The settlement oC the war between China
and Japan Is likely to result In a decided
change In the geography of AsIa. So far
.
' neither England nor Ituasla has made any
open claims liS to whllt they want of China ,
but the Ports [ oC Asia are full of all \ sorts of
rumors. IL Is welt \ known that the Russians
are milking their surveys oC the harbors on
the east coast of Corea , wIth nn idea of mnk.
lug one of them the termInus of the Trans-
Siberian ' road , and the latest Inside news Is
that the ng\1sh \ have offered the Chinese a
large SUIII of money In exchange for the
Island of Formosn. China can hardly hope
to rnlso money Cram her own people without
a revolution anti the consequent establishment - -
mont of n new government. The empire \ , In
fact , Is totterIng , and the people neither
care for war nor for the government. In the
I\'onls of n leal1\ng \ business mnn of Shanghai ,
In a. letter \I hleh I have received ( luring the
past week , they consider the trouble with
the Japanese the el11peror's "IJlgeon , " or busl.
ness. lIe hus gotten Into It , they say , now
let hIm get out of It , There Is no land In
the world where taxes are so low , nor ,
trungo liS It may seem 10 say so , where the
peolle have so much Ilower , anti where the
Iovernlllent Is to such n large extent repub-
IIcnn. The Chinese wilt not be able to pay
the indemnity < 1emn\1l1ell < by Japan except by
glvlnl or mortgaging some of their lerrl-
tory. The result Is , the outlyIng \ Provinces of
' China will be In the l11arltal.
MONGOLIA ANI ) lIIANCIIUI\IA.
Few PeoPle have any Idea of the immense
which China has outside
r extent of lerrllory
of the empire prolJer. It Ii larger than the
whole United Slates , IInlt It Is more than nil
I urope. Manchuria , which lies to the norlh-
eut of ChIna , and on the edge of which the
Japanese troops have been lighting , Is equal
to ten slalcs the Blzo of OhIo , or eight the
Ilzo of New Yorle. Mongolia , further to the
westward h about half ns bIg as the whole
United Slates , ead 1 the Immense province oC

territor Thlbet practically belongs to !

