This might lead to its adoption by V.vii' Yii. wife of the minister, but of tha: I 1 1 1 1 speuk with any certainty. As to our it is a mistaken idrn that our rult vegetarians, as they are called, are simply a stricter set ot the Buddhists. They aro comparatively secret In their gatherings; that is to say.

ordinary people are not permitted to Join them. They often meet together in set ret outside the walls bf. Ku Cheng, for Instruction, an.l these meetings furnish a convenient instrument for rebellion, their Idea being to ovt rthrow the government and seize the opportunity of the turmoil for purposes of plunder. They have among them the fiercer, ninre determined and more unscrupulous class of Chinamen." The reporter asked Mr. Wooden what he thought was the real cause of the rising against the missionaries.

"My idea is." he replied, "that It was altogether for revenge. The viceroy of Foo Chow had sent up to Ku Cheng soldiers to stop the depredations of the vegetarians against the rich people of the district. The vegetarians got it Into their heads that the soldiers had been brought to Ku Cheng at the instigation of the missionaries and so, according to my Idea, they got together and determined to kill the missionaries. It Is very probable that the coming of the soldiers was the cause of the killing of the missionaries." As Ku Cheng is an inland city it could not be approached by boats, although it is fairly navigable to within thirty miles of its walls. "Most missionaries." observ, Mr.

Wooden, "felt that the United States government was not efficient in protecting them. The English hurry up matters much more than we do because if their demands for redress are not complied with they threaten to fight right off. The Americans have never really used force In that region and on that account they are more popular among the people. The traffic In opium, too, is always thrown in the face of England. You know, by treaty, American ships are not permitted to carry opium.

And then the suavlter in modo Is true even In missionary matters in our favor. American missionaries, at least, think that among themselves." Missions had been established in and around Foo Chow for ten or twelve years before there was any trouble with the natives. In 1864 there was an uprising and they toro down one of the chapels and two or three churches, but none of the mlssonarles was MBS. STEWAHT, Mission House at THE nEV. 1U TV.

S. T. "Wooden Is of the Opinion That the Vegetarians Committed the Outrage for Hevenge, Believing That the Christians Had Instigated the Authorities to Send Soldiers Against Them. The Rev. S.

F. Wooden has been a missionary In China for thirty six years, under the American board. He ia at home Just now, with his wife, on a prolonged holiday. Coming, as they do, almost from the spot where the horrible butchery of Christian missionaries occurred at the beginning of the month, a story of their experiences at this time Is of unusual interest. Mrs.

Wooden Is an aunt of Frank Bailey, vice president of the Title Guarantee and Trust company of this city. The missionary was spending part of hlB holiday with his son, the Rev. H. P. Wooden, acting pastor of the Presbyterian church In Armenia.

It was in the pretty little parsonage attached to the church that the reporter had his Interview. "Yes." said Mr. Wooden, "I have been a missionary in China for thirty six years, and have had charge, all that time, of the district of Yung Fuh, sometimes called Ing Hok, which Is distant from Foo Chow thirty five miles. Foo Chow, again. Is ninety miles, lu MISS OOETJOS, Speared and killed.

a direct line, from the scene of the butcheries, but in a country of such infinite distances as China ninety miles counts for very little, although traveling in the interior is very difficult and tedious." Mr. Wooden has had bis wife ith him In China tor many years. It was in that belated country that their children were born, although they have been in America for the last ten years. The missionary told of the nature of his work among the Chinese, first of all incidentally observing that under the American board missionaries are allowed a vacation once in every ten years. "Around Foo Chow," he said, "there has been a great deal of success among the Chinese.

There are three large missionary societies. One is the Church of England mission, another is the Methodist Episcopal and the third the American board. The American board has been working Foo Ohcw since 1847, and were, indeed, the first on the ground. There are, beside those I have mentioned, two societies composed almost entirely of women." "How do the Chinese receive the work of the missionaries?" asked the reporter. "There is a very friendly feeling amons; the Chinese around Foo Chow, and the friendliness toward the missionaries has been creaslng every year, the last few years particularly.

This Is true of all the missions in the district I have Indicated." Then Mr. Wooden talked about the veg3 tarians, the plundering, rapacious Chinamen Tvho murdered the missionaries. Ho said that as far back as a year ago these vegetarians were making trouble among their own people. It was not at all a case of fanaticism, nor was it any particular cause of opposition to the missionaries or the gospel that they preached that urged them to a rising. They were looters, thieves by instinct and often by profession, and a feeling of revenge had also something to do with their depredations.

