A Chinese View of the Chinese.

An ed'fylng interview with the
Chinese minister in Paris was pub
lished Wednesday by the Matin and
cabled to The Record. Yu Keng says
things about his government and
his people quite as severe as the
worst that has been said by anyone
else since the outbreak of hostilities.
Bad faith, falsehood, deceit. are
simple things 10 China, according
to this eminent representative OF
the Chinese.
Yu Keng warns the powers that
their conditions for peace are but
wordsand of little value, because
they cannot enforce the conditions
even when they are accepted. He
calls Ii Hung Chang and his col
leagues pretended plenipotent-
iaries.'' Some of, the phrases in
which he speaks of them are enlight-
ening, to say the least. "They can
do nothing except intrigue and lie
to gain time and save their heads if
they can. If they resist they are
useless and they expose themselves
to reprisals by the powers. lfthey
give in, and If the empress still
holds one scrap of her power, their
fate is sealed. As to the guilty
princes, they will never be execut
ed except by telegram, just as some
have already been exiled or rep
resented as suicides, and who are
quite alive and still possess their dis
astrous influence" Like other
Chinese reformers, Yu Keng insists
that the proper solution of the
whole question is for the powers to
place the emperor on the throne
land deliver him forever from the
disastrous influence of the empress"
He assures the powers that they will
find the emperor their faithful aux
ilary in the regeneration of China
Some of the things pointed out by
the Chinese minister in Paris have
been pointed out before this by less
conspicuous personages, apparently
only to be forgotten 10 the negotla'
tions, Until recently the ellmina
tion of the empress as II power in
the Chinese government was con.
sidered q prime necessity for an as
surance of genuine reform. Now,
however, it has begun to look as il
the same intolerable government is
to be restored to power, immune ex.
cept for fine,, which the people
and not the rulers will have to pay,
and the punishment of host of Of
tending authorities which may be
bona fide but probably will not be.
China IS far away and obscure to
the best of our diplomats. The
promise of punishment may be kept,
but in oriental countries it easy to
employ substitutes even for decap'
itation.

New that Mckinley is elected we
hope soon to hear an official an.
nouncement that the war in the
Philippine Islands IS over, and that
the army will be reduced to peace
footing. The republican papers and
orators during the recent campaign
insisted that the continuance of the
struggle by the FiIipinos was based
on the hope of Bryan's success.
They blamed they democrats for
making it necessary to maintaio q

She surprised everybody by riding out
the gale near Handkerchief shoai, but
put back to Vineyard Haven leaking and
with several sails gone. She was toaed
to Ellsworth, arriving here last Wednes-
day. The vessel will be hauled up here
this winter and delivered to her new
owner in the spring.

Netv YORK Sun.
We respectfully call the attention of
Mr.. Bryan, both as a statesman and as
a lawyer, to a remarkable classification
contained in statute of the United
States passed by the Eighth Congress
and approved on March 9TH, 1904.
The act in question specifically di-
vided all territory under the Flag and
sovereignty of the United States into
three classes, as follows:
l. States OF the Union.
2. Territories of the United States.
8. Countries subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States.
The Congress which enacted this i'm
perialistic classification was providing
at the time for the authorization Of
local acts or public records introduced
as evidence in the Federal Courts and
in all other Courts within the United
States. The second section of the act
was as follows:
Gail the provisions of this act, and
the act to which IL is a supplement,
shall apply as we'll to the public acts,
records, office books, judicial proceed
ings, Courts and Offices of the re-
spective territories of the United States,
and countries subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, as to the pub
lie acts, records, office books, judicial
proceedings, Courts and offices of the
several states"
Here Is a distinct recognition of "Im-
perialism;" designation of successive
grades of United States territory, from
the subject country up to the state in
full membership; a framework for a
system of outlying possessions, colo
MES, provinces, or whatever you please.
1t is still the law Of the land. The
classification was preserved in the re-
vision of the statutes in 1873 by the I'm
perialists of the Forty-third Congress.
Mr.. Bryan will find on page III of his
copy of the Revised Statutes:
