Tcbeng the Chinese minister to Ger-
many In the course of n Interview
with the Tageblatt'a correspondent on
the disquieting rumors Irom China
aid that China needed reform In her
head and limb Europe be aldhad
been surprised that Japan had be-
come greater than China whose sol-
diers and especially those In the
northern part of the empire compare
physically with the Prussian guards
Money for army and navy expenses
he said should not be considered as
the population of 400 million could
easily contribute a million where vi-
tal Interests were touched China
the minister continued strongly
wishes for commercial dealings with
foreign countries but prefers those
without Chinese colonies The mis-
sionaries he added cause hatred ot
foreigners by their tactless proeley-
ting and the lighting between protest-
ants and Catholic
The minister was asked If tne
navy and army reinforcements which
the United States Is sending to the
Philippines In the expectation of diffi-
culties with China might rouse the
Chinese dragon He replied
"If the American government sends
reinforcements who can say it fears
difficulties with China? It is all non-
sense I believe the armaments are
directed against somebody else I

Pekin — The trend of exenta In
China since the powers assented to
Emperor William’s proposal to with-
draw the troops from that count'T
has induced them to reconsider the
matter With all the go ernments
except Germany having forces In
north China their withdrawal Is now
an open question Their decision will
depend upon the developments of the
next few months The foreign resi-
dents In China strongly oppose the
withdrawal of the troops
N xhe proposals of the Chinese in
the negotiations with Russia include
fixing a date for the withdrawal of
the railway guards the exeat atlon of
Harbin the relinquishment of certain
lands and mines in Manchuria which
the Chinese claim that Russia ap-
propriated and the re payment w ith
interest of five million taels which
China contributed toward the organl-
zation of the Ruaso-Chtnese bank
through the Influence of the late U
Hung Chan and which she has since

ton don Feb 1— The 8tatlat deals
this week with the Algeclras confer-
ence In a long leader The article
predicts a failure to reach a con-
clusion satlsfictory to France and
consequently continued uneasiness In
the commercial world while at the
same time the writer believes that
war will no result The point of the
Statist’s conclusions is that President
Roosevelt alone can save the situa-
tion “Just as he alone was able to
bring about peace between Rusala and
Japan’
The Stitlst after dealing with the
crux of the situation namely the po-
licing of Morooeo upholds Franco’s
right to demand that she be given
power to maintain order and to main-
tain a police force The paper does
not believe from present Indications
that Germany will yield the point that
country preferring to humiliate
France with the result of tying up for
an indefinite period the Immense sums
of money now held Inactive In France
"The small powers” aaya the arti-
cle "are afraid to meddle between
Germany and France and England
cannot do anything that will b con-
trary either to the spirit or the letter
of the Anglo-French agreement
"Russia has too much to do at
home and Austria-Hungary la too
much distracted There remains then
only the United States if the United
States is willing to undertake the po-
licing of Morocco everybody will hall
with Joy her readiness to assume an
unpleasant responsibility for the sake
of preserving the peace of the world
Nobody would attempt to dictate to
the United States yet everybody
knows that the United States is Im-
partial and by undertaking the polic-
ing would not entangle herBelf In
treaties would not Incur any danger
and would not Impose upon herself
any gratuitous expense In turn she
would sweep away the danger of war
between two great European nations
—a' war which If It broke out would
in all probability spread and ultimate
ly become world wide We trust thal
for the sake of maintaining th
world a Deace the United States will In
this case willingly depart from It
Bettled policy’’

STORMY IN PENNSYLVANIA
Brussels Feb 12 — Prof Fellclan
fattier of tho free university of Brus-
sels has published a pamphlet on the
situation In the Congo Free State
which contains several hitherto un-
published documents showing that the
crown domain which practically la
King Leopold’s personal property
consists of 289875 square kilometers
of an area of 8 1-2 times the size of
England bringing him proflu on In-
dia rubber alone of 815147000 during
the last ten years Prof Cattler re-
calls the fact that Premier Smet Do
Nayer declared In the chamber of
deputies In 1903 that the proflU of the
crown domain would be exclusively
applied to the creation of eeUblish-
ment of material moral and intel-
lectual utility: whereas the official
documents adduced show that the
profits have been need for the acqui-
sition of rehl estate In Brussels and
Ostend alone to the value of $3655000
as well a property In many other
town In Belgium The author forsees
as a result of all this that grave diffi-
culties will arise when the succession
to the throne of Belgium and the Con-
go Free State comes ur
The revelations of Prof Cattler
have caused a great sensation The
socialist leader Vandervelde will In-
terpellate the ministry in the chamber
of deputies on Tuesday with refer
ence to the matter
London— The Standard draws atten-
tion to the alleged revelations con-
Uined In a book on the Congo Free
State published at Paris and Brus-
sels by Prof Cattler Indicating that
during the past decade King Leopold
has drawn an amount estimated at
$15000000 from the rubber trade In
the Congo domain there being no
trace of this In published accounts of
the Congo administration
The newspaper says:
“If It can be verified that such na
Income was drawn while It has been
represented that doubtful expedients
were employed in the Congo In order
to avoid the carrying on of business
at a loss the conscience of Europe
will be stirred to Its depths”
