When the Boxers We're out of the city

Tien-tsin with an urgent appeal for

a fair specimen of the way that the
Boxers have been allowed to gain
strength at all prominent points in

CURIOUS CHINESE NAMES.
Meaning of Some Printed In tn
Newspapers.

Meaning of Some Printed In the
Newspapers.
The mysterious names appearing in
the Chinese dispatches become familiar
enough when translated. says Leslie's
Weekly, thus: Hun means east; 81,
west; nan, south; pei, north; while
tsin, kin or king stands for capital or
metropolis. as in Picking (northern
capital, and Nankin (southern captal).
Tien means heaven, so Tien-tsin signi-
fies heavenly metropolis. Ho or kiang
means river, so Pei-ho is north river;
Si-kiang, west river. Che means seven,
so Che-kiang is seven rivers. Shan is
mountain. and Shantung, east noun
tain. and Shan-si west mountain. Pal
is white. and Pai-shan, white noun
tain. Hal is sea. and kwan stands for
gate, so Hai-kwan the maritime GUS
toms is gate of the sea, and Shan hal
kwan, mountain and sea gate. Shang
is city, and Shanghai, city by the sea.
Hoang is yellow; Hoang-Ho, yellow
river, and HoangHai, yellow sea.
Yang means ocean, and tse, son; hence
the Yang-tse river is son of the ocean
and Tien-tse, son Of heaven (the en-
peror).
Ku or kow is mouth or pass, and ia,
big or great, so Ta-ku means big mouth
(of Pei-Ho>, while Nan-kow stands for
south pass (from Mongolia). HUI is a
lake; ling, hill; hsiang, a village
hsien, a tax district. Flu is a prefec.
ture; tai, governor; tao, circuit OF
group of administrative departments
| so tao-tai is governor of circuit, and
fu-tai is governor of prefecture
Chao ior kiao is bridge; Ii, Chinese
mile; pa, eight, and thus Pa-li-kiao is
the eight mile bridge. Che or chow is
a depot or stopping place; hence Tung
chow, eastern depot of Peking). She1
is a province, and Shen-si is the west
ern province. Yamen is police sta
| ton or official residence, and Hui, a Sc
cret society or club. Using means pure
or clear, so Ts'ing-kiang is clear river

pure (China). Ia Mei-Ka is the nam

ANOTHER FILIPINO STORY

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota,
one of the most rabid of the anti-imper-
ialists in congress, last week gave to
the press copy OF letter which pur-
ports to have been written to
him by one General j. llejan-

recently surrendered to the American

to have been present at an interview
with Admiral Dewey on the Olympia
