MISSIONARIES NOT TO BLAME.
coNsUL-GENERAL GooDNow NAMES THE
CAUSES OF THE BOXER OUTBREAK.

CAUSES OF THE BOXER OUTBREAK.
San Francisco, Jan. 1 (SpeciaD.-John Goodnow.
United States Consul-Generai at Shanghai, arrived
here to-day for a sixty days vacation a part OF
which he will spend in Washington and part i'm
Minneapolis, his former home. He gives inter
esting summary of the conditions and tendencies
in the Chinese Empire. He says that the policy
adopted by the United States toward China is cor
rect. and the only course destined TO bring about
amicable and fair adjustment of the present diff
culties. 1t includes the proper punishment of Of
tenders with absolute friendliness to the Chinese
people.
Seeming to realize these intentions Of the United
States the Chinese showing particular friend
illness to people No other nation, either
through its policy through it's people has gained
much recognition and respect from the Viceroys
and others in power as has the United States. The
Chinese have come TO lcok upon our hold in the
Philippines substantial control of large factor
in the Orient. Dewey's victory had an almost i'll
calculabe uplifting influence for the prestige of
this Nation, and ii reflected in the subsequent
treatment accorded to American officials. In
China, where this Government had been ignored
by the average Chinese official. it suddenly bound
ed to the dignity OF first class nation, because
of the powerful demonstration of its armed su-
periOrity in Manila Bay. Nothing had ever done
so much TO improve the condition of American
officials in the Empire. Thenceforth they were
the representatives of a great Power.
That the missionaries were the cause Of the up
rising the Consul-General emphatieally denies as
absurd. Missionaries were only feature of the
anti foreign dislike The Boxer outbreak originated
I'm the Shan-Tung Province. That is the district
where there is always food famine. For sew
eTal seasons there had been scarcely any crops
The people poor, dissatisfied and complaining
and the conditions ripe for social outbreak.
But complicated with this feeling of unrest due to
crop failures the fac; that thousands Of junk
men thrown out of work temporarily by the
railroads
Then must be added the quick communication by
telegraph. which has spread a knowledge of out
side affairs among all classes of Chinese News
papers have also increased greatly. and all classes
read them now. AS they have learned OF foreign
ideas of China these readers have become i'm
pressed with pride of country and determination
TO thwart suggested plans of foreign Powers. All
these things help TO bring about Boxer war:
Earl Ii Hung Chang personally told the Consul
General that he rated American missionaries as
superior to those of any other country. The Amer
ican educational institutions in China and other
missionaries have accomplished two things-thou-
sands of Chinese are freely treated in the nos
pitfalls, and other thousands are instructed IN
schools These things make the plain people friend
ly TO Americans.
