New York. May 29-ln discussing the
Boxer" movement. the Rev Isaac Tay-
Tor Headland, professor IN the Univer-
slty Of Picking. who left Picking on
March Z. and Is now IN New York, takes
a somewhat peculiar view Of us ORR

The French catholic priests are The

made Chinese officials Of defined rank,
whose business Il Is 10 decide cases OF
litigation between Chinese Christians
and outside Chinese. when a catholic
priest enters a Chinese court, IL he OUT

matter II he undeuanks him, the in
huence OF his official rank amounts 10
about the same thing.
1T is apparent TO the authorities mat
Russia does not propose 20 be behind
hand IN any move looking TO the dis
memherment OF the empire and 10 would
not be- surprising II some day the world
should wake up TO ind that Russia had
quietly annexed northern China. Such
action would probably be precipltated
by the landing OF foreign troops which
would be made the excuse for IL. 10
is known here that Russia did not
join with the other powers Of Europe
In making representations 20 the Pc
King government with respect 20 the
Boxers movement, basing her refusal
upon the fact that she Is an Asiatic
power The natural result Of her re-
fusa has been 20 increase her influence

The Chinese charge that the priests
procure decisions in favor Of the French
Catholics through their influence, ir-
respective Of the merits OF the case.
This has been going on for a long time
and the irritation caused by IL has re-
suited at last In the Chinese forming
the secret societies called Boxers. This
