NO LOOTING DONE
Minister Conger Refutes False
and Damaging Statements.
MISSIONARIES ARE INNOCENT
Rev. Ament, of the American
Foreign Missionary Board,
Also Makes Denia'.
In reference to the accusations of
looting made against missionaries.
United States Minister Conger, who
arrived at San Francisco Wednesday
night, makes the following statement:
“The Americans have a larger num
ber of missionaries out there than any
other nation, and I am frank to say
that, nnder the circumstances, there
are very few things which the mission
aries have done, if any, for which
there need to be any apology whatever.
The stories of their looting are false,
to my knowledge.
“Believing that onr government
would not demand a monetary indem
nity for the murder and pillaging of
native Christians, I advised them that
wherever they could make settlements
with the villages where those murders
nr destruction of property had taken
place to make them on their own re
sponsibility. Li Hung Chang and
Yeu Mao suggested that settlement
could be made in this way with the
least possible friction. There was no
going out and compelling the people
to pay anything. It was altogether
voluntary on their part.
“ The missionaries have been criti
sized severely for going, immediately
after the siege was raised, into aban
doned houses for shelter for themselves
and the native coolies who were ex
pelled from their homes. As to this I
told them ‘if there is a boxer’s habita
tion abandoned, take possession of i‘,
so you can have a place in which o
shelter and take care of the ua ive
Christians.’ ”
Speaking of the siege Mr. Conger
said:
“It took every man we had to stand
by ihe women and children. If not,
the legation conld not have lived, and
without the native Christians, none of
ns would have been saved. The mis
sionaries were not the prime causes of
the trouble; they were only one of the
causes. The missionaries were not
responsible for the building of the
railroads or for any of the other for
eign innovations against which the
hatred of the boxers seemed to be di
rected. ”
MISSIONARY AMENT TALKS.
Rev. A. S. Ament, of the American
hoard of foreign missions of the Con
gregational church, whose collection
of indemnity for damages done by
boxers in China has caused consider
able discussion, takes vigorous excep
tions to the criticisms made by Mark
Twain and others as to the alleged
misconduct of the missionaries. Ho
says:
“We found ourselves at the close of
the siege with 500 native Christians
upon onr hands, no food, no clothing,
no money and every Christian house
burned.
“On the very day of the arrival of
the allied forces we were informed that
we must leave the British legation, as
it was to be used as headquarters for
the officers of the British army. I im
mediately thought of a Mongol prince,
Hsi Ling, who was an ally of the box
ers and whose place was the headquart
ers of boxers and blacklegs. We found
the prince’s placo entirely empty and
the next day we brought up onr na
tive Christians and occupied the de
serted place. In that house and in
neighboring houses that we occupied
we put more than 400 people. W’e
took only abandoned property.
“The only food in the prince’s place
was a bit of rice. We dicided to sell
the clothing and curios found upon
the premises and realized $2,500 in
gold. They were bonght by British
and American officers at a private sale
of two weeks’ duration.
“Native Christians brought up fnrs
and sable which they had purchased at
a low price from wealthy Chinese who
feared they might be looted by the
military people, and who were willing
to dispose of them for a little money.
These articles were sold at our place
to British aud other officers. I con
sidered that that was a fair, honest
speculation, which injured nobody and
which benefited many people. There
may have been some looted goods
taken, but it was without my knowl
edge. The Russian and Sikh soldiers
were selling truck very cheap, but my
people did aot do the looting.”

SHOE INDUSTRY BOOMING.
Tlie Famous Factory at Br'ickton, Mail ,
to lie FnlarK> and.
The boom in new England indus
tries continues and reports from the
factory centres tell one tale of univer
sal business activity. No line reams
to be in a more prosperous state than
the shoe industry. From Brockton
comes especially encouraging reports.
W. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity of his factory to 3,000
pairs of shoes per day.
The addition wilt be male in the
form of a wing running out from the
front of the factory, 100 feet deep,forty
feet wide ami four stories high. This
will add 10,0)0 square feet of space
for manufacturing purposes.
About $4,000 more per week will be
paid out to shoemakers, which will go
to increase the prosperity of the com
munity at. large.
When the factory starts up the first
of July it will be on an output of 500
dozen pairs of shoes per day, and the
weekly payroll,exclusive of office help,
superintendent, foremen, etc., will be
$22,000 per week to those actually en
gagaged iu making shoes.
The salesmen on the road are selling
twenty-five per cent more goods than
last season, and to take care of this
increased business the addition is made
necessary. The increased sale is the
direct result of extensive advertising,
the expenditure for which is now larg
er than at any other period,aud is to be
still further increased.

