TAX GATHERERS HARRY PEOPLE N Weakness of Central Government at Peking; Afforded Opportnnltr to Progressive Chinamen Who Have Stndled Abroad. CANTON, China, Dec. 9. The revolu tion long: expected and' long in prepara tion has come. Foreign residents had bo come so accustomed to reports of con spiracles and antl-lmporlallst movement. that even they were amared when the llsrtng took place in great force and un der trained leaderihip. The driving: motives of the Insurrection are economic quite as much as political. The Impoverishment of the Chinese Is probably far greater than It was a gen eration ago. The people have been more harried by the tax collectors even dur ing the last ten 'years than they were previous to the Boxer uprising. The prea hiire of the Imperial government and the provincial consuls for money has crushed the mass of the people until their misery has afforded the revolutionary agitators a convincing argument that the time haj come to turn out the Manchua and to create If possible a liberal and more compassionate government. Central Government Weak. The extreme weakness of the central THE BOUDOIR OF A FAT WOMAN. What do we aee?

Adv. government, a weakness that has been more marked since 1900 than before in this generation, gave the Insurgent lead era confidence that they would be able to make headway against any force that the Imperialists might send against them. The Chinaman loves the secret society. Communal feeling, the necessity of the Individual being supported by his fellows, has been utilized by the revolutionaries to the utmost. The revolutionary secret societies extending throughout southern China probably Include a membership of several millions, the control of them cen tralizing in a small group of able men. The political poster and leaflet has been largely the means of preparing the mass of the people for change. The work of the secret societies has been directed to circulating single sheet pamphlets or pasting up little Inflammatory posters discrediting the army, narrating specific Instances of the ruthlessnesa of the Man elm tax gatherer, the neglect of the peo ple by those who assumed to be paternal benefactors, the weakness of the Peking government and a hundred other alle gations undermining the fear and the re spect of the people for their despotic rulers, Idncated Blen Ilchlnd I prising. A singular feature baa been the atti tude of the student class. Those educated abroad have been largely Instructed In Japan. They seek to follow In the foot steps of new Japan, which succeeded in ridding the country of foreign Interven tion and in becoming a great power within the term of an ordinary life. Thousands of theso bright men and en ergetic youths are scattered throughout the country preaching the doctrine that China is cursed by the weakness of Its own government yielding to the foreign ers, and that help, progress and ecurity can only come by upsetting the' existing order and organizing upon the principle of China for the Chinese. Ktrangely also these agitators. Including all those edu cated in Japan, are furiously anti-Japanese. The correspondent will not endeavor to predict the result of the present far reaching Insurrection, it seems likely to succeed, but the foreign observers have a profound distrust of the present ca pacity of the Chinese for republican In stitutions in the western sense, should the revolution succeed, the government probably will be a military dictatorship in which perhaps some able and Just In dividuality will be In command. The revolutionary cause appears to nave many leaders truly patriotic and with aims be. yond the passion for piling up private fortunes out of the "squsexe" common under the present Manchu government.

