HU REPLIES TO 4 CRITIC.
His Comparison of ristiamlty and
 and ConfuciaMism.

Philadelphia, Jan. 27.--Wu Ting Fang, China's minister plenipotentiary to the
 United States replied to his critics to- day in the course of lecture on Con fucius and Mencius" delivered before the Society of Ethical Culture at Horti- cultural hall. Minister Wu quoted an Wayland Hoyt, of this city, on Sunday, December 16, in which the latter spoke of Iii Hung Chang's high tribute to the work of the Christian missionaries in China and asked what reply the Chi nese minister could make.
 'Dr. Hoyt has done me, though doubtless unwittingly, gross injds- tice," continued Wu Ting Fang. Since he wants reply I have nc hesitation in giving him one. l endorse every word that Earl Ii has said on the subject of foreign missionaries as cited by the doc tor To prove that I am sincere in what I say beg to refer the doctor to the address delivered in December last before the American Academy of Po- litical and Social Science in Philadel- phia.
 T am inclined to think that the req son why some clergymen--I am glad to say that there are not many-took of fense at what I said in my address on Confucianism is that l took the liberty of instituting a comparison between Confucianism and Christianity, which they supposed was done to the dispar- agement of the latter There was cer- tainly no intention on my part to make an attack upon Christianity. It seems that some cergymen should re- sent any attempt to compare Christian ity with other systems of belief, while they themselves do not scruple to at tack other religions. If Confucianism were as bad as it's detractors try to make it out to be it Is strange that after twenty-four centuries it should be able to count millions and millions of people as it's adherents. l believe that all re- ligions teach men to be good"

BROKE THROUGH THE ICE
SIXTY K47ERS ON 4 POND IN .. BROOKLYN.
Many Women and Children inci"ded- Two Boys Drowned in the Wild Strus- gle to Escape-lNen and Women Fought to Save Themselves and the Children Suffered

New York, Jan. 27-Sixty skaters,
 including many women and children
 broke through the ice in q large pond back of Evergreen cemetery, Brooklyn, to-day, and in the wild struggle for life two boys were drowned. The ice over the center of the pond, where the water was deepest and where the skaters were assembled in greatest number, sudden ly sank. The whole crowd was panic stricken. Men and women fought to save themselves, and children suffered in the unequal struggle. The screams of the imperilled skaters were heard by men employed in the factory near by, and they ran to the pond. They drag ged long blanks with them, which were pushed toward the center. Along this footing life line was formed. Effort was made first to rescue the women and children and by twos and threes they were taken from the water and hustled along the blanks to the shore. The po- lice reserves and surgeons arrived in and succored many of the half drowned skaters. The bodies of the two victims were recovered. They were identified as William Sehwadel and Philip Fleck, each eleven years old, both of whom lived on Linden avenue,

 Of Heart Disease.

Autopsy Shows That Young Crane Died
 Of Heart Disease.
 Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 27.-The au- topsy on the body of Curtis l.. Crane, who died while boxing with his closest friend, George R. Answorth, at Har- yard university yesterday, shows that Crane died from heart disease. The autopsy was performed this morning by Dr. w. D. swan, the medical examiner for Middlesex county. He said one side of Cranes heart was very much en- larged while the other side was very small, and any excitement or undue ex- ertion was likely to cause death The excitement and the exertion necessary to boxing was stated to be the cause of death. As soon as the autopsy had been performed the body was taken to his parents home in Brookline. The fu- neral will probably take place on Tues day. The police on hearing the report of the medical examiner decided to take no further action. Ainsworth at once made a statement of the case as soon as he learned Crane was dead.
