PROPHESIES INTER
NATIONAL CRISIS
Hclicves America Should Prepare for a
Crash Which Will Involve the
Whulc World in a Gigantic Struck
for Supremacy.
Ni:wouk, July 111. Lieutenant C. A.
Totteu, at New Haven, Conu., had given
utterance to u stiring propheey on the
present international crisis. He calls
the China war the "drngonian one," nud
compares the reported inaBBncrea in
China with "the crime of ltenjamin
against one lout) woman, for which all
leraul nearly wiped out the whole tribe."
"I'litviTtal war beforo universal peace ;
it Mum come," says Lieutenant Tottuu.
The duty of the civilized world is to ad
vance against the barbaric world. I be
lieve that rondiHion will confuse itself
more and more, year by year, until the
long predicted crash involves nil con
cerned in a world-wide conflagration, in
finitely hotter than the Hobokun fire
anil juat ao sudden.
"America must prepare for it. Tho
Anlo-Saxon world must be in at this
leatli-Kngland, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales, the Germans if they are wi&e,
fur it is the balance of power that io on
'leek. It la our last chance and we must
improve it, our best opportunity.
"We are ut the parting of the wave.
Hvents have thrust us Into outside mat
ters; the very operations of peace, the
natural ones commerce ami vast inter
national tieaties of reciprocity all over
the world-have silently involved ub in
a uwxu of environments that wo cannot
escape, llefore its niagnitudo tho do.
Htrmuion of tho Maine was naught. Yet
the latter led logically to a war just as
"tir own revolution. Why, even Mr.
au tool: up arms then. Now, shall
wu withdraw from the concert of tho
civilized nations in this common demand
for future h-hcd nmj vaet indomnity for
the recent outrage, or not?
"Iet iia prepare for war, anyway, If
u have any sense loft, Matters of purty
Hicyaro but fardels before such issues

Whether the Conger Message Is Gen
nine or Not.
Washington, July 21. While the
state department maintains the greatest
confidence in the authenticity of the
message from Minister Conger, yet many
people well versed into diplomatic mat
ters doubt that this message was a reply
to Secretary Hay's cablegram. Those
who doubt the Conger message are at a
loss to undersand why such a message
was sent, if not authemtic, which view
is taken by the state department. Such
a message, if a forgery, would not tend
to delay, the only object which could be
hoped for by those who would penetrate
the deception and this fact tends to con
firm the genuineness ot the message,
which, if not an answer to Hay, mnst
have been delayed in transmission or
held up purposely.
The Btory put afloat here this morning
that the ministers were safely confirmed
in an underground passage from the
British legation to the imperial palace
is riculed. It is absurd to think such a
passage could exist without it being
known before the present emergency
arose, and if the legHtion has fallen it is
reasonable to suppose Ench a passage
way has been expised and likewise de
stroyed. But eveu the existence of such
a passage is pronounced absurd, and the
story, emanating, as it did, without rea
son or guise of truth behind it, has been
held up to ridicule in Washington.
Senator Burowe, of Michigan, says
McKinley will carry the country by 500,

Philippine policy as against the wild

MISSIONARIES HAVE
HAD THEIR SHARE
Sonic Were Also Politicians and Were
Too Grasping.
New Yobk, July 23. Rev. Dr. A.
Woodruff Halsey, secretary of the Pres
byterian board of foreign missions,
speaking on tho Chinese situation, said :
"The missionary hae had his share in
fomenting this trouble, and must bear
his share of the blame. Some of the
missionarias have been politicians, as
well as Christians, and their grasping,
selfish attitude hat helped to bring about
the present condition.
"Very significant is the attitude of the
Chinese toward the Roman Catholic
missionaries. I know of many Roman
Catholics who have done really good
work. But it is true, unfortunately,
that the whole Roman Catholic propa
ganda is political, as well as religious.
This has been prominently exemplified
only recently in the Philippines, where
all the influence of that great church of
the ages was used for self-aggrandizement.
So it is in Peru, Chile and
Brazil. There missions are simply
monasteries of the Middle ages over
Hgaln.
"In China, tiie Roman Catholics have
suffered, first, because they meddled
with Chinese politics. Ministers Wu
Slid: 'Yon would not tolerate a hand
of Chinese missionaries coming to New
York and preaching Confucianism and
meddling with thegoverumeiit.'
"I point this out because I want you
to understane that there are two ideas
to the question, Of the 104 Presbyterian
missionaries who were in the dangerous
zone, all but nineteen are now in places
of safety. Notwithstanding the great
commotion, the persecution has not
been directed primarily against the
Protestants, because as a rule they do
their work as peaceable servants of
Christ.
"We have now 7000 missionaries in
China, 1500 (chools and 124 hospitals
and dispensaries, at which latter places
lust year wero treated 1,700,000 persons.
You cannot go through a villiace in
China without tr.eetini; someone who
has been blessed by the Christian
church.
