Missionaries Cause Trouble.

aside from this chief source of anti
foreign feeling the troubles in China are
due to the presence of missionaries. l was
assured by very prominent Chinese that
the Chinese people are not at all friendly
to the presence of foreign missionaries.
They resent the efforts of the missionaries
to force lot of new creeds on their people
The Chinese have perhaps a more firmly
fixed religious belief than any other people
in the world and they look upon the re-
lgions of the western world with scant
favor
THE Chinese government Is as friendly
to the people and government of the Unit
ed States as toward any other, although
nothing has a greater tendency TO strain
them than the frequent publication OF false
reports and threatened armed invasions AL
though not encouraged by the government
in any way these reports constitute grave
menace to the continuance of amicable re-
latioris between the Chinese and Americans
for these misleading reports by means of
the native press are circulated broadcast
throughout the empire and find ready ere
dence among the masses.

GREEN NE-GAYNOR TRIAL
COURT MADE ANNOUNCEMENT OF
CONTINUOUS SESSION.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 9.-Upon the
convening of the federal court today Judge
Speer announced that 1t was his purpose
to hold practically continuous session un-
til the conclusion of the reading of the
cross-eXamination of the late r. F. West
colt in the Greene and Gaynor case. saying
I'VE will stay all day and II need be all
night to get through with that cross exam
nation"
No allusion was made by the court to his
remarks to the jury yesterday to which
counsel for the defense took exception as
prejudicial to the prisoners cause. 1t was
inferred therefrom that the court had read
lie report Of his remarks and failed to con-
cur in counsefs view as to their hostility to
Greene and Gaynor.
Henry L. Stimson, United States district
attorney for the southern district of New
York, took the sand, the reading Of the
Westcott testimony being suspended. He
said he was attorney for Westcott in 1885,.
He was questioned about the transfer Of
bonds from Westcott to Carter, which, he
said, took place in his office. Carter
checked the securities, signed a receipt and
took the securities away. Stimson testified
that Carter said to Westcott, Daddy, l.
wish you would take these, but the latter
declined.
The Westcott Estate.
The witness was asked about the value of
the Westcott estate, but said he regarded
his knowledge upon that point confiden-
tial. He appealed to the court not to rule
that he should answer the district attor-
ney's question and the court directed that
he should not, as 1t was matter that he
held jim confidence an attorney. Mr..
Stimson was questioned at length about the
character of Westcott.
The testimony that was being presented
was of a nature to show that Mr.. Westcott
failed in his recollection of very many of
the matters upon which he was cross-ex-
amined by Mr. Kellogg.
Mr.. Stimson said he regarded Mr.. West
colt as man of intelligence and excellent
understanding. positive and assertiye and
always sure of his opinion. Upon the con-
clusion of the examination of Mr.. Stimson,
whose evidence was secured today in order
that he might return to New York at once,
the reading of Westcott's cross-examina-
ton was resumed.
announcing the resumption of the session
for 2 O. clock promptly.

NEW GUNS FOR ARMY
$50 Batteries Of Four Guns Each Or
dered by United States.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13-Gen. Crozier.
chief of the ordnance department. has
given testimony before a subcommittee
OF the House Committee on Appropria-
tions in explanation OF his estimate for
the field guns adopted two years ago.
''rhe new gun" so he said. rs not very
much moro powerful than the old one.
II s Of A little smaller caliber, nevcrthe-
less firing a little heavier projectile. The
principal difference in the carriage Is that
for the now gun II permits q very long
recoil of the gun upon the carriage on
discharge This recoll is sometimes over
three feet, For this reason the action
OF the gun upon the carriage In tho recoil
is very gentle and the carriage Is not
displaced. nor Is any Time lost In realm
ing the gun. Instead OF firing one or two
rounds a minute was possible with the
old gun, tho new gun will be ready to fire
fifteen times IN one minute"
The General hopes to supply the army
with so batteries of these guns; that Is
at the ratio of two guns per thousand
men for On army OF 50O.OtO men. which,
he says, IS u very moderate estimate.
Thus far, he said, the committee had ap-
propriatcd enough for CO such batteries OF
four guns each. OF which IS batteries
have been for the regular army and the
reserve. and "a have been for the use of
the militia, At the present rate the sup
ply viii be completed in 1909
