Carpenter’s Letter (Contintied from Beventh Page.) this may be caused by the orders from the State department, which ate holding back both the diplomats and the army from doing things which they naturally would do. The Americans so far are the only sol- diers who have not looted Pekin. The Rus- ¢lans have looted from the start, and when disappointed in finding little in a house they have killed the inmates without mercy. The Russian minister does not attempt to restrain them. He merely weeps and wrings his hands and says he can do nothing. It is the same with the French, whose sol- diers have klllel coolles, women, children end old men without mercy. The Japanese captured 2,000,000 taels, or about $1,500,000, in the board of public works when they cameo in, and a little later on the French, Russians and Japanese organized offcial looting, thelr minlisters eliher not caring or not attempting to prevent it, The English troops were at first forbidden to CONSUL GENERAL GOODNOW IN loot, but after two days the British officers began a systematic collection of all kinds of treasures and brought them to the Brit. ish legation. They sent out Hindoo sikhs with pack trains and brought silks, futs, Jewels and sllver into the legation and sold them there at auction. The proceeds are to be divided among the British sol- dlers. Minister Conger and the American officers have succeeded in holding back our troops, much to the latter’s disgust, One day the Americans found within thelr lines 500,000 taels, about $425,000. The French im- mediately declared that the line was wrongly drawn and drew their guns on the Americans. An investigation was made and the Americans gave in and the French got the money. In the same way our sol- diers allowed the Russians to take the imperial palace from them after they had done the fighting and lost eight men in taking it The Russians also took the empress’ summer palace, the rallway and arsenal at Tien Tsin and other strategio It is a question whether in these cases forbearance had not ceased to be a virtue, but at any rate Min- ister Conger probably carried out the or- ders of his superiors. The position o1 our minister in the peace negotiutions is a trying one. The Chinese, the Russians and the British all seem to be playing the part of the monkey in attempt- ing to use the American cat to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for their respec- tive countries, and vigilance, backbone and diplomacy are required in watching that they do not. Major Conger has had experi- ence as a diplomat as minister to Brazlil, where he succeeded well, and also during the present administration at Pekin. He has been popular with the Chinese, as well as with the Americans, and especially the missionaries. There are altogether, not including the soldiers, something like 2,600 Americans in China and of these 1,700 are missionaries. Many of them are of sterling ability and worth and they have, I believe, been doing much good. They have colonies at all the ports and stations at many places in the interlor. Minister Conger visits them and alds them. 1 have been told that he is a Unitarian, but his ideas as to missions are strong enough to please the most castiron Puritan. He makes a good missionary speech, Interspersing his remarke with anecdotes and petsonal expervences, One of the lattet which he fecently told is affect- ing showing the heartfelt intetrest that some of our children have in the Chinese. “When I left Brazil,” sald the American minister, ‘‘to come to China, I passed through my old town of Des Moines and while there the good people gave me a re- ception. 1 shook hands with them and was bidden Godspeed on my way to China. There were many children in the crowd that came to say good-bye and among them a swect little girl whose earnestness I shall never forget. As she shook my hand she said: ‘ ‘Major Conger, 1 do hope when you go to China you will take Jesus with you to the poor heatkens, “‘Ah! iy little girl,’ sald I, ‘I don't need to do that. Jesus is there already! He is there in the books your Sunday school has sent. He I8 there in that noble army of men and women martyrs, the Christian missionaries, who have gone out into that | benighted land that the poor Chinese may have the light of our Savior's love.'”” This HIS OFFICE IN SHANGHAL story had a great effect. The skeleton of it is probably true, but as I heard it I wondercd whether Major Conger had not padded the bonem with a little oratorical flesh and blood, fot yoit will agree It was a rather long speech fof a statesmati to utter to a little girl in the intervals of handshaking and baby-kissing. Fotmer Minigter Denby will ptrobably have a big bill of damages against the Ch'nese goverhment for its injuries to the American legatioh. Colonel Denby owns the legation buildihg, so 1 understand. He bought it while He wad ministet fo# $35,000 and has been renting it to the gov- ernment for a big percentage on the in- vestment. When 1 first visited Canton this year 1 stopped with Hubbard T. Smith, who was then in charge of the American consulate, serving during the interim between Dr. Ed- ward Bedloe and his successor. Every one knows Mr. Smith as the author of “‘Listen to My Tale of Woe,” “Bwinging in the Grapevine Bwing' and othér hymtal mélo- dies, but all do not know that he Is one of the best efficers i our cofisular ervice. He 18 one of the few men 6n the permanent list, being used by the State department to go from place to place, fill all kinds of vacancies and straighten up mismanaged offices. In Canton I found Mr. Smith c'o-e, but not too close, to Li Hung Chang. He was popular with the foreigners and successful with the Chinese. He kept bachelor's hall in one of the finest build- ings in the foreign concession of Shanghali, which he had fitted up with electric lights and all other conveniences for the incom- ing consul, At Hong Kong 1 met Rounseville Wild- man, a young man who is figuring much in the papers in his dispatches from Hong Kong regarding matters in Manila and China. He is our consul general at that place and his position is sald to be worth in the neighborhood of $10,000 a year. Mr. Wildman is not only a diplomat, but also an author., He has published good books about the Malays and Straits Settlements, and has just issued in a small volume an up-to-date history of China. He is a man of taste and culture with a penchant for Chinese snuff bottles and curious pets, one of his recent acquisitions being a young tiger cat, which he fondles in the intervals of his consular and diplomatic labors.
