SUDDEN CHANGE OF ADVICE After Telling Government Legation Needed No More Guns. He Rec ommends More Be Shipped. China Buying Arms. WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-(SpcdaL)-If anything more were needed to show the Imminence of danger In China. It would be found In the sudden change from op timism to pessimism on the part of Ed win H. Conger, until recently United States Minister to China. Mr. Conger sees trouble ahead, and in an Interview, this week he declares his belief that it Is near at hand. He adds that a warlike show ing should be made by the foreign gov ernments to Impress China with the fact that. If foreigners are killed, there will oc sharp retaliation. Mr. Conger recently has chanced the whole trend of his thought, and that sud denly, with regard to the danger in the Orient. The War Department Is esncclal- ly Interested In what the cx-Minister has to say, and all of the officials smile a lit tle at the substance thereof. Till Lately Feared Nothing. Not long before Mr. Conger left Pokin. Inspecting officers were sent to look over tne ground with a view to determining If the American guards were strong enough to meet emergencies, and If there were enough heavy guns to defend that part or the wail which Is allotted for defense to the American forces. The American Min ister then declared that never would there be further trouble with China, and that It was unnecessary to Increase the Amer ican force or to add any guns to the bat tery. He said that the officers who be lieve the American part or the compound should be put in a belter state of defense were alarmed needlessly, and that he would not approve any requisition for strengthening the American position. The War Department always disliked to take action which did not meet the ap proval or the Minister resident, and so the .American part of the defense? was left in a condition which, as far as effect iveness was concerned, made this coun try's forcos and equipment look weak and meager by the side or those maintained by other foreign governments In Pckin. Kccommcnds Sending More Guns. Finally, Mr. Conger approved a recom mendation by the commander of the American rorce that additional shipped from the Philippine Islands, but. stated verbally that he-believed there was no necessity for the course recommended, and that occasion never would arise which would make the guns or service. It is believed In Washington that Mr. Conger, who Is now In California, and who there gave out his note or warning, must have received an Intimation from private sources or the real condition In China. Mr. Conger was In the Orient ror years! und his wife was one or the rew foreign women who were known to have influence with the Dowager Empress. FEAR NO GE.VEKAI, UPRISING llavashi and Chinese Say Boycott. Is Only Cause of Friction. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-(Special.)-A staff correspondent or the Dally News cables from London concerning the Chinese situ ation as follows: "American anxiety about the attitude of China Is attracting some attention here. I spoke on the subject today to Vlncount Hayashl, the Japanese Ambas sador, and also to the Secretary of the Chinese Legation. The rormer does not believe a general anti-foreign rising I? probable and denies the report that Great Britain, America and Japan are consult ing about Joint action. Possibly their respective Ministers at Pekln are talk ing the matter over, but certainly there has been no diplomatic reference to it here. He thinks the boycott or American goods perfectly natural and that it must produce a certain amount .of friction. Doubtless also young hotheads returning from Japanese colleges arc stirring up a national feeling, but so far the Japanese are without Information of , widespread dissatisfaction." The Secretary" or the Chinese Legation said: I do net believe there Is any cause for alarm. The outbreaks reported by the pre 1 are nothing unusual and are unat tended by serloua consequences. But this much certain, the 'boycott of American sooda will continue to cause unrest until the American Government shows signs of con ciliation. It Is unnecessary to take radical steps toward changing the methods of deal Ins with the Chinese, but It Is important to show good Intentions. Small concessions. If granted quickly, will be much more effective than far greater concessions later on. CHINA IS BUYING MUNITIONS Arming- to Let Loose Pent-Up Wrath Against Foreigners. BERKELEY. Cal.. Feb. l7.