Mr. Wooden believes, indeed, that it was revenge alone that Inspired the rising of a few weeks ago and led to the brutal murder of the missionaries. The missionary proceeded: "Ku Cheng, the scene of the massacres, is an Interior walled city, and the magistrate is a county magistrate. Ku Cheng Is the name of a city and a district which covers perhaps as much territory as Dutchess county. The city Itself has perhaps a population of 40,000.

The people are ruder and less civilized than the Chinese at Foo Chow, for the reason that they have not the same opportunity of mingling with foreigners. "The vegetarians lived beyond the walls of Ku Cheng, and a year ago when I was working at Yung Fuh they had trouble with their own people. Two of the ringleaders were arrested and beaten on the spot. As a result of this beating there was a great outcry among the vegetarians because the men were literary men. graduates of the first degree wo would call them bachelors of art and, under Chinese law the literary mec could be punished, but not by beating them.

"The next day the vegetarians came in a body to the yamun or official residence of the offending magistrate and declared: 'We have come to give the magistrate a flogging and if he will not be flogged we will tear his house down. The magistrate temporized for a while, but the vegetarians were obdurate. A Hogging must be met by a flogging. Finally a younger brother of the magistrate offered to take the flogging and he was accepted as a substitute. The brother was taken out and flogged In front of the house with long pieces of bamboo cane.

He received 100 heavy blows. In spite of the substitute the magistrate lost his Influence and authority and had to leave the district." The story goes that on the deposition of the magistrate there arose a man among them who thought he would be emperor. This was in the fall. He set up a court, and in the summer the missionaries, with their women and children, were obliged to leave, and Ku Cheng itself was threatened by tie insurgent vegetarians. The reign of this self made emperor was a3 short as it was inglorious.

It lasted, indeed, but a day and a half, and the missionaries had not been able to reach Foo Chow before they received information that they could return to Ku Cheng In safety, which they did. Nobody ever knew what became of the emperor. It is supposed that he ran away. All this occurred only ten months ago, and the incident supplies some idea of the character of the vegetarians and their regard for law and order. Hwasang, said Mr.

Wooden, is the name of the pla.ee In the Ku Cheng district, where tho missionaries were actually murdered. It Is a little mountain hamlet not far from the city. The missionaries had not established themselves tlrere. but it was a favorite re sort in tho scorching heat of tnc summer. The people of Hwasang themselves, Mr.

wooden says, are friendly to the mission aries, but were powerless to give thom any assistance against the organized and superior force of the vegetarians, while tbe mission aries were in their little mountain retreat tho vegetarians organized. A nat ivo pastor in Ku Cheng hoard of their threats and wrote a letter of warning to the missionaries at Hwasang. He delayed sending it till tno next morning, however, and by that time, 9 o'clock on the morning of August 1. the butchery had been completed. None of the missionaries of the American board were killed, although Miss Mabel C.

Hartford, a young missionary for the American Methodist Episcopal society, was assaulted and consider oblv ill treated. Mr. Wooden knew the R. V. Stewart and his wife, both of whom were killed.

They came from the north of Ireland, and Mr. Wooden says they were both splendid people. Mr. Stewart and his wife were killed on the spot, and tueir boys, aged 6 and 3. died a day or two afterward from the injuries they received at the hands of the vegetarians.

(Special to the Eagle.) Washington.

D. C. August 17 Just now, when there has been so much exi. ltem.ent about the massacre of Christian missionaries in China. It seems strange that no communication in retard to these disturbances has been received at the legation in this city.

But when a call.ir went to the big stone mansion on the breezy top of the hill that overlooks the capital, the minister was at home but closeted with two of his secretaries, and could see no one, not even if a letter came, as the servant expressed it, from the state department. The home of the legation In this city occupies the whole of a block large brown stone houses, which are very handsome and fitted up with even' modern luxury. The interior is of light wood, arches dividing the rooms from caub other, and the heavy winter portiers being dispensed with, the view of STEWAHT, House at Whasang. MIH CO OR I Nt!

But when wo see Celestial servants in flowing robes of TAKO Vf, Chinese minister the of the legation. gaily colored silk sitting about in the rooms, tiny babes in highiy decora tod gowns toddling around, followed by Chinawomen with feet like those of Yum Yum in the "Mikado," It strikes us as a peculiar sight as if a tlny bit of the Celestial empire had been transplanted from the east into the rush and glare of western civilization. In response to a call, one of the interpreters came down, gliding softly Into tho room In his padded shoes like some spirit in his noiseless walk. He was neatly dressed in silken robes of pale blue, and his face was ono of Intelligence, while his command of English seemed most forcible. In answer to a question he replied that nothing had been heard from China about the murder of the missionaries.

