THE EMPRESS DOWAGER

NEVER FORGETS.”

700,000 BANNERMEN READY.

This is the constant boast of the Empress Dowager Tre-bsi-tuan-yu, etę., etc, and this she always declares to these around her when- ever the events of 1900 and 1901 are referred to in her presence This means, of course, that she will not forget her sufferings and the sufferings of her people in. Peking and Chibli at that time,, and is still possessed with the one idea of obtaining revenge on the barbarians of the West. To obtain these ends, she knows from ex- perience that her present Manchu Banner troops are perfectly useless, and that site must bent the barbarians with their own weapons and forms of fighting. She knows that she has the material for the formation of a numerous army from amongst Manchus alone-leaving out any question of extraneous hid from the Chinese armies of her Viceroys and Gover nors, for, according to

---

THE LATEST SECRET CENSUS or roll-call instituted at her instructions, she has nearly 700,000 Bannermen between the ages of eiglueen and forty-six at her beck and call. Hence we are now informed from a reliable quarter that she is having her Manchus secretly enrolled and has 30,000 men divided into a number of regiments and half regiments -to avoid the notice of outsiders-who are as siduously drilled and have been armed with the mast molem weapons. These men are scattered over various parts of the country antare to form the nucleus of a great army of over half a million men, entirely officered by Manchus, thereby forming a distinct and independent body of men prepared not only to defend the dynasty from western barbarians, but even from Chinese malcontents.

THE DANGER HAS NOW PASSED OVER;"

as we write we are in receipt of news from a trustworthy nat ve source that General Ting has inflicted a very severe defeat on the Boxer army that was making its way down the Little River in our direction. General Ting attacked the Boxers in their Chaf of fortress, of Yang- taochi, between Hochon and Taibochen, killed and captured the greater number, only two hundred, of whom many were wounded, escap- ing by fight. The district is now reported quiet and as, from Tatsu, on the other side, we learn that the country is quite tranquil, we trust the disturbances are practically at an end. It is true, we hear of Boxers assembling and drilling in Yunnan and Kúejchou provinces as

BOXERS SEVERELY DEFEATED

The Boxer disturbances," says the West

· China Missionary Vetos seem to be growing, and we feel anxious on behalf of our friends in the disaffected regions. Details of street fight- ing at Chéngtu show that 24 Poxers entered the city led by a woman, and in fighting some damage was done and shops closed. Eight of the Boxers were killed, twelve punished, and the woman leader beheaded. A Meichou, on the river between Kiating and Chéngtu, the Boxer have burnt a Church and are reported to be moving Taninghsien-wards. It is reported that the officials of zichou and Taughsien district are taking evere measures against the Boxers, of whom. 300 have been killed at Lochi.

RECORD YIELD OF WHEAT INDIAN, CORN AND OATS.

This is the greatest season that the farmers of the West have ever known. Not a crop has failed them, and the yield of all crops, as well as the acreage, has been better than ever before. The Department of Agriculture estimates that the total yield of wheat is 650,000,000 bushels, worth 455,000,000dols ; the total yield of Indian corn is 2,650,000,000 bushels, worths, 1,063 000,000018.; and the total yield of oats is 935,000,000 busliels, worth 280,500,000dols; making the total value to the farmer of these three crops 1,795,500,000duls.

These figures give some idea of the basis of American prosperity. With the buying capacity of the farmers bigber than ever before, on ace count of the crops that they have to sell to Europe, there can be no real depression in the United States.

Of course, there are inflated values in capi." talisation, but they will na collap e, as a rufe, until the basis of wealth weakens.
