He looks to China to attempt to kill or
i2mlsh all missionaries, but he says that
he does not believe that this can ever be
done. Asked regarding his opinion as TO
what should be done, he said European
powers should at once put q strong armed
force at the principal ports of China. and
the nation should be taken by the throat
and made to behave. What is true of
China. he says, is true OF Turkey.
MANY DRIVEN FROM TREIR HOMES.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-The Rev. DR..
John Anderson, attached to the China in
land mission, in West China, is here on
his way back to his mission work. The
China Inland Society, having its quarters
III London, has about 800 workers in
China. 1t is unsectarian.
DR.. Anderson said to-day: "My cable
advices from Cheng Tu, the capital OF the
province of Sechuen, IN Western China,
are that all but one OF the hundred or
more missionaries OF the various societies
have been driven down the Gang-tse-
kiang.
The trouble must have come sud
denly. At Cheng Tu belonging to our
mission, were Mr.. and Mrs. Granger and
family. Mrs. COrnuck, Miss Hols and
Mrs. Riley and a ScOtchman named Vail,
the only missionary now remaining in
that region. At Yah Choo We had no
people, but the American Baptisis were
represented there.
al Choon King. on the Yang-tse-
hlang, IN the same province, there are
tour mlsslons-Ours, the Methodist, the
London missions. the French and Scotch
Bible Society. The place has about 3O0.-
O9O lnhabitants, and has British Vice
Consul. our people there are Mr.. and
Mrs. Nillet L DO not know what has
become OF those who have fled from
Cheng Tu. They are probable seeking
positions Of safety along the river"
MISSION SCHOOL ATTACKED.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-Advices received
here from Asia Minor state that the
American mission school at Tarsus has
been attacked by mob and that some of
the students were maltreaied. The mis-
sIonaries also were threatened with vio-
Ience. No details Of the affair have been
received.
PUBLISHED REPORTS CONFIRMED.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-Rev. A. B. Leon
ard, ID. D., Corresponding Secretary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church Mis-
sioDary Society, said this afternoon re-
garlling the recent Chinese outrages:
The cablegrams which | received dur
ing the last few days, fully confirm the
published reports of mob violence in
Americans there think our Government
is lax i'll demanding protection for our
citizens IL China from that nation.
Il notice that the English citizens in
Hongkong held an indignation meeting,
at which severe things were said con-
corning England's apparent unconcern
1t seems TO me England and America
must 10 something more than simply
demand indemnity TOR property de-
stroyed. That policy has been pursued
ever since missions were established
there. People have been killed, property
yet China has gotten Oft by paying in
IDENTITIES and without giving guarantee
for the security of life."
DELAY WILL BE DANGEROUS.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The Chairman of the
Indignation meeting held in Shanghai to
protest against outrages upon foreigners,
and to demand protection, has sent to the
Times the following statement, which
will be printed tomorrow:
I'VE strongly urge upon the British
people and the House of Commons that
Lord Salisbury's demands upon the Chi
nese Government are utterly Inadequate
The Chinese authorities have always
promised TO protect missionaries and to
punish the guilty, but they never per-
form their promises. We bolieve that
the outrages are generally inspired by
officials. 1t is imperative that the Com
sui at Foo Chow shall have an escort to
accompany him to Cheng Tu. The COM
mission must also be reformed. Delays
will be dangerous to the outposts and
missions"
