ing instances OF suffering. but I give this
because II is the last and because from IL
you can gather very truly the helpless
condition Of the Chinese government.
The letter reads as follows. save that I
take the liberty OF changing some Chi
nese terms and spelling TO render pro-
nunciation OF names easier II possible.
The date is Pang chuang December 20.
1899. and the address is Hon. f. H. Con-
ger. United States Minister. Picking:
Dear Sir: think I mentioned to you
In my letter of a week ago that there
were alarms about an attack medltated
on the village of Hochiatun In Sha-
chin by band OF Boxer rlfffans from
Thing Ping. The evidence that mischief
was intended was so strong that we
thought IL prudent to address a letter to
each Of the district magistrates, letting
them know OF the matter. These letters
Ching Ping official was enjoying his
birthday. and did not deign to reply or
send even q card OF acknowledgment
The Shachin official wrote the next day
TO say that he had arrangements by
which he could stop any threatened diff
nculty. He is the same man who wrote
70 us about a month ago, not to listen to
the talk of silly children and old women
The same style Of reply made to ccm-
plants by the late governor Crhis gov
eruor has Just been recalled TO Peking
for inefhciency, In large part through the
efforts OF Mr.. Corger.-Note by Hould-
fng) He also told US to rest our hearts
and all would be we'll.

more moved by human suffering even among
their own people than the animals are. No
