arrives.
The developments of the day, apart
from those at Tien Tsin, greatly en-
couraged the officials here in their hope
that the worst is past in China, and
that the difficulty can be settled without
any very serious change of the political
status Of the country at least in it's re-
lations with the outer world.
The state department is much gratlfed
with the attitude of the powers. So far
as it is informed, there IS no difference
Of opinion or intention among the diff
ferent powers respecting the Chinese sit
uation. Their object Is simply to restore
peace, protect life and property, and
leave all further questions for future
settlement So far as can be gathered
there is not a dissenient voice among
the powers in answer to the proposition
made by the United States to limit the
operations of the foreign armies and
navies in China to that simple pro-
gramme. If there is a contrary purpose
entertained anywhere, the particular
power has not signifed that fact.
FRENCH ADVICES.

BOXERS DID GREAT DAMAGE.
LONDON, June 2-The Shanghai cor

struction was caused by the Boxers in thA
native quarters Of Tien-Tsin, on June Is,
Dut the presence of foreign troops in the

native press asserts that there are bitter

ORIGIN OF BOXER MOVEMENT.
NEW YORK, June H.-The American
BlDIe society has received a letter from
Rev John Hykes, D. D., Shanghai, May
II, who had just returned from a trip
to Pekin. DR.. Hykes says:
II had long conversation with Dr. w.
s. Ament, of the American board. a ma
tive of Owosso, Mich, and a graduate
of Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, who
recently made a journey of eighty miles
into the territory occupied by the Boxers
At one Of their strongholds they threat
ened to bind DR.. Ament and his compan-
ion and to murder a Chinese they had
with them, but they happily escaped
without suffering any violence.
The movement was first organized
with the object of driving the Germans
out of Shang Tung, and it was encourag-
ed by the central government and the
governor of Shang Tung, in the hope
that 1t would succeed in accomplishing
this patriotic purpose. They practiced
incantatiOns and they were armed with
the rude implements which they could
obtain in country places. After commit
ting many acts of lawlessness, including
the murder of Rev. Mr.. Brooks, they
gradually spread north, and are now
to be found in large part of the prov
ince of Chi Ii. The long continued
drought in the north has been favorable

for more than nine months, and the
country is as dry and parched as a
desert. The farmers have had nothing
to do for many months and they natural

MINISTER wv INDIGNANT.
Says His Government Is Not to
Blame for Boxers Acts.


WASHINGTON, June A.-Minister Wa
was seen today, after his visit to tho
state department. He said that Secretary
Hay had expressed his gratihcation n
the news the minister had brought from
Niceroy Liu, of the three great Yang-Tse-
Kiang provinces, kiang Su, I<iang 81
and Anhui. to the effect that he, in con-
junction with his colleague, Viceroy Chan,
of the Provinces of Human and Hupeh,
were fully competent to maintain order
and insure protection TO all foreigners
within their jurisdiction and asking that
no foreign forces be landed within these
provinces. Minister Wu said he would
reply to Viceroy Liu and repeat Secre-
tary Hays assurances that no foreign
troops, or, more specifically. no United
States forces, would invade his territory
so long as peace and order are preserved
therein The appearance Of aliens IN these
provinces, said Minister Wa, far from
having a subdulng effect on any disorder
that might be brewing under cover, would
only bring the flame If the spark were
there.
The minister was very much incensed
at suggestion published this morning
that he be held as hostage by this gov
ernment for the safety Of Minister Con
ger and the legation at Pekin. He char
acterized the writer as a narrow minded
pedant, and a person wholly incompetent
to speak upon international affairs. "If
state of war existed in China, the min
lister said, "I should ask for my pass
ports, or they would be handed me. That
with emphasis, is the only course that
would be followed if such were the case"
The minister reiterated his former state
ments scouting the very suggestion Of a
state of war between China and the Unit
ed States.

responsible" he queried, for the Italian
lynchings at Tallulah? No. Neither Is
the Chinese government responsible for

which movements it has no control. Does
rot the action Of the empress dowager IL
degrading the cOmmandant Of the Taku
forts for firing on the foreign feet prove
the imperial government has no part in
it?"
The minister was surprised and Sorry
to hear of the report that Ii Hung Chang
had reconsidered his intention and would
not go to Pel1in. He said he had great
faith in Chang's ability to relieve the sit
uation there. He also expressed his be
lief that Seymour's column had arrived at
Pekin, and that the legations there are
safe. aes

moment to the nation than any that had
taken place since the close of the civil
war saw us once more a reunited coun-
