NRO TIE BOXER" ARE
WA3ASHA STREET MERCHANT
THROWS SOME LIGHT ON
CHINESE REBELLION
LOVE FOR DowAGER EMPRESS
1t Is Lessened by Suspi-
ciOn That She Is Not
Loyal to Chinese
Unity.

Hong Gin Laung. Chinese merchant
on Wabasha street, throws considerable
light upon the situation in China, in an
interview with Globe reporter yester-
day Mr.. Laung has been in business in
this city as the proprietor of Chinese
novelty establishment for five years, and
has within two years made a trip to his
native land.
He has kept close watch of affairs in
China through the medium of the news
papers and correspondence with relatives
on the other side. He said:
1T might be well for me to explain
to the newspapers that the Boxers in
China are members of a fraternal So
ciety like the Woodmen or the Masons
in the United States. The Boxers op-
pose the division of China among the
powers and have strong antipathy to-
ward foreigners. They are misunder-
stood, however, by many as wanting
Chinese ports closed to foreign trade.
On the other hand, they are perfectly
willing to have the American or foreign
trade of any kind, but want the empire
to remain intact The dowager empress,
however, stands in, as you Americans
makes great pretenses at hating foreign
ers, she is credited by the boxers with
being in league with the powers. She is
supposed to believe that if she consents
to the division of China she will be given
more power than she now has. Her hold
in China seems to be very firm, but it
will not last. The boxers oppose her.
She is opposed to the new system Of laws
which has been adopted that are in every
respect more liberal and broad than
those of the past The boxers favor these
laws.
Hundreds and thousands Of Cinnamon
are receiving educations every year, and
those who visit the United States go
back and report the methods Of govern
ment in this country. 1t is a fact that
is not generally known that the new sys-
tenn of laws and taxation in China are
in a measure similar to the laws in this
country. These laws are upheld by the
boxers.
China is approaching new era in her
history that will be welcomed by every
educated Cinnamon, but whether it will
live through the change without being di-
-,ided can only be seen as time passes

TO TIE HIGHEST COURT
APPEAL is TAKEN IN THE GOOD
SHOT MURDER CASE.

The case of Good Shot, an Indian, VS..
The United States, which was submitted
on brief by plaintiff IN error on merits
and motion to dismiss to the United
States circuit court of appeals, has been
certified to the supreme court of the
United States.
This court will be called upon to de-
eide whether or not an Indian can be SEN
fenced for murder under the law of 1897
which gives juries in reservation cases the
option of convicting and then specifying
that the death penalty is not to be in
ficted. 1t is claimed that this feature null
lifies the law.
Good Shot, Sioux Indian. is now serv-
ing life sentence under such a conYic-
ton for the murder of his wife on the
Pine Ridge reservation, in January, 1899
The matter was submitted to the court
of appeals, with the understanding that
it would eventually go up.

FAVOR ARBITRATION
Latin-Am orleans Vote to Make
1t Compulsory.
SOUTHERN REPUBLICS At ODDS.
Wis Movement at the Recent Com
grcss In Madrid May Check the
Widespread WnrIil<c
Movement.

WASIIINGTON, Nov. 2G.-Dispatch-
es from Madrid received in official diplo-
matte quarters here make the first an
nounccmcnt that in the debates before
the Latin American congress, whose Sos
sions have just been concluded, the prin
ciple of compulsory arbitration urged by
the Peruvian delegates has been by al
most unanimous vote adopted, Chile alone
holding out and protesting against the ac-
ton taken. The decision not only favors
compulsory arbitration in disputes he
tween the American republics, but also
provides that guarantees shall be given
for the faithful performance Of the con
illusions reached by the arbitration tii
bunal.
Aside from the Immediate question in
volved, the decision of the congress is
regarded in South American quarters as
significant of the alignment of the south
ern republics on the increasing differ
enccs which have arisen of late and
which are threatening to bring about Il
general crisis involving most, if not all,
of the South American countries Scv
eral events have occurred recently inli-
eating widespread movement. Peru has
been making desperate efforts to regain
her provinces of Tacna and africa, which
are IL sort of border hostage held for the
last ten years by Chile Bolivia is in
volvcd in the same controversy. as she
has lost her scacoast to Chile and is now
seeking to save part of it. The latter
question was rcccitly brought to a direct
issue by the presentation of n demand
from Chile, generally construed as an ul-
timatum, requiring Bolivia to publicly ac-
know ledge by treaty the sovereignty of
Chile over the seacoast in question.
About a month ago Chile adopted the
compulsory military system, under which
every male citizen on reaching the age IF
10 years must serve rs Il soldier This
has caused widesprcad' concern in South
America and has led other countries 10
take steps toward similar military equip
ment. Ecuador has declared its purpose
of adopting a system like that Of Chile,
and Peru, which now has only 1000 sol
dicrs, has taken steps to have a general
enlistment in its national guard.
But the chief concern has been express
ed in Argentina and Brazil, as it is the
feeling in those countries that the power
full ornaments of chile are not required
against such enfeebled states as Peru,
Bolivia, Ecuador and the other northern
republics, but will be used against Chile )
more powerful neighbors in the south.
Argentina and Chile are separated 10y
long boundary line, which is now in dis
pute.
The presidents of Brazil and Argen-
tina have exchanged visits, and during
the stay of President Campos-Salcs at
Bucnos Ayres recently consideration was
given to united action on some of these
pending South American controversies.
