MYSTERY AT THE QUEEN'S.

"RAFFLES" COMES TO THRILL HONGKONG.

The Queen's programme for Thursday till Saturday should cor- tainly please everyone. Buster Keaton will be seen in "Seven' Chances", one of the best pictures he has over mode, and "Raffles”, A CORRECTED TRANSLATION. the "Man of Mystery, brings with him an act that for years has head-

ed the bill on the American vaudeville stage.

On Tuesday, April 19, there was published in the North China Daily News, a translation of the "Red" Catechism forced upon every South- ern Boldier and mny other Chinese who can read and with whom the "nationalist' agents come in touch. Since then, a still more violent document has been sent in, which, it is stated, is a word per- fect translation, though the other. was substantially correct so far as it went.

Question-How are our Chinese people oppressed and persecuted?

Answer-1-Both the Ind forces and the sen forces of the various strong countries can come to China at their pleasure.

3-These various strong coun- tries acize and usurp territories that are deurly China's, such as Shang- hai, Hankow, Canton, Weihaiwei, Hongkong, Port Arthur, Dairen, Cunton Harbour, and such-like places. Although some of them are still called Rented-Districts (or Concessions), in truth they are under the domination of the prin ciple of Imperialism of the out- side countries.

4-The Maritime Customs are our treasury. The Customs re- ceipts is our government's most im- portant revenue, but foreigners have usurped control. The revendes have been fixed by treaty, and we are not able to freely change them. All duties are collected by them, and we have not the liberty to take and use them. The keys of THAT treasury are already in the grasp of foreigners. Truly it is enough to bring about our financial death.
