So thoroughly interwoven with secret societies is the Chinese Em- pire that it is a marvel the national
> existence maintains itself. , on earth presents such a spectacle in | this regard. Long as the life of those
No country
societies has been, and so wonderfully imbued with their principles as the
, people are, the dawn of their extin-
guishment seems to have flickered on the mystic East. The western sun of enlightenment shall soon, in = all probability and hope, shed a news light over China.
The life of the secret societies dates from the second century of the Chris- tian era, an existence vouched for by history. They are diverse in the ele ments of which they are composed, in their rules and practices, although most of them, especially the Triad, which is the most important of them all, have such extraordinary analogy with West- ern Freemasons as to simply a com- munity of origin. The only foreigner who ever cbtained admission to the Triad, namely, an Englishman of the name of Mason, achieved this feat on the strength of his belonging to the higher grades of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonary. Originally a form of Oriental mysticism, these societies be- came political factors toward the seventeenth century, and until a year or so ago had in view as their principal object the overthrow of the Manchu or Tartar dynasty, and as watchword “China for the Chinese.” The Tai- Ping rebellion of forty and fifty years ago was fostered and promoted by the ‘Triad, and came near overthrowing the Pekin Government, which it could doubtless have accomplished had it enjoyed the co-operation of the other secret societies.
To-day the meaning of the watch- word of the various secret societies, “China for the Chinese’’is changed. For the aim is no longer anti-dynastic, nor do they seek the expulsion of those ten or twetve millon Manchus who, for the last two hundred years, have imposed themselves as the ruling class over four hundred miilion Chin- ese, compelling them to adopt the Manchu style of hair dress, namely, a pigtail, in taken of subjection. Today the secret societies have for their ob- ject the expulsion of the foreigner from the land. It isa mistake to be lieve that the Chinaman is a stranger to patriotism. His fibre of patriotism has been utilized by that extraordinary clever woman, the Dowager Empress, to rally the entire nation into the pres- entation of a virtually united front to the foreigner, to» convert the secret societies from anti-dynastic into anil- foreign movements, and to achieve that which the Triad sought in vain to bring about at the time ofthe Ta Ping rebellion, namely, co-operation of all secret societies one with another against the common foe, which this time is not the Manchu, but the white foreigner.
It cannot be denied that for more than half a century China has been subjected to a degree of indigniy, in- sult, extortion ard bullying on the part of foreign powers which no Christ- ian power would have tolerated. ‘l'reat- ies have been imposed upon her by force, her finest harbors seized, and vast stretches of her littoral succes- sively placed under foreign rule. She has been compelled to consent to agreements providing for the transfer of her immense river trade to foreign flags, and for the gridironing of the en- tire land by foreign-built and foreign- controlled railroads, while for every concession made by her a dozen new ones have been presented by the foreign powers. At length, exasperated be- yond endurance and driven to the wall, the Empress issued in December last an address to the viceroys of the vari- ous provinces. “The foreign powers cast upon us looks of tigerlike voracity, hustling each other in their endeavours to be the first to seize upon our inner- most territories,” she declared. ‘They fail to understand that there are cer- tain things which this empire can never consent to do, and that, if hard pressed,

we have noalternative but to rely on the justice of our cause.” Four weeks later another edict was despatched to the same officials by the Dowager Em- press, who, according to widespread belief in the Orient, has English blood in her veins, her mother having been an Eurasian, or child of a white father and a Manchu mother. In this sec- ond edict the viceroys were warned to exercise a prudent discrimination to- ward the disturbers of public peace. “The reckless fellows,” who band together and create riot on the pre- text of securing reforms, were to be punished, while those “‘oyal- sub- jects who learn gymnastic drill for the protection of their families and their

But she has now, according to all ap- pearances, cut herself adrift from her Moscovite entanglements, realizing that Russia is niore ravenous than any other foreign power for Chinese territory and constitutes a more seri- ous peril to the integrity and inde- pendence of the empire than any other nation. The Empress is resolved to rely on the Chinese alone, and by cleverly appealing to the keen love for their native land, and above all, te their fierce and fanatic abhorrence of

This was the first heard of the so- called Boxers—openly a society for the cultivation of gymnastics, secretly an anti-foreign political movement, some- | i thing like those “Turn Vereine,” or}! gymnastic societies, which played so] i important a political role in Germany | t at the beginning of the present century. From that time forth the so-called} s Boxers were more er less openly en-j|t couraged by the Empress. came a means of union among all the} s various secret societies, and if today these societies in all parts of the im-

There is every reason to believe |s that on this occasion the Dowager Empress has at her back not merely her Manchu retainers but all China,
seething population of more than feur hundred millions, who are almost in- sensible to pain, have no fear of death and are imbued with fierce hatred of the foreigner. Itis true that both Canton and Pekin were occupied some forty years ago by an allied Franco- English army of fifteen thousand or twenty thousand men. But the late Sir Harry Parkes, who accompanied the commanding general as chief in-|t terpreter, explained long afterwards | ; at Tokio that Canton,as well as Pekin, were such immense cities that the Anglo-French forces only occupied a smail quarter thereof, and that the re- mainder ot the two cities were so little under their control that each morning the heads of those European soldiers who had strayed beyond the cordon ot sentinels during the night would be hurled from neighboring houses into the Anglo-French lines. Indeed, the so-called seizure of these immense capitals was so ineffective that not one | ¢ in a thousand Chinamen will admit that it really took place, and even Chinese who were living in Pekin at the time of its e@ccupation have de- clared by all they held sacred that the story must be untrue, seeing that they never set eyes ona French or English soldier at the time alleged. More- over, Chinese history ascribes the de- struction of the celebrated summer pal- ace not tothe Frendh and English troops, as was really the case, but to Divine agencies, as punishment of sacrilege on the part of one of the members of the Imperial family. Russia and Japanare the only two powers that can invade China now and place large armies in the field. The former has at the present moment probably one hundred thousand sol- diers stationed at Vladivostock, Port Arthur, and along the south-eastern frontier of Siberia. Japan, on the other hand, has an army of at Ieast twice that number of men, assembled at various points on the Mikado’s Empire, ready for immediate transport across the small stretch of sea that separates Japan from China. ‘The
