There is no marked anti-forelgn feeling in Northern or Central China.” NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—In view of the many disturbing reports appearing in the public press concerning the condi- tions In China and the possibility of further outbreaks, such as those at Lienchow and Shangai, and the conse- quent anxiety of relatives and friends of missionaries in China, the secretary of the Missionary Society of the Meth- odist Episcopal church sent cablegrams of inquiry to Bishop Bashford at Shanghal and also to representatives of the eeveral missions of that church at Tientsin, North China; Nangking, Cen- tral China; Chungkeng, West China, and Foochow, for the Foochow and Hinghua missions. These cablegrams were sent on Thursday and Friday, February 15 and 16. That to Bishop Bashford covered an inquiry into all the church's mis- sions in China. He recently returned from an official visit to the West China Mission, coming down the river through the Central China Mission, whose chief stations are on the Yangtse. In the | late fall he spent some weeks in the Foochow and Hanghua missions in the | south, where there has been the most agitation among the Chinese people. The Bishop's cablegram, dated Feb- ruary 16, is reassuring. It is as fol- low “All are safe in China. No danger apparent BASHFORD.” The responses from the mission treasurers in North, Central, Western and South China, dated February 17, are of llke tenor to that from the | Bishop. They are as follows: TIENTSIN—No disturbances; safe. N ANGKING—No trouble anywhere. | FOOCHOW—Foochow and Hinghua quiet, | CHUNGKENG—AI quiet Not a letter received recently at the | missionary office from any Methodist missionary in China speaks of any trouble or excitement among the Chi- nese people or expresses an apprehen- sion of an outbreak. The secretaries of the Missionary So- | clety added to the foregoing Statement the following: | China is in & tranquil state and the leaven { of Western ideas is working the mass, some of | the ferment is to be expected, but any general uprising such as the Boxer uprising is not very probable. The veteran missionary, Dr. Arthur Smith, author of ““China in Convuleion,” ex- | pects some trouble and sporadic outbreaks, but does not belleve it the awtul tragedy of 1900 can be repeated. The Government of China knows that the vengeance of the forelgn na- { tfons would fall with terrific force not only upon the dynasty, but upon the empire itself, if the terrible scenes of 1900 were re-enacted. The situation is delicate and calls for pru- dence on the part of the missionaries and pre- cautionary measures by the soclet! e mis- #lol es are on the ground; many of them are men and women of large experience and know how to discern signs of coming danger. It is safe to rely on their judgment.

The re- ply of Fallleres was without formality. It was a simple acceptance of the new re- sponsibilities and an assurance of his best efforts in carrying them out. Fallieres and Loubet both wore evening dress, with the broad scarlet sash of the Legion of Honor across their breasts. The preserce of their military staffs in full uniform gave a touch of brilliancy to the scene within the palace, while the escorts of cuirassiers which accompanied Fal- lieres and Loubet to and from the palace gave fitting dignity to the occasion. Following the ceremony the former | President and his family withdrew to their private apartments in the Rue Dante. President Fallieres did not remain long at the palace, returning to his former home, where his wife awaited him. Presi- Mme. Fallleres will take up their residence in the Elysee Palace to- | morro Thousands lined the route from the Luxembourg Palace to the Elysee Palace and cheered the new President as he | passed in an open landau with Premier | Rouvier, smiling and bowing to the con- tinuous ‘ovations. The scene as the President-elect drove within the courtyard at the Elysee Pal- ace was one of great animation. A regi- ment of infantry, which encircled the en- tire courtyard, rendered military honor: bugles sounded fanfares, the colors were | dipped and the band struck up the ‘‘Mar- selllaise.” President Loubet awaited his successor in the Salon des Embassadores, where the formal transmission took place. After welcoming his successor, President Lou- | bet saia: | Your long and brilliant services to | the republlc assure the success of your ! | presidency and the well being of the re- | public and country. Throughout my ad- | ministration, which is now brought to a close, I have sought to establish peace, | union and concord between all good citi- | zens, that they might labor together in the upbullding of our institutions of so- | clal progress and in strengthening the | bonds between France and other coun- | tries. The future will say if I have real- ized some of this programme, to which I have concentrated all my efforts, “Thanks to the constant support of Parliament, the relations between France | and other nations have been constantly fortified and we have full confidence in | the maintenance of peace and security of the national honor.” President Loubet closed with evidence of much emotion. Failieres responded as | tollows: | “I am profoundly touched by the cor- diality of the welcome given me. I came | here simply as one goes to a duty, know- ing that 1 will be sustained in my task by the recollection of the high civic vir- tues of which you have never ceased to set an example during your term as President. I take up these great respon- sibilities hoping that I may fulfill them as you have done under all circumstances. Like you, I will be everything to France |and to the republic.” As a delicate compliment, President | Fallleres drove with Loubet as the latter |left 1ne Elysee Palace to return to the |life of a simple citizen. | This evening Premier Rouvier formally [ handed the resignation of the Cabinet to | President Fallieres.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—The Tribune's correspondent at Peking in a dispatch discussing the “growth of the American | boycott in an anti-foreign and anti- | dynastic agitation on the discovery that the boycott has united all parties and all faiths into a common purpose,” says: As time has advanced control of the boycott has passed comgletely from the hands of honest merchants to the revolutionaries, until now it has become a great weapon to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. Meanwhile the Government, energized by oke to China's position In the scale of nations and instituted wide-reaching reforms. To-day the Dowager Empress is, under Yuan Shi Kal's advice, the foremost reformer in the empire, The mass of the people believe China. i cap- able of assuming her place at the head of na- tions and blames the Government for being pro—forelgn and obstructive. Yuan Shi Kal g:lwm an equipped and disciplined army, but he has been unable to control its political opinlons. The Govern. ment’s copper cent currency is at 60 per cemt discount. Hence there is discontent in the army and, owing to the inability of the offi- clals to preserve the right of pay which was guaranteed, trouble recently broke out at the Paotingfu army headquarters between Chinese and Manchus leading to the murder of several of_the Manchu The situation is now such that if an uprising ocours the court will take refuge in the legations.

