THE L OMAHA DALY BEE FIFTEENTH YEAR. DOTH HEATHEN RAVE The Fends and Hatreds of the Chinese Travsferred to America, The Far-Reaching Influence and Power of Beoret Societies. Celestinls Organizing to Enforce the Methods of Their Country in the Face of Law, THE YE HING OIRCULAR, AN INTERRSTING TALK WITH A MELICANIZED CHINER, Speoial Telogram to The Bk, Niw Yok, July 8.—The Herald's Phila- delphia special says: Evidence is accumulate ing that the Chiness are introducing thelr national feuds and oath bound socleties into the United States, The recent assaults com- mitted upon fellow-countrymen by the Chi- nose tond to confirm such belief. Within the past fow weeks printed cipher circulars have been distributed among the Chicese of Philadelphia that are unintelligible to the best American scholars of the langusge, but are supposed to bear peculiar significance to such parsons as understand their import. Thoy are printed, not written, on a piecs of rice paper four in- ches long by one inch in width, An Amer- oanized naturalized Chinaman named John ‘Wing, engaged in tho tea trade in a modest way on North Ninth street, sheds some in- teresting light on the subject, He pronounces the) slip a veritable proclamation of the Ye Hing, one of the most foared of all Chinese secret alliances, While he frankly admits he does not understand the characters. he de clares the slip to be genuine Chinese, the words coined letters beiog formed by combi- aations of recognized forms which are readily pronouncable - though antagonistic to the monysyllablo structure of the lan. guave. Ho believes the card to be the work of a Shanghai ecribe, basing the opinion on certain marked peculiartios of tho latter formation much affected in this city. Tt is the first specimen of Ye Hing he has seen since leaving Tien Tsin, one of the forts of Pekin, five years ago. Ho had seen the air full of such circulars just before the outbreak at Fou Chou. They were often circulatad by kites and small balloons which carried great quantities of tissue paper proclamations aloft and released a bushel or more of them over tha city when the fine silken cord, leading to the hands of conspirators, was pulled. As the snowy shower began to fall, the people in the streets stopped, picked up one of the zcraps, glanced at it and if they comprehen— led its import, spat upon it and stuck it to a post or the side of a houss, Then they abandoned all their vocations and hastened to a central point previously agreed upon or indicated in the cipher, The utmost pub- Fcity was given to these preclamations, and phonetic subdivisions of Chinese characters were carried to such an artful extent that a properly instructed Ye Hi newest inécription as well ) had previously seen. It was ascertained that before John Wing left China, that its mem- bersbip in the coast provinces and in Cochin ‘China exceeded ten million men, “In New York there has been for several ears a sacret society among Chinese hailing from the northern provinces,” continued the speaker. ‘I do not know that it is Ye Hiog; am inclined to believe it is not, The New Yorkers explain they are Chinese freemasons; judge, they may be free, but they are not ac- copted. The New York order numbers fully 1,600, however, out of a total Chinese popula- tion of perhaps 4,200, The membership is chiefly drawn from men of Shanghai or the rovince of Keang S00, in which that port is ated.” “Ts the power of thls or any other similar organization felt in the policy of China?’ was asked. *Yes, indeed; the mysterious and far- zeaching influence of this society has been enlisted several times by directors of two great trading corporations, the greatest com- ‘mercial organizations of the globe, known as Sam Yap and See Yap, These powerful com- panies have offices in San Francisco, where their real business is hardly susgested. snd nowhere, outside of Ohina, understood. Their commercial relations reach to the farthest con- fines of Kansup and Thibet. Carav. in their service started last fall frem the valley in Keun mountains that will not reach the market before next summer, They have cor- respondents in every part of Asia, and their ciroular notes are good even among the tribes ef Hindoo-Kush or of Little Bokhara, They deal in everything, from tea to oplum, or spices to gems, The East ompany was as @ trading Yankee on the Sioux reservation in' comparison, When, therefore, the mighty company, like the See Vap, itself a consolidation of four widely ex- tended corporations as its name indicates, employs Yo Hing to aid it in procuring favor at the imperial court or with smaller rulers among the provinces, it indicates at once the recognized ability of eecret order members from the vory fact that its agents were re- cruited from the educated classes and higher castes of China, I douht the presence of any en number of Ye Hings in the United tat It is with more frankness than dis- oretion perhaps that I declare that most of the Chinamen in Awmerica belong to the low- eat orders of society at home, It must ba ad- snitted, however, that ambition brings them here. They bope by a few years of abject servillty here to gather enough money to make their families respected and wealthy for years to come. The highest honors in the gift of the emperor arewithin tha reach of any man, Kducation is what ennobles in Chins, Thois learniog many poor wretched 1auudrymen toiling over the tub or ironing- ce toward the prime ministry and some o dreams will be realizad partially at "“Do secret societies interest themselves in politics as in some parts of Europe, or are they charitable in purpose as 1n this country,” was next asked, ‘Politics 18 & trade in China as much as here,” was the reply, ‘It must be admitted that for a young nation on which we, with our five thousand years of civilization, look rather cynically, the United States has made considerable progress in several branches of the corrupting sclence, In my native land T grieve to say, many obnoxious methods for influencing imperial tavor are employed, Schemers exist there who would outwit the average professional statesman in this coun- try, ~ An Ohio congressman would be be- headed before he reached the dignity of ® kooche or justice of the bpeace. Since the beginniug of the French difficulty with Tom}um, for instancs, couriers have been passing between one proyince and other of the kiogdom of Auam, establishing branches of Y g and initiating members.

