WORK UNDER DECREE.
Message From Chinese Throne on
Missionaries.


WASHINGTON.-M Conger at
pekin transmits to the State Depart
ment the Interpretation Of an import
ant decree issued by the Government,
which emphasizes the treaty provisions
authorizing the PRONUNCIATION OF the
Christian religion and fOrcibly reiter-
ates instructions to the authorities in
the various provinces to see to it that
proper protection Is accorded to mis-
sionaries, and enjoins on local officers
to receive missionaries when they call
upon them.
Such an order, coming from the
throne, has never before been promul-
gated. 1t will serve good purpose,
for missionaries will now be able to
make representations direct to the Of
ficials concerning their work or their
difficulties and time, trouble and ex-
pense will thereby be saved. The de-
cree says, In closing:
As to the cases still remaining un-
settled, let such action be taken as Is
necessary to bring them to a settle
ment without loss OF time and as in
future will prevent missionary troubles
again occurring. Should there be any
lack of energy shown in taking pre-
cautionary measures to prevent trouble
the delinquent officials will be severely
punished, In accordance with the new
rules framed and submitted to us by
the Yamen OF Foreign Affairs. The
Tartar Generals, Viceroys and Cover
nors also will not be allowed in such
cases to shift the responsibility i'm
posed on them.
