EMPRESS is JUSTIFIED
In Any Measure of Expulsion
and the Powers Would
Better Keep Their
Hands Off.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Prof. Frederick
Starr, head of the department of an
tnropology. University of Chicago
declared before his class yesterday
that the dowager empress of China
was justified in her attitude toward
the Christian missionaries, and in tax
ing any steps necessary to drive them
out of the country.
He predicted that any attempt of the
powers to partition China would re-
suit in unifying that nation and lead
to the supremacy of China as world
power.
"The Introduction of Christianity
into China is a measure of hostility
against the existing government Of
she EMPIRE" said Prof. Starr
THE empress knows this and Is
justified entirely in expelling missio-
narles as measure of self preservation.
Her party eventually will succeed,
because any scheme to deter her by
q coalition of powers such as Is now
proposed would be absolutely i'm
possible.
"If the power pssses out of China's
hands It will pass into Russis;s, be-
cause China and r lssia are the only
two nations to be reckoned with in the
orient in the FUTURE
TEN TSIN, June 12.-Foreign troops
and Boxers have come in contact and q
salutary lesson has been tape ht the
Chinese rebels. British marines had
the honor of inficting a blow on the
Boxers. The fight occurred on Monday,
near Lang Fang, when two Thousand
Chinese sailed forth from that town
and attempted to cut eff a small party
of British marines. Maxims did the
business, and fif:y Chinese were killed.
