BOARDS HERE THAT THE HOSTILE FEELING

the recent attack on missionaries at Ku-Cheng
was the forerunner of further hostiiies In
qu.res yesterday among the representatives in this
ci.y OF the Foreign Mission Boards tended to show
that the anti-foreign excitement spreading
and that it would not be strange If more lives were
sacrificed before the fanatical element had been
subdued. AT present the scene of these outrages Is
almost entirely confined to the province of Fuh
Kien. Foo-Chow. where the latest riot occurred
being not more than one hundred miles from Ku-
Cheng the actual of the recent Dreadful
murders II is in the interior. where gunboats can
afford no protection and where there scores of
tations and hundreds OF missionaries and their
families, that the greatest danger is to be appre
hended. Immediate and vigorous action. 1t is
maintained is necessary the part of both the
American and English Governments TO check the
outbreaks in the bud. Many OF the missionary
workers who visited by a Tribune reporter
yesterday emphatically asserted that the hostile
feeling the part of the Chinese was not d.
rected exclusively against missionaries, but against
foreigners generally. 1t declared that II fner
chants or other representatives of outside nations
were to settle in the interior, do the mission
aries they would be subjected to the same uni
versal hatred and would be exposed to the same
dangers the missionaries.
