tim church lust night on tho subject,
"Why lb the Heathen Uage7" said
" Uii! lii'iittiun are racing, that ih cer
tain. China amazes the world. Five
years iv i .lapiiu alone unnihilated her
nrmv mul nuvv. Now she define all the
Kuropunu nations. China has been
called the riddle of tho World ; the jest of
all nations.
"Ui'ihtii'flR some mtBBionariea are

risiny in 1 1,111:1. All the missionaries
who re'rain from civil functions and con

rising, 'llicy follow tho American idea
of et'p.itatioti of church and Btate. They
do not in'erfuro between their converts
an.! the C.iiheso authorities.
UioflM missionaries who couibino
civil authority with their religions in
fttriiutluii aie partly responsible for the
condition of things in China. More
than IIOO years ago in Japan the Human
Catholic church persecuted the Japanese
who refused to accept their doctrine. At
this moment similar things are nt work
i" China. Hh,hops have told tales which
exc.te. the j-alousy of the ChiiieBe.
"Some missionaries actually sit bb jus
tice in civil casus and impose fines and
uther temporal peualtiea. Tliey Boon
surround theuiflulveB with all Iheiliguity
of kingly rulers, and the native heathen
'o not distinguish between tlio ecclesias

aiili.foreiKn feeling. An nntl-foreign
Mrit has been developed, and no one
c help but see that the first attack is
Hindu upon tho missionaries ho have
oeaumeil to exercise civil power.
"I was in China five years ago this
"1011th, and many or the conditions I ex

testimony of missionaries on tlm f,rnnnrf
at 'his moment. They declare the bieh

MINISTERS ARE
REPORTED SAFE
Prince Tuan's Alleged Message is in
Conflict With That of Minister
Conger, However, in Saying There
Was No Fighting in Pekin Last
Wednesday.
Washington, July 23. The state de
partment has made public the following:
The state department has received a
dispatch from Mr. Goodnow, the consul
general at Shanghai, dated today, saying
that Prince Tuan wires that an officer of
the Taunt: li Yamun saw all the ministers
on the 18th ; that none was injured and
that no attack was at that time being
made. lie does not say to whom the
dispatch of Prince Tuan was addressed
and it is to a certain extent at -variance
with the dispatch of Mr. Conner of that
date, describing the legation as being
under fire at the time,"
Isuw ioiik, Julv 23. A dispatch to
the HerM from Ctie Foo, July 21, says
that the captain of a liritish steamer
who has just arrived from New Chwamr,
teports that ttiere arrived there on
Thursday a Chinaman professing to be
a foreigner's servant who escaped from
Pekiu on the 12th, on which date the
British legation wa9 destroyed and' the
foreigners butchered. The story is
credited in New Ciiwatig.
Another telegram came from the gov
ernor of Stian Fung last night. He says:
"I have received definite information
from Pekin that all the ministers are
well and there is no illness atuona: them.
The proper Chinese authorities are de
vising means for their rescue and pro
tection. St. PiMKitsnuuG. July 23. Two en

Lincoln, Neb., Jul) 23. A rain storm
kept W. J. Bryan indoors today, but
time did not banu heavily on his hand-.
He had a linmb.-r of visitors, three of
political prominenc- General James B.
Weaver, of Iowa ; Louis O. Khricli, of
Colorado Springs, Colo , and John F.
Pitts, of Cincinnati. Mr. Pitts is of the
national democratic campaign club, and
he claims many accessions to the ranks
of the organization. He told Mr. Bryan
ttiat the irustquestion wtsau important
one, and on this issuu he would make
great L'ains. He said tlio democratic
tiaveling men proposed to establish
headquarters in every city of importance
in the count r v.
Mr. Ehrich, who ih the Colorado mem
ber of the anti-imperialistic leatii-e,
called to tell of the progress being made
in the West. He told Mr. Bryan that
while lie voted with the gold democrats
four years ago, he was for him now.
General Weaver waH on his way home
from Idaho, where he had attended the
fusion Btate conventions. Ho and Mr.
Bryan were togetiier some time.
A story circulated here today, though
not credited to Mr. Bryan or his visitors,
ia to the ellect that Charles A. Towue
will remain on the ticket as populist
candidate for Vice-President for the good
hie candidacy will do in the strongly
populistlc statee of Kansas Net raska
and South Dakota. Mr. Towne'a letter
of acceptance or witiidrawal will be held

committees of the demoorals and popu
lists have discussed the matter. A con

Washington, July 23. Chairman
Babcock, of the republican congressional
committee, after a somewhat extended
tour of the East and Middle West, says
that the situation, na far aa the national
ticket is concerned, ia entirely satisfac
tory, and that McKinley will poll at
least as large a vote aa he had four yeara
a no. He s-iys the republicans seem to
he equally contented with the democratic
ticket and platform, which he considers
the best tiiat could have been named to
strengthen the republican cause.
Mr. Babcock ia more apprehensive
about the congressional campaign, for
while the gold democrats will support
thn national republican ticket, many of
them will tlesert ttie sound-money party
on congressional issues, and for local
offices. In order to retain control of the
nest House, ho says, every republican
should vole. While this ia a discourag
outlook which the republicans must face,
it is yet the fact, and the sooner they
get to work the better. Attention is
called to the fact that many states, such
as New York and Pennsylvania, which
will uive their electoral vote to McKinley,
have a large number of democratic rep
resentatives in congress, which, added
to the Solid South, makes the prospect
au thing but bright for the republicans
and proves that the carrying of the na
tional campaign does not necessarily
mean success in the congressional fight."
