TERMS FOR CHINA
Decide to Formulate Demands

Pekin. Jan. "a meeting of the Pro-
testant missionaries We held today To-
consider the terms Of the joint note Of
the powers to China. \ majority Of
the missionaries spoke on the subject.
The ronc6nsUs of opinion was that thu
note was not comprehensive enough.
The Rev. w. W. owens. of the Amer
lean board Of foreign missions, said Ire
was opposed to it for three reasons
because IL was narrow, selfish and
careless. He added that il did not men
lion the slaughter of Christians, but
merely referred to the killing OF Baron
Won Ketteler. the German minister and
an official of the japanese legation
Sugiyama AkiTa.
The Rev. Dr. Tewksbury. of the
American hoard of foreign missionaries.
said the note was better than could be
expected. considering who prepared IT.
StiU it was unsatisfactory
The Rev. Mr. WherTy pointed out
that the note was not comprehensive
enough.
The Rev. Dr. II. II. Lowrey. of the
Pad Ting Flu mission, said the mis-
sionaries should get together the same
as business men and press their de
uland upon the ministers when the time
came Tor making the treaties.
The Rev. Mr.. Upcraft said he thought
that the mention of Christianity in the
note would have been a mistake as il
might have prevented its adoption by
japan. the latter being a heather
country.
Mr.. LoWrey's proposition that the
missionaries should adopt a program
and endeaV0r To get their respective
ministers To see it inserted IN the treat
les was agreed TO.
Finally. two representatives of each
mission were appointed a committee 10
formulate the views of those who took
part in the meeting.
Baron Nossi, the japanese minister,

esa minister NJ. JutarO KOmura, hdV-
