 Pekin, Oct B.-Although the Chinese administration is undergoing reform by imperial sdict, graft is still ram pant in every department
 Prince Chung, the highest function- ary of the Empire, and his son. Tsai Chen. have been involved n A sensa- tionaf bribery scandal but their resi- tion was too exalted for them to be punished.
 Prince Ching stands next 10 the Dowager Empress in power, and Tsen Chai is President of the Board of Commerce. The accusation against them, made by an official censor. wss s that Prince Ching received q large bribe, and Tsai Chen the gift of a sing ing girl. from Tuap, for the appoint ment of Governor Of Heilung Chaing. It is notorious that all the higher Gov ernment appointments are a source of much profit to Prince Ching, and other high officials.
 The impeachment was published in the official Pelxin Gazette, whi:n also contained proclamation ordering an investigation by Prince Kung and Sun Chia- nal Prince Ching himself, 1t was announced, had desired that the cen- sor's dodge statement should be pun ished, but this was willy Celestial dodge. There was delay of tea days before the Impeachment was publish ed. which allowed time for the singing girl to be sent away from Pekin. with , other evidence of graft.
 The result of the inquiry was .hat no evidence was found to prove the censo statements of the censor, who was dismissed. and the Prince -Chihg and his son were guiltless of receiving bribes.

SHOT HIS OFFICER.
Turkish Lieutenant fingered at tn.
 Meagre Pay.

Meagre Pay.
 Constantinople, Oct. 5.--The shocking state of graft and incompetence in the Turkish army administration is strik- ingly shown by the case of Lieutenant Hussein Efendi. who shot his com manding officer, Hamdi Pasha, dead because he could not get his arrears of pay.
 Hussein has been hanged for the murder, but popular sympathy is with him and with his mother and family, who have been left quite destitute.
 Hamdi Pasha was military command ant at Trebizond, where Hussien was & second lieutenant of the garrison. The lieutenant had to support himself, his mother, and, her three young chill dren on his meagre pay. and a more meagre pension which his mother drew as widow of major.
 When .Hussefn was promoted 10 a post in another district he found him. self without money for traveling ex- penses. as his pay was seven months in arrear, and the pension twenty seven months. After applying in vain to the Governor for at least a portion of his arrears, he went to Hamdi Pasha, who not only refused him any money, but cursed and abused him, If you want money" he roared, Ego beg for it!"
 In despair, Hussefn took the Pasha's advice, and, disgusting himself as a beggar, sat at the door of the mosque soliciting arms. The Governor, as he came out for worship, was going to give something to the "beggar" when Hamdi came up, and recognized Hus- sein through his disguise.
 The brutal Pasha again showered abuse upon the lieutenant, who, losing all control of himself, drew his re- volver and fired four bullets into him, the wounds proving fatal in a short time.

CLAIMS TO BE REINoAnNArED.

Rangoon. Bnrnah Oct. 5.-What is regarded as practical illustration of the Buddhist doctrine of "Reincarna- ton" is puzzling British scientists here. It is little native child of be- tween and 1, who claims to be the reincarnation of Major D. Welsh, of the British army, who was drowned in the Meiktilia Lake, near the child s home in 1904.
 The child was born about the same time, and, according to the Buddhist belief became a s.miniza,s the second earthly home of dead mans soul.
 The child, who is fair-haired and blue-eyed, is otherwise a normal youngster of the peasant class. He astonished his mother by gravely an- nouncing that he was Major Welsh, describing the dead mans house, the number of his horses, and other de- tails of his life. He gave an account of the loss of little sailing boat in a storm on the lake. and the drowning of Major Welsh and two other per- sons.
 The child's weird personality at tracts crowds to hear him speak as the dead Major. Tests applied to him have failed to prove that his "reincarna- tion' is a fake devised by his parents
 A similar case of 'reincarnation" occurred in Pegu some years ago. @ young native child declaring that he was the ''minzap of MT. A. W. Tucker, district superintendent of police. who was killed by daoits (outlaws) at the time of the child's birth.

