MORE FROM AMENT. CHICAGO. May 2. Dr. William S. Ament. the noted missionary who re cently arrived In Sin Francisco from the Orient, reached this city last night. Upon his arrival he was met by his wife, who had not seen him In three years. This morning they will leave for Owosso, Michigan, where Dr. Ament will meet his aged father and mother. Here he will prepare his report, which will be presented to the Congregational mission board In Boston. Speaking of the one-third Indemnity collected above the aetuil damages sus tained by natives during the siege, Dr. Ament had this to say: "Let It be understood that the clan Is the unit of Chinese society, not the Individual. The clan Is responsible for the actions of Its members. If one member Is promoted it works to the advantage of the whole community. In the various clans were people who hnd no property. They had to be cared for and It wis for their support that the extra one-third was assessed. This Is one of the principles of Chinese so ciety that is to be commended. In this connection let me say that It Is the policy of the missionaries to conserve everything In Chinese society that is conducive to good morals." Dr. Anient said that the tales con cerning barbarous practices of the for elgn soldiers had been magnified. He added that while he could not approve of some of the things which had been done by the soldiers .many errors com mitted by the native sokllers and the Boxers had been shifted on to the for eign soldiery. Dr. Ament also said that the mission aries toad left more friends In China than ever before and that the outlook for the future Is most promising.. FOUR CHILDREN MISSING.
