Amcnt who was Accused of Lootln? Makes a Defence of His Conduct Durintr the Sieee. San Fuancisco April 20. In reforonco to the accusations of looting made against missionaries, United States Minister Conger, who (arrived hero last night, makes )ho following statement: "The Americans have a larger num. ber of missionaries out tliero than any other nation and I am frank to say that undor tho circumstances thoro aro very few things which tho missionaries havodono, if any, for which there need bo no appolegy whatovor. THE STORIES OF TUEtlt LOOTING ARE FALSE, TO MY KNOWLEDGE. "Belioving that our government would not domand a monetary indomnlty for tho murder and pillaging of nativo Christians, I advised them thnt wherever thoy could inako a settlement themselves with tho villages whero theso murders or destruction of property had taken placo to mnko them on thoro own responsibility. Li HungChangand Chang Yen Mao suggested that settle ments might bo mado in tills way with tho least posslblo friction. Thoro was no going out and compelling tho people to pay anything. It was altogether voluntary on their part. "Tbo missionaries havo boon criticized vory severely for goiug, immediately af ter the Beige wan raised into abandoned houses for shelter for thomsolvos and tho native Christians who had been ox polled from their homos. I said: if thoro is a Boxor's habitation abandoned, tako possession of it bo you can liavo a placo In which to shelter and take earn of thomttvo Christians." Speaking of the solgo, Mr. Congor said: "It took every whlto man wo had to stand by tho guns. Without the mis sionaries tho logation would not havo boon saved and without tho nattvo Christians nono of ua would havo been saved. THE MISSIONARIES WERE NOT THE PRIME CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE; THEY WERE ONLY ONE OF THE CAUSES. Tho missionaries woro not responsible for tho building of the rail roads or for any of tho othar foreign in novation, against which tho hatred of tho Boxers seemed to bo directed." Ttov. W. 8. Amcnt of tho American Board of Foreign Missions of tho Con gregational church, whoio collection of indemnity for damages dono by Boxers in China has caused considerable dle cussiou, takes vigorous, exception to the criticisms mado by Mark Tualn and others ns to tho alleged; misconduct of tho mission arios. Ho says: "Wo found ourselves at tho close of the siego with 600 nativo Christians upon our hands, no food, no clothing, no monoy and ovory Christian hou bo burned. "On tho vory day ot tlio nt rival of tho allied forces wo woro informed that w must levao tho British logation as it was to be used as headquarters for tho otll cors of tho British army. I immediately thought of a Mongol Prince, Hai Ling, who was an ally of tho Boxers and whoso placo was tho headquarters of tho Boxors and blacklegs. Wo found tho Prince's placo entirely empty nntt tho next day we brought up our Native Christians and occupied tho dosertcd placo. In that house and its neighbor ing houses thnt we occupied, wo put moro than 400. people. Wo took only abandoned property. "Tho only food in tho Princo'a placo wos a bit of rico. Wo decided to sell tho clothing and curios found on tho promises and ronlizod 25,000 in gold. Thoy wero bought by Britisli and American oillcers at a prlva to boIo of two weeks duration. Native Christians bpought up furs and Babies which thov had purchased at a 1 ow prico from wealthy Chinese who foared thoy might bo looted by tbo mili tary people nnd who woro nuxtouB to dispose of them for a littlo monoy. Theso nt tides wore sold at our placo to Britisli aud other ofllcers. I conBidored that thnt wos a FAIR, HONEST SPECULA HON WHICH INJURED NOBODY nnd thnt bcnolltted many people "THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME LOOT GOODS TAKEN, BUT IT WAS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. Tho Russian and Silkh soldlors woro Belling off truck vory cheap, but my peoplo did not do tho looting."

Nodeflnile decision lias boon reached by tho Foreign Olllco regarding the probable attitude of tho United States Senate toward tho pro jected Nicaragua Canal treaty. Negotia tions proceeding on tho subject of tho liny-Pauncefoto treaty aro understood to bo based on tho sine quoiion of the neu trality of the Canal. If thir can bo definitely assured now it neems likely that Great Britain will ngree to abrogate tho Clayton-Bnlwer treaty, though tliero is still a possibility of tin endeavor on tho part of Great Britain to Biniulatatieously bring up tho Alaska boundary mutter. sfiJv ,. my '.&.. sr V& Of Control-Taken to Mean That She Ceases to be an Arbitrary Despot Negotiations Will Now Easier by the Powers. be Much Washington, April 20. Following cablegram is rccoivod from Squire, in clinrgo at Pekin: "Tho Empress Dowager has appointed a board of national administration tp relcivo her of public functions.

FRANCE WILL SUPPLY THE NEEDED FINANCES And Russia Will Lend Cnlna the War Indemnity Funds ft It's a spring medicine ; and the chances are you need a bottle or two of it. You want something that acts directly on the blood, takes out all impurities from the system, braces up the nerves, and makes you in tune with the time of year. It's a spring medicine Ayer's Sarsa parilla. There are fifteen remedies, Nature's own remedies, in this grand old family medi cine. If you arc feeling all run down this spring, arc dragging around in a miserable condition, and go about -your work in a lifeless kind of a way, try a bottle or two : of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. You will be wonderfully pleased with, the result. " I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla every spring and fall for a great many years. I am sure it keeps me free from boils and other signs of impure blood. It is just the medicine one needs to meet the pronounced changes of the scasona."--GEO. R.
