MODERN ARMS IN CHINA.

Nothing caused the English people more
horror and disnay than the fact that the
Transvaal had long been preparing for the
war. and when 1t finally came. was armed
with up-to-date weapons and an ample sup
ply of ammunition. A similar state OF horri-
fed surprise exists in Russia to-day. where
the people are just beginning 10 find out
that the tame yellow OK that the Russian
diplomats were preparing to lead to the
slaughter so soon, has for a long time been
laying In supplies that Will make that rit-
nal sacrifice c more difficult undertaking
than has been expected.
IL is certain that China has Krupp can
non and Maxim rarid-iring guns. and the
fearful execution that these weapons can
give has been brought home TO the A,neri-
cans by the recent attack on Ten Tsin
"A correspondent Of the New York Times
from 81. Petersburg says that II is certain
that the foreign diplomatic agents at Pelin
have for long time known that China was
preparing for war on an extensive SCALE
but they believed that these preparations
were aimed at the Japanese and were not
meant for the foreigners. How bitter must
the awakening have been Of the German
end Russian Ministers, who. according 10
all accounts, have suffered cruel and i1hu-
man deaths The fate of Sir Claude Nc
donald, The British Minister, is stin in
doubt
How long viii it be before the civilized
nations Of the world find out that The in
ferior races can learn the art Of shooting
gun, and can see the wisdom of buying
good guns, long before they see the force
of the diplomatic representations made 10
them by the agents OF the various nations.
1t is a proposition too simple to be dis
cussed from the Chinese point of view,
that the best thing 10 do with the foreign
devil is to put him out of the country
first. and then settle whether the European
civilization is worth undertaking or not, and
tt the Chineses have guns enough and am
ununition enough they vii! certainly give
their belief some weight before they finish

CAN ENGLAND FURNISH 100000
EAST INDIAN TROOPS2

kilograms from London said recently
that England would have to send one hun
dred thousand troops to China if the pres
ent Boxer rebellion was TO be successfully
put down. Now, where can that number
of British troops be obtained? There are
to-day lighting the Beers in South Africa
Goout z quarter Of million Of soldiers
wearing the British uniform and fighting
under The British flag. But a great num-
Der of these troops are men who have
been sent from the Colonies, or volunteers
and reserves that are drawn from the
working classes OF England for special SER
vice. The total number Of men in the
British army quartered in England on
January 1st, 1899, was 10G,6S6. The total
Colonies was IL, 165 This gives general
total for tho British army of 231, S51 Off
GERS and men. If We include in addition to
the regular forces at homo and in the
Colonies the Army Reserves of the First
Glass. the Militia Yoemanry and the Vol
unteers, we find that the British army
foots UP the effective total of SELLS. but
great number of these men would be ut
teriy useless for service in China, even if
they could be called out Ii has. however,
draw on the native troops in India for use
against the yellow rioters in China, which
could not be done in South Africa, for the
whole civilized world would revolt at the
idea Of a Sikh or Goorlzha regiment shoot
ing down the white Beers in the Trans
wal. Let US sec what possibilities India
has that have not yet been drawn upon.
The native army Of India, including E,u-
ropean officers. native officers and privates
OF the Cavalry, Artillery, tSappers and Min
ers and Infantry amounts to 1860 men.
The total European army in India, inciud-
ing the staff corps and tIe general list of
cavalry and infantry and general officers
unemployed, amounts to 74,2Ss. Many of
this number have already been sent to
South Africa, and the controlling and po-
Icing Of India is now largely in the hands
OF native troops.
Can England afford 10 take 10000 native
troops to China and leave a country with
forty thousand troops, for we must never
forget that tho fundamental basis of Brit
ism power in India is brute force? An army
OF 25Gco, such as we have in America, is
all sufficient for our needs in furnishing
two or three sentries to walk in front Of
the White House, some artillery for our
coast defenses and some Regiments to
chase bad Indians in the Rocky Mountains.
because this government rests upon the
7 consent of the governed: but in India,
where the consent of the governed is
neither asked nor needed, we think it very
doubtful that Great Britain will send any
considerable number of native troops, no
matter how badly they may be needed for
the present disturbances in China.

Some fifteen years ago Kansas was re-

desired 10 make fortunes rapidly by tilling

thousands OF farmers with their wives and
families and also there was present the
agent OF the capitalist who desired to lend
money on Kansas lands at per cent The
money was lent in large quantities al a
high rate of interest, and the Kansas farm
er. with the simplicity of an Oriental, re-
garded the mortgage as a sale. and in

pEKIN 1860 AND IN 1900.

In October, 1856, a Chinese pirate vessel
named the Arrow, flying the British flag,
was boarded by Chinese officer, who
alleged to be pirates This occurred in
tho Canton River The British Consul at
Canton, Mr.. Parkes, demanded tho instant
release OF the men taken from the Arrow,
and an apology. Governor Yeh, of Canton,
said that ne was perfectly willing 70 do what
was right, but as matter of fact, the
vessel was a pirate vessel, and he would
not agree never 10 attack pirate vessel
again. Thereupon the offices of Sir John
Bowrins, Minister Plenipotentiary at Hong
Kong, were called into requistion Sir
John Bowrlng lost his head, and demanded
that ali the men taken from the Arrow be
restored to tn. British Consul, and that
an apology should be offered for their
arrest and a formal pledge be given that
no such act should ever be committed
again, and if this were not done within
forty-e:ght hours he threatened to bonn
bard Canton.
Governor Yeh stood his ground and said
that he could not apologize for dong what
was in his legal right, but he would prom
:se never to attack any British ships. Ihis
was not what Sir Jciln wanted. 1t is
matter OF historical fact, however, that the
Arrow was Chinese pirate vessel, ana
not British vessel. Accordingly, Sir
John very fooiishly carried cut his threat,
and Canton was hombarded from October
sd to November 18th. This action was
much deplored. In the British House Of
Lords, Lord Derby offered q motion con-
delnnins the whole proceedings, which mo-
ton was defeated. In the House OF Com
mons Mr. Golden and Mr.. Bright intro
duceG a motion to the same effect. which
was Overwhelmingly carried. Lord Palmer
s.on thereupon resigned, and on appealing
10 the country, was triumphantiy returned,
while Mr.. Golden and Mr.. Bright and
many others of the opponents of the
Chinese policy lost their seats.
Thereafter Great Britain and France
Joined together against China. among their
objects being to obtain the right of having
the Christian religion taught. of being all
lowed to keep diplomatic representatives
in Pekin. and to secure from China diplo-
matte representatives at Paris and London.
This treaty was agreed to, and the British
understood that 1t was to be formally rat-
fed by the Chinese authorities at Pekin.
The treaty was drawn up in June, 1858, and
in March. 1853. Mr.. Frederick Bruce. the
brother of Lord Eisin. who negotiated the
treaty. Mas sent back 10 China TO have
