CAUSES FOR UNREST V IN EMPIRE MANIFOLD Principal Cause Is the Failure of Rice Crop, or the Cornering of It by Shrewd Chinese Brokers.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.
' Washington, June 18. Is there to be a general anti-foreign outbreak, a repetition of the Boxer uprising, In China? This is a question that not only the United States but every
world power is eanrestly considering.
Arrangements for the safety of foreigners, mainly missionaries, In China
have "been made by the nations of the world and these arrangements will
prove effective If the riotings do not
assume national importance and break
out simultaneously in all parts, es
pecially in the interior of China. On
the coast and at the inland mission
ary centers accessable to warships of
the United States and European countries no fear is felt for the safety of foreigners. That Is, no fear is felt
If the rioting is only local at these
ports and the Chinese soldiery assists
in the restoration of order and does
not follow the mobs as they did In the
famous troubles. Causes of the Unrest.
The causes of the unrest in China are manifold. Starvation Is the main one. The failure of the rice crops, the main staple of life, or, as Is the case at present, the cornering of the yearly rice output by those Chinese who have studied and mastered European and
United States financial methods. '
Then, again, there Is the constant agitation of the Chinese secret societies against the Imperial power. The Manchus for two hundred and sixty years have ruled' China. There are now about 10,000,000 Manchus In the country and every one-man, woman and child draws a pension from the Emperor. The Imperial army is made up principally of Manchus. The population of China, conservatively speaking Is 400,000,000. The Chinese, throh ing is 400,000,000. The Chinese, through their secret societies, have been trying for years to Inaugurate a successful revolution against the Manchus, seeking the re-establishment of a pure Chinese dynasty. The troubles at Hanking, where the United States cruiser New Orleans and the gunboat Helena are now stationed to afford protection to foreigners, is due to the efforts of the secret Chinese societies to start their annual revolution. The government has garrisoned Manklng with a strong army of loyal Manchus. Another Influence. There Is another important disturbing Influence In the present situation. It is the agitation of the Chinese rights party the cry of which is "China for the Chinese." This consists mainly of the less progressive element which objects to the foreign commercial Invasion, particularly In the building of railroads and government works. It is of such powerful influence that the Imperial government at Fekin is usually careful to antagonize it as little as possible. Strenuous objections were made by the organization to the Hukuang loan, the terms of which have Just been agreed upon by the" four financial groups of the powers Great Britain, France, Germany and the United 8tates. This lean calls for $30,000,000 for railroad extensions. This agitation naturally affects the ignorant classes of Chinese, who have an Inborn distrust of foreigners. In many cases, in constructing the railroads, the right of way passes over the burial plots which are scattered broadcast in China and which are regarded as sacred by the Chinese. For a long time this apparently unimportant obstacle held up the construction of Important roads, and it was only by agreeing to remove the ancestral remains from these numerous graves that the contractors were able to continue their work at all. The Chinese accepted this condition under protest and frequently trouble arose because the natives believed that the remains of their forefathers were not handled with sufficient reverence. Malaria Among Workmen. In the South. France especially, encountered extraordinary difficulty because of the ravages of malaria among the Chinese workmen. Deaths were co numerous that for a time the entire province was on the verge of rising up and attacking the French settlements. There are one or two Instances of the successful building of railroads by the Chinese themselves. These are used by the Chinese rights party as the basis for their argument, that the development of the empire should be left exclusively to the Chinese themelvesl Frequently; the chief agitators In this cause are students lately

