AFFAIRS IN SHANTUNG.
It is very evident that affairs in Shantung are in a very sad state, and we are afraid that
our German friends will have a deal of trouble before they will be able to bring into subjection the unruly natives of that province. We have received from our correspondent a deal of valu- able information which we give below. Our readers will be able to judge by this corres- pondence the vast amount of worry the Ger mans in Shantung are likely to have before they can expect make matters to work smoothly. Our correspondent has taken special pains to secure accuracy in the statements that follow, and where he could not go himself be sent reliable men to make the necessary enquiries. He is a missionary of very high standing, who began work in the Chi-me district in 1865, and have continued to work there ever since. There are now in the Chi-me distriot about one thousand Church members and ad- berents in connection with his work, therefore he naturally feels concerned about the state of affairs there, and what he hopes is that in some
way there will be a turn in affairs, so that poor old China will either begin a new life, or cease to be China as she is now ruled. How ever, after a number of days spent in the Chi-me district he and others thoroughly believe that the following statements can be sub- stantiated:
1. Early in the second Chinese month of this year (March) a sect was organized in western Chime called the Great Knife Sect.
The names of ten men have been given me. It is said these men are chief leaders and under them is a leader for every ten members of the seot.
- ་।
The object of this sect so far as can be learned from outside sources is unrelenting hostility to the Christian religion and to all for- eigners. In front of the leaders' doors are sus- pended red flags about three feet square. In the centre of the flag are written four characters from the Lunyn, which seems to be understood to mean Vigilance Committee for Mutual Pro- tection, also with the leader's name and village. It is estimated that the enrolled members now number more than one thousand and daily in- creasing.
II-On the 18th of the 2nd month (March 24th) this sect began a systematic' persecution

of Christians at the village of Ten-kia-chwang I have the name of fourteen villages which have been attacked, and the names of men represent ing sixty families, who within twenty days attacked and robbed by this lawless and un- reasonable sect. The crowd rushed into the homes of the Christians and carried off every- thing that could be found, also drove -
away cattle, mules, etc. Any who tried to protect their homes or property were savagely beaten. A number received serious injury. The per seontion was confined to members of the Catholio church until early morning April 14th Wang Ihuin, one of the head men living in the village of Who Liu Chwong, 50 li west of Chi-me city, led a crowd of upwards of thirty men and first looted the chapel of the American Presbyterian Church, then went to the home of Fan Heo C'hing, a member of the same ohurch, and cleared the house of everything. The grain supply for a large family until new harvest crop, clothing, bedding, dishes, kettles, farming implements, etc. were all carried to the home of the leader. A cow was taken, which, the following day, was sold for twenty two thousand cash to one of their members and the money turned over to the treasurer of the new seot. The mob next went to Whongwo a village three li north and pillaged the homes of two Catholic families. Many of these people do not dare to return to their desolated homes for fear of still more hostile treatment. They are in deep poverty, many, who under different circumstances would aid them, are afraid to supply them with food food for fear of bringing hostility upon them. selves.
III.-April 15th I sent a statement of what had happened at Who Liu Chwang to the Chi- me Magistrate and told him. that not only were the lives and property of my church members in jeopardy but my own life and the lives of my preachers were threatened and asked for instruction. The Magistrate did not deign to reply or even sand a card acknowledge : ing my letter. Evidently a foreigner's pass- port does not count for much at the Chi-me yamen at present, one of the secretaries in
the yamen told my messenger that all the complaints made by the Catholics were found to be false and the presumption was that my complaint was also unture.
Thus far it is said no one has been arrested.
Twice the magistrate has gone to the disturbed district to give the people fatherly advice and request them to obey the laws and live at peace with their neighbours. The rioters understand his action to mean, that they have his sympathy and approval in all they are doing. The men sent from the Yamen to see the wounded men, it is said; reported concerning one man, whose head was battered by the rioters so that his life was almost despaired of, that he was suffering from a severe attack of boils and not from any other injury. The Yamen runners, sentin answer to the reported complaints from the persecuted and injured people, were always entertained and feasted by the rioters, and as a rule never went near the Christians nor looked into their empty
houses.
Chi-me magistrate, even if willing to protect IV. It is believed by all parties that the
the Christians in their rights, is powerless and dare not oppose this new seat. The majority of the soldiers supposed to police and preserve order in the Chi-me hien are said to be farmers, who are summoned to meet and play soldier for a few days when a visit is ex- pected from the Governor. During the rest of the year they remain at home and carry on their ordinary occupation. Such men are not naturally much feared by their neighbours.
The persecuted people at present scarcely- dare to speak in the presence of members of this sect, as they have been threatened with loss of life and confiscation of houses and land if by any means they give testimony which will lead to the arrest and punishment of any of the rioters. It is said leading members of this sect are daily seen in conversation with the various secretaries and men in the
yamen, and also visit the Chief Magistrate.