GLAD HAND IS GIVEN
Cuban Delegates Are Wined and
Dined In Washington.
DAZED AT CORDIAL RECEPTION
They Are Given a .Straight Talk
By Secretary Root Who Is
Acting For the President.
A Washington special says: The
Cnban delegation from the convention
framing a constitution for the new is
land republic saw President McKinley
twice Thursday, once in the early part
of the day, when there were introduc
tions and a formal exchange of ex
pression of friendship between the
United States and Cuba, and again at
night when the members of the dele
gation were the guests of honor at a
state dinner at the white home.
The real business which brought the
delegation to Washington was trans
acted with Secretary Root at the war
department, the president in the fore
noon in an interview at the white
house saying to the delegates that he
would confer with the secretary who
would act as his representative in con
ferences of the Cuban situation. The
delegation and Secretary Root were
closeted for some hours in the after
noon iu a discussion of the relations
of the island to the United States.
Secrecy was observed, the statement
being made that after results were
reached some news might be made
public.
Matters of importance were not
touched in the interview between the
president and the delegation, the con
versation being almost wholly formal.
Senor Capote, in his address to the
president, spoke of the desire of the
Cubans to have the closest possible
relations with the United States. He
said that United States soldiers aud
Cubans had fought side by side and
driven Spain from tle island, and
the ties between the two countries
were bound in blood. The relation
ship, therefore, between the countries,
always should be most amicable and
closer than that which usually exists
between nations,. He also spoke of
the gratitude which Cuba felt to the
United States for the assistance ren
dered in her liberation.
In response the president expressed
his pleasure at meeting the delegation
and desired through them to extend
his kindest wishes to the people of the
island.
Those present at the conference in
Secretary Root’s office were the five
Cuban delegates, their interpreter,
Secretary Root, General Wood, Assist
ant Secretary of War Sanger, Senor
Gonzelles, General Wood’s secretary,
who acted as interpreter a great por
tion of the time. When the meeting
adjourned no official statement was
made as to the proceedings.
It was made plain to the Cubans by
Secretary Root that no modification of
the Piatt amendmeut could be made
by the executive department of the
government and the Cubans them
selves understand that there is little
possibility of congressional action in
that direction, so the conference was
devoted largely to the construction
which could be placed upon the
amendmeut.
The delegation made no complaint
of the present military government
under General Wood. After the con
ference adjourned the Cubans called
on General Wood at the Richmond.
The members of the constitutional
commission were entertained at a state
dinner given in their honor by the
president at the white house in the
evening. Covers were laid for forty
seven. The guests included the pres
ident and members of his cabinet (ex
cept the secretary of the navy), the
secretary to the president, Dr. Capote,
president of the Cuban constitutional
itonvention; Dr. Tamhyo, secretary of
Hate and government; Justice Llor
ente, associate justice supreme
court of Cuba; Governor Betan
court, civil governor province
of Mantanzas; General Portuondo,
fiscal of the audeneia of Santiago de
Cuba; General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor Alien, Justice Harlan, Justice
White, Senator Platt of Connecticut;
Senators Morgan, Foraker, Hanna,
Lodge. Depew, Cockrell, Daniel,Fair
banks, Burrows, Wetmore, Millard,
Dietrich, Representatives Grosvenor,

of war, Hon. Win. E. Chandler, Lieu
tenant General Miles, General Corbin,
Colonel S. B. M. Young, Colonel
Bingham,Lieutenant Colonel Edwards,
Admiral Bradford, Mr. Enteuza and
Mr Gonzalez.
The guests remained at the white
house for several hours, it being after
11 o’clock before the last of them had
departed. The Cubans were delight
ed with the attention shown them and
with the cordiality with which their
views on the questions of moment to
them were received.

Ham J. Bryan says, in effect, that h e
has no intention of seeking a third
nomination for the presidency. Mr
Bryan’s announcement is an answer to
an article in an eastern paper specula

Mr. Bryan said:

Ki<lnper.
In the trial at Omaha Thursday of
James Callahan on the charge of con
nection with the kidnaping of Edward
Cudahy, Jr., December 18, 1900, the
victim took the stand and absolutely
identified Callahan as the “dark man’’
in the case. After telling of his con
finement minutely, young Cudahy was
addressed by attorney Cowan as fol
lows:
“You may state whether the dark
man who put. a pistol to your head aud
made you a prisoner, and who guard
ed you most of the time in the house,
aud who walked down the stree.t with
you, and bade you goodby, when you
were released, was one and the same
person.”
“It was the Rarne man.”
“Who was that mau?”
“Jim Callahan.”
“The defendant here in this case?"
“Yes, sir.”
From this point on Callahan was
referred to by name and no longer Yiy
the name “dark man.”
Callahan betrayed no emo'ion when
the boy said lie was one of Ihe abduct
ors, but a cynical smile played faintly
over his features.
