Trouble In China.
WASHINGTON, March 15. The ca
blegram from the American Associa
tion has been received at the State
Department. It has not yet been acted
upon, but 1 under serious considera
tion. At first reading it is not clear
Just what connection exists between
the attitude or the Chinese Empre33
Dowager toward the reform element in
China and the "open door" policy, in
which the United States, with the re
mainder of the civilized world, la In
terested. It Is recalled, however, that
the Enipres3 Dowager la persecuting
with reientlesa hatred the reform par
ty, going so far as to resort to the bar
barous practice of offering a large sum
cf money for the assassination of lead
ing reformers. Thl3 reform element in
China Is believed to Include neariy all
of the Chinese who are disposed to ele
vate China into a civilized nation, fol
lowing In the footsteps of Japan. They
realize that this can only be done with
the help of foreigners, and are there
fore disposed to the "open door" as one
of the measures to liberalize and en
lighten China through the Introduction
cf foreign capital and foreign methods.
It 13 assumed that the basis of this
representation from the American As-
sedation is aa apprenension mat tne
Conservative party surrounding the
Empress Dowager, in satisfying their
animosity against the reformers, will
excite the dormant anti-foreign feelng
among the masses of Chinese to a de
gree that will make the "open door"
impossible of attainment.
It is a curlo u fact that our Minister
to China, Mr. Conger, has so far made
no representations to the State Depart
ment touching this subject. He haa
reported to the Department that seri
ous attacks have been made upon the
American missions In Shantung by the
"Boxers." a powerful and numerous
anti-foreign league of Chinese. It is
thl same organization which has at
tacked some of the French missionar
ies In that quarter of China and has
even carried operations to the very
doors of Kiaochau, the German hold
ing la North China. Upon the Minis
ter's representation the State Depart
ment has decided that an American
warship shall be dispatched from the
fleet at Manila to the nearest conve
nient port to the seat of discord, prob
ably In this case Taku. at the mouth
of the Pelho river, or Wel-Hai-Wel. It
Is expected, however, that the Chinese
Government will be able to repress
th "Boxers" without any action on the
part of the American warship.
It 1 distinctly understood that this
little naval demonstration will have no
connection with the struggle now go
ing on between the Empress Dowager's
party and the reformers, for this may
be regarded aa a matter of purely In
ternal policy, with which our Govern
ment has no right to concern itself. It
is probable therefore that this decision
oa our part Indicates the character of
Ji
the responbe that will be made by thej
Ierartm-nt of State to the cablegram
frura the Amrl-aa Association.
American Gunboat for Tku.
WASHINGTON. Mann 15. Ostens-j
.My on aciotiat of the diatar.'V! condi-;
tiur.s prevailing :a the prov?'e of
fchatuiiQS. Secretary I-ocg t-r.t an in- j
Krudioa to Rear Adm.ral Watson this,
atieri.ooj directing him to ortler a vei- j
sel of LI c ornmand to Taku, to give j
protection to Americans, ially to j
Ani-r:aa mi.rsioL.arie-'. Administra-j
ttoa ofucials say that the order ha no1
retere-cte to information received from j
tae American Association of Sanhai ;
as to tae hostile attitude of tne Empress
Dowager to the "open door" pol.cy.
They point out that If a naval demon
stration were Intended a squadron
would be ordered to Taku Instead of
one ship. They pooh-pooh the Ilea that
the Empress Dowager ha been in
fluenced by a foreign na..on, presum
ably Russia, to take the attitude stated
by the association.
Secretary Hay has In his possession
final replies of all Governments of Eu
rope to his "open door" representa
tions, and the President has under con
sideratlon the question whether or cot
to transmit them to Congress In a spe
cial message. Consequently a hostile
attitude on the part of th Empress
Dowager on the "open door" question
could not be displayed toward the
l nited States alone, but It necessarily
would have to be extended to all other
nations parties to the agreement.
At the Chinese Legation no credence
! placed in the report about such hos
tility. The Chinese Minister ha long
l n outspoken In favor of nego
tiations.
The trouble in the province of Shan
tung, according to reports received
from Minister Conger which have been
transmitted to the Navy Department
and cabled to Admiral Watson, arises
out of operations of the "Boxers." a
ppcret Chinese soc'e?y wh'ch I endeav
oring to drive foreigners out of China.
These "Boxers" have been actively op
erating slnc last fall. Protest after
protest has been filed by foreign minis
ters at Peking against the suplneness
of t4.e Chinese Government In permit
ting them to continue their assaults up
on foreign missionaries and their con
verts and property. Thee protests
have been unavailing. It would not be
mrprislng If all of the nations having
niis' lonarles In China should deem it
advisable to send raen-of-war to Im
press upon the Chinese Government the
necessity of protecting foreigners.
Duty of Great Britain.
LONDON. March 17. The Shanghai
correspondent of the Time says: "Con
currently wuh the representations of
the American Association to Washing
ion against the anti-forei;n policy of
the Empress Dowagerl the China Asso
ciation has buggested to the British
Minister, Sir Claude Macdonald, that a
remonstrance against the action of the
Chinese Government would be consis
tent with her policy. The present ac
lion of the diplomatic body In Peking
appears to Indicate acquiescence in the
reactionary policy of the Empress
Dowager."
BERLIN, March 16. Referring to the
"K ks on American mi-sonailes In
Chfna and to the orders issued by the
United States to Admiral Watson to
'id a warshin to Taku to lonk a'ter
the Interest of the misslotarles, a high
official of the German Foreign Office
said this evening: "Germany does not
r..m authority over the ent're Shan
tung peninsula and the United States
Government has a perfect right to send
t ship there for the protect.on of Amer
ican citizens."
Wailuku Water Works.
It Is hard to believe that the delay
la the construction of the Wailuku wa
terworks has purposely been permitted
until the time In which the work could
be paid for has elapsed. But If the
delay should militate against the
prompt completion of the work now be
gnn. elaborate explanation will be in
order. Maul News.
