DOMESTIC NE WIS.
Funeral of Mr.. Starbuck

FROM NEW ENGLAND.

Missionary mee,inE,,hepert Of Chinese Mis-
BosToN, Nov 1.-THE Rev. Mr. Baldwin, a young
missionary lately returned from China, where he
has been laboring for twelve years, spoke In the
Bromneld Street Church last night, giving ac-
count of matters connected with the Methodist
mission work in that country. After describing
some OF the dficulties attending the missionary
work, he said there were no converts during the
first ten years, but there nearly 2000 native
Christians, and among them many ministers and
lay preachers; who sometimes endure untold perse-
cutions.
The Methodsts have three principal mission sta
tions, the largest being at FunchOw. The mission
aries in China look upon the Burlingame mission in
different light from tRat in which 1t is viewed by
most people in this country. The Mandsrirs wanted
the treaty OF 1860 to remain as and not to be
revised at the end OF ten years. according to agree
ment, and TO accomplish this end their chief head
offered the Burlingsme mission to foreign nations,
as no Mandarin Of her 1rstclass could accept IL he
was TO receive forty thousand dollars He
was instructed to make his new treaty
as nearly like the old one possible, but the people
in China were astonished at the first report OF his
speeches that came to them, to the effect that CHINA
wanted railroads. telegraphs, and all modern i'm
proyements, and offered to the Americans the inside
track in their construction; whereas such things
were far from being the real wishes OF the man.
darins of China, and the treaty was found on COM
this, that wien China was ready to build
railroads that Americans should be allowed
deretanding the Americans had from Burlin-
games speeches and representatives led them, and
the English and French afterwards, to give drec-
tions in behalf OF Chipa; that no gunboats on the
Chinese coast should exact rcpsration for injuries
on the spot, but that suCh injuries should be re-
ported to the Minister at Pekin, and thst he in turn
should receive instructions from the home govern
ment before action should be taken against China,
excepting only cases which involved the lives OF
foreign citizens.
China construed these instructions as indications of
backing down tue part Of the treaty making
powers, instead OF Indications OF magnanimity as
they were intended, and the people very naturally
consioer that injury they might do could not
be punished for nearly year. 1t was a most favor
able oppor unity to drive all foreigners out OF China
This is really his defense OF all OF the Chinese, as
those on the spot cannot fail to see, and this was
the cause OF the late terrible massacre there