Edward Wiler Dun- lap, an alumnus of Princeton and one of the most notorious criminals in the annals of America, made the observa- tions and reduced them to writing while serving his sentences in penitentiaries. While in an Eastern penitentiary he attracted the attention of Dr. John Chaliers de Costa, who eventually pro- cured his pardon and gave him an op- portunity to live an honest and useful life As a token of appreciation, Dunlap bequeathed his manuscript to Dr. de | Costa, and, as an evidence of good faith, he directed that his bedy be dissected with a view to a scientific study of his skull and brain, Best known in the world of crime as “Split the Wind,” Dunlap achieved na- tional notoriety as a housebreaker. His literary efforts were confined to essays on the subject of involuntary crime, and in e chapter he sought to show that detected crime is held as a great moral wrong, while moral crime, kept | within the strict letter of the law, has ever been exploited as enterprise and in some cases as genius. He analyzed the life work of Jay Gould and sought to show that it differed in no essential of morality from his own life. Carrying out this theory, Dunlap argued: “Just as new thieves have come upon the scene so have new methods been developed. The Napoleons of finance, who are the bandits of to-day, substi- tute legislation for the road agent's gun, and the threat implied by the fa- miliar ‘Hands up! appears in the form of ruinous competition. Of the two types the road agent stands out the better man, because the braver.” With an amazing knowledge of finance, he dissected many of the more notable achievements of men like Mor- gan, Gates, Schwab, Rogers, Rockefel- ler and Lawson, and, upon presenting irresistible conclusions, asks science to tell the world wherein these men differ from him, in that his robberies violated only the law of the land, while their BOY WANDERS FROM HOME IN SACRAMENTO —_ HODSON smC PNOFO o+ R-OLD BOY OF SACRA- 0, WHO HAS BE!

Feb. 18.—In a state- ment he made public to-night Presi- dent Dolan of the local district. United Mine Workers of America, scores the methods of John Mitchell, national president of the Mine Workers. and charges him with trying to shirk the responsibility for the present position of the Mine Workers. Dolan also ac- cuses Mitchell of “playing to the gal- leries” by threatening the operators with a national strike, but “the opera- tors called the bluff.” Mitchell is fur- ther charged with having sent organ- izers into the local field to defeat Dolan and used money belonging to the or- ganization. The statement continues: Mitchell has always lacked courage. He is more careful of his own reputation as a e cesstul leader than he is of the interests of his people. Never in his career has he fought against the popular tide, no matter whether it was right or wrong. Two years ago, when the operators whipped him into line for a reduction, he disappeared from the convention with an attack of what he called ‘mervous prostra- tion,” and after he got out of a Turkish bath he made all the miners' leaders fight to have the delegates accept the reduction before he would do s0. * * * It has been evident for years past to everybody connected with the a common, ordinary dose of “‘big head.”” He is working all the time toward one-man power, and the truth of the matter is that he is not in touch with his own people or with the mining situation. Circumstances have made him. The tide has always been in his favor until lately, and now he does not measure up to his job. It takes something besides a Prince Albert coat and a carnation in the buttonhole to make a real labor leader. It takes common sense and courage, and the man who lacks either cught to hire somebody to tell him of his shortcom- ings and retire from his job, NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—John Mitchell wnd his associates on the anchracite miners’ subcommittee to-day finished their work of preparing propesals for an agreement and probably will meet with the coal operators’ subcommittee on Tuesday or Wednesday. ’ It is practically certain that the min- ers will take a firm demand for the cight-hour day for all men employed about the mines. One of the miners' representatives said to-day that the eight-hour question was more impor- tant to the men than any other de- mand mentioned. If at the meeting with the operators this week no agree- ment should be reached the miners would have to go back to Pennsylvania and the whole matter would be sub- mitted to a tri-district convention, that being a convention of the three big anthracite districts which control the entire coal fleld. No matter what may be the result of the conference here it will have to be ratified by the conven- tion to be called in Pennsylvania. — e Dr. McKanna's treatment for the liquer habit has no equal. 14 Geary. * CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—Twenty-one depositors of the defunct Bank of America were given checks for thelr money to-day, the bank hav- ing been open between 10 o'clock in the morn- ing_and 2 o'clock in the afterncon.

He has taken occasion to say that he cares very little for the form of the bill if the “essence” be kept. There are two or three minor points on which he thinks amendments may posst- hly be made with advantage, as for in- stance, instead of making a 30-day limit for the time when a regulation is to take effect, to make it go into effect at any time set by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Presicdent has feit that there are arguments both for and against the proposal that if a stay is granted the rallroads shall be required, pending the decision, to pay into the court the differ- ence between the rates as they exist and as they would exist if the commission’s ruling is sustained. The President has emphasized that the main point is an ap- The Hepburn bill it- seif, the President belleves, allows such an appeal and so does every other bill proposed in both Houses. The proposal coming from Senators Aldrich, Foraker and others who hold similar views looking to a complete re- trial of the case by the courts, both as to the law, and the facts, the President does not believe in. He believes, as outlined in his speech before the Iroqueis Club last May, that the appeal to the courts should be only to test whether the order of the commission is In whole or in part confiscatory, and also to test the legality of the order. — e— “Bring Them Out to California.” Bring out your folks and friends to Cali- tornia while rates are low.