"It is likely." he continued, "that tho matter will be settled In China and that tho minister in this country will not have any thing at present to do with the matter. We have comunii atlon with the home government by means of cable, but no message has come, and all we know of the affairs is through the press. It is not likely that anyone but a mob of ignorant people committed the act, for certainly the emperor, who a young man of about L'o. wishes the missionaries to be acconl perfect freedom. And the matter will be thoroughly searched into by the home government and the guilty ones punished.

"In regard to the progress of modern American ideas in China. I would say that 1 llraw James O. 2 I Youris; Walker iii.ui;. Ir.t v. 's I Mrs.

i there Is a growth of more freedom that lias begun, and which may likely develop into widening of the old restrictions which have been held by our people humln Is I of years. The minister from America is presented to the emperor, but that is a recent inn ovation. Just how much terirination of the ear will have on the ii. lng of China to the iueas of countries I cannot say. Li Hung Chang is a progreo sivo man and one of flue ability.

There Is in China an element, made up largely of younger men, which I might denominate as ithe party of progn s. while th rc is another political party which might be called the i conservative. "I lie not think the victory of the Japanese was due to superior lir arms, but to the fact that, we are not a warlike people, and prefer 1 th peaceful arts to tbo. of conflict. Tho vegetarians, who are reported to be the oif' mlers in the rec.ut are a very larii" eet in China, and subsist entirely on vegetables, abstain ir even the of an egg.

"A statement appeare! la. winter which purported to be an interview with th wife of the minister, in which she is re ported to have said that had made but little progress amongst higher officials, and some American lai'y contradicted the statement." remarked the visit. "Do you know if the assertion of Madame Yang was correct? I wish you lid kindly ask the minister." The interpreter disappeared, and after a short while came In apologizing for his absence. In fact, it noticeable that all members of the legation havo the most elegant manners, and that none of the diplomats from the courts of the old world i I nHI rtlillHr He May Har to Conform to Crow 11 Cus AB.DE 17 EAYE3 13 PZP.PXr.3:D.

Crow Hill, where but a very limited number of visitors are admitted to his presence. The truth is this: Chung Is a guest of Uncle Sam. and expects to spend nearly four years In Warden Hayes' hostelry before going home again. Ho arrived Thursday morning, along with seven other government prisoners from far away El Paso, Tex. One of his fellow travelers was the noted revolutionist and filibuster, Victor Ochoa, whose hostile Irruption into Mexico last year has landed him in a United States prison for two and a half years.

United States Marshal A. C. Ware, who brought them on from Texas with the assistance of four deputies, surprised Warden Hayes by his arrival with such a string of prisoners. The only Intimation the latter had of his coming was a newspaper paragraph. He had plenty of room for his eight new charges, however, and they are now as quietly settled as if they had been lnmatt for years.

Ordinarily tho first thing that happetfJ a prisoner's life when he reaches he lrS ltentiary is the clipping of bis hoi? Ve'11' After rhat a bath and a nice, new fashionable striped clothes are glv; He is then through all the formalit tH; Initiation into prison life. This was yesterday with Marshal Ware's squad of until John Chinaman's, that is to say. Lee's turn at the tmrber chair came. Chuig''. Is the second Celestial ever received in tlC" Kings county penitentiary, and the first wl; a pigtail.

His predecessor had lost bis queue somewhere and so avoided all embarrassment. Chung's pigtail harassed Warden Hayes. Clearly it ought to be cut off. The rules said that. But.

on the contrary, Mr. Hayes had heard that a pigtail to a Celestial was essential to the spiritual life. No Chinaman, whose queue Is misslngshall enter the oriental heaven. Nor can such an unfortunate even return to the Flowery Kingdom In his earthly state, for the loss of the queue means the, lose of caste. Pondering these things Warden Hayes ordered the barber to leave Chung's head unscathed for time, and the unhappy Celestial wiped his we ing eyes when the news was Imparted to The felt that the matter must be officially determined, for he had no precedent' to go by.

