BLAMING THE MISSIONARIES.
Paris, Get. 4-The international con-
gress of peace resolved that the action
of the missionaries in China was often
intolerant; that their religious propa-
ganda should not be backed up by diplo-
matte or military forces: that they
should 60 into China at their own risk
and peril; that Europe should abandon
any religious protectorate of China; that
a forcible annexation of territory, es-
pecially that held sacred by the Chinese,
should cease; that the powers should at
tar mt IN fol lich no hla

the honest commerce of the world on

gives any guarantee of the country's fu-
ture, peace and stability. ~

come to an agreement to instruct their
diplomatic representatives in China to
examine and give their opinion on the
following points:
"1-Whether the list of persons to be
punished is sufficient and correct?
"2-Whether the punishments pro-
posed meet the case?
"3-In what way the powers can con-
troll the carrying out of the penalties
imposed?
"The information received up to the
present concerning the reception Of this
proposal by the powers justifes the be-
lief that general understanding in this
matter may be looked for.