Mongolia care but little for China. They are
or n dIfferent < race and < they would < accept
the government of the Japanese quite as
readily < as that of PekIng. I met many of
theo men during my stay In Asia. 1 first
came In contact with them In the Chinese
capital. I travel with them on my way
10 the great wall , and I saw hundreds < Qf
them In my journey through flberla. : ; The
Mongols have 11 market In Peking. It Ie
just back oC the EnglIsh legatlcn , and the
houses surrounding a great SlIUlr : here are
owned by them , and the court 11 l filled \ \ IIh
camels and < greasy Manchurians. All the
trade < at Manchuria and Mongolia ; Is i carried <
on camels. They bring coal skins and < bean
cake from the north down throug'l the great
wall Into China , and carry brick tea and all
,
kInds of merchandise < back. I have Been 50 '
camels In a single caravan slowly moving
alon ! ; In single ' file over the country. I have
travled Cor miles side < by side with these
camels , talking throus an Interpreter [ with
the copper-faced men /11111 / women who rode
Ihelll , and < I have again and again been
threatened by the fiercer oC the leaders < as :
Passed < them on my way through the country' .
I was surprised < at the ehe : oC the Tartars ,
They are big men , many or them six feel
In height , and their features are for ill
the worlll like \ those of our American In < 1lans.
Their complexion Is about the same , and <
their eyes are less almond In shape than
those of the Chinese. They have fierce eyes ,
which look at you over high cheek lacs
and under thIck Cur caps
They dress In shieepskins and both womel1
and men wear l13ntaloons , and < the women
ride < astride. I remember one girl who
passed ' me on n cauIII. : Her divided < skirt
was made < of sheepskin , with tIme fur turned
Inwar < , and her fur , cap was Ilulled well
down < over her l''es. I said "Gooll da ) ' " to
her as wo passed , anti liar oid Tartar hus-
balll whipped III' his camel nnd put his hand
on his knife as I came up I hooked ] < him In
the eye and said , "How 10 < you Ilo ? " Ho answered -
swerell by mocking me and giving me to
understand < that I had bettor keep away. hInd
I not had < a good < party of men around me I
doubt not that he would have assaulted < me.
QUEER CAMELS ,
There are 110 camels In the worlll like
those Mongolian beasts. The camels of Af-
rica and India have short hair like that of
fairly well groomed horse The climate Is
warm suit , they need little prolecllon. These
camels oC Mongolia arc covered < with wool
which hangs hi" great hocks down < from nil
parts of their bodies. In some places It Is
from eight to ten Inches IQns , anti It gives
them EO warm a coat that they can stand
the rigors of a SiberIan winter. For cen-
turie this wool has gone to waste. It was
allowed to drop ort or the camels during the
summer anti It rolled by the wayside
Within the I'asl ' few years , however , It has
become an article of COlllmerce , anti great
bales oC It are shipped to London < . I
saw some overcoats In China which
were made < from It , They looked hike
Chinchilla . coals , but they were wonderfully <
light : ; and very warm The natural color of
this wool Is a rich , llark brown , It la now
being used by the Chinese In lIIalllng TIS ,
amid beautiful carpets ; , so sort that you seem i .
to be walking on velvety moss when you I'ass '
over them are made from It. These rugs
are wonderfully cheap , anti I nm bUf\Jrlsed \
that they are not shlppe,1 , to the United
Stntes. These camels have , as a rule , two
hlllll1S [ which are bald to bo pure fat , and
are delicious If lrOlerly [ cooke < . Their feet
are soft and spongy and they become worn
OUt In traveling over the rough roads of
north China.
In going through the Nalllow pass , about
100 miles north oC PekIng , I passed over the
road which has formed the leading highway
between Manchuria and Mongolia for centu-
ries. It II tIlled with ragged granite rock
anti Is terribly hard on the tenrler.footM
camels. Some of the beasts I saw hail their
feet worn 10 shreds and sonic of them limped
h'rrlbly. The loligols let them go I\S long III
they CIUI and when their feel become raw
they will patch them , They do thll by
throwIng the animal on Its side and tying Its
feet together , They lIext bind hIs bear ) back
to hIs hump and then clean : out the \\OUnt\
and take a piece of raw cowhIde from a
freehly hilled oeet and lOW It to time lIdo of
time foot. Whether the skin grows on or not
I do not know , but the camel soon recovers
and builds < up n new foot under tIme hide.
These camels are fastened together In n cara-
van In a. curious way A stick Is run through
their noses , and one end of this has n knob
so large that It cannot be pulled through.
To the oilier end of the stick a. rope Is tied ,
and title rope Is tied to the saddle < or pack of
this camel In front , and thus the whole cara-
van Is fastened together , as It were , with
clothes pins and clothes lines It Is Impossible
to estimate the number of these camels that
are In lise They are continually marching
through Peking At certain times oC tIme
year they fill the roads < leading Into Mongolia
IIItC fences , and you see them everywhere on
their low , measured trot , moving across the
countr ) " .
A DIRTY RACE.
This Mongols ; are perhaps as dirty < ns any -
other people In the worl < 1. Those whom I
saw were greasy and filthy , both lIS to their I
clothes allll theIr persons. I am told they
never wash tlTelr bodies < . and seldom their
faces allll hands. TIIO poorer classes dress In
rags , but the richer wear costly i'arments
hued with the finest hamnhmkimi I have n
IJleturo or n Mongolian princess who wls at
Pokimig n year or EO ago Her head' was
framell In silver beads < , and < she had < Ions
tassels of silver hanging down from her black
Cur call. Her hair was done < up In two long
braids . which were pulled over time breast.
ThesIJ braids are often smeared with
glue , which makes the hair shine
and : keeps It In placl' The girl was
very beautiful and some of the
younger girls are by no means bad looking
They fade soon , however , amid the older <
1'Olen ! whom I saw , made me think of our
lIullnn squa\\'s. They have no night clothes
and they sleep In the same garments which
they use during < the 1ay. < They have no
such things ns Btoves. A fire Is built Inside
their tent and the smoke goes / out at , the
roof. 'rhe tents are mmmdc < of Kkln amid sOme-
times oC cloth. They are circular In shupe ,
and the people huddle < 1 < lip In them and sit
amid sleep where they can.
HIIICK TEA AND POWDERED MUTTON
Time clhlef business of the Tartars Is cattle
breedimmg < , and they have large flocks or
sheep. These sheep have fat tails , amid I
saw some tails whIch welghe < , I was told ,
from thirty to forty poulll1s. WIn.3Imeep : (
Is very fat It Is sometlmCfI necessmlr' - td' lie

