma SO much as to keep the door of the
Pacific open to Russia
How closely these matters concern
the United States is seen when one
considers our position in the Philip
pines, the rapid development of Amer
lean trade with China during the past
decade and the fact that the Russian
national genius and system are so di-
ametrically opposed to the American

other ports, by right OF conquest. those
of Port Arthur and Wei Hal Wei, which
guard the entrance to the great gulf of
Pechili, in the blight of which lies Tien-
tsin, the gateway of Picking. But, ow-
ing to the protests of Russia, backed by
France and Germany, the Japanese
We're deprived of their hard won pos
sessions on the mainland on the plea
that they would be a constant menace
to Picking and to the independence of
Korea and therefore detrimental to the
peace of Europe. This was the sharp
edge of Russian diplomacy, and when
once entered it was driven home with
sledge hammer blows. When at last a
Russian ultimatum seemed imminent
the Japanese consented to evacuate the
Liaotung peninsula, as compensation
for it's retrocession demanding 100000,
900 taels and the island of Formosa.
Where the carcass is there the vul-
lures gather. The Germans were look
ing for a naval station on the Yellow
sea, in the Shangtung peninsula, when
two German Catholic missionaries We're
brutally murdered by a Chinese mob
with sufficient official encourag cement to
make the matter of International irn-
portance.
Not long after Admiral Diederichs, of
subsequent Manila fame. sailed, with

three warships, into the harbor of
Kiauchau and sent word to the won
dering commander Of the Chinese gar
rison that he had come to obtain salts
faction for the murder of the mission
aries and intended to occupy the forts
at once. This he did by landing 600
marines, who ran UP the German flag
and soon after went into winter quar-
tiers. Meanwhile reenforcements We're
sent under Prince Henry, who came out
with the kaiser's parting words as to
the efficacy of the mailed fist" ringing
in his ears and was received by the Chi
nese emperor and dowager empress
without being obliged to 'kowtow' to
royalty. In compensation for the mis-
sionary outrage Germany secured a
lease of Kiauchau for SO years, and the
killing of German sentry soon after
enabled her to obtain railroad conces-
sion of TOO miles through country rich
in coalfields.
The old time rate of compensation of
IAN eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth" seems to have been revised up
to date as "a port for a missionary and
a railroad concession for a soldier" On
terms similar or pretenses equally eff
cacious the other powers Joined in the
scramble for Chinese territory until
at the present time there remains no
nation of Europe of any consequence
as a military power that has not Sc
cured it's portion.
In March, 1898, after the conclusion
Of the Anglo German loan, Russia made
a peremptory demand upon China for
the cession of Port Arthur and the near
harbor of Talienwan on the same terms

treme north coast Of China, her friend
and ally, France, insisted upon having
naval base and station at Kiungchow
and the island of Hainan, at the most
southern point? Between the two, at all
events, they command the situation so
far as bases for the assembling of fleets
and forces for the invasion of China
are concerned.
And SO it went, for it seemed that
China now could find no nation so poor
as to do her reverence. AS counter
balance to the French concessions of
territory SO perilously near to Hong
kong, John Bull demanded and received
an extension on the land side of the is
land for his military necessities and
industrial expansion" Then, again, lit
tie Japan came back with a claim to
the Chinese coast opposite Formosa, or
at least a pledge that it should never
be alienated to a foreign power, fearing
France as an ally of Russia, and just
ly, too, as recent events have demon
strated.
The partition Of China, indeed, as Sir
Charles Beresford has pointed out, has
proceeded quite far already, for if the
subject be hastily reviewed it will be
seen that
First, Japan took Formosa by right
of conquest in 1895.
Second. Germany helped herself to
Kiauchau in 1897.
Third, Russia stole Port Arthur and
Talienwan in March, 1898.
Fourth, Great Britain ''sorrowfully
accepted" Wei-Hai-Wei and a slice of
the mainland opposite Hongkong.

whose superstitious prejudices We're
played upon by the educated classes.
The restless revolutionists. always
ready to rise in China. took the field
against those they called the common
enemy. Like a great python disturbed
in its sleep, the vast network of secret
societies upheaved its bulk and over
turned the disjointed social system.
The missionaries, as representing the
foreign devils most conspicuously,
were naturally the first objects of at
tack.
The governors Of provinces and
groups of district officials are semi-in-
