town w a astir today over the new of

Moy, the local mandarin, says:
"It mean the beginning of the end.
We Chinamen wish to see China win,
but more than that, we wish our own
emperor back in place of the usurper
who now rule over us. For year the
Gee Hing have been growing in power,
and today they have general and
officer in command of the army. The
iole object of the Gee Hing ociety is to
overthrow the present emperor and re
etore tlie old dynasty. It I a secret
society with millions of member in
China, and at least H00 in Chicago. The
emjieror ha offered tLOOO reward for
the head of every Gee Hing, but there is
not enough money in the treasury to pay
for the heads. The war with Japan w ill
not last much longer, for the Gee Hings
will be strong enough to come out
openly and dethrone the emperor."
Mandarin Moy thinks this winter will
see a new emperor and an elaborate cor
onation in China, w hich many China
men now in America will attend if they
