less there are two sides to the story of
ence gone wrong, Originally it WOES the Boxers in China. You will notice
‘
by the dispatches that there are rail -
'organized as a protest and a means of
road riots in the Shangtung peovince,
defense against the bandits with which
:the province of Shangtung was infest-
aal. It was, in fact, a law and order
league.
At that time the life and property of
so honest man were safe. The bandits
were not wild ruffians, such as those
.of Italy or the American west, but on
the contrary seemed to be men of
peace. By day they toiled as shoemak-
ers, carpenters, farmers and what not,
but at night they repaired to their
strongholds in the mountains and from
them made descents upon villages in
which any man was reported to possess
a store of money worth the having.
It was such attacks as this, repeated
.over and over again in Villages through-
out the province, that :resulted in the
-organization of the Boxers. But they
were not called Boxers then. Their
name was Ta Tao Hwel, which means
"The Society of the Great Sword."
More recent is the name Universal So-
eietY of Boxers, but the change signi-
fies little. In fact, change of name
among secret societies is frequent. One
name is kept until an edict of suppres-
sion is issued against it, and then a
new name is adopted, and the society
goes on as if nothing had happened.
The present outbreak, which has
smoldered for months only tp start
again with redoubled fury, was raised
In 1890. The missions had enjoyed
peace for some timeand regarded the
future as full of hope; but on May 10,
1891, two nuns, who were going home
from a visit to Some sick people, were
maltreated by a mob, who charged
them with bewitching children. The
mission houses were ,plundered, and
this was the signal for the renewal of
the disturbances all through China.
These became worse and worse, ex-
citing more and more resentment in
Europe math, at last, some German
priests were murdered and the mission
tooted at Shangtung. This was follow-
ed by the seizure by the Germans of
the port of Tsin Tau.
• The Shangtung Chinese connected
these two events and swore vengeance
on the Germans, and incidentally upon
all foreigners and Christians. It was
.at this time that the Great Sword so-
.eiety began to make itself obnoxious.'
They bad previously been proscribed
by the government for local reasons
and temporarily suppressed, but now
they became bolder than ever and in-
augurated a reign of terror throughout
Shangtung. Native Christians were
robbed, beaten and murdered, and
their houses destroyed. Many of them
were forced to recant and some of the
chapels were looted, but no mission-
aries were killed. So bold was the ac-
tion of the society and so flagrant their
outrages that Yu Hsien, the governor
of Shangtung, was ordered to proceed
against them. As has been said, be is

struggle for existence. Every inch of

engineers who show a most brutal in-
-ty of the people. They run their lines
across the farms; they tear down
houses, burn villages, destroy crops,
seize supplies, impress labor and treat
the people in a most cruel and arbi-
trary manner. If the same things
should occur in the United' States or in
Europe or in any other part of the
world, they would be attended by the
'same results. The Boxers were organ-
ized to resist and avenge these out-
rages, and they use the only means
within their power to punish their op-
pressors. A Chinaman never gets any
sympathy either in America or else-
where, and the consciousness of that
fact compels him to carry on his opera-
tions with as great secrecy as possible.
If the German and -Belgian railroad
people would treat the poor cooly
farmers of the Shangtung province in
a just and honorable manner and give
theth fair compensation.for the proper-

would be no need of sending fleets to

demnity at the tsung-li-yamen,

America's Favorite Spice.
Nutmeg is a favorite American spice,
and 1,500,000 pounds are annually int -
ported into this country to supply the
demand. In Europe the consumption
of nutmegs is comparatively little,
while inany other spices are used twice
as much as in this country. The nut-
megs are graded according, to their
size. The best quality of nutmegs runs
70 to 80 to the pound, and the next
grade avereges 300 to 110 to the poutal.

Of late years England has been run-

for additional supplies. Exports from
both countries have been steadily in-
creasing of late, and the last year the
Quantity sent over, especially from the
United States, was the greatest on rec-
ord. In 1898 shipments showed a big
increase over the previous year and in-
cluded one straight shipment of 20 car-
loads from Illinois, the stock being
shipped to Montreal and then down to
Boston ' and on steamer, favorable
freight rates having attracted it over
the route.
The orders for 1899 were even great-
er than they were the previous year,
dealers in several markets having re-
ceived orders of more or less impor-
tance, while large orders were placed
In the 'west. Altogether these orders
foot up to about 6,000,000 pounds,
which is equal ,to 00,000 boxes, 3,000

sentatives are takiug small lots contin-
