Li Hung Chang Advises the Emperor v GEN. LIU IS BOASTFUL Fpreigrr Ministers in Favor of Evacuation as Soon as As- surances of. Tranquillity Can Be Given- Pekin, April 18. Li Hung Chang has telegraphed Emperor Kwang Hsu and the governor of the 1 province of Shansi recommending the withdrawal of Chi nese troops from the border, but Gen eral Liu, if his boasting means any thing, will remain to fight the German and French troops sent to oppose his advance. The foreign - ministers at a meeting yesterday, approved the main features of the report" of the generals mentioned in previous dispatches, providing for the razing of the Chinese forts between Pekin and the sea, the establishment of military posts at certain points and the gradual evacuation of China by the al lied troops. It is probable that the evacuation will begin by the foreign, troops leaving Pao ting Fu, provided there is no collision between the Chinese troops and the a rench and Germans during the march of the , present expedition. Several per sons of prominence think that the evac uation of China would depend upon the emperor's agreement to return to Pekin. They also believe that part of the jour ney should be completed and capable native authority restored before the allies evacuate Pekin. otherwise bedlam will prevail and the impression among the Chinese will be that the foreigners were j ! A .a : Tl, 1. . afraid to remain. The expense of keep ing the allies here is a very important item. It is estimated that will amount to 80,000,000 taels per month. '; Several Belgian i Catholic missionaries and native converts have secured rifles and ammunition here and have -returned to .Mongolia to strengthen the fortifica tions there against threatened attack. This action was necessary unless the missionaries decided to abandon their property, there and give np their work of making converts. Mongolia, like Shansi, is still very unsafe for foreign- f?rs. -. - M. Tokotiloft, head of the Russian bank in China writes that a capable agent from the east is going to St. Pe tersburg where hjs advice' is , needed in regard to the VManchurian convention. At the last meeting of the ministers, M. DeGiers, ' the Russian . representative, spoke in favor of Barsh treatment of the Chinese, tie had previously been in fa vor of treating the offenders leniently. To some people this proved the folly of China in rejecting the-Russian over tures. - I Conference ot Far .. tance to Wiustou-Salem, X, S., April IS. Spe cial. The ' conference for education in the South, which is to be the most signi ticant meeting of the kind ever lield in the State, opened in the chapel of Salem Female College at 3:30 this afternoon with a large and enthusiastic audience in attendance. Dr. Robert Ogden's party of sixty from New York, .which is making a tour of the South, arrived on a special train at 2:30 this afternoon. At. the opening session, Dr. J. L. M. Curry," of Wash ington City, announced that Bishop Doau of Albany, X. Y., was compelled to leave on the evening train. He in- i,. , ,.i - - . -t, . . i. I i , , trooucea tne nisnop in a snore aouress. , , The bishop expressed himself as being . i 1 : .1. l. : . .i un..iK 1 , , x , , . , . , gretred that he could not remain longer, , , , . . , as he has been inspired ever since ne came south. At Greensboro" he was de lighted with the work being done for the educational uplifting of womanhood of North Carolina. He paid a high tribute to President Mclver's magnificent work. He said people had become reconciled to the fact that women were entitled to the full complement of educational ad vantages as men. Dr. Robert Ogden, president of the conference, introduced Governor Ay cock, who delivered the address of wel come in behalf of North-Carolina. After cheering had subsided. Governor Ayeock said if the thing had kept up much longer he would have thought he was in the campaign of .'1900..- He then extended to the visitors a cordial wel come to the State; lie said they could break any law they wanted to, except the law of hospitality in North Carolina, which demanded that they should not leave too soon. He said there was a great deal about North Carolina he would like for th distinguished visitors to ,know that she had the first white child born in the United States, the f rst declaration of independence, the first in everything good that she had no credit for: that the camuaisn of 1900 was. an ! educational one: that the last legislature had nearly doubled the appropriation to public schoools. and we have written it in our constitution that none coming of age after 1908 can vote unless he should first have learned to read and write. He said: "It is a great thing to see noble friends J coming ...to see what . we need, so they can help .us. We have not had to seek them. The great need in this State is better-and more schools in country "dis tricts. That is a problem we must solve ourselves." 