kidnapping in Canton.

Last year, a kidnapper named
Leung All Lung, an old soldier OF
the Nam Hoi Magistrate, was cap
tured and executed in Canton.
The man used to kidnap women
and girls, and afterwards export
them to Singapore, AMMAN, and
other places. Up to the time when
the man was arrested, no less than a
thousand women and children had
been kidnapped by him. Not long
after the man was executed, another
man, a retired officer of the Pun Yu
Magistrate, started that trade again.
He enlarged on the business of his
predecessor, and enrolled large
body of kidnappers, either to kid
nap, take by force, or purchase
females in the West, Kwong, SEE
and Ko Lu. etc.
The kidnappers' camps we're erect
ed amongst the boatmens' matsheds
in Sal Kai, where the captured
women were on sale.
Owing to the desperate character
of this man people, although well
aware of his proceedings, dare not
take any action, until the LIST in
slant, when he kidnapped several
women from Kwong SEE. The
night before he prepared to export
them, they all but one escaped, dur
ing the ebb OF the tide, when it was
possible to cross the river on foot
One woman who had her feet bound,
was unable to escape, and was re-
captured by the kidnapper, while
those (6ve) who escaped managed
to get ashore and went to a club
known as the Bat Kai Wal Koon,
where man was in readiness to take
them to his own house. When the kid
nspper discovered the escape, he
offered large sum to the man to
recover his victims, but he refused
and reported the matter to an officer
who petitioned the Chung aud
Kwong Hips. A party of soldiers
we're sent out from that regiment to
arrest the ringleader. But the gang
had evidently been forewarned, and
escaped before the soldiers arrived.
They however managed to capture
one of the kidnappers, and took
charge OF several women.
They were all taken back to the
Yamen to await further equity

pnprIAIInN OF CITIES.

The population OF the United States,
according to the census of 1890. was
s., 622, $50. According to the figures of
the ensus taken this year. as computed
and estimated to date, the population
Is 75.77s,00. This shows an increase
during the decade from 1890 to 1900 Of
49, 55, $50. or about 20 per cent.
The increase has taken place almost
entirely in the cities Of the country.
Four cities in New England show an
average increase of "a per cent five
IN New York. 25 per cent, four In New
Jersey, 30 per cent; -four In Pennsyl-
vania, "a per cent, and Eve In Illinois,
81 per cent. 1t IL said that the mid
Atlantic states did not show such large
accretions in municipal population, but
every state shows an average increase
except Iowa and Nebraska, in some Of
whose towns there has been an actual
loss.
This ls the same nj phenomena
that was observable in 1890. The popu-
lation OF the cities of the country Is in
~creasing at an enormous rate, while
the rural districts are either stationary
or on the decline. What this argue
need not be discussed, since nothing
that could be said would restrain the
movement or in any way prevent IT.
The fact Is, the people Of the United
States are abandoning agriculture and
agricultural pursuits and crOwding Into
the cities for the purpose Of studying
the tricks OF commerce.
The sign Is a bad one. and II legisla-
ton can arrest the tendency, some
statesman ought to arise Immediately
and propose Il.

THE FLAG

The American people are profoundly
grateful to the soldiers, sailors and ma
who have in every time Of conflict
fought their country's battles and de-
Tended its honor. The survivors and the
widows and orphans OF those who have
arc justly entitled to receive the just
and considerate care of the nation. Few
are now left of those who fought in the
Mexican war, and while many of the
veterans of the civil war are stlll spared
10 us. their numbers are rapidly d.
mlnlshing. and age and infrmity are
increasing the dependence. These, with
the soldiers of the Spanish war will not
be neglected by ,heir grateful country
men. The pension laws have been lib
cral. They should be justly admins
tered and will be. Preference should be
given to the soldiers. sailors and ma
rines. their widows and orphans with
respect to employment in the public
