CANTON, China, Dec. 9.-The revolu-
ton long expected and long in prepare
ton has come. Foreign residents had be-
come so accustomed to reports OF con-
spiracies and anti-imperialist movements
that even they were amazed when the
rising took place in great force and I'M
der trained leadership.
The driving motives of the insurrection
are economic quite as much as political.
The impoverishment OF the Chinese is
probably far greater than it was a gem
Grafton ago, The people have been more
harried by the tax collectors even dur
ing the last ten years than they were
previous to the Boxer uprising. The pres
sure of the imperial government and the
provincial consuls for money has crushed
the mass OF the people until their misery
has afforded the revolutionary agItators
a convincing argument that the time has
come to turn out the Manchus and to
create II possible a liberal and more
compassionate government.

government, n weakness that has been
more marked since 1900 than before in
this generation, gave the insurgent lead
ers confidence that they would be able
to make Roadway against any force that
the imperialists might send against them.
The Chinaman loves the secret society.
Communal feeling, the necessity OF the
individual being supported by his fellows,
has been utilized by the reVolutionares
to the utmost. The revolutionary secret
societies extending throughout southern
China probably include a membership OF
several millions, the control of them cen
tralizing in small group OF able men.
The political poster and leaflet has been
largely the means of preparing the mass
of the people for change. The work of
the secret societies has been directed TO
circulating single sheet pamphlets or
pasting up little inflammatory posters
discrediting the army, narrating specific
instances of the ruthlessness of the Man
chu tax gatherer, the neglect OF the peo-
pie by those who assumed TO be paternal
benefactors, the weakness of the Picking
government and a hundred other allie
cations undermining the fear and the re-
spect of the people for their despotic
rulers.

A singular feature has been the atti-
tude OF the student class. Those educated

steps of new Japan, which succeeded IN
Kidding the country of foreign inteTven-

Thousands Of these bright men and en-
ergetic youths are scattered throughout
the country preaching the doctrine that
China is cursed by the weakness of its
own government yielding to the foreign
ers, and that help, progress and security
can only come by upsetting the existing
order and organizing upon the principle
OF China for the Chinese. Strangely also
these agitators, including all those edu-
Gated in Japan, are furiOusly anti-Japa-
nese.
The correspondent will not endeavor TO
predict the result OF the present far
reaching insurrection. II seems likely to
succeed, but the foreign observers have
a profound distrust Of the present ca
pacity OF the Chinese for republican in
stitutions in the western sense. should
the revolution succeed. the government
probably will be a military dictatorship
in which perhaps some able and Just in
dividuality will be in command. The
revolutionary cause appears to have many
leaders truly patriotic and with aims be-
yond the passion for piling up private
fortunes out Of the squeeze" common
under the present Manchu government.

watches the development of the revolu-

than Americans would have in a revolu-
ton In Canada or in Mexico.
The results OF civil war In China must
within the view OF authoritative observers
here have profound influence on every
Asiatic power and upon Japan most of
all. Japanese craftsmanship In its rela-
tons TO the Aslatic mainland must have
always in mind that there alone can
japanese expansion take place without
coming into collision with a European or
an American power.
The japanese press and the Japanese
government have apparently accepted the
fact that the white races bar the way
to colonization in Australia, North
America and in Asia beyond the confines
of China.
one need not reach a conclusion now
as to whether Japan would have given
up the railway and southern Manchuria
TO China upon the expiration of the rail-
way lease. Certainly the disorder in
southern China and the extreme weakness
Of the imperial government at Picking

to feel that southern Manchuria is more
than ever japanese.
VIceroy Financed by Japan.
The viceroy OF Manchuria has declared
his independence. Immediately following
that announcement the Yokohoma specie
bank. japanese government institution,
has loaned the yceroy several million
dollars. The foreign observers here con-
slider this loan as guaranteed by a pollti-
cal mortgage upon southern Manchuria.
Now the japanese vested right In Man
churia is considered 10 run until such
time as the provincial government Of
Manchuria can repay this loan. II Is IN
derstood that the Independent Chinese
government OF Manchura proceeds under
japanese advice.
The sectional rivalry between northern
and southern China is such that the
southern revolutionary chiefs appeared TO
care very little for what becomes Of
Mongolia and Manchuria, so that IL Is
possible that in the event Of a strong
republic or dictatorship being founded by
the insurgents the new government would
not come into serious collision with either
Japan or Russia over what either country
might do In Manchuria or in northwestern
China.

CAM0RRIsTs BECOME VIOLENT.
Recess ls Taken Until Gendarmes al
Trial Can Restore Order.

