the Trying Scenes Iu North China.
Chinese day at the meeting of the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions. the time being
devoted almost wholly to reports and
addresses on the work there.
At the morning session Rev. Judson
read a paper on the situation in China.
He was followed by number of mis-
sionaries who passed through the re-
cent prosecutions in the northern por-
tion of that country. 1t was notable
that their remarks were hopeful and
filled with the earnest desire to go
back and reopen the work that had
been interrupted. Rev. Dr. Stimson,
recording secretary of the American
board and pastor of Broadway taber-
nacle, New York, struck the keynote
of the meeting when he declared that
they We're not here for vengeance nor
to say anything in regard to the policy
of the government in China. The only
question that concerned them was as
to who should take the places of the
martyred missionaries and continue
the work there.
An open parliament on missions, q
reception given to the delegates by the
Congregational club of st. Louis at the
First Congregational church and the
first annual address of President
Capen We're the other features of the
days proceedings. Today the board
concludes it's work and elects officers.
In some respects the final session will
be the most important of all.

-B0ERS STILL HAVE HOPE
President Kruger Will Endeavor to Secure
Intervention of European Powers.
WIN Keep ON Fighting.


Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct 12.-P.
Louter Vessels, special commissioner
of the South African republics to the
United States, received letter from
Secretary de Bruyn of the Boer en-
voys, now in Holland, containing the
first definite information of the plans
of President Kruger. which has been
made public. The letter states that
President Kruger will leave Delagoa
bay on the Netherlands warship Geld
erland early in October, and thus he
has probably already embarked He
will be taken to Holland, where the
ENJOYS are awaiting him. In regard
to the intimation in British newspa-
pers that English warships may be
sent in pursuit, Mr.. Vessels said the
ENJOYS We're in a position to state Off
cially that any such action by England
would be accepted by the Netherlands
as a direct declaration of war and the
little Dutch nation would act accord
ingly. President Kruger will endeavor
to secure intervention By one or all of
the European powers, to the end that
the individuality of the republics shall
not be annihilated The envoys have
preceded their president to several of
the continental countries and have
found among the people proBoer
sentiment which they hope will be
potent enough to force action by the
respective governments.
and" added Mr.. Vessels, "this let
ter says they hope for more assistance
from the United States than from any
Of them.''
Mr.. Vessels, in his interview also
stated that the reports of large num-
bers of Beers immigrating to Amer
lea were unfounded.
'"The Beers will never leave South
Africa" he said '"rheir cause is not
lost, and they will keep fighting till
they win. General Dewet's armies
are well organized and are operating
not only in the Transvaal. but in the
Free State. not many miles from
Bloemfontein, and are even planning
to invade Cape Colony. The reports
that Lord Roberts send amount to
nothing. You need not be surprised
if there is rebellion of the whole of
South Africa before the year is out. -

.ITALY'S RESPONSE
IS FAVORABLE
The open-Door Policy in China Now
Appears to Be Assured-Last
to Be Heard From.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Italy has re-
turnsd a favorable response to the recent
note OF the State Department in respect
TO an open door i'll China.
Italy was the last OF the great Powers
remaining TO be heard from.
i II is learned that, although Italy was
the last OF the Powers addressed TO re-
turn an answer to Secretary Hays over
lures. looking 10 the maintenance of the
open door in China. that government real
~ was more prompt than any other in
the negotiations. This is explained by the
fact that the Italian goFernment was adj
dressed on the subject some time after
the other contiI.e entail nations had it under
consideration This was through no dis
courtesy or lack of consideration but
simply because our Ambassador, Mr..
Draper, was away from his post OF leave
of absence in the United States when the
Identical note of instructions was sent
out, and it was regarded as best TO make
no departure in the rule which had beer
adopted in the case OF the other govern
ments. in addressing them through the
United States representative at the for
eign capitals
WITH PRoMPTNEss
Immediately upon Mr.. Drapsr.s return
to Rome, at a not distant date in the past
he laid the matter before the Italian Cow
ernment, which. therefore. had acted with
more pron,Dtness than most of the other
powers.
The agreements have not yet hesn re-
dueed 70 their final form, bit rho State
Department will now enter upon the task
OF putting them into the shape of prec.s.
and as in each case the agreement to the
principles involved in our invitation is re-
turned in uneHuivocal terms. According To
department officials. 1t is not anticipated
thai any difficulty will be experienced IN
accomplishing this work satisfactorily.
Pending that outcome, tine State Depart
ment does not intend TO make any state
ment for the public as to the exact terms
of the agreements. though 1t IS admitted
that the ground has been covered with
unusual accuracy IN the press reports up
to this point.