The governor has ordered the military companies at Winfield, Wellington and to be ready to move a moments notice and has directed the sheriff of Finney county, and the mayor of Dodge City. to organize forces and send out runners to notify the settlers, Goneral Augur tele. graphs to the government that ho had no in. formation from Fort Reno of any outbreak there, but_had ordered three companies ot cavalry to Oarbour county, The veneral superintendent of the Topeka & Santa Fe railway has been directed by quar termaster Gillis, at Fort Leavenworth to send cars to Fort Iiley at once to transport troops south, A force was at work at the arsenal hera most of last night getting state arms ready for shipment. The report comes from Pratt Centre that a large number of settlers have arrived there, flaeing from the Indis who were reported making report the massacre of a fan field, at Spricg creek. prevails, The following dispatch was received this morning by the governor from H.

Several scouting parties have been out as far as thirty miles, and the farther out they go the farther off the Indians are. There is not a trace of on Indian, or any evidence of their having been nearer Kingman county than the terri- tory line, and no damage done there. There is a peneral ecare, but its origin cannot be located. A party named Jones was down to the ~territory line and heard that the Indians were on the move, and on his way back to Pratt county he met & meighbor named Smith, who told him the Indians were coming.

WasHINGToN, D, C., July 8,—The newspa- per member of the cabinet, Secretary Whit- ney, scema to have abandoned, or at least sus- pended, the Dolphin performances, It is the general impression thatjhe will, after all, get worsted in his contes ¢ with Roach, It par- takes so much of persecution that Whitney finds himaelf with little eupport outside of sensational bourbon newspapers. Men high in naval life here laugh at Whitney's naval board. It was composed of two naval officers without any knowledgo or experience as engi- neers or constructors, The third member is an engineer and constructor by reputation, The report may therefore be consid- ered his. 1t is worthy of note that the only expert on Mr. Whitney’s board 1s the civi engineer and constructor, Mr. Harmon W ter, who happens to be the consulting e oer of a line of steamboats from New York to Boston, of which Secretary Whitney’s brother is general manager, and Secretary Whitney's brother-in-law is the principal owner. That Winter's conclusions lgmllld not be at variance with Secretary Whitney’s desires and wishes is not to be expected. To any unprejudiced mind the whole action of Whitney's will ap- pear to be a crusade against Roach, and con sidering all the circumstances, few will be found so credulous as to believe that had Roach been » democrat the ship would have been accepted after the report of the advisory board. 1Itis the desire to make political cap- ital and throw discredit on Arthur’s adiminis- tration that has evidently prempted Whitney and led him into the present unenviable posi- tion, from which even the help of his man Friday will not extricate him with credit, In answer to comvlaints made by drovers that they ace prevented by settlers upon the Cherokee strip from driviog cattle over established trails through the Ivdian territory, the secretary of the interior has telegraphed that no one has the right to obstruct them.