-(SpeciaL) Professor John Fteyer. head or the de partment or Oriental language of the State University, this morning announced that In perusing a copy of a Chinese news paper which had Just come to him. he learned the startling news of the prepara tions the empire is making for the con flict believed to be impending. He In formed the university students that this paper slates that the Chinese government has ordered a million small arms and 100 cannon from manufacturers In Germany, in preparation for the threatened war with foreign powers. Professor Freyer spent 30 years In China. He Is intimately acquainted with Chinese officials of high rank, and hlmseir holds the rank of mandarin of the third class. The present trouble in China, according to Proressor Freyer. is undoubtedly the most serious that the nations have had to deal with since relations with the Chinese empire began. Discussing the conditions and 'prospects of war ip the Orient. Pro fessorFreyer says: The present unrest in China Is to be re garded as the cumulative wrath of the Chi nese against alt Western Dowers: The ud- rfiing that Is threatened is not a local mat- ler. to be put down by a handful -of marines and a cruiser or two. It Is an expression of Chinese national feeling, an assertion of the Chinese regard for .the nation's dignity, affronted as it has been many times by the powers during the last decade. The boy cott may be regarded as but Incidental to the larger movement of general antipathy against ail foreigner?. The boycott has sup plied spark to kindle the general rage against the foreigners. WILL CRUSH ANT OUTBREAK Chinese 3llnlster Denies There Is Danger to Foreigners. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The Post to day says: "There is no danger what ever or an uprising in China against for elsners." said Sir Chen Tung Liang Chang, the Chinese Minister. "It is true, of course, thnt there is political agitation In China, but its object is to create in ternal complications with the view of crippling, ir not wholly destroying, the present dynasty. "My government Is amply prepared to meet any emergency. I do not mean that China Is threatened with revolution, but a small party or malcontents Is striving desperately to that end. But the move ment will not be strong or dangerous. "My, Government Is keeping me mi nutely Informed, ir a worthy foreigner Is harmed, the Emperor's soldiers will pounce upon (he community that harbors the miscreants and lay it waste, should they be unable to find the scoundrels re sponsible for the trouble. China does not want to go to war. We are a peaceable people. War Is hateful, awful, horrible hell." Ts there likelihood of a foreign war?" . "None, so long as the outside world xei.s -nina manage ner own affairs. "Is it a fact that Germany, or Germans are -mainly responsible for trouble in China at present? "The Germans are aggressive." he re plied. "Since the dawn nf vnnr iviiira tlon. the Germans have been disturbers oi tne peace and repose or other peoples within what Js now the Christian domain. I do not say that they are responsible In any sense. "I am keeping my government Informed. I have pleaded with authorities at Pekln to see that foreigners of all classes are treated unusuallv well in rhin this agitation lasts. I have learned that mj aavice is being followed all over ntna.

FIRST REAL TRANSFER Assassination, Death or Political Crisis Has Prevented Displar on Former Occasion? Fal lieres Loves Simple Life; T FRA.NCE AND GERMAN V EXCHANGE NOTES ON MOROCCO. Discuss Compromise on Police, nnd 3Iay Be Reconciled by Aid of Roosevelt. A LG ERICAS, Spain, Feb. 17. An impor tant step forward has been made In the Franco-German controversy over the ques tion oc tne control or the Moroccan police. Last night M. Revoll, the ranking French delegate, sought Herr von Radowltz, the German envoy, and delivered to him a written response to the proposition the Germans had previously submitted. Se crecy Is guaranteed upon the contents of the French document, but It Is k nntvn to be a serious effort toward conciliation. Henry White, the hmi nf thn Amer ican delegation, said in an Interview: "The communications that passed be tween France and Germany were in no sense proposals, or even notes. They were aides-memoirs, giving- with pre cision the points of view of the two countries, but may undoubtedly be con sidered an important step forward." It is understood that the French re ply contained only ten lines nnd was without heading or signature. Although little of a concrete character has re sulted from this exchange of views, there is good reason to believe it has made possible a compromise and that this Is already taking- shape along lines which Mr. White Is said to have sug gested. It was on Mr. White's proposal that the conference today exempted mer chant training- ships not engaged In trade from the formalities Imposed by the new customs regulations. The German note; which was deliv ered last Tuesday, after proposing to leave the police In the hands of the Sultan, who should choose foreign offi cers to undertake the organization of the force, suggested In vague terms that the persons to be charged with the organization. Inspection or surveil lance should be the controlling- body. The French answer agreed to leave the police to the Sultan on the condi tion that the officers charged by him with the work of organization should be French and Spanish. France will discuss subsequently the question of surveillance. If Germany will accept the principle that the officers charged with the organization of the police be French. .Mitchell for Congress. PEORIA. 