ltAibthgs ILL., INGNlbNJ
Last Sunday night two young ladies
accompanied the brother Of one of
them to the depot, where he was to
take the midnight train for the north,
and when they started back to their
home in lower Albany they soon be-
came aware that they we're followed
by something dressed like a man. The
night was very dark and stormy, so
the girls had but a vague idea of his
appearance. He governed his pace by
theirs, remaining about the same dis
tance behind, evidently delaying the
attack until a more secluded spot was
reached. but the thoroughly frightened
girls ran from the sidewalk and rang
the door bell at the home of a man
they knew well. and when the follow.
er saw this he suddenly disappeared
in the darkness. The gentleman whom
they called up accompanied the girls
safely TO their home. Subsequent in
Quiry has centered suspicion on a well
known village character, and II is safe
20 say that any further demonstration
of this kind will make this orderly lit
tie town just a few degrees cooler than
hades for him.

other leading American newspapers
printed in their Sunday issues what
is destined to be a historic newspaper
story from a special correspondent at
Pekin. 1t gives for the first time
confidential letter of dynamic force
written by President \ 1uan Shin Kai
to 300 leading and influential Chinese
throughout the republic, and IN re-
markable interview to the press OF
the world. The interview was i'm
prOmptu, and was delivered shortly
after midnight of April 10, as his eX-
cellency stood in his offices in the For
bidden City, clad for the first time in
full evening dress. His statement
was as follows:
yes, | can believe that all the
United States will gladly receive
| brief message from me, for that great
nation, its government and people, is
not new in the field as a champion of
! China's rights; and is it any wonder
/ that our leaders everywhere are as
unit almost for the patterning of our
republic after the great republic of
! the west? l know of none of our chief
men, even when of strongly opposing
/ factions, who are not for the making

DR.. Chong, Gen. H'yang and others,

! government, invariably referred to the
| United States as the model we should
choose. 1t will take time, of course
probably 80 years; but what is so
years in the life of China? She was
old and venerable when the western
nations were born. Shewill be young
when the western nations are old"

while those about the immense room
bowed repeatedly in undoubted &C.

not of much use to replace this. as it

Before giving the interview Presi-
dent Yuan consented to the wide
spread publication of his Letter of
Confidence and Brotherhood which he
sent several days before to 800 Off
cials, Iiterati, landed gentry and men
of worth and intelligence throughout
China. He had not intended it to go
outside of China for the present. but
the clever arguments of the CORE
spondent and the advice of several Off
cials prompted him to permit its
spread in the United States and Eu-
rope. The letter is addressed: ITO
My Friend and My Brother in Pa
triotiG Desires"
! This letter, which the president as
sures the recipient he writes as would
| a blood brother from Pekin, deals in
an exceedingly frank way with such
important subjects as the loan situa-
tion, his rumored hankeTing for a
! crown. the status of the republic, the
attitude of the foreign nations, the
historic friendship of the United States
! for China, his opinion of the deposed
/ imperial family, the condition of the
country's credit and his use of the ar
my.
He makes stirring appeal to pa
triotism, urges a death dealing cam
paign against the opium traffic. ex-
plains what he proposed to do with all
moneys received in foreign loans, and
/ lays particular and repeated emphasis
upon his firm determination that for
eigners. especially missionaries, must
be made to feel safe to go at will to
the remote sections of the land. The
letter. the effect of which has been to
greatly clarity the situation and to
strengthen the government, concludes
in the following mastery manner:
