RUSSIAN UPRISING

The uprising of the populace in Rus.

retical government of taxation with

succeed without patriotism. Oppression
will not be tolerated when the people
become enlightened. Either the common
people must be free, or slaves. For a
number Of years there has been feel
ing or unrest among the peasantry of
Russia. There has been strong under
current of resentment against exist

government and although it has been
slumbering and gathering force, its
strength has been underestimated by the
controlling power, and possibly might
not have become apparent so early had

Recent events demonstrate the fact
that the sympathy of the common peo-

CHINESE BOYCOTT.

The country, more particularly, tn,
Pacific Coast is worried as a result Of
adyiees indicating a Chinese boycott ol
American products and manufacture,
and the further intelligence that botl
President Roosevelt and Secretary Of
War Taft are in favor of repeating the
exclusion laws, or at least, OF modifying
them to such extent, Chinese OF means
may gain entry into the United States
without more than reasonable discrim.
nation being exercised. Charles DENLY,
diplomatic advisor to the yiceroy of
North China has given an insight into
the real eonditions which may serve to
alleviate fears that have arisen as to the
possibility of the threat being carried
out. Mr.. DENLY accredits the inception
of the boycott to the student classes,
whom, he AYERS, are young, hot headed
and owing TO education CLEANED abroad,
possess radical ideas on reform. Neither
the government nor the commercial
guilds are behind the movement and Mr..
Denby believes that should the exclus.
ion laws be repealed, the Chinese gov
ernment win prohibit coolies leaving the
country. According to Mr.. DENLY the
government is under contract to furnish
laborers to large mining concerns in
South Africa, and as a result of the
wholesale emigration to this country,
at present, is experiencing much diff.
Guilty in obtaining sufficient number of
men to fulfill the agreement. Recruit
ing agents are securing the celestial
kingdom, their efforts being favored
with little or no success. Coupled with
the statements of Mr.. DENLY, is the fact
that an organized effort in China would
be well nigh impossible. While China
is supposedly ruled by the imperial
government. which is headed by the
dowager, no real government exists.
The country is divided into a number
of provinces. Each is headed by a vice |
roy, q mandarin or some lesser official. |
The compensation Of the province rulers
is derived from various sources, in most
instances, from Chinese who purchase |
subordinate positions. They receive no
pay from the government. In turn the
subordinates are remunerated by dis
posing of other Offices, created, as a |
matter of convenience. The revenue of
the imperial government is derived prin.
eipally from the inter-provinee import |
tax, which is imposed upon merchants,
especially American, British and Ger
man dealers. The inter.provinee tax
is SO exhorbitant that it renders diff
cult the making OF even a moderate
percentage and the trade with these reg
ions has been practically abandoned by
Hong Kong merchants. Disaffection
among the provinces is common. In.
credulous though it may seem, in some
parts of China, within a radius of 100
miles, the people are found to speak two
and sometimes three tongues. The
country continues to move along in its
narrow groove and although the report.
of the boycott may be worthy Of
limited credulity, Mr.. Danby's conception
of the matter is less radical.
