WARNING BY CONGER
Ex-MINTsTER PREDICTS BIG UP.
RISING IN CHINA.
Foreigners Not Real DISQUALIFICATION
Forming Against Manchu Dynasty
Our Interests I'm Danger--Ex- Minis
ter Predicts Violent Disturbances.

Edwin III. Conger. for many years
United States minister to China, and
who is staying at Pasadena, Cal, for
the winter, is quoted in an interview on
the present anti-foreign agitation in
China as follows:
1.-THE United States should warn
China aainst repetition of the terri
BILE riots of few years ago.
"A show of warships should be
made to impress upon the government
of China that troubles must not be re-
peated and will not be tolerated.
II am satisfied that serious trouble
will come, but do not expect that 1t
will be directed especially against the
United States, but will be against the
reigning Manchu dynasty.
'The Manchurians are insignificant
I'm numbers and the present uprising is
for the purpose of establishing a new
dynasty and not to GUST foreigners"
continued Mr.. Conger.
THE most violent disturbances will
be in the southern provinces and will
endanger all foreign interests.
Americans within the zone Of the
rebellion are liable to be hurt before
they can get out and that is why the
United States should let China know
that 1t will not tolerate or an instant
anything inimical to the interests of It's
citizens.
IF the Chinese can be impressed
that we are on the alert and that we
mean business our interests will be Sc
cure.
IF China is permitted to think that
IL can ignore our interests something
terrible will happen.
1.-THE trouble now will be a great
struggle within the empire-a battle
of popular majority against the dy-
nastic minority. 1t has been coming
for many years and has now appar-
emily reached a climax.
II believe the boycott on American
goods is now beginning to operate
against the Chinese themselves. Chi
lnese merchants long before this boy
llishments with goods from the United
States. When the boycott was declar-
ed these merchants could not or dared
not sell their goods.
I'VE learned a lesson in 1900, and
China learned one, too. Our expert
ence should compel us to take every
precaution.
I'm the future ii would be the part
of wisdom to have our warships and
troops ready II only for the purpose of
letting China know that we are watch
ing her"

for Four Months.
Otis Bowers, the minstrel, who has,
been in custody of Sheriff Phillips in
Sioux Falls since October IL last on a
body attachment secured by Water.
town woman to satisfy Judgment for
$500 secured by her against Beach g.
Bowers, has at last been released from,
custody The securing of the judg-
ment by the WATERFOWL woman grew
out of an accident that occurred
while the Beach & Bowers minstrel
show was giving performance In a
tent in that city. A section of the
seats collapsed and the woman re-
ceived severe injuries.
Since last October the Watertown
parties have paid 81 per week to

But finally they became convinced
that they could not compel Mr.. Bow

and rather than continue paying his
board, which already had aggregated
about 500, they ordered that he be
discharged from custody.