The gov- ernor immediately instructed the suporinten- dent of the penitentiary to investigate the charges. The officiai report, which has just been made, shows_that sixteen deaths have occurred since June 1, out of a total forca of about 120 convicts; that seven are unablo to work; that the convicts are required to march nearly three miles to their work in shackles on their legs; that on account offthe bad quality of their food, scurvy has made its appearance; and that there has been exceesive cruelty in punishiog the convicts.

WasHINGION, D, U,, July 5.—The sgricul tural college convention met to-day and was called to order by the Hon, W. ¥, Switzler, of Missourl, Commissioner Coleman in his opening address of welcome briefly sketched the diecussions in congress which preceeded the magnificont grant of land for the endow- ment of agricullural colleges in several states and said it would be conceded that the gen eral public professed » degree of disappoint- ment in the outcome of these institutions. After alludipg in detail to some of the branchss which should te fundamentally tas n all agricultural ce leges, He refen length to_some of operations and plans which might be out on college farms by colls faculties, and which would be more particularly under the auspioes of the department of agriculture and for its special advantage. The pecullarities consequent upon changibg seed from oue soil and climate to others wera strongly sug- Restive that good would result from a well conducted serles of experiments made over widely diversified climates and conditions. The wider the system of interchange of seeds and the gieater the number of simultaneons tests, the rooner could be tabulated the re sults out of which to deduce principles for future guidamce and action, As an oxample of the special work suitable for localitien he would mention the investigations relatiog to the cotton plant, The department could collect seeds of many varieties and assign them to all the colleges in the cotton states with instructions which would secure similarity of treatment throngh- out their growth, ! Seml-weekly inspsctions might be made, when every detail of progress connected with rainfall, tomperature, time of first flowering, continuation of the blooming period, etc.. should ba carefully noted. This process should ba continued for a eeries of years, but when completed could mnot fail ‘in being of great benefit to all engaged In the culture of a crop, A determination would be reached as to the adaptability of cortain kinds to certain climates; better va rieties than those now cultivated would be indicated for many localities and the profits would be enhanced, The first fact to be developed by such experiment would be the eliciting of knowledge necessary to the intellizent crossing of varieties for tha purpose of combining in one the excellencies of many, He could see tho necessity for a great national experimental tarm also, which he would haye established near the capital, and it he might go further ha would establish on it & permanent nativnal exposition where porducts of this and other nations might be exhibited, He be.ieved that at no distant day this ideal would be realized, for agri- culture, the nursiog mother of all in- dustries, was entitled to such recognition, After the conclusion of the commuissioner’s opening address, the temporary officers were made permanent. Commissioner Colman this afternoon announced that he had received a letter from Mies Cleveland, of the executive mantion, which he did not think wasintended communication, He said Miss od manifested laudible interest in one of the industries in which the country was int‘lalfled.

The moat serious obatacle to the settlement of the trunk line difficulties has been the jealousies and antagonisms existing between the Penneylvania and the New York Central companies, and these have bsen ocoa- sioned by the invasion by eich upon the other’s territory. An officar of the Pennsyl- vania stated that these jealousies and antago- nisms could not be apyeased excopt by the i alof each from the other's territory, meant that the Vanderbilt interests andon the Pennsylvania_enterprises, and that in return for this the Penusylvania would exert its_influence to subordin: the ‘West Shore to Vianderbilt control, while, the Pennsylvania would not be so aggressive 1 its New England business as heretotore. ——————— Teller on the Senate’s Course.
