ness relations with the people Of China
have been 1lsinase for nore than 3
d. zen years, regsrds the situation 10
Cbins with grave apprehension.
BE considers shs manifese!on CT dis
order IS primarily anti American,
bus what >nsinsnt OF "Chins for the
Chinese" underlying she erupsions,
the trounls is csrtsin, in his opinion,
20 spread and boone an snti.foreign
uprising that sill make al other Ms
siclalisies excepting shs Jspanese to
be subjects OF attack. Speaking OF
the prospect OF trouble, Mf. Sch 9erin
Lass night said:
'The Boxsr uprising Of 1900 was
4ae cae s7idence OF the fernent Of
anti-:oreign feeling, but when order
has been restored no people stood
closer TO the Chinese than did the
Americans. And as a reeult, our
srads with Ohina has increased By
leaps and Bounds sircs the end Of the
Boxer outbreak. Bus the ansi Amer
tcan boycott has not only checked nhs
dsvelopnent Of trade relations, but
what has alrsady been built up Il
aow threatened. This is only the re-
faX Of the active and aggressive meth-
ida OF certain labor organizations OF
she Pac:fo. The clear intent Of the
srcssy Of 1894 has bscn perverted. 1t
defined the excluded Class but IN re-
sponse to the constantly asserted lat
OF Influence ehe provisions ha75 beeR
buried out OF sight.
Then again, the lsboring orgsn's
atious on the coast have applied the
ooycost, not only agsfnss Chinese
gooos i'm ported into the country. but
asainst Cainsse goods imporssd into
the country, butagainst the merchant
who would tug the garden products
the Chinese farmer in the cosss states
and The result has been that the
Chinanen have turned the weapon
upon bhe Americans, who taught
them the example and power ID pos
s-sssd."
The Presbyterian board Of foreign
missions, in New York in consequences
Of the enbarkation OF American sol
diers tor the far east, IN anticipation
Of service In China, has decided to
keep in touch with the nearest thesty
oorts IN case Of tiCuole.
The chief cause OF anxiety, sccor-
ding to the secretary OF ths board, Is
the constant spreading Of vrorg ideas
OF the treatment Of the Chinese in
this country Stories are bsing ci1-
culated taroug China OF the massacre
Of Chinese il Amorica and they have
yellow ] u:nals just as We have them
mere. But they have not the intel!i-
gercs we have and the stories have
a greater perl entsge OF believers. We
knew OF the the presidents inten-
rion to send troops to the Philippines
weeks ago.
