PRINCE CHUNG'S SCHEME
GIGANTIC LOTTERY TO RAISE IN.
IDENTITY MONEY.
Fund Will Be Supplemented BY Head
Tax On All China.
men.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to mail advices from the
orient, Chinese officials are resorting
to all kinds of means to raise money
to assist in paying the indemnity
agreed on by the powers. Besides a
gigantic lottery scheme, in which
more than 500, 600, 900 is involved,
half of which will go into the indem-
nifty fund and half be given away in
prizes, and which scheme has receiv-
ed the sanction of the court, it is To-
proposed by Prince Ching to impose
a head tax on all Chinese whether re-
siding within the limits of the en-
pire or in foreign countries. Prince
Ching's plan as submitted to the court
is to send commissioners to all for
eign countries to collect the tax from
Chinese residents, claiming that as
they do not become citizens of other
countries they should assist in paying
the indemnity.
Prince Ching's plan has created
considerable dissatisfaction in the
southern provinces of the Chinese
empire and is liable to result in SER
ious disturbances. 1t is claimed that
residents of the northern provinces
are alone responsible for the boxer
movement and that they should be
called upon to bear any expense caus-
ed by their action. Chinese of the
southern provinces were friends of
the foreigners, and as most of the mer-
chants in foreign countries are from
the southern provinces the movement
on foot to resist the taxation for in
demnity is rapidly gaining ground and
it is said that the Chinese abroad will
refuse to pay the proposed tax. Prince
Ching, according to Chinese papers,
says if they refuse the burden will fall
on their relatives in the southern PROV
inces and that other oppressive meas
ures will be enforced against them,
and that merchants abroad refusing
to pay the proposed tax will not be
allowed to return to their mother
country and will be classed as traitors.

WHY THE BoERs KEEP UP.
Do Not Diminish Because Prisoners
Are Constantly Escaping.

London, Dec. "A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Pretoria gives an
indication why, with continuous cap
lures, the Boer forces do not seem to
diminish. The dispatch says that
Beers are constantly escaping from
the concentration camps and towns
to rejoin the fighting forces, and that
measures will have to be taken to
stop this leakage. The Beers in the
towns are still i~rreconcilable, says
the dispatch, and believe their cause
will eventually triumph.
