Chinese Gordon's Prophesy,
Remarkable Forecast 20 Years Ago Of
Present Events in China,

There was probably no European
more qualified to express an opinion
on the Chinese than Col. Gordon, more
commonly called Chinese Gordon,
whose strange career closed at Khar-
toum in January, 1885. His military
association with them during the two
years from 1863 to 1865, when he COM
manded the Ever Victorious Army,
as it was styled, gave him unique ex-
perience OF the Chinese and an in
sight into their somewhat complex
character.
In 1880 Gordon said of the Chinese
that they had no fear Of death, though
he had seen them at times fleeing like
sheep. But what Europeans would
have to consider in future dealings
with that people was, he added, the
awful consequences of general move
ment, when least expected, in the vast
inert masses of hundreds of millions
of men to overWhelm the foreign dew
lis, whom they hate like poison.
The danger of such an outburst,
Gordon said, became greater every
year on account of the way the Chi
nese were being harassed by the Eu-
ropean states with demands for COM
ipensahions, in some cases just, in
Others quite frivolous. When they
saw that their only means Of meeting
the aggressions was to organize an
army with improved weapons, then
they would buy guns and rifles and
ships, and with thg aid of Europeans,
who would always be found ready to
drill and organize them, they would
create a formidable army

mon with the civilized powers, and her
leaders are shrewd enough to know
that she has nothing to expect from
the white races. The Japanese are
Mongolians and they would naturally
be more inclined toward people Of
their own race and color, like the
Chinese, than toward the whites. They
might fight among themselves, but in
common cause against people of an
other race and color they would be
found shoulder to shoulder. Japan,
too, is ambitious, and she has hatred
OF the powers for their action in de-
priving her of what she believed was
her fruits Of victory in the war against
emma. 1t is an open secret that the
leading statesmen of China and Japan,
believe that the yellow race should
control the continent of Asia. Should
1T ever attain this power then the
threatening moment will have ar
rived. Then the yellow race will be
arrayed against the white.
The power of a united yellow race Is
not fully realized, and the danger
which it would threaten is by no
means imaginary. It is real and its
reality is appalling. It would combine
more than one-third of the population
of the earth and could put 50,00o,0O0
soldiers in the field. The measure Of
these soldiers should not be taken by
the fighting qualities shown by the
Chinese during the Chinese-Japanese
war. The Chinese who took part in
that war formed a mere rabble. They
were not of the northern provinces,
where are found the real fighters Of
China, nor were they of the better and
more Intelligent classes of the south
ern provinces. The events of the past
few days prove this statement, for the
fanatical Boxers have not only fought
like demons, but have conducted their
movements with skill and have shown
their ability to handle modern weap-
ons of war. With a united yellow
race the Chinese would have the ad-
vantage of Japanese teaching, dash
and leadership.

THIS Is A SUN:SPOT YEAR.
Is There Any Relation Between That Fact
and Certain Others?

1t is believed, from evidences now
seen in the sun, that a period of great
activity is in progress there, and that
the effects of this immeasurable force
will besseen~ during the next five years
in what is known as "sun spots ~
These sun sspots are supposed to be
great solar volcanoes or other disturb
ances of the suns surface in some Wis
lble way. The spots can be seen easily
by observers during the years up to
1905, when the maximum will have
been reached. These supposed cavi-
ties sometimes go to a width of about
10000 miles and then break up into
separate spots Or cavities, sometimes
separating at the rate of 100 miles an
hour.
The energy sent out by the same
force that causes these sun spots must
be enormous There are some reasons
for believing that before the spots
themselves make their appearance to
the right the energy is at work and is
radiated from the sun to the planets
Of this system. At all events, the sun
spot periods are usually notable On
the earth by peculiar manifestations
of electrical energy. The electric
storms that have been seen in New
England lately are due, in some de-
gree, te the solar energy and the cleo
tricity sent to the earth as result.
Such, at least, is a widely received
scientific theory #, Tx @.:..
It may be that the sun spots are the
energy Of which they are merely the
result work in some fashion that can
not be so easily traced. During the
past three years, when the suns en-
ergies have been at work, strange
things have happened in the world. It
is merely a coincidence? If so, it is at
least worth notice that condolences of
this kind are not rare If one takes the
trouble to look up the story of the civ
ilized world in the few years preceding
each period Of outbreak Of sun spots,
say, in the past SO years.
To trace back the periods, reckoning
II years as: the cycle, the beginning Of
sun spot outbreaks would be reckoned
in 1889, 1878, 1857, and 1856 in such a
count. These dates are not exact be-.
cause the period Of duration is not ex-
actly measurable in units of years..
still it is. surely worth some notice
that before the period Of 1856 there
came the desperate outbreak of the.
war in the Crimea; that before. the.
period Of 1867 the United States was.
(.,aYaged by civil war to an extent hard
" ever recorded in the history Of any
,ther country, and that the great trag

from the stirring into life and action

should Prince Tuan or some other un-
known man of the people prove to be

yellow race into fighting power
which would sweep the people of the
white races from the face of Europe

cchaff from threshing floor. That the
possibility of such a movement is be-

are being made to prevent it, is shown
in the hesitancy to allow the Japanese
to gain complete control in China by
suppressing the present uprising.

OF one thing Gordon felt quite
sure. The days when Europeans could
march up to Chinese troops in posi-
zion, or in defense of a position, and
sweep them away like flies, would
soon be over. There would be no
more military promenades by few
hundred British and French troops
through the country, driving thousands
OF Chinese before them. S
Speaking of the authorities, Gordon
said a Mandarin was never to he
trusted, and he was only too glad
when he left their service. The Eng
llsh, in his opinion, made the mis-
take of thinking they were welcome
wherever they went, but in Is or 20
years they would find proof to the
contrary. With all their supersti-
tlons, their vices and their ignorance.
the Chinese were, in Gordon's estima-
tion, far too good to be ruled by the
class that governed them. The GOV
ernments Of France, Russia and Eng

spoke treated the Chinese most sean

Current events are proving how ac--
curately Chinese Gordon judged the
situation, and the regret is that GER
tain defects of character and temper
ament should have caused him to
abandon a position in which he could
have rendered great service to China
and civilization. In the light of what
is passing in China to-day, Gordon's
words Of 20 years ago have a prophet

together. Whatever the reason. how

Very little music is being given at
parties this season. Hostesses recog-
nize that people want to talk, and are

rule, is she who let her guests find

worries you,'' mere man declares, ''is

only like to Datronize the salon of the
chatelaine who has mastered the great
art of letting her guests alone" The
number Of entertainments given in ho-
tells and smart restaurants is one OF
the growing signs of the laziness OF
modern life, and the tendency to cen
tra1ize in all things: People are thank
full to be saved trouble at any cost,
and giving parties in hotels saves an
illimitable amount of calculation on
the part OF the hostess. No mere man
need to make elaborate calculations as
to the amount of food and drink re-
quired, no troublesome consultations
with the cook, the whole matter is
taken out of the entertainers hands,
and attended to by an all-knowing ho-
tel manager. The house is not turned
upside down, nor the servants driven
to distraction by unaccustomed duties.

species of novelty about, them which
make them acceptable to the guests,

lifting her head to look into his face.

over the brow of the man. KNOWING
