prairie bottoms of Illinois. For CEN
turies 1t has been the store house of
the country around for hundreds of
miles. Its products have been ex-
ported along the ancient highway

to the Liao-Tung Peninsula. In addi-

the Trans-Baikal country through

Up to six years ago, when the Rus.

far the larger part of the inhabitants
tilling the plain which occupies the en-
tire central part of the province. Grin

Grin and Hardin, had a population of
100000 also mainly engaged in agri-
culture. These farmers-mostly Chi
nese-had been encouraged for years
by the Chinese imperial government.

ly pursued the same policy, so that

srn plain. The Manchurian horses
are famous. They are wiry and just
the kind calculated to stand hard
campaigning.
So Russia can scarcely be ousted
from Manchuria until she loses Har-
bin. First, she must be driven back
from the Yalu river and Port Arthur
up the Liao-tung Peninsula along the
line Of the railroad and ancient hieh-
way; from New-chwang, unless she
voluntarily evacuates what is really
neutral territory: from Mukden, which
is strongly fortified and easy Of de-

tion, that might be a hard task. in

States which lies above Florida in the

remembered, also, that the article said
that the brook had been fished out

The Curse of Manchurfa.
The khunkhuz-or chunchuses-are
the brigands. and, as Viceroy Alexien
recently called them, the curse of
Manchuria. There are many bands OF
them rowing about the land, robbing
farmers and villages and river boats,
and even daring to attack Cossack
outposts along the railroads. These
bands are made up of escaped Siberian
convicts, peasants and Cinnamon en-
gagged in gathering the gensing root.
They are among the most desperate
-throats in all Asia.
They have given the Russians no
peace, and the latter make relentless
war on them. A recent traveller in
Manchuria tells of seeing some two
score freshly cut human heads hang
ing from trees on the outskirts Of Har-
bin. He askedsa Russian official about
the grewsome exhibit.
