coNGER TALKS OF CHINA.

CONGER TALKS OF CHINA
Minister Conger furnishes article under above
caption which will appear in this weeks Leslie's
Weekly:
ssUnless matters have changed very materially
since lett China six weeks ago. the powers will
reach some conclusion in regard to China soon
OF course it is difficult for eleven men to agree on
anything, especially when they have eleven govern
ments, with differing views, behind them. China
is perfectly willing do anything that the powers
agree upon-that is, anything within her ability to
accomplish She is only too anxious to expedite
these matters and settle down to peaceful pursuits
again.
GOT course, the powers must demand an
indemnity which China will be physically unable
to pay 1t is not certain that finally some nation
may not demand territory of China in lieu Of
money indemnity. 1t is perfectly certain that if
any nation does make this demand the partition of
China will follow, and this will inevitably cause
much dssension between the powers. These diff
culties and disputes would be long in settling, and
would lead to terrible confusion in China
''Russia has SO far mitigated her demands that
there is not now much danger of serious difficulty
between her and Japan. Personally | am very
much IN favor OF the continued existence of China
as an empire, governed by her emperor. 1t
VIII save us ana all the rest OF the world lots OF
trouble if the integrity of the empire is maintained
Gas far as the punishment of Chinese officials
goes, China has already done all that she could.
Something out of the ordinary had to be demanded
by the powers, for it takes good deal of punish
ment to impress this people, and this was no ordi-
nary offense. In some officials whose punish
ment was demanded were powerful than the
government, and then, of course, the punishment
could not be enforced. Except in these cases
everything was done the powers demanded.
eat home understand that was thought blood
thirsty, but in China was the most enient of all
the ministers, except one. We knew the conditions
know them. Drastic measures demanded, but
do not think that cruel What would
severe punishment to us at home would not
impress the Chinese at ALL for the reason that they
indulge in many cruel and unusual punishments
The reports of cruelty the part of soldiers have
been grossly exaggerated, though am sure that
there was plenty of brutality the part of indiv
dual soldiers AS army the allies were exceed
ing we'll behaved. Nor were the stories Of unre-
stricted looting true. In Pekn the soldiers took
what they needed, of course, just as we would have
seized anything that needed while we were Gag
ed up in the compound, had we been able to fasten
upon anything that would help to withstand the
siege AS for the stories of missionary ooting they
undisgusedly false. The missionaries did not
loot"

said that her mother. who died about

When asked il she had any relatives

she had not, but that it was the rule
in Sweden for graduates from colleges
to be given a nom de plume by which

The family are certain that Weis-

the fact that so many Of the Peterson

The entire family is very happy TO
feel that fortune is about TO smile on
