the daughter OF a wealthy and prominent English
man was about to be married to the son OF
leader of the Liberal party and a member OF the
House OF Commons. The father had past, which

Now and then London and New-York business
circles disturbed by the exposure OF regularly

especially on the promoters OF companies At tho
time Of the recent financial boom. when companies
of large capital were being organized in great num-
bcrs each side OF tho Atlantic a blackmal
bureau In London rose to great proportions by
bleeding American promoters. It's head was man
who moved in the highest financial circles, and in
his employ men. both in London and New
York. who dug up whatever evil they could find
concerning the biggest new companies. II they
found that the of certain mine on exhibition

other mine or that the secretary had a bad record

under a cloud. they would transmit these facts
to the head OF the bureau.
No sooner did the promoter land in London in his
quest for British capital than he received ennis
ssry from the bureau asking for employment"
The. wages ranged all the way from 500 to 81 900
a week. If the man was refused he simply dropped
the hint that he knew such and such things about
the company. which might leak out and gener-
ally the blackmaer found work"
Matchmaking in England is practised more widely
md secretly than here. though IL seldom wins
large stakes as IN the New World. The British
tortioner is not likely to become as rapacious as
his American cousin. and hence he is less liable to
make his victim turn against him. The many noble
families offer field for the blackmaier which he
does not find in America, for the British nobleman
values the OF his house highly that he
often would willingly spend good part OF his es-
tate to save its escutcheon from a stain. Even IL

THE HUNGHUTZES.

Much has been said in the war cables
about the Hunghutzes Cor Chunchuses)
but little has appeared descriptive of
them. They are, however, most in
teresting survival of the age when the
Manchus were a fighting and conquer
remember, the Manehus broke into
China some three centuries ago, over
came the native dynasty and forced
the queue, as a badge of servitude,
upon the close-cropped heads of their
pastoral captives. In the long peace
which followed the Manchus lost their
their surroundings-an but some thou
sands of nomads in the wild interior
who came to bear similar relation to
their domesticated kinsmen that the
American plainsmen, of the pioneer era
did to their settled New England
cousins.
These are the Hunghutzes - fine
horsemen. brave spirits, quick to take
offence, desperate in action, lawless in
their undertakings, the kind of men
that followed Genghis Khan to victory.
Like all Manchus they are stalwart
people, broad of shoulder, tall of frame
and mighty of thew. Between them
and the slight, smiling, subservient
Cantonese is a yawning divergence of
character and physique. The one is
the class of the conqueror; the other is
the class of the conquered,
The attitude of the Hunghutzes in
the present war is purely mercenary.
They have been bribed, it is said, to
protect the railroad and are doing so.
A large share of the money they get,
however, is being spent for the equip
ment of new recruits, so that, before
| long, the strength of the Hunghutzes
will be doubled. There is danger to
Russia in such a situation for the
bandits. as they are called, have no
use for their Muscovite employers and
may turn against them when they are
strong enough to take more spoil than
their brides amount to. A small num-
her are already rebellious and are be-
! ing punished for it by torture and
death
