1.-THE story of a general uprising
against the Americans IS without
foundation. There is some hard feel
ing between the mercantile class and
the foreign statesmen regarding the
boycott, but there has been no demon
stration against the Americans, and
aside from the revolutionary fights
which you know of, there is no trouble.
(Signed) "YEN QUEEN"
The above cablegram. signed "Yen
Quen," was received by a prominent
merchant of the Los Angeles China
town from a friend in China yesterday,
and goes far to substantiate the opin-
ion of the Chinese here that the danger
of war between their country and the
United States has been greatly exag-
gerated.
at is all the doings of old Isl An,
the old woman of the kingdom" said
La Ack Fawn, a prominent member of
the Chinese chamber of commerce.
"First came the stories of people
killed in the orient and then of soldiers
preparing for war. Following close
upon that comes the story of local
Chinese firing on American flags. With
all these facts before us we felt that
because of the respect and reverence
we owe this country, and especially
the people of Los Angeles, for the kind
treatment we have received of them,
1t was our duty to investigate the mat
ter thoroughly.
Chinese Gardeners Complaint
"Friday there came report to us
from a truck gardener on Central ave-
nue.. He was well known to us and
we knew he would do no harm to any
body, and yet he complained that young
IoI ctnn hi riIfn
plants and wrecked his home because
of the feeling engendered by the al
legged dissertation of the American flag.
We already had made a complete in
vestigation of the flag case and learned
that there was mistake about that
trouble and that Chinese never had
been guilty of the Dissertation.
"Yet we felt that if such an act had
been committed we could not have
found punishment sufficiently severe
for the offender. Had a Chinese been
guilty of firing on the American flag
we would have been glad TO have seen
him hanged by the American authori-
Ties as q warming to others And as
the boys were laboring under mis-
understanding when they raided the
garden we forgave them their act and
paid the gardener for his loss.
That settles the dissertation ques-
ton. AS for the war proposition, aside
from a local character, there is moth
ing to it. Back in the days not so far
gone in the Chinese empire new dy-
nasty was established. The country
was peopled by two races of Mongo-
lians, first the Chinese and second the
Manchurians.
about 300 years ago the Chinese
were conquered by the Manchurians,
who since have held undisputed sway.
The Nlo.ehurians have their priests In
the temples. their men in office and
Tsi An, their queen, on the throne.
The efforts of the Chinese to regain
the empire have caused the trouble.
Trouble Caused by Tsi An
"rhe recent war between Russia and
japan was brought on by Isl An CIV
ing Manchuria to the Russians. She
thought it stroke of policy to give
away that country so that Russia
would be her friend and aid her against
the Chinese If trouble of a civil char
ecter should occur. But Russia began

their intentions often discussed by
musicians; with manners simple and
unaffected and he himself unspolled
by the adulation he receives wherever
he appears, Jean de Chauvenet is a
specimen of the true musician. OF his
recitals, whether in the simple sacred
music of the church or the classics of
the great masters, one never tires,
but, regretting their ending, reJoices

talented artist"

Yerkes Road Open for Traffic
Su Associate1 Press

LONDON, March 10.-The Baker
Street-Waterloo Tube, one of the late
Charles II. Yerkes' group OF railroads,
was opened to public traffic today.
This is the latest addition to the Lon
don underground electric railroads, and
the most important link in the So
luton of the city's traffic problem.
The new artery, the length Of which is
five and one-fourth miles, runs north
and south, traversing all the older lines
with which it is connected by subways,
thus enabling passengers to reach
within short distance of any point
in the metropolis.
The construction of the road was
begun In 1898 under the auspices Of
the late Whitaker Wright's group of
companies, and subsequently was pur-
chased by the Yerkes-Speyer interests.

apanese territory and

to encroach on Japanese territory and
war resulted.
1.-THE Chinese have been accused OF
having too many tongs or societies,
but the one great tong never has been
mentioned. 1t was organized when
the Chinese dynasty fell, and 1t has
grown ever since, SO that now 1t en-
braces nearly all the true Chinese in
the empire and 1t is that society OF
reformists who are striving to regain
China that the queen has been fighting.
1.-THE Reformation society OF this
country is sister organization, com
posed of men who are learning the
ways of modern civilization. They will
be the ones prepared to make China
new country when the great crisis
comes.
"When the son of the old dowager
died many years ago, and she appointed
her nephew to the throne, the young
man had liberal ideas and wanted to
establish a modern government for
China. The priests who had waxed
fat on the people for years were turned
out of the temples and told to go to
work, while the temples were turned
into schools.
But powerful Manchurian mobiles
told the queen that her reign would
be short If she did not hold to the old
customs and so she practically de-
posed the emperor and now reigns in
his stead.
Bound by Tradition
"The old traditions Of China still
sway there and men are beheaded for
ridiculousy small offenses. The people
have been gradually educated to
modern civilization and they balk at
the fearful methods Of the old heather
laws.
"In China the record of every judge,
public official or great man is kept in
a great chest, and for that reason
these officials are fearful and luke
warm to resist. They have great re-
spect for their names, and they fear
that should they assist in rebellion
against the Mancurian dynasty and 1t
should fail, their names would be dis
honored and bad reports of them would
be put In the chests to go down through
posterity, blackening their character.
$50 the reform association has sought
elsewhere and built up q strong So
ciety without the. aid of these men,
and when the time comes they will
strike.
"That is the history of modern China
and explains all the petty troubles of
past years, but I think there is no
cause for any alarm regarding war
It is simply the people of China work.
ing out their own salvation, while the
tough classes here and there, agents
of the empress, try to ward off the
blow by creating a false impression
that the trouble Is with the outsiders.
But the empress is old and becom-
ing feeble. Slowly the sun Is sinking
from her reign and the shadows are
growing longer and longer and en-
veloping her and her kind. Perhaps the
day is near for the blow for freedom.
Who can say?"

ELY CERTAINLY HAD
A MERRY CHRISTMAS

in the quiet, old fashioned way. There
were Christmas trees in every home
that is blessed with children, and nu-
merous dinner parties.
The Christmas freedom with which
money was scattered here yesterday
afflicted most of the bartenders of the
camp with the "smile that won't come
off," Following q time honored custom
the broprietors of most of the places
gave their bartenders the receipts of
the saloons during Christmas day, and
as each dollar that rolled in meant an
addition to the bank account of the bar
tenders, they noted the inflow of coin
with almost parental solicitude. The
fact Of this liberality of the saloonmen
to their bar talent was known in the
camp and Of course, the more popular
of the bartendei5r rcdped the better har-
vest although all of them at the end of
the time set aside for the largess OF
.'the houses" were able to count sub
stantial sums.
