Guy Maine, who is in close touch with
the Chinese thousands in New York,
says: IF the apathy which for ages has
kept the Chinaman from taking an inter
est in his Government and from looking
beyond his own door is broken by the
present rebellion, which gives promise
now of stirring up the whole empire, the
curse Of China will be removed. The one
idea instilled into every Chinaman is,
Mind your own business Kock gar che
SO mon chin suit mok kwon tar yam oak
shung, is a religious tenet. Let each
family sweep off his own front stoop;
don't mind the ice on your neighbours
roof-top' What's the differenceT q
Chinaman will say if he hears of any
thing amss with his Government; it
isn't my affair That attitude Of mind is
responsible for the natives lack OF self

who is perhaps better known as the
chairman of the Democratic national

Francisco, a diplomat only second in inn
portance in this country to the Chinese
minister in Washington, says of the Chin
csc: THE Chinese are well armed They
are well supplied with weapons of the lat
est pattern, many Of them manufactured
in our own great arsenals Shantung

physique and stature. This province could
probably place in the field large force,
all closely approaching or exceeding six
feet in height. Whatever China may

Minister WI has revised his opinion OF
the 'foca disturbances" in China. He

completely tied They are unable to han

send to attack them become dissatisfied,
or are already so for some reason, and de-
sert to the enemies OF the Government.
What could one possibly do under the
circumstances? ! am deeply grieyed, and
most sincerely trust that the information
contained In the press dispatches is not
true. II it should prove to be 80 my
