SHOULD WARN CHINA
Riots Feared by Ex-Minister Conger In Flowery Land.
WILL ESDANCER ALL FOREIGNERS.
Americans Tn Outlying Districts of Rebellion Zone Are Liable to Att tack Where They Cannot
 Get Aid.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 15.-Ed- win H. Conger, for many years United States minister to China. who is at Pasadena, is quoted in an interview on the present antiforeign agitation in China as follows:
 '"The United States should warn Chi na against a repetition of the terrible riots of few years ago.
 "A show of warships should be made to impress upon the government that the troubles will not be tolerated.
 T am satisfied that serious trouble will come. but do not expect that it will be directed especially against the United States. It will be against the relgning Manchu dynasty.
 "The Manchurians are insignificant in numbers, and the present uprising is for the purpose of establishing a new dynasty. not to oust foreigners" continued Mir, Conger. "The most vio- lent disturbances will be in the soufh- ern 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 for an instant anything inimlcal to the interests of its citizens.
 If only the Chinese can be impress ed that we are on the alert and that we mean business our interests will be secure
 If China is permitted to think that it can ignore our interests something terrible will happen.
 'I believe the boycott on American goods is now beginning to operate against the Chinese themselves. Chi nese merchants long before this boycott was instituted stocked their establish ments with goods from the United States. When the boycott was declar- ei these merchants could moi or dared not sell their goods.
 We learned a lesson in 1eo0. and China learned one too. Our experi- ence should compel us and will to take p1ecauiion-
 "In the future it would be the part yf wisdom to have our varShips and troops ready if only for the purpose bf letting China know that we are watching her.

SHANGHAI RIOTS
Man Just Home From Orient Tells of the Anti Foreign
 Sentiment.

San Francisco, Feb 15.-C. E.. Young, an eyewitness of the recent riot in Shanghai. arrived here yester- day from the orient on the steamer Doric. He tells of the intense anti foreign sentiment that exists among the Chinese and predicts that an up rising will take place within the next few months.
 Young says that 200 Chinese. were killed in the riot in Shanghai and that only the presence of the foreign gun boats at Shanghai prevented the wholesale slaughter of Americans and Englishmen. Young represents local firm, but because of the boycott he was unable to transact any business with the Chinese merchants. Young said:
 "The riot in Shanghai had its incep- ton because of the action of the Brit ish consular court. l was in Shang- hal on December IS, the day of In,- outbreak, and remained there for the few days following during which all foreigners were compelled to carry IT, fies in order to protect themseiyes from harm.
 ''It seems that a Chinese woman accused of trafficking fin slave girls was haled before the consular court. She was found guilty and sent to JaiI The Chinese protested and immediate iy riot was started.
 ''The rioters ran from street to street, searching for foreigners. Re volvers and rifles were used by the Americans and the Chinese answered with volleys of stones. Many were hurt by the flying missiles. but heard of no fatalities among the Americans or English. One English woman was attacked and dragged by the hair. She WIS rescued by a party of her coun- frymeB.
 T know of an instance where s party of foreigners were driven to hay by the mob and were e6mpeiIed to kill six of their assaiIants before they put them to flight.
 The Chinese government officials. Of course. were poweriess to put an end to the uprising and it was only the war<hips tii1t brought the affair tO speedy termination.
 That there will be unoubIe in China is slsnost certainty. All tte Chinese need now Is a leader. The hatred oi forps EeTs is there and all the popuiac,- want is someone to stir them to repeat the atrocities Of the Boxer uprising.

WHAT THE EARTHQUAKE DID.
Curious Franks Played on Steamer

 sarnia at Cartagena.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-An earth. quake of considerable magnitude, which played curious pranks, but did little serious damage. was reported by the steamer Sarnia. which has arrived here from Cartagena. a seaport of Co- lombia. The shock was felt while the Sarnia was moored at dock in the harbor of Cartagena.
 The day was cloudless and the weath- CT nearly perfect when the Sarnia sud- denly began to roll and plunge. Imme- diately there was report Ike that of a small cannon. and the four inch hawser which moored the steamer to the dock snapped in two. Smaller craft moored about the harbor were more seriously affected. some of them striking violently against the docks. while others were swept completely clear of their moorings.
 The Colombian warship Cartagena, lying near the sarnis. had similar ex. perience to that of the latter steamer, breaking four inch mooring rope.

The tone of the report was strongly OBJ
jected to by Rev. DR.. Teunis 8. Hamlin,
pastor of the Church of the Covenant, who
held that the work OF church should not
be judged by the number of professions OF
faith, since many churches were located In
places where their opportunities are very
poor for such work, and 1t Is all they can
do to hold their own. Such report was
discouraging to the ministers of these
churches DIR. Hamlln said.
The chairman of the committee replied
that he had not intended to discourage any
minister but he believed that the value OF
church should be judged by the number
of professions of faith.

of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, par
ticipated in the discussion. stating that in
his experience too much has been made of
the work of evangelists, and that he always
received reports of their revival work with
considerable doubt. Therefore. he was OPP
posed to the comparisons drawn by DR..
