ADDRESS by MINISTER WI.
Missionaries in China Not Altogether
to Blame for the Uprising.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2O.-Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister addressed the
Academy of Political and Social Science
here tonight. Mr.. WI, in the course of
his remarks, said the cause of the anti
foreign feeling in China is commonly sup
posed to be dre entirely to the mission
aries. This charge. he said, is unfair. for
the missionaries, while in cases they have
been indiscreet, have done much good In
China. The general attitude of foreigners.
he said, has had much to do with their
unpopularity. They frequently treat the
customs, traditions and institutions of the
country with contempt. and in this way
excite I'll feeling. While some foreigners
treat the Chinese with every consideration.
unfortunately the mischief done by others
counterbalances the favorable impression
The remedies, Mr.. WI said, are that for
eigners show more consideration ard polite
ness, and the foreign press in China should
assume a more conciliatory tone. II would.
he said. be good thing to send only medi-
cal missionaries TO China. Let US, said
Mr.. WI, in conclusion, profit by our last
experience and avoid similar mistakes i'm
the future.

the lights suddenly went out and every

No one was seriously injured and the girls
took as much interest in the clash as the
boys. Aside from some damage to property