3 . Bishop Rondthaler was then" introduc ed to deliver a welcoming address. He spoke as follows: Bishop Bend thaler 'a Address of Wel come Bishop Edward Rondthaler. of the Mo ravian churcn, in an aumirauie auuress of welcome, outlined the. .proposed work or object of the conference. He spoke as follows: -r - " "It gives me pleasure in (the name of the Winston-Salem community to wel come you. the members of the Education al Conference, to our Southern homes. I have the additional satisfaction, in be half of the Trustees and the President of the Salem Academy, of asking you to rise the facilities of our college for the prosecution of your important education al labors. It seems especially appropri ate that the chapel of a Moravian insti tution, which for a nunttred years nas been educating the daughters of the South, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, should become at this time, the official home of a conference, destined under God. to stimulate the cause of edu cation over that same vast area of States. "For me, an occasion like this has a peculiar charm, in view of my own life experience. My earliest service was given in great cities, where I came into touch with the best Northern sentiment. Then, in the Providence of God, I was transplanted into the South, where amid everwidening acquaintances I have learn ed to love the people as if I had been born among them. Having such intimate esteem for both sections of our great country, I have often said to myself: "What a pity that the best North and the best South do not know c-ach other bet ter." This national need is being met by conferences like the one now assembling. It is amid the clash of political ambitions on an aremi like that which the City of Washington furnishes; it is not amid the speculative straits of a New-York bourse, or a New Orleans cotton market: it is on the broader field of a human interest in the fellow-man that North and South may learn to know each other well enough to have the esteem which they really deserve- from one another. The South has. during these recent years of new experience; been carrying a double educational load. She lias been obliged to divide her school money between white and black, although the latter a compara tively small element in the tax list, while Lhev forIU a very large element of the 1 , .. -rt tl . . . population. Because ot the needs of the other race, the whit public schools have had. especially in country districts, a very limited and struggling existence. ' "It is right, whileat the same time it is generous, that -our NortheriAbreth ren' should in various private aj un constrained, ways, assist us in our double task. And it is both Avise and fair that they should come to visit us, in order to learn the problem with which we have to deal, face to face, ant to hear what we, who live in daily struggle with them (have learned about them, in the hard school of actual experience. : ' "If some educational need were to arise, we will say. in the State of Mas sachusetts, and we4 in North Carolina should feel ourselves constrained to help solve the problem of our Eastern breth rent, it would be moper for ms to .go to the scene of that problem and hear what the best people have to say about it; otherwise our help might involve some very costly failures and might tend in tho umi .-. . .... n.

We do not want the paint :jot, or the varnish brush to be here emllqyed. We need rather to have the . great educa tional problems of thei So'utia stand in their native wood aspect, v showing all the knots of difficulty just aswthey are. What we want from one anotiaer1 'is the truth. If any one has avvltafi question to ask, let him .freely ask i if any one has an ascertained fact tofgive let him communicate it without cmistrnint. It is one of the most important occasions which can occur in a lifetime, off strictly following the Scripture" injunction: 'To speak the truth in love.' s Aowhere has the fact been more deeply felt than here at Saleni under this college roof that the timeSi were new in their educational requirements. We have educated a multitude W wo men to shine in their homes as flidour gifted alumna the wife President Polk in the White House at Washing ton, our distinguished pupil, Mrs.'IKtone- wall Jackson, and many another, in ev ery walk of life. . : We are still pursuing thesr? old lines of a genial culture, but are, at 'thejlsame time educating women for the commer cial desk, and even for the more c&rape teut care of the kitchen. The SotMhern schools are everywhere responding Iruore and more to these needs of the jNew South and deserve the fullest sympathy and support from those 'who come to us out of the oft-times better equipped en vironments of the North. ' Let it l1 re membered that ait industrial education is not merely a need of the black jrace. but also of the white, and the Hotter the equipments are for Uie white y&nth, the more will in the end be done fur the colored people and thus the entire iiopu lation be reached and blessed. The one twist whjchJfcy.ujwiT as, ia this conferential hall -that of the pio neer of modern education, the Bwell known Moravian Bishop iComeiiius. What he did was very greats but fvery. simple! : He looked the whole theow: of education into the face in order til get the real facts of the case for the Bene fit of all mankind, and thus he rdvolu tionized' the traditional methods of ledu- cation for the benefit of the mdflern child. !-Let- us not merely look into bis face, but follow his spirit in all 1 tin- sessions ot this notable, conference! and see all the truth, which ? may nnflerlie our Southern educatioaab problena, "But we shall have, we may - frust, the presence of a nobler spirit than Ithat rtf the Reformer Comenius. Let W in voke the spirit of Him who thong he was the highest liecanie the loadiest, in order to lift usvto the level of his char acter and of his heavenly home. W mav huhiblv trust that with his presence something vital may be accomplishes for the educational welfare of the Hroad section in which we are met something which the Master will account afli last as havins been faithfully and nobly IdoiK1 for his little ones." 'resident uirden extended tne manKs of the conference for the cordial weji'ome given by Governor Ayeock a4id Bishop Rondthaler.

