Massacres of Christians by heathen Chinese, and horrors of the Boxers; containing a complete history of the Boxers; the Tai-Ping insurrection and massacres of the foreign ministers; manners, customs and peculiarities of the Chinese .. . PRINCE KUNG, CHINA. THE MANDARIN AND HIS POWER. 389 mosa and an indemnity that repaid her, four times over, her outlayon account of the war. Russia, with a diplomacy comparable onlyto that of a highwayman, secured Manchuria, Port Arthur, and theLiau-tung peninsula, while England accepted the lease of Wei-hai-wei. Spheres of influence were then claimed by GreatBritain, France, Russia and Japan, and finally Germany seizedKiao Chau and claimed for her sphere the province of Shantung. DASTARDLY ACT OF PIRACY. Heretofore the claims and aggressions of the Powers had beenconfined to outlying districts, but this last seizure, a piece of piracythat stands absolutely unequaled, was upon the sacred soil of oneof the original eighteen provinces of the Empire. The effect uponthe Chinese people of the seizure of this part of Shantung, thehome of Chinese civilization, the birthplace of their greatest sagesand warriors, can be compared only to the effect that a seizure ofBunker Hill and Boston harbor would have upon us.
