AIDING OUR MISSIONARIES
German Government Prefers to Send
Its Own Troops Into the In
terror Of China.

NEW YORK, March D-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
II developed today that Germany stands
ready with troops to protect American mis-
sionaries In Shantung province.
IL was further ascertained that the Ber-
lin government, to the qualification of the
peditionnry force from Kiaochou to Ichoufu

have been punished. and taught the anti

The state department has been informed
that the German government ~contemplates
another expeditionary force to the Interior
Of ShantunR. where most OF the American
stands the willingness OF the German au-
thorities to TAX such action. In fact. I
learned In n high diplomatic quarter that
the German governor at Kiaochou has
standing instructions TO take such meas
ures for the protection not only OF Ger
man missionaries and others in Shantung
province as may seem necessary. but OF
American missionaries as well.
Because OF the peculiar relation in which
Germany stands to the province OF Shan

chou and OF court property rights In the
promontory, she IL particularly DESTROYS

for this reason that her troops are ready

Executive Council in Session nj
Washington.

WASHINGTON, March M.-The execu-
tive council of the American Federation
OF Labor, in session here today. heard a
report of Mr.. Douglas Wilson, vice pres
tdent of the Machinists' international AS
ISOLATION, regarding the dispute between
the machinists n their employers of
Chicago, Columbus. O., and other places.
Assurances of assistance within the
power OF the federation We're given.
The dispute between the Maehintsts' In
ternational Association and the Internal
tional typographical Union was taken up,
and, with a view OF adjusting the matter,
a committee was appointed to meet like
committees of other organizations in the
near future,
An appropriation of 500 was made, in
addition to the $500 already appropriated,
for the legal defense of the miners i'm
p~risoned in the bull PEN OF Idaho. II was
further decided that IN investigation be
conducted, supplementary to the investi-
alton now being conducted by the mill
tary committee OF the house of representa-
tives. in regard to the violation OF the
rights of citizens of Idaho.
During the day the executive council
took n recess and visited the chairman OF
the committee on labor in the house Of

GERMANS WILL NOT ALLOW 1T.


NEW YORK, March 2o.-Much concern
Is beiSg shown by the German government
In the threat made by Montagu White that
the Beers win destroy johannesburg to
prevent It being made the base Of the
British operations against Pretoria. The
Berlin authorities will strongly oppose
such action because OF the damage which
will be done TO the property owned by
Germans. In accordance with the instruc-
tons of his government Baron Won Holie-
ben, German ambassador has zone so fer
az 10 sound the United States touching
It's views OF Mr.. Whites threat. 1t is not
thought that the United States will take
any action or Join In any representations
to the Boer government on the subject.
II Germany wishes to prevent the city
from being RACED TO the ground 1t is said
she should herself make representations to
the belliReFents. The interests of the Unit
ed States in johannesburg are compare
tivly small, while Germany is largely in
terested in the mines there.
In view OF Germany's inquiries On the
subject, II Is thought not unlikely that she
will make an effort herself, II she is un-
able to induce other powers 70 join with
her, to have the ~beligerents agree to
protect foreign property in johannesburg
at least.

THE SHANTUNG DIFFICULTY
Not Known whether Missionaries
should Have Protection of China
or GermanY. HeiuU Err InIand.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The secretary
OF the navy, has received a cablegram
from Admiral Watson stating that the
Eunboat Wheeling had proceeded to Eaku,
where she Will be relieved by the Concord
about May 10. and will go, as usual in
the summer. to Unalaska. on the Alaskan
coast.
The state department is in a q~uandary
10 devise means to render effective pro-
lection to the American missionaries at
S~hantung. The difficulty lies in the fact
that the missionaries have In most cases
gone as far as 900 miles inland, and are
thus beyond reach of any aid that can
be extended from a warship. Mr.. Con-
gers advices show that the situation is
further complicated by the fact that the
location OF the present troubles Is so far
inland as to make II difficult to determine
whether or not the Boxers are operating
in shantung or across the border In Pc
chill province. If the threatened mission
aries are in western Shantung, then a fur
ther question arises as TO who is charge
able with their protection-Chlna or Ger
many. The exact extent of the German
sphere OF influence is not definitely known
here. 1t Is 200 miles from Kiaochou. the
German seaport, to the western border of
Shantung. but inasmuch as the Germans
nave claimed exclusive control of railroad
franchises and like concessions throughout
the whole province. II IS presumed they
well. At any rate, the Chinese govern
ment has been deferred from attempting
TO exercise military authority In that Sec
ton by the attitude Of the German au-
thorities. and that is the reason for the
Inability of The Peking government TO meet
Mr.. Conger's demand for punitive meas
ures against the Boxers" The German
minister at Picking has Informed Mr.. Con-
ger that his government is willing 10 ex-
tend to the American missionaries within
the German sphere OF influence the same
measure OF protection as is accorded TO
German missionaries. This, however is
not very reassuring in view of the fact
that the German military forces in shan
tung have not. so far as is known. been
augmented to n point where they are
equal TO police the whole province. The
state department has not been advised that
these German forces have extended their
operations into western Shantung. where
the imperiled missionaries are located. nor
has there been any assurance that any
expedition Is organized IN that direction.

lions.
Speeches I'm Opposition.
Little. a member of the committee that
reported the bill, opened the debate in OPP
position TO II. He said his opposition
turned upon its hostility to the general
policy pursued by the governmeht here-
semination of literature. He conceded
there were abuses under the present sys-
TEN. but there would be abuse ne sald,
under any system. He said the deficit in
the postal revenues would be wiped out
II the proper remedy was applied-the re-
duction of appropriations for aiIway
transporting the mails. He affirmed that,
while s~econd-class mail matter was trans
mitted at a loss, il was the indirect cause
or great revenue to the postal revenues.
Railroads should Reduce Rates.
Bell opposed the bill. S~econd-class mail
matter was a privilege. he maintained
enjoyed by the masses. Congress. with
its eyes opened, agreed that matter trans
mitted at second-class rates would be so
transmitted at a loss. There was . proht
Of 300 per cent. on irst-class matter and
29 per cent. on fourth-class matter. He
also argued that, IL the railroads would
make proper reduction for carrying the
mails. there would be a surplus instead Of
a deficit in the postal revenues. On an
average, he said, the government paid
seven times more than express companies
for similar service. Stokes also opposed
the bill. mainly on the ground that 1t
would iniure the country newspapers.
Mcpherson and others denied that the
bill could affect newspapers in any but a
single particular, namely, the reduction
of the number of sample copies at second
class rates. to 500. Henry and Brown also
opposed the bill. II. c. Smith. of Michi-
gan, supported II.
At Sis p. m. the house adjourned.
