 "They might have gotten through all right with the Huang Houtze flags on their carts, but, outside the great organi- zation of brigands. there are petty bands of robbers who might attack them. Such men will not dare to touch any one guard ed by a Huang Houtze; for, if caught they would surely be killed by the lat ter"
 Mounted Robbers.
 The Huang Houtzes are well mounted They have Chinese ponies, which can go 30 miles a day without tiring, and can be pushed to twice that. The ponies are never groomed and are exceedingly dirty The bandits carry nothing with them but their arms, except a long fur coat, which they wear in the winter and a quilt folded over their saddles They have modern guns and are armed with revol- vers. The majority carry Mauser rifles or big bore Winchescers. Some have Russian pistols, and many have Japanese weapons which have been collected from the battlefields or have gotten hold of in some way or other during the war Their ammunition is of European make and some of them have cartridges of smokeless powder. During the China Japan war they bought or stole quan- tity of rifles from the runaway Chinese soldiers and got additional arms in 19OO' when the arsenals of North China were footed and the arms distributed gratis by the officials. They have captured some guns from the Russians during the past few years and they have altogether a splendid equipment.

 am told that these bandits have ex- isted as an organization for ages, but that they have never been so associated together as now. Their resorts have been the mountainous regions of Mongolia and Manchuria, from where they have gone down regularly to prey upon the people of the lowlands. The words Huang Houtze mean red boards. It Is said that these outlaws sometimes dye their hair and boards red, and that thus decorated their names become synonymous with the devil in the minds of the northern Chinese I understand that each band has one chief, with several minor chiefs, who form his bodyguard. There arc about 50 of these head men in a band, and each has 10 or 20 brigands under him, the whole making a gang of 1000 or more. Such band will take charge of a cer- tain part of the country, similar bands being located in other regions The brigands have a system of intercommun- ication by which they can combine and by which the guarantee of one company is respected by the others.

 men who are running the Chinese govern