A THOROUGH PROBE Senate Will Probably Investigate Deeply Into the Lorimer Bribery.
' (Continued on Page Three.)
Extensive preparations are being made by " members of Denver Brown Camp, United Spanish War Veterans, and the local lair of the Military order of the Serpent for the Initiatory work to be given new members from all over the state on Monday night. June 27th, the first day of the seventh annual meeting of the department encampment of the U. S. W. V. in this city next week. Charles J. Heinz, of Dayton, Ohio, past grand G. G. G. of the M. O. S. was in the city a short time ago completing arrangements for putting on the work, which will be given In the Pythian temple. The local lair was notified yesterday that ; the big snake, seventy-five feet in 1 length, would be shipped from Canton, Ohio, Monday morning. The members of the team live in Cincinnati. Columbus, Cleveland, Akron and Dayton, O. The parade to be given on Monday night will be different from anything seen in this city and will be headed by the Richmond Military band. The Ohio team appears in the parade, in the native costumes of the fiercest tribe of the Philippine Islands, most of the members having served in the army in those islands. The "victims" from a score of cities of this state will escort the "snake." The military order of the serpent owes its origin to the members of the United Spanish War Veterans. The ritual contains no thought or hint of anything approaching levity, although the men who have served In the army' or navy are more appreciative of the humorous side of life than the average citizen. A few years ago the press of the country was filled with the strange adventures of Lieutenant Gllmore and his command after having been captured by natives, who have a fierce hatred for the "Americano." - Captain F. M. Fanning, of Cleveland, Ohio and Lieutenant Walter S. , MacAaron, of Lima, Ohio, were- members of the troop of soldiers which rescued Gilmore after days of pursuit Returning to their native state after the war these men, using their own experiences and those of Gilmore, formed a work of Initiation that will try the nerve of the best. These men are members of the Ohio team and will be here.
EXPECT REPORT MONDAY
(American News Service) Washington, June 18. The Senate
committee on privileges and elections
today authorized a favorable report
on a substitute for the Lorimer resolution. Involving the matter of alleged bribery in connection with the election of the Illinois senator. The substitute is more sweeping and comprehensive than the original Lorimer resolution and directs that an investigation be had In all alleged corrupt practices in the Illinois legislature involving the election of Senator Lorimer. It is the opinion of the members
of the committee that the men will conduct the investigation late this fall
and present a report at the opening of the short session in December. There is no disposition to begin investigation at once.
In the Senate the Lorimer resolu
tion without objection was referred to
the committee on contingent fund to
consider the matter of expense. This committee probably will report next
Monday.

BERLIN
IS
WORRIED
Berlin, June 18. Belief Is growing
that the favorable official reports put
out as .to the condition of Emperor
William are designed to conceal
really serious condition of his health

that the present trouble with his knee as well as the recent ailment that pre
vented the use of his right hand are
more than local disorders. Prof. Bier,
one of the leading German specialists.
was called in consultation today by
the physicians who have been attend-
ing the emperor.

GOLD SOVEREIGNS Today let's knock off work! Mme. Nature is giving a demonstration. If I were writing an ad I don't think I could tear myself away from the page in the old dog eared grammar. , J I can see the words sizzling on the page "Hot-Hotter-Hottest"
I paused this morning over my desk a pamphlet had been lying there for over three months. Frankly it Is an advertisement. But I couldn't bear to throw It away. Julian Hawthorne, novelist and son of his father wrote It, . The letter which goes with it is better than most of his novels. I pass it on to you and will not preach a moral.
"Lest you take alarm at this second invasion of your innocent seclusion. I will remind you of the anecdote of the man who tried to give away English gold sovereigns, and nobody would take any of them. On a wager this gentleman, relying on his .knowledge of human nature, stood at the busiest hour of the day at the corner of London Bridge, with -a big, pewter dish full of genuine gold sovereigns in his hand. Rattling the gold alluringly in the pewter, he besought all who passed to take one, no strings to it of any sort. But one and all either stared incredulously, frowned suspiciously, or smiled knowingly, and passed on unenriched. And at the end of the hour, the gentleman who knew human nature had just as many sovereigns in his dish as when he started, and the other party to the wager had to pay up. On no page of this new story will you find a coupon, to be torn off and filled In with your name and address; nor will any courteous and plausible agent call on you and browbeat yon into doing something that you don't want to. In earlier ages, I used to write stories for a living. Now I am writing these, and sending them to you gratis, because I like to, and because it amuses me to do something which nobody happened to think of doing before. If the stories entertain you, have ' no misgiving about letting them do so ; that is all they were meant for. The London Bridge gentleman was a cynic; but for my part the more I learn of human nature, the higher do I esteem it. I would not have been afraid of his gold sovereigns; and you need not be afraid of my little stories. "Meanwhile, believe me, very sincerely yours, ' "JULIAN HAWTHORNE."