C, April 18.Special. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister, arrived in Charlotte this morning from Washing-,! ton and spent the day as guest of the Southern Manufacturers' Club, together with Senator McLaurin, Senator rritch ard, Dr. Chas. Dabney, President of .the University of Tennessee and ether dis tinguished personages. Minister Wu immediately upon his ar rival was escorted to the club( by D. A. Tompkins and others. On reaching the club breakfast or four was served, with Minister Wu at the head of .the table. Minister Wu ordered chicken and ,eggs for breakfast. Alter completing his meal the Chinese minister, arrayed in official robes and accompanied by a large party, was driven over the city, visiting sever al cotton manufacturing plants. In the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 a reception in honor of the "minister was given mostly to ladies of the city,, who would not otherwise have had an oppor tunity of meeting the distinguished Ori ental. At this reception throngs of . the eity s representative and most stylish ladies and escorts were introduced to Minister Wu. y At the banquet at night, one of the handsomest menus ever - served on tiny similar occasion here was participated in by members of the Southern Manufac turers' Club and a few invited friends. After serving the banquet the speakers of the evening were introduced. The first speaker was His Excellency, -Wu Ting Fang: subject, "Cotton - Goods Trade" in China." Minister Wu spoke in part as follows:-1 .'"' i'k - "' ; '.--'":? "It might, be supposed that a lion's hare of the- trade between China and the-United States would naturally , fall ta the United States on the . l'acilic coast. : Tliere the Chinese have, estab lished themselves in business, in Port land San Francisco. Los Angeles and other cities in California. Washington and Oregon have colonies of Chinese called 'Chinatowns,' bits of the pictur esque Orient set in the midst of the. bustling and modern Occident. Iudeed,' the Chinese have come to identify Cali fornia with America, but the recent dis turbances in China have made some unex pected, revelations. The unsettled state of things in North China is . found to affect seriously the cotton industry in the Southern States of the United States. ' . ' v "In a memorial from 'the. cotton man ufacturers of the South, addressed to ,the Secretary of State in November last, commending the open door policy in China, the statement is made that a large part of the production of the cot ton drills and sheetings manufactured in the Southern-' mills- is exported "to North China and that the prohibition or interference .ia China by any Euro pean government would tend to serious ly injure, not only the cotton manufac turing industries, but other important products of the United States which arc being shipped to China.. It is not only the manufacturers of cotton goods. thnt would be seriously affected, but the Southern planter and cotton grower who; finds a ready cash sale for his products at his very doof; aud also the.gooil of employes and laboring classes who arc" engaged in the cotton mills and depend on the success of these manuf Oituring industries for a livelihood. "This is a new bond of sympathy be-v t ween China and the , United-States. I say a new bond, because it is of a com paratively recent growth The trade has practically sprung up since TS9G; statistics will bear this. out. China; im ported last year oyer five times . the amount of American efjtt6n goods meas ured in American dollars that she did in 1805.

Vermilion iq the last few days. Sine the oil boom the lahd office has disposed of 7,000 acres of swamp and overflow lands on Calcaisieu and Vernon, 74,000 acres ..of sea marsh in Iberia' and 53,000 ' in Vermillion.

BRlfiSHfirMCES;' - ' ' .5 Deficit In Revenues and New Taxes Necessary '" - - London, April 18. The exceptloniil In terest' taken in this years' budget state ment was evidenced by the crowded condition of the House of Commons when it reassembled today. The attend ance of members was unusually large( while the appearance of the galleries tes tified to the deep interest of the. public in the fresh taxation proposals required to meet th$r expenditures, for 1901-2 which, according to a parliamentary pa- ; per issued this afternoon, totals 187,- ', 602,000, inclusive of war charges, this ; being an increase of 32,901,000 over ; last year. The natioual balance sheet for 1900-1 as shown by the same paper stands as follows: Revenue 130,3S5,000; exnenditures 183,592,000: net defiiciC 53,207,000. . ,;. . Mr. Balfour, the government leader, indirectly announced the forthcoming loan, saying he hoped to- introduce x res olution on the' subject tonight, if possi ble. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, rose at 4:18 this afternoon amidst rounds of cheera and commenced the budget statement. His opening Bonteuee was not promising.- "During the last five years," said the clmncellor, "we have been invaria bly able to congratulate the House on a general increase in the prosperity of ths ! countrjy but the year 1900, especially the-last six months, showed symptoms . of a change. - . Our foreign trade during the year con siderably .increased,-but in valuo rathr than in volume. It was mainly derived, the chancellor said, from-the high prices of certain articles, notably coal, which naturally must have injured important ', ihdustrr5, especially railways. Nevertheless the revenue, for the past year showed no signs of decrease, and the 'exchequer weeipts showefl a surplus Of 2,865.000 over the estimates. - He was bouud to say, however, that the ex cess was doe to forestallment on dutia ble articles. But for this his estimates would have been barely realized. Much could be said for and against forestall-. ment, but it was an unmitigated nui- -sance to financial statisticians. The fore stallments of 1899-1900 amounted ta 3,250,000, which properly belonged to the revenue of the past year. The f ore-' stallment of the - past year somewhat, exceeded the previous year. He would suv thiit tli rnnenminc newer Of the j peoide was maintained, but there was no material evidence of the expansion or . ; that power beyond what was fairly at-' tributed to increase of population. The bu'gel provides for new taxation to the amount of 11,000,000 annually to meet the deficit caused by the war in " Sooth Africa. - ' X -, :. :. . , - : ( ; Had toTGive It Ur - New " Orleans, ' " April 18.
