THE PRESIDENT MISTAKEN
A Missionary Says He Is in the
Dark a. to China.
Charges Minister wu With Practic-
ing Deception as to the Real Stntus
in the Orient-Sir Robert Hart
Reported to Be without influence.

An American missionary who has
worked in China for the last twelve
years. writing to a friend in Washington,
has the following to say concerning con-
ditions in the Orient:
AS regards the article written some
months ago by Sir Robert Hart. the same
has been pretty much criticised in China.
He is much TOO pessimistic, and makes
patriots OF the Boxers The old gentle
man has had to go through many un-
pleasant experiences. He is in reality no
such great authority concerning the po-
litical conditions in China. as perhaps he
is assumed TO be in foreign countries. He
for years has been living only in Pekin,
and his views in relation 70 the conditions
of the country in general are limited.
''As far as the American policy in China
IS concerned, every foreigner in China re-
grets the attitude of the United States.
The President does not seem to under
stand the correct conditions here. Reso-
Lutte action is absolutely necessary to
create order. If everything is left with
the Chinese Government then nothing
will be accomplished Unfortunately,
willy Wa Tng-fang has the American peo-
pie on leading strings. He makes the
Americans believe that the Chinese take
them for their best friends"
In confederation of his criticism Of the
Chinese Minister. the writer of the fore
going enCloses in his letter an editorial
clipped from the North China Daily
News published under date of January
II of the present year. The editorial notes
the caustic remarks of the Chinese Min
lister. made at Philadelphia, during the
course Of discussion upon the causes
Of the unpopularity of the foreigner in
China. Minister WI is quoted in his de-
nunciation Of the foreign press in China
whose tone he claimed was calculated to
set the whole Chinese nation against for
eigners and all things foreign, because of
Its practice of denOuncing the Chinese
Government and officials and Condemning
everything which the Chinese people hold
dear and sacred.
In rebuttal, the editorial suggests that
not five people in a million in China ever
see or hear or have any knowledge of
the contents of a foreign newspaper
Those who read the foreign news the edi-
torial continues, are only those Chinese
who are the most enlightened, and this
IS the class which Minister WI has ac-
knowledged is friendly to the foreigner.
The News goes on to state that the
foreign press in China has never de-
nOunced the Chinese officials in harsher
terms than the Throne uses in deuouncing
them from time to time in the ''Pekin
Gazette"
The attacks of the foreign press. the
editorial continues. are not made upon the
Chinese people. but upon the Manchu
Government. which placed WI Ting-faug
as its representative in Washington. and
his right to defend the Government from
which he receives his support is acknowl-
edged

British subject, and is charged with en-

THE HOPE MISSION SERVICES.
Third Anniversary Celebrated by
Song aud Sermon.

The third anniversary Of Hope Mission
was celebrated last night with song and
gospel service. The home of the mission
at 431 Four-and-a-half Street was crowded
with friends who came to hear short talks
by 3. E. Connerly, the new superintcnd-
ent Of the mission and by his wife, Mrs.
Lillian Connerly. Mr.. Connerly is no
stranger to those who have for the past
three years attended service at the Hope
Mission. He was formerly an active
worker in the mission, but some time ago
went to Chicago, where he was engaged
in gospel work He, however returned to
Washington about six weeks ago and was
chosen superintendent.
Mr. Connerly took for his subject the
words Of the Apostle Paul, With conf
deuce toward God. This, he said. was
the foundation of salvation and without
it We might expect 70 accomplish but lit
tie. He also told of his own conversion
about six years ago. while he was work
ing in the Rocky Mountain regions 1t
was then that circumstances made him
look beyond himself for help and. remam-
beriug the words of Paul, he turned with
confidence toward God. % His prayer was
answered, and he still retains the same
confidence in God $ everlasting love for
humanity. Like Paul he too, he said was
often perpleXed and worried but he re-
tanned his confidence in God and mastered
his trials and troubles.
A short talk along the same line was
made by Mrs. Connerly. The exercise $
were conducted by w b. Goodale. who
also spoke briefly on the advantages of
self-denial. During the evening there was
congregational singing. led by the mission
choir, which is composed of twelve voices.

a CHANCE FOR CORK MAKERS.
An Attempt to Form IA Trust in Rus
sia Falls Through.

The State Department is in receipt of
the following report on the production of
corifs IN Russia, by William A. Heydecker.
Vice Consul General at St Petersburg:
The excise department Of the Ministry
OF Finance, which has charge Of the alco-
hol monopoly, has of late been having
trouble with the manufacturers of cOrks.
The latter attempted to form a trust
against the Government In order to com
pei it TO accept exorbttant prices. This
attempt failed, but the department de-
termined, in order to avoid similar recur-
rences. to open a cork factory of it's own
The results afforded by tests made on a
small scale and under unfavorabIe cir
eumstances have proved quite satisf8c-
tory.
The yearly consumption Of the excise
department is abOu six billions of corks
the Government intends for the present
to produce two billions
As some of the largest cork factories
are situated in the United States. it is
quite possible that American experience
and ingenuity may have devised i'm
proved machinery for the production of
corks, in which case the manufacturers
OF such machinery would now have a
good opportunity of Offering their serv-

PLACES FOR YALE STUDENTS.
Opportunity for Minister to Go t.
the Phiiinniu%s

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 10--The
Yale Self-Help Bureau has offered 10 a
limited number of Yale men an oppoTtuu-
ity TO go to the Philippines next fail as
members Of the force of teachers taken
from young college graduates. The invi-
tation to the Yale men came through the
superintendent of education in the Philip
pines. who is anxious to secure from
American colleges enough teachers TO 6ll
the schools Of the islands. The pay viii
be from $75 to $100 a month
The Yale SeIf-Help Bureau. since its
beginning year ago, has been one Of
the most successful and interesting of
Yale institutions. Before that time
there had been no regular channel
through which needy undergraduates
could secure work in the city. and men in
need of such work had to rely on their
own sendeavors to secure employment.
The number of men making use of this
bureau is larger in freshman year than
later in the course, as at that time
man in need of help does net know the
ways of the town. and needs assistance
in helping himself more than later in his
course. There are some SCphOmOreS and
juniors on the list, however, and a few
seniors.
An employment bureau for Yale teach
erS has been the outcome of the present
self-help arrangement. and is now work
ing smoothly, with hundreds of appiica-
tionS for places by Yale men and requests
for teachers by schools and colleges.
