WASHINGTON WAKING UP.

Washington, June 1s.-It seems
probable that after all, the United
States troops in the Philippines will
be called upon to furnish contingent
to assist in the rescue of the foreign
missionaries in China, and in the pro-
lection of the foreign embassies and
legations A great change has come
over the administration in this regard,
for there was a firm determination not
to go beyond the employment OF
marines and sailors. There was still
such purpose when the cabinet met
last and there is even now a DISPOSE
ton to limit the United States forces
employed to the navy, if sufficient
force can be secured from that branch
of the service.
The consul at Tien Tsin cables that

the announcement that the Boxers are

that several Russian gunboats are
lying off Tien Tsin, which is also the

CHINESE MINISTER ARGUES.
Must Have Education and Railroads to
Dispel Superstition.


Dispel Superstition
Washington, June IA lengthy
interview has been given out by WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, of
which the following is fair sample:
The Chinese cannot understand the
eagerness Of the Christians to make
prose1ytes. The missionaries come
and say, oh. you Chinesei You are
all wrong. Tear down your temples.
Destroy your idols Do as we do!' The
Chinese resent this attitude, and when
to their resentment is added supersti-
tious fear. trouble follows
Imagine, indeed, how you Ameri-
cans would feel if the Chinese were to
come to this country and not merely
try to inculcate the teachings of Con-
fucius and Buddah, but even decry the
Gospel of Christ. Don't you suppose
| they would be mobbed?
1.-TWO things, in my Judgment, are
necessary in China before the people
of my country will be on a proper foot
| ing toward the rest of the world.
! They are education and railroads. The
| dark clouds of ignorance must be dis
| PEELED by the bright light of know
/ ledge. Superstition must go. Educa-
ton alone is not enough, however, for
it is largely matter of theories. The
people must be brought into actual
contact with other nations 1 rejoice

and hope that many will be the
American investors in future who SEE
fit to put their money into Chinese
