cHINA,s SECRET SOCIETIES.
The Leading Men Are Those who
Have been disappointed in
Trying to Obtain once.

The most important of those soci6N
ties are known under the names of the
Trinity" the "Poignard," the "Pure
Tea" the "Knife's Sect" the "Yem-
phar" and the most widely spread
among the cultured classes is called
Heaven, Earth, Man" says Paris paa
per.
The society of the Boxers is branch
from the "Closed Hand" and they
must have been called so by some Eng
lish sporting men residing in China.
The mother society is one of those inc
Vulnerable associations which exist in
the Celestial empire, as there existed
in Spain the "Black Hand in Italy
the "Carbonari," the "Mafia, the
"Camorra," etc. China, with its dense
population and democratic regime, is
a benighted land for such associations.
They disguise themselves under all
kinds of iuoffensive appearances, phi
lanthropic, phiIosophic or utilitarian.
Thus the CLOSED Hand claims to be
merely gymnastic association, with
out any religious or philosophic tend
eHCleS, III aims at IdCc war, war
of revenge, against the Manchus the
conquerors of China. But its branch,
the Boxers, leaves to the future the
settlement of that question, and aims
at the destruction of the Europeans,
whose intiltration into China is of
more recent date and is sure, if unre-
stricted, to absorb and conquer peace
fully the Chinese race as thoroughly
as it has been subjugated by the Nam
chus.
These associations include all the
disappointed men who have passed
those examinations without which no
office can be obtained in China, but
which do not guarantee the holding
of such Offices, for there are more ap-
plicants than places. 1nese are at the
head of most of the secret societies.
They teach to the uneducatcd mem
bers that the invasion of foreigners
has caused the misery and want OF
work recently so prevalent IN China.

A STORY OF "BoBs."
The British Commander Teaches a

Lord Roberts entry into Johannes
burg was spectacle to be remen-
bered by all who beheld it. Soon aft
er ten o'clock he and his staff moved
from camp, followed by the guards
and Stevenson's brigade, together
with q few correspondents.
After formally accepting the sur
render of the town Lord Roberts left
the building and remounted his
charger, and proceeded with the next
ceremony, which was the hauling
down of the Transyaal flag.
More than one spectator among the
rugged burghers standing around APP
peared touched to the heart when the
Vierkleur was lowered. saw tears
streaming down the face of one man
as he looked on at the loss of all he
had been fighting for during many
weary months,
While the national anthem was be-
ing played tall Free Slater, an ar
tillerist, refused TO move his hat,
and q fellow spectator, small, stunt

whereupon British soldier standing
near pushed the aggressor away, say
ing: Leave him alone, He fought
for his flag. You fought for none
Lord Roberts took up his quarters
in small inn, with the sign "Orange
Grove"
Early in the evening, soon after
the field marshal reached his quarters
one of the officers of his staff ap-
preached him in order to discuss Il
matter of importance. He found t5c

GRANTS TO FOREIGN POWERS.
The Liberal Territorial Cessions
China Has Made from Time
to Time.

Each conflict in which China has en-.
gagged has resulted in loss of terri
tory. The principal cessions made by
the Mongol government as the price of
peace have been the following: The
island of Formosa was ceded to Japan
in 1895, after the war with China. In
1897 Germany seized the port of Kiou-
Chou or the east coast of the Shantung
peninsula. her excuse for so doing be.
ing massacre of missionaries which
had taken place there. Two months
later she received from China 99-year
lease of the port and district. In 1898
Russia obtained from China 25-year
lease of Port Arthur, Ta,ienwan and
their adjacent territories and waters
The lease can be extended by mutual
agreement. The same year the Chinese
government gave permission for Great
Britain to occupy Wei-Hai-Wei for as
long a period as Russia shall hold Port
Arthur. To compensate France for
the concessions given TO Great Britain
and Russia a 99-year lease was given
her of The bay of Kwang Ctau-Wan, on
!he coast opposite the island O., Human,
ond last year two islands ~ the en-
ttnnce of he bay were definitely cedcd
to her. Hong-KopR was ceded to Great
Britain in 1871.
