THE QUESTION as to how the Boxers were so thoroughly armed, and where the funds came from, has just been brought to light. It now appears, according to Northern Native newspapers, that before soy of the Powers dreamed of a Boxer rising, Junglu had every- thing planned. Before the coup d'etat in 1898, Junglu had amassed a sum of no less than 70,000,000 taels, chiefly by imposition of taxes in the various provinces, Kwang Tung itself being responsible for taels 7,000,000, collected by Kang during his tenure of office in Canton. The arms were bought in America and Europe, ostensibly for the use of the Imperial army, but secretly for the Boxers With what effect these arms were used, against us we all know... and yet.
