CHINESE CONVERTS WORRIED.
Much Antmosity shown TO Them In
the Ynnshing DistSict.


P"king, July 23.-- Before leaving for
Paotingfu Chou-fu the provincial!
treasurer and commissioner for the set
tl"mcnt Of missionary claims was en-
terlancd al dinner by the American
ana English missionaries in recognition
of the settlement of all claims of con
vrrtS in that province.
The Rev. Mr. Norris has started for
Ynnghing, where he will hold memorini
services for Mr.. Norman, the mission
nry. and n number of converts whC
We're mnssacred last year The local
officials provided an escort for Mr. Nor
ris.
A band of 800 converts is reported ia
be in that district. The native con.
vcrtS do not feel secure. There is
much local animosity displayed toward
them, and the leading official has ar.
ranged for them to occupy the property
Of Il wealthy farmer who acted as a
Boxer leader and took a prominent
part in melting the massacres OF last
year.
Work on the barracks and fortifica-
tions for the legation quarter is pro
crossing rapidly. Those in charge are
hurrying the work in order that quar-
tiers for the foreign guards may be
ready at the time of the evacuation in
August. The fortifications of the Brit
ish quarter appear to be most extensive
and thorough. Chambers for mines
have been dug at all the approaches
to the legation quarter, and projections
for guns are being built. This precau-
tion has been taken because the British
occupy the most critical position of any
of the legations.

ceeding rapidly. The car was about

son says that the recent break in
the Amalgamated Copper stocks repre-
scented to him a loss of about $7,OOO,-
000 He says he not only did not know
the break was coming, but had been
informed that the rumOr that the extra
dividend would be passed was without
foundation. Lawson says that he did
not sell a share Of Amalgamated on
account of the break, and that he has
at present more than he held at the
time of the break, and that the hold
ings amount to more than $4,000
shares.
He could not give his friends any
advance information concerning this
break Mr.. Lawson SAYS for the simple
reason that he did not possess it. He
declares that certain directors and in
siders in Amalgamated affairs sold
their holdings previous to the an
nOuncement of the cut in the dividend.
Lawson also says that in his opinion
the cut in the dividend was not COM
PEELED by any business necessity, and
that, rumors to the contrary nOtwith-
standing, he is not going to fail, but is
