1.-THE Reaf Chinese Question:" by
Chester Holcombc, ought to commend.
itsolf to, thetreadlng public at this time.
The author. Mr.. Iolcombe, was con-
nected, with the United States legation
at Pekln. as Interpreter and in other
capacities, from 1871 to 1886: and since
that time he has been connected with
extensive commercial and financial en-
terprlses In that country. In his new
book no deals with the peculiar charac-
ter and conditions Of the Chinese which
have produced the present uprising.
These people are devoted to all sorts OF
secret societies for social, political, phil
anthroplc-hnd other purposes, and every
Uprising and disturbance In modern
China has been brought about by such
an REORGANIZATION. The Chinese are
quiet and orderly us n rule. yet given
at times to cyclones OF. uncIplaInable
excitement, MS Ia the case at present.