111.. Feb. 17. (Special.) The Democratic Congressional commit tee or the 15th district In session here indorsed John Mitchell, the mlnewprk ers leader, for United States Congress man. They will ask Mr. Mitchell for a conference and If he will accept the nomination the campaign will begin with him as the standard bearer- His opponent will 'be" Joseph Degraff. now representing the district In Con gress. , PARIS. Feb. 17. The assumption of th office of chief executive of the French Republic, which takes place tomorrow, on this occasion is marked out from pre vious inauguration? by the fact that until M. Fallieres arrival at the Elysce, no President of the third republic has ever found his predecessor there to formallj transmit the powers conferred on him by the constitution. Either because of as sassination, sudden death or resignation of oftice. an interregnum, during which the Cabinet has exercised executive pow ers, has preceded the beginning of each new presidential term, and for one or other or these reasons the function of In stallation has been denuded of certAnony. Hoodoo on Former Inaugurations. When the first President. Thiers, re signed in May. 1S73. the country was pass ing through a very critical period of its history, and his successor. MacMahon. merely consented to accept office ao Pro visional President, and it was only in No vember of that year that he agreed, to continue for the full septennate. destined to be cut short by his resignation. Grevy's succession passed off quietly and unostentatiously, and at his re-election there was no necessity for a transmission of powers. Carnot filled the place left vacant by Grevy's practically enforced re tirement owing to the decoration scan dal. He entered the Elysee direct from Versailles The anarchist, Cacserio's das tardly deed left the country in mourn ing, ao that there was no- room in the midst of the 'national sorrow for rejoic ing at the coming of Casimir-Perler, who soon decided to give up the position, for what reason way never clearly explained. Faure followed, once more finding the Elysee vacant on his arrival. His tragic sudden death found the nation again in distress when Loubet took over the Pres idency. Will Have Impressive Ceremony. The opportunity afforded by the com pletion of his entire term by a popular President and the direct transmission of his powers by him to his successor was seized upon by the government as an oc casion for breaking away from the dull routine usually observed. -The Cabinet decided that the event should be made more significant and be used to Impress the people with the easy working of the Republican machine, even when Its chief part had to be chanzed. M. Fallieres will have plenty of oppor tunities for the display of tact In his new surroundings, for his removal from the somewhat humble official residence of the President of the Senate at the Pal ace of the Luxembourg to the Palace of the Elysee, the Parisian home of the chief of the state, places him at once in an entirely different environment. President's Four Palaces. The Palace of the Elysee cannot but influence the ideas of its occupant, with Its remarkable record of royal and im perial predecessors and its really regal embellishment and furnishing. Besides the Elysee, however, the new President has the choice of three splendid national palaces wherein to make his country home. These are Ramboulllet, favored by Loubet; Fontalnbleau. the choice of Faure, and Compiegne., occupied by the Russian Emperor and Empress during their historic visit to France, the result of which was the final arrangement of the Franco-Russian alliance. May Have to Give Up Simple Life, Much curiosity is excited as- to whether M. Fallieres will be able as President to continue to lead the same simple life a: that to which he has hitherto been ac customed. He has declared his Intention of doing so. as far as state duties wil-' permit, and during the month's Interval that has elapsed between his election and his Installation at the Elysee nothing has been changed. Every morning, without exception, no matter what the weather he has quitted the Luxembourg after a slight breakfast at about 8 o'clock anc started oft on a walk of six or seven miles through the streets of the city. This hai been his daily practice for years, and foi a man of 65 years he proceeds at a re markably brisk pace. The- detectives charged with his persona.' security since January 16 have sometime! been put to it to keep up with him, walk ing as they do at a respectful distance ir the rear. Each day he makes a slight change in his route, but generally ar ranges so that he shall pass along thf grand boulevards. It Is somewhat re markable that he Is rarely recognized. Keeps Busy All Day. Returning to his residence, M. Fallieres devotes himself to his voluminous corre spondence., already prepared for him .by his two secretaries. Luncheon at midday Is a very simple but plenteous meal. An hour's perusal of the newspapers follows. succeeded by receptions and visits lasting till dinner, at which a few Intimate politi cal and literary friends are always pres- ont, for M. Fallieres likes society, and his guests are regaled with wines from his own vineyards. He does not follow his re pasts by a cigar, for he has renounced smoking. The latter part of the evening Is spent In attending to private corre spondence until the hour for retirement, vhisii Is the comparatively early one- of-11,
