Uncle Sam Notifies China That Americ ans
Must Be Protected from BOXERS"

Washington, May 25.-The United
States government has taken hand
in the suppression of the Boxers"
the Chinese secret society which is en-
gagged in the massacre of native Chris
tians in China and to which is attrib-
uted numberless outrages upon the
foreign missionaries. United States
Minister Conger has been instructed
by the state department to inform the
Chinese government that the govern
ment of the United States expects it
to promptly and thoroughly stamp out
this society, and TO provide proper
guarantees for the maintenance of
peace and order and the protection of
life and property of Americans in
China, all now threatened by the
operations of the Boxers"
There is no Indication in the instruc-
TORS as to the course that will be pur-
sued by the United States in case the
Chinese government ignores or fails
to observe the warming conveyed in this
communication. Mr.. Conger is acting
on parallel lines with the representa-
tivos Of every European power at the
Chinese court. He has not joined in
any concert Of action for to do so
would be to violate the unbroken prac-
tice of our government.
Washington, May 25.-Through its
charge here, Mr.. Keizere Nabeshim,
the Japanese government has Joined
the Chinese government in a strong
protest against the compulsory innocu-
Iation of Japanese and Chinese
in San Francisco with anti-plague
serum. The Japanese protest is much
more energetic and forcible in terms
than that lodged by the Chinese gov
eminent and conveys a very plain in
timation that. while there could be no
objection to a general innoculatlon II
such was regarded as necessary to pre-
vent the extension of the plague, IL
cannot be contemplated that any dis
elimination should be practiced against
the Japanese and Chinese; the rule
must be general and include Caucus
ians as well as yellow men.
Washington, May 25.-Chairman Hull
Of the House committee on military
affairs, today, stated definitely that
owing to the latencss of the session 1t

The Chinese rejoice in wonderful
talent for inaccuracy in every detail
For instance, a pound or a pint varies
as it suits the merchants fancy. In
some part you get half or quarter
as much as you do in others for the
same price and measure.
Then. again, their way Of calculating
distance does not at all tally with Eu-
cid. For instance, you are told from
A TO B is four miles, but from B to A
is eight miles. If you ask how this is
possible, you are told it depends from
which end you start; If you start from
A, 1t is down hill, so much easier to
walk; whereas. starting from B, you
have to walk up hill, which Is much
more exerting and fatiguing-in fact,
it is the same as walking a longer dis
lance on even ground.