It was then that the happy thought flashed In his troubb'i! mind to borrow a precedent from Homebody else, the warden of Erie county penitentiary, for instance. Many Chinese trying to smuggle themselves or their opium through Niagara have fallen into the toils there. A letter has been sent and Chung's pig tail hangB on In suspense until an answer comes. The reply Is looked for to morrow and on It hangs all of Chung's hopes of happiness or despair. It is said in New York that no such consideration of mercy for poor unfortunate pig tails obtain.

Over Ihere every chink. th name affectionately bestowed on all Mongolians by the members of New York's finest, loses his pig tall as soon as he Ts convicted. Even if he is sent up to the island only for' a few days, off it goes and it is no uncommon sight to see one of the stolid, almond eyed antlpcxleans burst Into bitter tears and lamentations upon the pronouncing of a polic court sentence. An Eagle reporter went out to Crow hill to see Chung, but the wily Oriental refused to talk. He is still shaking for fear of losinor his pig tail, and that Is the only emotion shows.

He Is in years old and has been in the United Siat. since ISM. Marshal Ware, who brought him on. said: "The trout le with this chink Is this: had his commercial instincts keenly sharpened. He was a ilc'ili In residence certificates, and came to grief.

Chung had a certificate of his own. which he copied, inserting in it a new name. There is a ready sale for these and sometimes as much aa $100 is gotten for one. Chung 1 thin game and got caught." Chung does not speak much Enelish. a.

(Wexford, papers please copy.) subjected to any ill treatment. On that occasion, as In the recent outrages, the rising was due to the vile stories circulated by the literary men. As everybody knows the staple diet of the Cbinamar is rice, although in the country hill regons it Is varied by a sort of sweet potato. The missionaries are able, in most places, to get good food, including flesh and Ash.

"With the natives." said the mlsisonary. "a great prejudice exists against killing anything. I doubt if you would get them to kill a mosquito." added the missionary, with a laugh. "Around Foo Chow, however, the Chinese are beginning to learn to eat meat, chiefly through the introduction of Christianity and the spread of civilization." Foo Chow has a population of GOO. 000 and, through the efforts of the missionaries 8.000 or 9.000 of these have been converted to the Christian religion and are communicants in one or another of the Christian churches.

Three or four thousand communicants are also to be found in Formosa. According to Mr. Wooden the heartiest harmony exists between the different societies and the missionaries by whom they are represented. If one society Is first in the field no one interferes with it. Their main idea Is to Christianize all China and Mr.

Wooden speaks hopefully ot that being accomplished. "I expect," he said, "that China will be a Christian nation in time with the progress that has been going on within the last twenty years. There are missionaries now In seventeen of the nineteen provinces of China. "And there is another thing." the missionary proceeded. "Over and over again where the salient histories of Christendom have been pointed out to them and the story told of their different governments I have found that the Chinese would Jump at the chance of becoming American citizens, exclaiming when told of our American institutions: 'That's the best way!" Mr.

Wooden says that the women who were killed In the massacre had been mostly in the habit of dressing in Chinese costume with the view of conciliating the natives. In Foo Chow, however, where the foreign trade dominates the town, the missionaries think it expedient to wear, their own dress, and neither Mr. Wooden nor his wife has ever donned any other. A little chat abrut the war followed. Mr.

Wooden left Shanghai on his long holiday on May 4, and sailed from Yokohama on the 10th. The final treaty of peace between China and Japan was signed on the 8th. "The Chinese," observed Mr. Wooden, "despised the Japs as dwarfs. They were tremendously slow in being woke up, but they have awakened, I think, at last.

They have a wonderful amount of native ability. The trouble with them was that thoy had so much pride In themselves they did not believe they could learn anything from modern civilization, and would not admit It. The general feeling was that the foreign element and the foreign material could be kicked out of China and nobody bo any the worse for it. The Chinese, as a rule, blindly follow the lead of the literary men. and these In turn are mostly followers of Confucius.

"There is a singular lack nf patriotism among the Chinese," the missionary concluded. "As long as the war did not affect them personally they were not stirred up a bit. They got all their news tho war from the missionaries, and they did not appear to rare till they heard that the Japs were on the way to Formosa. Since I left the taking of Formosa has occurred and, as you are probably aware, there is a good deal of travel between Foo Chow and Formosa. Foo Chow has not shown itself disturbed all at by the war.

"No. the massacre did not arise out of troubles resulting from the war. because as I have told you the people at Foo Chow were not disturbed by it. because it did not affect thern." Mr. Wooden and his wife will return to China next year to resume their work among the Chinese.
