the powers are impossible for bhe Of
Tending nation. China can not meet
the moneyed indemnity of 5000, 900 900.
The wholesale slaughter of her high
officials she will certainly resent. The
logical outcome must be war And
war from the European point of view,
means dlsmemberment. AS to Chinas
financial status, before the wars with
Japan her yearly revenue was only
$66,000,000. Japan's war indemnity,
including payment for release of Lao
Tung, was less than $175,O00,0O0, and
China has since been barely able to
meet the interest on the foreign debt
thus created. The excessive nature of
the proposed demand is apparent when
1T is remembered that the entire ex-
ports of the empire for 1899 were
worth but $143,OOO,OOO.
1t is of moment that while the repre-
sentatves of the powers are holding
out for the further and wholesale ex-
ecution of officials and other vengeful
demands, and the Chinese Emperor is
trying to make his peace, the condition
of the country grows worse. Des-
patches from Vladivostock to st. Pet
eraburg report that the insurgent Chi
rese have destroyed railway property
in Manchuria valued at $1,000 900, an
ti-CAri9tian riots have broken out in
the Province of Kiang-Si, and the con-
tinued outrages of German soldiers
upon the natives to the southwest of
Peking have led the missionaries to in
tervene on their behalf with the auth
critics. A special despatch to the New
York Herald from Berlin notes the
publication by the Lokal Anzelger of
an interesting despatch showing that
arms and ammunition are being ship
ped by the Chinese from Nanking to
the interior, ostensibly, at least, for
use against the Boxers. The German
Consu General at at Shanghai accord
ing to this despatch, visited the Vice
roy at Marking and in the name of the
Kaiser offered money to this official |
and told him that he must not only |
stop the shipments of arms, but also |
the sending of food up the Yangtse for |
use of the Chinese Court
Commenting editorially upon the |
situation, the Herald cites the fact |
that all the powers are formally
pledged to maintain the integrity of

The resourceful Captain Leary sends
q fresh proclamation to the United
States on practically every vessel that
touches at his Pacific isle. Having re-
formed the church, the festivals and
the marital relations of inhabitants, his
latest act has been to abolish the peon.
age system which has prevailed In the
island from time immemorial. Captain
Leary, it seems, discovered that nearly
all the wealthy families and land
owners held In peonage, most OF their
servants and employees, the system be.
ing the same as that which prevails
throughout the Latina American coun.
tries. Under the Spanish laws mar
who owes money is obliged TO submit
to the control Of his creditor until Tho
debt is paid. Therefore, 1t was tn,
practice for employers To advance wage
until their men were unable to pay
aud ~ long as these debts and account
remaiped unpaid, the debtor was no
allowed 70 leave the employment Of hi
crsdltor without his formal write,
sooseat. This system was carried !,
such an extent that more than half tn,
population OF Guam was held PRACTICAL,
as slaves by the other half. The proc