MISTAKES IN EASTERN POLICY
Russian General Says Roosevelt
 Helped Japs to Victory.
Extreme Reactionary Party in Ger many Is Bankrupt--King of siam Kept All Seven Daschunds Which Were Sent For Him
 To Select From.
Bf WALTER puNkIRK.

eBrlin, Oct 5--(Special. )--General Linevitch, who was commanders chief of the Czar's army during the Russo Japanese war, in an interview, has giv- en his views of the Far Eastern sit- nation, which are of great interest to Americans.
 T am a firm believer in the exist ence of a Yellow Peril" the General said, and I believe that the United States is the first country that will be given proof of it's realty. America ls developing into a predomicantly Pacific Ocean power, and it Is in the Pacific that she will most likely lose the pres tige of which she is so justly proud.
 America made two great mistakes in her Far Eastern policy. which have generally weakened her position in the Pacific. First, she sympathiZed with and openly favored Japan during the late war. Second, she saved Japan from ultimate defeat when President Roose- welt called the Portsmouth Peace Con- ference. From & Humanitarian point of view, President Roosevelt deserved the gratitude of the world because he put an end to the bIoodshed, but as a diplo- mat he was not farsighted enough. hus- sIa would at any time have been re idy to cooperate with America in the Far East and her possessions there would have afforded a splendid market for American goods and trade was all that America was and is looking for on the western shores of the Pacific
 Tn my opinion Russias position would have improved had the war continued, and may adduce the fact that during the five months during which I was commander of our forces. the Japan csc did not venture to repeat the att tacks which they made so successfully at Liao-Yang and Mukden. But apart from that. the continuation of the war would have seriously weakened Japan commercially and politicatly; and for a generation delivered America from a powerful rival in the Pacific. But Mir. Roosevelt first helped Japan to vic- tory, and then helped her to reap the fruits of a victory, as if American pa ' triotism consisted in making Japan one of the greatest power on earth.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-10-06

consider that this powerful new Ja- pan now threatens America's existence as Pacific power. She will destroy American trade. Her subjects. if ai- lowed to settle freely in American pos sessions will undermine the economic prosperity of the white Americans.
 During my long residence in East Asia, had opportunities for studying the effect of Japanese immigration. The Japanese regarded Russian territory as a sponge to be squeezed. They took low wages, spent not a kopeck: many even brought with them boxes of rice for their own consumption. America can suffer even more from Asiatic settlers, as the standard of living Is high.
 "of course, America can exclude iap- anese from the Pacific coast. But from that must arise oi.icHl danger. l am convinced that any sanction against Japanese interests in America. whe- ther on the part Of the Federal gov ernment, or of the local authorities or citizens, would be a prelude to a war in which America could gain nothing and would probably lose much. The Philippines she would inevitably lose.- All Japanese statesmen desire their acquisition, and Japanese denial of this based. on the pretence that the climate is too hot for colonists, is untrue. However. IL Is mistake to assume that Japan would necessarily concentrate on the Philippines in the event of war. More likely, she would not shrink from the risk of attacking the American fleet, wherever 1t might be found, and of di- rectly menacing the Pacific coast.
 The United States are ITO. at present in position to resist such an attack. A war with Japan would be the most awful experience America could under go. Americans rely too much on their feet"

NIanoeuvres . sssccess.

The recent army manoeuvres which were held in Hanover in spite of the protest of the German farmers. who did not want to be deprived oi their help when hands were badly needed to har- vest the late crops, were great suc- cess from military standpoint, and have so delighted the Kaiser that a ver- itable shower of decorations has de- scended upon the hign.r army officials and an unusually great number of pro- motions are to follow.
 The Crown-Prince. who, by the way, is looking forward to the visit of the stork during next month, heads the list of officers promoted. He was until now a captain fin the Imperial Body Guard, but has been made a major, and is now the youngest officer of that rank in the army.

Subsidies Withdrawn.

As the result of its quarrel with M :. Stolypin, the extreme reactionary party is in n state of bankruptcy. The sub sides obtained from a mysterious source-presumably the government have been withdrawn. Orders have been issued to curtail the free distribution or infiammatory pamphlets. The Black Hundred organs "vetche'' and "Pota- chevski Viedomosti" have ceased pubIi- cation, and the "Russkoe Znamya" of St. Petersburg threatens to close if the public does not respond to its appeal for funds. tfA
 Quarreis between its leaders are ae cause of this decline of prosperity. At Kischinen. M. Krasnsvan is threaten, d with expulsion from the Black Hundred organizations. and still more serious quarrel is taking ltincs at Moscow over the electoral ambitions of the react ionary editor, GriuGnnth.
 The only Black Hundred newspaper now fiourishing Is the Moscow 'Vieom- sti" which has monopoly of govern ment advertisements.

Kept aIl seven,

While the visit of King Chuia1ong- korn, of Siam, has been rather expen- sive to the Kaiser, who desiring to make him a present of daschund was forced to give him seven--at 1000 marks apiece--because the Eastern po- tentate kept all those sent him to se- lect from, but to the German merchants and other ordinary mortals the slant eyed monarch has rather been good thing.
 Not only has he bought millions of marks worth of German goods of all descriptions but he has treated whole towns to beer and champagne It has been estimated that his birthday ceIe- bration. in which he invited every man woman and child, in the city of Hom- berg to take part for three days must
