 Sympathy Is Cheap
 The United States consul said that sym pathy, which costs nothing but words, is of a cheap grade, and that the British nation would not deplete it's eXchequer in any manner toward sustaining its honor so hong as other nations would take the initiative. Consul Nilsson did rot hesitate to say that there was treachery among the Chinese, and that the barbarian instinct was strong and active, no matter what profession of love for Christ they might express. Lead ing men of China were all the time fo- mentins strife, discord and discomfort, telling the vegetarians to keep up their spirits. He believes that no religionists on earth are more devoted to their creed than the Chinese; that any amount of labor be- slowed upon them With a view to their conversion is lost One hundred thousand missionaries sent to China would amount to nothing, and these missionaries might as well preach to the rock of Mt Lebanon or establish grist mills and expect to grind out converted Chinese.

Chinese Government Knew

To the consuPs mind it was clear that the Chinese officials knew that the whole sale massacre was to take place, and that they were cognizant of it weeks before it actually occurred. As has always been true, the mandarins were the instigators of the foul crimes, and after the massacre and while the Viceroy's troops were at the scene under orders, they footed what was left of the missionaries houses. It was then from these facts the clear intention of the Chinese to drive out all mission
