Doctor Allen, an American, Who
Is a Mandarin, Tells Reason
for Boxers Revolt.
THEY DESIRE NEW EMPEROR.
New Era of Advancement in Relig-
ion. Education and Commerce
Predicted as a Result of
the Uprising.

The Reverend Doctor Young j. Allen. an
American. who is a Chinese Mandarin and
has lived In China for more than fifty
years. told the Southern Methodist minis
ters at their meeting Monday that there
were personal reasons other than a general
hatred for foreigners behind the recent up
rising in the land of the yellow dragon.
The Dowager Empress. he said, is ex-
ceedingly anxious that the Tartar success
sion shall be perpetuated In the male line.
Deprived by circumstances of the possibili-
ty or u Tartar through the present Emper-
or. the thoughts OF the Empress and her
counselors turned to putting the Emperor
out of the way and replacing him with a
Prince. of whom more might be expected.
Incidentally. 1t was determined TO rid the
country Of all foreigners at whatever cost.
Then was called into requisitton the great
Boxer organization, which is a secret anti
foreign movement among the Chinese them
selves. Two circumstances brought mat
ters to focus. One was that in 1909 there
were two eighth months. and the other an
eclipse. both of which We're regarded as bad
omens for the Emperor
The uprising was booked for September.
the beginning of the second eighth month";
but the Boxers passed beyond control and
precipitated the conflict.
Doctor Allen said that when this stage
of affairs was reached. the Empress issued
an edict for the determination of all for
eigners. but that In the Southern and East
ern Provinces the Viceroys refused to pro-
mulgate this edict, and stood by their de-
olson all through the struggle.
Doctor Allen said that, in addition to the
causes just mentioned, the political and
commercial influences on the part of for
eign nations contributed not little to the
uprising. chief among which were the Oc-
cupation OF ports and Russia's course in
Manchuria.
In closing. Doctor Allen stated that the
outlook for China. from religious, education-
al and commercial standpoints, was never
so favorable as to-day.
In his opinion. much of the indemnity as
sessed by the Powers will be paid in the
form of commercial concessions reaching
u.fferent parts of the Empire. and the out
come will be that China will take forward |
leap educationally and religiously without a |
parallel in history. He said that. before he !
left Shanghai, there were marked indica- |
tions of such advancement and that, with |
the cooperation of the Emperor. which Is |
the reform will be general. Refer |
ence was also made to a large mass meet |
Ing OF Chinese in San Francisco shortly |
after his arrival there last week, when. |
in response to his suggestion to wealthy |

HURTFUL TO UNIONS.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Makes an Adverse Decision.

.AuNtISc DcClSlOu.
Philadelphia, Pc. April 15.-The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, in an opinion Nom
day. holds that members Of the American
Federation of Labor have no right to entice
apprentices working in factory to become
members of the Glassworkers' Union. The
case upon which the opinion is based is an
appeal Of P. ]. Skelly and others. members
ment Of the Allegheny County Court, re-
straining them from interfering with the
apprentices of Charles l.. Flaccus. glass
manufacturer of Tarentum. Pa.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal
at the cost of the members of the union.
The opinion says, among other things. that
the manufacturer had the right to employ
workmen who were Independent of any la
Dor union, and he had the further right to
adopt system of apprenticeship which ex-
cluded his apprentices from membership in
such unions. and no one had a right to in
terfere with 1t to his injury. The court
found that the interference was injurious
to him. and if allowed to continue would
ruin his business
