MUST NOT GO TOO FAR.
ENGLAND WILL NOT PROTECT MIS-
SIONARIES EYERTWHERE.
However, the Mob Must Be Punished-Ger-
many Does Not Stand by the Other
Powers in Their Demands.

London, August 10-Though Lord Salisbury
is determined to avenge the recent massa-
ere of foreigners at Kucheng and the other
outrages committed by the Chinese mob at
that place, he refuses to entertain the Re-
claims of the missionary societies that their
agents be protected wherever they may go,
and in this action the premier IS backed
up by the liberals.
The Daily News, in an article on the SUBJ
iect says the missionaries can be, if nee
essary, and ought to be, prevented from
going beyond the limits of British au-
thority.
The missionary societies. seeing that tho
sympathy of the public is confined to the
victims of the outrages personally, have
issued long statement, signed by the ed
itorial secretary of the church missionary
society, saying that the last thing they
desire is that the gospel shall be carried
into China at the point of the bayonet, but
nevertheless, the British government can
not in China pass lightly over the murder
of British subjects who have a right 10
be there. The statement is adversely COM
mented upon by the lay press. Lord Sails
bury has found another difficulty in the
way of general action, which is the same as
was felt in 1881, when similar attacks were
made upon the Chinese missions. Ihe
German government at that time failed 10
back up the other powers with any hearth
ness, and in consequence of this fact the
Tsung-Li-Y amen successfully played The
powers against each other.
In the present instance the same spirit is
bieng displayed by Germany. The North
German Gazette yesterday printed an arb
Gle concluding thus:
'.China's whole intellectual tendency is
against reforms. but this fact Will not keep
Europeans from knocking harder and
! harder at the doors OF the Chinese en-
pire, which are good closed but it
is hardly 10 be expected that China will
meet Us half way"
