PIRATICAL CHINAMEN
TERR0RIzE SEA ALANES
TO CAPTURE VESSELS

PEKING, Feb. IA recrudescence
of the activities of former Chinese Pi-
rates recently took place when the
kwang Lee, steamer bound frorl
Shanghai to Hong-Kong was boarded
by band of 80 Chinese who came
alongside in junks and demanded the
surrender of the vessel.
The pirates imprisoned the crew and
commanded the captain to continue
his course toward Hong Kong. Two
of the three iunks in which the pi-
rates had come alongside the Kwang
Lee were abandoned owing to the fact
that they were badly battered by the
heavy sea prevailing, while the third
was towed by order of the pirate chief
The steamer proceeded toward
Hong-kong, reaching Taisemi Bay late
one night when it was stopped and
the Chinese loaded their junks with
plunder.
DismantIed Engine.
Before leaving the ship they com
pletely dismantled the engines and the
pirate leader is reported to have bid
den a polite goodbye to the captain
of the Kwang Lee and sailed off. The
steamer managed to make it's port
some two days later
The plunder of the pirates amounted
TO some $4,000, including five cases
of silver dollars consigned to some
Chinese bank in Hong Kong. One
Chinese passenger was killed in the
boarding of the ship by the pirates
but they made up for this untoward
interest by compensating the father
of the killed passenger with present
of $500 and two gold watches.
The pirate crew has not been heard
from since the seizure of the Kwang
Lee.

Conservatives and Imperialists, in
which the latter will take the stand
that the proposed reductions will
threaten the safety of the empire and
weaken Great Britain's position over
