Was announced today by nent Chinese that the Chinese people are not at all friendly to the presence of foreign missionaries. They resent the efforts of the missionaries to’force 9. lot of new creeds on their people. The Chinese have perhaps a more firm. ly llxed religious belief than any other people in the world, and they look up: on the religions of the western world with scant favor. "The Chinese government is as friendly to the people and government of the United States as toward any. although nothing has a greater ten- dency to strain them than the fre- quent publication of false reports and threatened armed invasions. Although not encouraged by the government in any way these reports constitute a grave menace 'to the continuance of amicable relations between the Ohio- see and Americans. for these mislead- ing reports by means of the native press are circulated broadcast through out the empire and find ready credence among the masses.“ HON KONG, March 9.—-'l‘hc friction existing for some time between the Viceroy of Canton and the American representatives has given place to more pleasant. relations which state of afairs huts bee'n signallzed by an exchange of courtesiss.
