It is reported from Peking that members of secret societies from the Southern and Central provinces been lately organising branch societies in the neigh-
Mongolian frontier. The names of the secret societies are Tesiyuan Hui (from South-western Chihli), Hungehun Hui (Honan province), and Santien Hui (from Kuangtung province). It is further stated that the emissaries of these societies have been very successful, each society having obtained from 900 to 1200 members, within the past three months. The authorities, however, appear to be aware of these things, and are preparing for eventualities.
