CHINESE VICE CONSUL TALKS.
No Fear OF War Between His COun-
fry md The Powers


NEW YORK. June 29.-The Chinese
Vice Consul. last night spoke at length
about the situation in his country.
Il have given no interview to the re-
pcrfers. he said, ''about what would hap
pen 10 my cOuntrymen here IL the United
States should be at war with China Meth
er am I responsible for what our inter

true. as he is quoted in an evening paper
as saying. that II these Two nations should
fight each ether. the citizens OF each coun-
try in the territory OF the other would De
ordered to go. Wasn't that the wa
when this country and Spain fought2 But
I do not believe there is going TO be war.
No nation in these days can ever think Of
fighting half a dozen others. That would
be impossible. It would be foolish So 1
have not the slightest feeling of anxiety
about the Cinnamon in the United States
Even il there is further trouble, or sup
pose the present reported disturbances
have happened, and the United Stat-S
takes strong action. 1 am quite confident
that my people in this country will not
be troubled. This country viii treat them
with all the more hospitable feelings. be-
cause OF their home land being in diff
culties.
The Boxers have no connection with
the Chinese Government The statements
that the Empress sympath.zes with them
in their deeds OF violence l deny. Suppose
they should get control CT the nation.
where would the present ruler be?
Wouldn't they be worse of than If the
foreign nations had stepped in 20 help the
authorities stop these riots. The Boxers
are secret society men who have broken
out in force many times before though
never 50 dangerously as now. The rulers.
L believe, can put them Gown in time. and
will. But China is a big nation. and
things go much more slowly there than
they do here
There is naturally an anti-foreign sen
tirnent in China. but ali that will gradu-
ally change with the introduction of rail-
road systems As IL is. each community
Is by itself. has its own customs and
knows nothing Of nything beyond. But
when the dag Of change comes China Will
be a great nation.
We do not credit any Of these reports
unless they are confirmed by Minister Con-
ger. You remember a few days ago that
the dispatches were saying that the En-
press Dowager had gone TO the Russian
Legation for refuge. Wei, that is prob
ably the inaccurate way these latest re-
ports are coming in
Il cannot say anything about the future
OF China, but 1 feel that the Cinnamon
here are going 70 be kindly treated. and
that there cannot be any wer between my
Government and the foreign nations"

may become generally spoken in Eastern
Asia. aud that the Chinese fmay learn
it, but there is no likelihood that the
American will, for in many respects it is
quite as difficult as Chinese. The chances
are Overwhelmingly in favor. of the adop-
ton OF English as the. medium Of COM
merc.Sl transaction in the Orient. II
there were no other reason for this, one
would exist in the fact, that the English
speaking traveller or trader simply will
not learn any language but his own if he
can get rid of the task. He much prefers
that the native should do that sort Of
work. and for some reason or other the
rative usually does. English has also the
advantage of being a language which can
be acquired with comparative ease by the
unschOolei student, though IL is difficult
to learn to speak it correctly. 1t does not
take nearly as long for a Chinese Iaborer.
or an Italian peasant, or a Swedish sailor.
to learn enough English words to make
himself understood as it would for an
American to attain the same facility in
Chinese.
