began a systematic colloctlon of all kinds
of treasures and brought them to tho Brit
ish legation. They sent out Hindoo slkhs
with pack trains and brought silks, tufa,
Jowols and silver Into tho legation and
sold, thorn thero nt auction. Tho proceeds
aro to bo divided among tho British sol
diers.
Minister Conger nnd tho American officers
havo succeeded In holding back our troops,
much to tho latter's disgust. Otic day tho
AmerlcauH found within their lines 500,000
taels, about 1125,000. Thd French Im
mediately declnred that tho lino was
wrongly drawn and drow tholr guns on tho
Amorlcans. An Investigation was made
and tho Americans gavo In and tho French
got tho money. In tho samo way our sol
dtoro allowed tho Russians to tako tho
Imperial pnluco from them after they had
dono tho lighting nnd lost eight men In
taking it. The Ilusslans also took tho
cmprcRs' summer palace, tho railway and
arsenal nt Tien Tsln and other strategic
points along tho river. It Is a question
whether In thoso cases forbearance had not
oeuBod to bo a virtue, but nt any rato Min
ister Conger probably carried out tho or
ders of his suporlors.
Tho position ot our minister In tho pence
negotiations Is a trying ono. Tho Chinese,
tho HiiBslaus nnd tho British nil seem to bo

said:
" 'Major Conger, I do hope when you go to
China you will take Jesus with you to the
poor heathens.
" Ah! sny little girl,' said I, '1 don't need
to do that. Jesus Is thero already! Ho is
