MR.. C0NGER EXPLAINS.

Our former Chinese minister, Mr. Ed
win II. Conger. believes that the pres
ent agitation IN China is directed
against the Manchu rulers. He be-
lleves that its ultimate purpose Is the
establishment upon the dragon throne
Of another dynasty.
This Is possible II was supposed
that the late boxer rising had a similar
object In view. The Manchus con-
quered China about go years ago. Be-
fore that time the "celestlals" dressed
very much like the Japanese, and wore
their hair the same way. But the
Manchus, In order TO wipe out traces
Of Chinese sovereignty. compelled the
people to adopt the Manchurian cos
tume--the present costume of the Chi
nese--and also to wear the hair In a
braid, Manchurian fashion, the pro-
cess OF characterization being car
ried out to the most minute details
Many Chinese now. however, are rebels
In their hearts against the Manchu
rulers. Many OF them have discarded
the queue the badge OF submission. IL
IL quite possible, therefore, as Mr.. Cor :
ger says. that the leaders OF the pres
ent ferment aim at the displacement OF
the reigning house.
The Chinese minister IN Berlin, how
ever, has recently given expression TO
Al - htn d
foreigners. He says that these out
breaks are evidence Of the awakening
| of a new national spirit; that China
will no longer tolerate foreign agrees
sion and will not allow Chinese abroad
| to be treated as an inferior race. HI
| further stated his belief that interna-
| tional action against China Is lmpos'
| sibe in view OF the political situation
| and that no power will venture TO act
single handed; for China" he added
"is now IN a position to place In the
field modern army OF 100000 men and
| this number is steadily increasing
| In conclusion, he said "China will al
| last try to stand up for her rights
| A Chinese missionary who has ira
veled extensively IN the country, at
| tributes the hostile sentiment to wild
stories circulated among the ignorant
classes concerning the ill-treatment Of
! Cinnamon in the United states. This
il probably true. The 'yellow Jour
nails" Of China are far ahead OF theil
kin In other countries, when the ques'
ton Is Of circulating lurid tales. We
have seen what effect stories concoct'
ed and spread broadcast by mallce,havt
had In creating prejudice against
Church IN this enlightened country, ant
do not wonder, therefore, II the Chi
nese are aroused to the point of fana'
tlcism by the crafty leaders OF the an
tl-foreign agitation. IL looks as IL trou
Bile were inevitable,
II would be difficult, however, e
predict just what VIII happen. The
armies OF China are controlled by th'
viceroys. and the dynasty would seen
to be safe as long as a majority OF
them are loyal. should they divide
there might be civil war and the for
eigncrs outside the treaty ports woul(
not be safe. Civil war In China would
mean more military work for Japan.