VITERBO. April 21.-An unexpected
outbreak on the part of the Canon
rist prisoners, inexplicable on any
ground other than the volatile ma
ture Of the Neapolitans, forced re-
cess in today's murder trial until the
gendarmes could restore order.
The outbreak was the most violent
that has yet marked the trial and
came Immediately on converting of
court II began by several OF the
prisoners manifesting either real or
feigned hysteria and within a few
minutes all the other prisoners had
become affected until the big steel
cage resembled a violent ward In an
insane asylum.
The prisoners wept, screamed, beat
the bars Of the cage, moaning and
hurled execrations at the court and
at Informer Abbatemaggio, who &C.
cupied a separate cage, to save him
from the wrath OF the Camorrists.
Judge Bianchi at first believed that
1t was a concerted and premeditated
move to delay the trial.
AS the disturbance grew more vio-
lent, however, he concluded that the
prisoners were really suffering from
hysteria and ordered a recess until
they could be quoted.

JOAQUIN MILLER
REUNITED TO WIFE
Now I'll Rest Here a Thousand
Years." He Says, Watching
Cities Spread"

SAN FRANCISCO. April 21.-Joa-
quin Miller. California's patriarchal
poet, after a journey to the halls Of
death, is home again, in his paradise
of roses and sunshine In the Dimond
hills.
For a thousand years, he says. he
will rest there and listen to the stories
OF men that the winds bring him.
watching the spreading OF the cities.
and the ships OF the world as they
come and go through the Golden Gate.
The poet is occupying "Juanita Cot
tage," which he built with his own
hands on the heights beyond upper
Fruitvale.
His illness has brought to his clos
ing years one great blessing. His wife
nd daughter, from whom he had been
separated for years, have come TO take
care of him now.
When he reached The Heights" aft
er his recent illness and gazed again
at the hills that he has made to sing
and at the far horizons OF the spot
that has been his home for twenty-five
years, he sighed In deep content. He
was silent a long time and then
spoke:
"Oh, beautiful, beautiful; am glad.
Never for a thousand years will
pagain leave this spot"
Silence, and then the music Of the
place stirred the old poets heart. The
tired voice again:
"All these trees, | grew them-or
God did, planted them, every one;
,and see them now This spot, | chose
IL OF all others, built this home, those
roads and bridges; and planted
orchards. was happy and am happy
now. The air and the peace Of this
hillside is the only balm In Gilead, and
shall get well here-if am destined
TO get well.
Mrs. Miller and Juanita. the girl,
are happy In their reunion. The daugh-
, ter had brought II about. After her
father mad lain III In the hospital for
some time she came and nursed him
and then went east to bring her moth
er, who had made her home In New
York.
The old man Ind toiled and dream
ed alone for many years.
His magnificent independence was
broken by his illness, and now he
leans upon his women with the faith
that was his when he came Just up to
his mothers knee. Husband and wife
and child-they are all happy now out
on the big hillside.
After he had rested from his trip
the poet walked to the cottage occu-
pied by his adopted daughter. Ger
trude Boyle Kano. and her husband,
md talked with them. Then he re-
sumed his seat on the porch that over
looks the cities and the great sea.
The pioneer poet had all arrange.
ments made for bis funeral. He wish
es his body to lie beside that OF Maud
Miller, his daughter. who. before her
death, was an actress. She died six
years ago.
Her body is buried on the top Of the
hill and a monument Of rough boulders
has been erected over 1t, plainly visi-
BILE from all points OF the compass. He
has issued instructions that his body
be burned on funeral pyre composed
: OF trees from his estate, the ashes col.
lected and buried in a spot close by
the grave or his daughter.

With The Golden Silence c. n. and
A. NJ. Williamson have entered upon

toned to travelling about Europe with
them at break-neck speed in a high
powered automobile and partaking In
the adventures that accompany the
motor-car stage of civilization. In
the Golden Silence we exchange our
speeding motor for the patriarchal
ship of the desert" and travel upon
his swaying back into the waste
places of the earth. OF course there
are still civilized people in 1t to form
the proper contrast, but the tone is
altogether that of the Orient; 1t ls
filed with the dust Of the Sahara.
The Golden Silence is a tale of the
adventures into which a little Ameri-
can dancer runs In quest for her
sister, who has been lost. She finds
herself thwarted by the Oriental guile
and deceit which deems II virtue to
foil the plans of an unbeliever, but
finally succeeds in discovering the
hiding place OF the missing sister.
There are plots and counter plots and
Vaccinations without end, but II ali
comes out properly for the last chat-

The Golden Silence Is full OF
dramatic action upon the background
OF the wonderful, mysterious desert.
The descriptions are done with power
and an appreciation of the spirit Of
the desert folk.
