negroes was taken almost from the
pillars, the water being five feet in
front of the door. A police officer
went to the place and rescued an old
woman from the house. and when he
left the building the furniture was
floating about the rooms in about two
feet of water.

San Francisco, March 17.-W. B. Bent
ley, missionary who has been number
ct yeaH in Shanghai, has just arrived
here. Speaking Of the situation in China
he said: ~ --.5--
1.-The latest atrocity committed by the
Boxers was the murder OF three missionar-
les in the province of Chilli. All the mis-
sional1es are f1ooa1ng into the cites as the
country is no longer safe for foreigners.
1.-THE Boxer movement in China has two
distinct phases. In southern China, the
movement is against the dynasty while In
the northern part the cry Is down with
foreigners.
1.-THE entire movement is not actuated by
the Boxers but by class known as the
reform party. The. Cantonese in southern
China have always been hostile to the
present dynasty. This is because the Can
tonese go abroad and inbibe foreign ideas.
Their movements are anti-dynastic. In
the northern parts there is an anti-foreisn
feeling, mingled with the hatred of the
dynasty. ....-;
"Throughout China there is a lack of CO.
operation among the reformers and prob
ably for some time to come the outbreaks
will be of small proportions" a-.-~ +
