DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 22-The Michi-
gan club. a Republican organization hav-
ing its membership throughout this state,
held its first anniversary here to night
in the shape OF a banquet Senator
Palmer, the presiding officer, sat IN the
center of a raised table at the end OF the
hall, on his right were Senators Evarts,
Conger, Man6erson, ex-Reprcsentative
Horr and other Michigan men; on his
left sat Senator Logan, Governor Alger
and Governor Foraker. AT 9 0 clock Sena-
tor Palmer called the audience to order.
In his Introductory remarks he explained
the object of the club, saying that Wash
ington, if alive. would probably be pres
emit He said it is composed of those who
believe that the Republican party still
has work to do. terming it properly the
party of God ard morality"
William NJ. Evarts responded to the
toast, Washington the Nationalist, the
Federal Union the contamination of his
work. When the storm of applause
subsidized, Mr.. Eyarts returned thanks for
his reception, and for being included in
the number of those invited to participate
in the exercises Of the anniversary. Mr..
Evarts considered the Chicago conven-
ton of 1860 as the supplement and full
fllment of the convention and declaration
of independence. Then we we're out of
power; are we in power now2 The Dem
ocratic party was in power then and is
now. We know what we did then, What
about now2 Are not the same incentives
at work among the people? He could
not foretell the storm, but he believed the
duty now is the SAINT as in 1860. The
same motives should work upon the party
and the same responsibilities be as
sumed. All else must be laid
aside, and with unselfsh devotion Repub-
leans should regain power from the same
reasons that led TO it then. The Demo-
cratic party had no principles worthy of
the name at-that time, and now they
have nothing to propose for the welfare,
happiness and good name of the country.
He said the Republican party must avow
its holding to the principle of protection
of American Industries; education must
be universal and suffrage must be every
where an absolute and unchallenged suf-
frage. ''lf, in the next campaign, victory

The Chinese Will Go.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The Mail anl
Express publishes the following interview
with Ching Hoy, Chinese consul in this
city, based upon n St Louis dispatch,
saying That the Chinese imperial govern
ment contcmplaies retaliatory measures on
account Of the treatment accorded to Chi
nese subjects in this country. Il cannot
say | pm advised that an imperial prochl-
nation has been issued compelling all
Cinnamon in this country to return home,
but | can say that the consul general at
San Francisco has sent out notices advis
ing all Cinnamon to leave. Whether the
government is at the back of this | cannot
say. As to the suggestion of retaliation,
| have no doubt measures Of this kind
will be taken by our government, II
Chinamen are driven out and outraged
here, why can't our people drive nj all
the Americans FROM China2 The good
fame Of this country has been disgraeed
by recent outrages and the question has
become very serious. There is no protcc-
ton to Cinnamon at all, but American
merchants and missionaries are well
treated in China, and whenever i'll treated,
the government takes prompt action, not
only paying damages but rcdressing the
wrong done. What | don't understand is
why the good people of the East remain
silent. 1t certainly was not the intention
Of congress that merchants and Others
should be treated in this way. If nothing
is done, the mnie between the two
countries, amounting 10 $50. DOC. 600 an

Churchill Sounding the Alarm.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Lord Randolph
Churchill arrived at Larne this morning
on his way to Belfast. He vas enthusiast
tically received by a large crowd. On his
journey from London he made a short
stop at Stranrcar, Scotland. There was a
gathering Of people at the station, and re-
plying to their greetings he made a speech
in which he said he imagined Scotchmen
benefit too much by their union with Eng
land to support any proposal for dismem-
berment. This remark was received with
cheers. In an address at Larve he as
serted that the granting of home rule to
Ireland would result in the dissolution of
the connection between Great Britain and
Ireland. He declared that the placing of
the l~oyalists of the North of Ireland under
the authority OF the Dublin government
would be a monstrosity of civilization.
Loyalists must organize and fit themselves
Tor the struggle for the maintenance of
the union which was only beginning now,
but which, he predicted, would assume
grave proportions.