ground ! . ThIs : ' Mongolian mnutomi ! Udall I good
us any you will IInl1 In time world , amid
these rat tails are especially' delicious The
Mongols use the fat In making brick tea
soup. They mash lip little bricks of tea ,
amid when the water Is boiling they put In
some of this mutton fat amid milk amid eat
this whole as a soup. The bricks In which
the tea Is made are about tell Inches square ,
se\'en Inches wide amid three Inches
thick , They look like chocolate and are
bomettmes malle In snimmiber sIzes In all- I
dltlon to thIs , tIme ) ' eat buttermilk , curds !
and whey. They are very fond of Inloxl-
eating liquors , and they have a beer made
of mare's milk upon which they keep them-
selves about half drunk Their mutton Is
frozen at the beginning of winter , and the
weather Is so cold tllllt It will keep unlit
sprln It Is salll In Thlbet that mutton
can be kept for years The air la very dry <
11I111 very cold , and after n few days the
thesIs becomes so dry that It can bo powdered -
tIered with the halll amid < be stored away
like lIour. The Thlbelana use this mullen
wlllout , ctoklmig alld It la said not to need
salt
A NATION Ol IIUIDI11STS.
The Mongols ) \ mire lIIore religious than time
Cblnet . They may bC' ' called almoot a ns-
tlon of lIuddhhllt , though there are a few
Iohammedanl among them. They have a
number of temples inside of PekIng , and
there are about 1.500 01 these people who
live In the Chlne-6e capItal The biggest
monastery In Peking 18 owned by the ) mlon
gala amid the Thlbelana. It hal hundreds of
priests , and they are the most Intolerant and
superstItious of their kine ! , Forelgner are by
uo meanl safe In goIng through It. They are
liable 10 be mobbed , and It la only by bribing
and lIghting that on" can get Isis way out.
TherE are three living Duddhas In the world
Ont "C theu II In Lhuea , another III eome-
where In Mongolia , and < the other Is In Pe-
king. I became Indirectly acquainted < with
the brother of the livlng-1uddhia \ at Peking ,
and < I was told < Ihat tIs Bud < 1ha was fond of
cigars and liquors , and that he now and < then
went about Incog. , like dJaroun Alraschl < .
There are numerous temples scattered over
Mongolia amid < Thlbet Is said .Lo ba a. country
ot temples I was within ninety miles of
'rhlbel during 'my stay In .Darjlllng , In the
Himalaya mountains , and the Thlbetans
whom I saw both here and in Peking were
about the same as the Mongols. I am told <
that Ihe. people of both cOllntrles do IIltle
but swing prayer wheels drink whisky and <
keep themooh'es dlrly. I heard treat stories
about theIr monasterIes and their temmiples
Some oC the Thlbelan towris are a mere col-
lectlon of temples , and some of their monas-
terles have copper roofs plated 'wlth gel < 1 ,
Lhassa , the Thlbetan capita , has about 15,000 ,
people and < the most of thins's' ! are priests
The Chinese bulldoze the Thlbotans allll the
Mongolians , amid they blurrl them into n anl
oC miependemice < upon thiemul. The Thlbetans
and Mongolian priests who ! I I saw In Thlbet
were dressed < In brlghl yellow gowns. They
were , as a rule br ld- l.oull1ere . < 1 , thick-
nosed , hlgh-eheek-bonE. fe lows ' with small ,

HOW MONGOLIA IScIOVEI1NED .
'rhe Mongolians are divle'l ' ' imp [ Into tribes ,
and they are governed fem Peking. 'fhe
emlJeror appoillts governolt general , und all
of the tributary pro\'lncqd of China have
mllllary governors , and thole lire Chinese aol-
dlers 10 enCorce their edlchl. As a rule , how-
ever , the people are oppretsed In ever ) ' pos-
slblo way , The government hI cOrrUIJt , and <
the man 11'110 can par the moat call do as he
pleases. Manchuria Is rljlell by mllltnry
boarl1s. Some parts oC M ngolla have t'helr
own ollleials , under the go\ernm'nt nt Pe-
lting. Time provInce Dr Ill Is ruled by a mill- ,
tary governor , and In older Mongolia there
18 a great llama , l11uch ; , like the aile at
Thlbet , who Is a sort of livIng Budthima < , and <
who rules the rounln" He Is said to he nrr
rich , Ills capital [ Ig'1.110\'IIlla . Urge , amid It
Is the hll1gest city In Monjolla. 1l eonlllins

an Imposing imalace 'fhe people reverence
hIm and the Chinese rule this pert of the
country throllgh him. It Is milch the Bame In
"hlhel , amid time government Is a combInation
of religious corruption and Cblliese 1e9110thll1. <
Inner Mongolia has a dla rent goyernment ,
and , In fact , the whole of -She tributary pro-
\'Inces of China are managed In a way whIch
Is practically IInknown to l1le worl < 1. The
settlement of the present trouble will probably -
ably lead to their exploration , and the world
will , for the first lime In its history , han
