First Methodist Church in Honolulu,
has received the following letter from
a missionary of that denomination in
China:
Tzechow, West China,
November II, 1911.
Dear Brother Smith will put in an
extra sheet with this general letter.
We have not been able to do much
missionary work the past two months.
1t has been time of suspense, though
not of fear From the first it has
seemed evident that the movement
was directed not against the church
and foreigners, but against the gov
eminent. 1t seems a strange cOndi,
ton of affairs for China. Always
heretofore the church and the foreign
ers were the first to suffer Here
there has been a lot of fear with
many of the well-to-do people moving
here and there to find a safe place.
Many have moved to the country 10
unfrequented places and some have
moved into the old hill fortresses. We
are living in a fortified city, and have
less to fear probably than almost any
one else in the city. 1t greatly en-
comaged our Christians when it was
heard that in other places they were
using the church as a place of refuge,
A News Center.
We here in Tzechow have had a
good deal to do with conveying the
news. For a part of the time Chenuu
depended on us to get nows out.
am sorry that the papers made mess
of it sometimes, but it went all
straight as far as Chungking. | still
write almost a daily letter to some OF
the friends both in Chentu and Chung
king. We have agreedsto send a card
at least to show that the mails arc
open. Their last word from Chentu
was that there was some fear of a
massacre of he Manchus in the inner
city. The Chinese who live in there
have moved on in great numbers and
some of the Manchus have gone with
them, From Chung-king we hear that
that city is likely to go over to the
Irevolutionists. Also that the prov
inces south of us are feeling the
movement against the throne.
It has seemed to us exceedingly

A Scared Manchu.
Twan Fang arrived last night. a
month later than he should have been
here. He is a Manchu and afraid to
go on to Chentu. He is afraid for two
reasons, one that he cannot succeed
where Chao failed and the other that
he might lose his head like the other
Manchus may. His soldiers are not
sent to put down the rebels a day

Bad Faith Caused Revolt.

As to the reason for the movement
We are inclined to think that the gov
eminent has not kept faith with the
people. That is, they propose a con
stitutional government, but just before
the new order takes effect they do all
they can to tie up the revenue foI
years to come. In this instance they
had mortgaged the revenues for fortS
years to come, 1t seems to me that
they have begun at the wrong end OF
railroad building in this province
They porpose first to borrow money t
build the most expensive line II the
West, that through the Tang-tsi
gorges. No ont can rightly estimate
the cost of the many miles of tunnel
ing Necessary and that through the
hardest of fiinty limestone, And no one
can estimate the amount of graft to
be gotten out of such stupendous un,
dertaking. 1t seems to me that the
right thing to do is to begin in small
way ana Dullu IOdu ludI VIII bS 'N'i Z
to bring in large profits.
/ The road that one would think of a!
once is that west from Chentu. 1t i;
on a plain so level that no hill ten
feet high would be found on the thir-
ty-five miles from Chentu to Kwan
Shien. Then there is the finest water
power in the province which should be
utilized not only for this railway, but
for lighting Chentu. This line would
be Immediately profitable, for there is
an immense traffic which would be
greatly increased by the products of
the coal mines and stone quarries in
that district After this they could eX-
tend the line down our river to Chung
king, and take the power from this
river and two others, using electricity
all the way. The railroad taxes al
ready on hand would build the first
line and enable them to finance the
whole line to Chung-king, and develop
little of the enormous water power
of SZchuan.