HAS KEEN INTEREST IN RESULT Declaration of Independence by the Viceroy of Manchuria Brlugts Immediate Financial Aid from m Japanese Dank. ML'KDEN, Manchuria, Dec. t. Japan watches the development of the revolu tion in southern China with absorbed at tention. The Japanese have In it an In terest both economic and political deeper than Americans would have in a revolu tion In Canada or in Mexico. The results of civil war In China must within the view of authoritative observers here have a profound Influence on every Asiatic power and upon Japan most of all. Japanese statesmanship In Its relic tions to the Asiatic mainland must have always In mind that there alone ran Japanese expansion tnke place without coming Into collision with a European or an American power. The Japanese press and the Japanese government have apparently accepted the fact that the white races bar the way to colonization In . Australia, North America and in Asia beyond the confines of China. One need not reach a conclusion now as to whether Japan would have given up the railway and southern Manchuria to China upon the expiration of the rail way lease. Certainly the disorder In southern China and the extreme weakness of the Imperial government at Peking cause responsible Japanese officials here to feel that southern Manchuria is more than ever Japaneae. Viceroy Financed by Japan. The viceroy of Manchuria has declared his Independence. Immediately following tlu't announcement the Yokohoma specie bank, a Japanese government Institution, has loaned the viceroy several million dollars. The foreign observers here con sider this loan as guaranteed by a politi cal mortgage upon southern Manchuria. Now the Japanese vested right In Man churia Is considered t run until such a time as the provincial government of Manchuria can repay this loan. Jt Is un derstood that the Independent Chinese government of Manchuria proceeds under Japanese advice. The sectional rivalry between northern and southern China Is such that the southern revolutionary chiefs appeared to care very little for what becomes of Mongolia and Manchuria, so that It Is porslble that In the event of a strong republic or dictatorship being founded by the Insurgent the new government would not come Into serious collision with either Japan or Russia over what either country might do In Manchuria or In northwestern China. Although Japanese statesmanship will probably avail Itself of every opportunity created by the changing governmental conditions In the Chlnest empire, yet there appears to bo no disposition to add to tho difficulties or to Intervene In ony manner beyond the borders of Manchuria. The aim of Japanese policy seems now as beforo the Outbreak of the revolution to be In the direction of encouraging an efficient government In the Chinese em pire and the development of the splendid resources lying unused. Japan needs time to consolidate Us Interests In Korea and In Manchuria. Itj geographical near ness to the Chinese markets and the skill In special knowledge of Japunesn traders make the Japanese confident that they will obtain a large share of the advant ages of high economic development of the Chinese people without further terri torial extension.

PAWS, Dec. 9.-Tlie fifth International Congress of Chambers of Commerce, which will bo held In Iloxton In Septem ber, 1B12, continues lo attract great atten tion throughout Kurope. In the various countries the delegations are alresdy making their preparations, and tho Chamber of Commerce In Paris has Insued a special article in Its bulletin pointing out the great Importance of the approaching congress. The work of the lloston ("number of Commerce for Its Initiative In stimulating Interest Is given especial praise. The tour of American business men In Kurope has brought the object of these great International . gutherlngs, It Is pointed o,ut, Into greater prominence. "The success which attended the Ameri can delegation," tho article says, "on its tour throughout the continent will be of immense advantage to future congresses and ougfit to uccompllfh much for Inter national romiucrciu! relation.

According to this, the fault lists with the powers If Turkey does not at present recognize tho Ited Cross flag in time of var. In June, lld'l, the Ottoman government, In a note to the Swl.ts federal authorlilea, communicated Its desire to come to an understanding on a reciprocal basis con ceming thu equal recognition of tha ltc Cross and the Ited Crescent of Turkey In time of war. Turkey promised to ic vpect the Ited ( rots If the powers le spected the Ited Crescent. On receiving the Tuiklsh note thu Swiss government communicated It lo tho various powers asking for a reply on the subject. Although eighteen months have passed no answers have been re ceived, so that Turkey Is free, accord ing to Hwlss Interpretation of Interna tional law to Ignore thp Ited Cross. Sixteen-Mile Tunnel. SwIfs engineers hnvo convinced the Russian government that It Is perfectly feasible to bore a tunnel through the Caucasian mountains, near Tt f I In, In order to Join the Black and Caspian seas. This will b u tremendous undertaking, as the tunnel will be about uixtren miles In length, and the Itusslan government had practically decided that It was be yond the limit of reality. However, the friwlss experts have re ported that the tunnel cuuld be built within seven years without much diffi culty, but at great expense. A Paris firm of bankers, It Is understood. Is sup porting tho enterprise, which will be put Into execution about the early party of 1M3 and with Hwlss engineers In con trol. I rimii Prince Has Queer Hunch.
