USELESS WORK.
The Christian Missions in China are n
Comnleta Enilnrn

The Christian Missions in China are n
Complete Failure.
WASHINGTON, August l2;h.-Lieutenan
Wood OF the United States Navy has been
much in China and the East, and publicly
speaks as follows Of the American mission
aries in China and Corea: "It is not ex-
traNagant to say that the work of the mis-
Sloneries in China and Corea has been alb.
Solutely without any result, except to hold
them up to the ridicule of the natives. II
has been before stated, and concur in The
belief, that there is not a Chinese convert
TO Christianity of sound mind to-day with
in the entire extent of China
The converts We hear of in this country
are merely menials employed about quar-
ters of missionaries, who, for salary of 81
per month, become converts. But when
they are discharged there is no further evil
dence OF their change of mind. The mis-
sionaries do not mix with the natives to
any considerable extent, and many of their
meetings are not only conducted in En-
gish, bat with the missionaries themselves
as audiences.
As for nobleman of Corea or a man.
DARN OF China ever acknowledging the
Christian faith, such q thing was never
heard of. The missionaries are looked
upon about as is the Salvation ARMY in
America, only TO a degree ten times as
great. The Chinaman, for instance, has a
respect for his language which amounts 20
reverence. Even stray piece of paper
covered with Chinese characters would be
picked up by them and burned.
You will understand with what feel
iugs they regard the translation of the
Bible the missionaries have prepared for
them when you know that this is lingo
which stands in the same relation to the
classical language of the country, which is
used in court, and is the official language
all over that country, that an obscure
negro dialect of Louisiana bears TO classi-
cal Euglish. Only educated Chinese are
able to use this language.
They all have the same respect for it,
and it is in that the precepts of Confucius
are given to the people. When the-mis-
sionaries located in Foo Chow they learned
the language of that locality, and, of
course, could use no other, either in speech
or to write in making translation. There
Is gradual change in the LIMOGES of China,
which IS seen distinctly in distance o!
fifty miles, but the tongue of the man
darlns is universally used by the educated
and reverenced by everyone"

WHAT TINS WORLD IS cosuye TO

People Of speculative turn Of mind
may we'll ask themselves what is to be
done with so enormous population; how
are they to be supported, and many other
questions that, though purely speculative
now, may assume a vital Importance be-
fore the close OF the next century. The
total area of the United States, including
Alaska, is $3.50, 242 square miles, or 2 29I,-
354 $50 acres. This area necessarily in
eludes the lakes, liyers and uninhabitable
mountains and deserts, yet we GDd that
there will be an average of more than two
and one-half persons to each acre Of our
total area when the enumeratnrs enter
upon theirduties one hundred years hence.
The exact figures are 2.504.
According to Mr.. Loomis, the ratio of
increase of population by births over
deaths, although much less than ] was a
century since, is at present 2.0l per cent.
per annun, or POI each ten years. Ac-
cepting, for convenience, the ratio Of de-
cennial increase as 20 per cent, and cast
ing aside all acgetion from immigration,
we find that in the year 1890 cur total
population viii be more than Gl0,000,000
Whether these figures are accepted as
reasonably Trustworthy or rejected as gross
exaggeratioD, the fact still remains that
the natural and inevitable increase OF the
population, not alone of our own country,
but of the whole world, presents anpro-
blem that may we'll engage the thoughtful
mind.

The Tomb of RnckIe.

A traveller just arrived in London from
Damascus gives some details about the
present condition and surroundings of
Buckles grave. Though it was left so
long after his death without a stone even
to mark it, that it had become almost lost
under rank growth of thistles and coarse
grass, the altar-tomb of marble and black
basalt that was at length erected is now in
closed in high wall with a padlocked
gate. Next to Buckles tomb are the
tombs OF two rather remarkable women.
The first is that of the Countess Teleki, a
daughter of Lord Langdale, who specially
desired that her grave should be next to
Buckles, and the next is that of Lady
Peterborough, erected by her brother,
Lord Digby, with an Arabic inscription
from the Koran, placed upon it by her
later husband, the Arab Sheikh, in singular
proximity to the cross which forms part of
the monument. On Buckles tomb, also
on which, however there is no cross-there
is an Arabic inscription suggested by the
famous Emir Add el-kader.

NATIONAL CONVENTION

pOrtant Action.

of the Ancient Order of Foresters-Im-
pOrtant Action.
MINNEAPOLIS, August 12th.-The Ma
nanal Convention of the Ancient Order of
Foresters opens in this city tomorrow.
Between 600 and 7C0 delegates will be
present.
The California delegation wss the first to
arrive. The party was unf rtunate in
losing one of its members, who died while
en- route, just before reaching Denver.
To-day was devoted to a picnic at Spring
Park. Judging from present indications
there seems not the slish est doubt but
that the a. o. F. in this country will be a
distinct organization after tomorrow.
Exactly how the matter will come up in
the convention is not settled. 1t is expec-
ted that it will take the form of resolu-
ton tomorrow morning. Rather new
light is thrown upon the situation by Chief
Ranger elect Wilson Murray. In speaking
OF the subject this morning that gentleman
said: 1t is notso much the color-line that
will split the American organization away
from the English order as the fact that the
English High Court has tried to coerce and
has broken faith with u.s.
There seems 20 bea difference of opinion
ss to what name thenew organization shall
take. Some favor the name American
Ancient Order of Foresters," while others
favor the title, ancient Order of Foresters

American shippers who have been kept
well informed have been quietly getting in
nand all the vessels possible, but these in

American house.

WASHINGTON, August 18th. - Commits
sioner OF Pensions Tanner stated to-day
that he was not candidate for Command

public, and even if he was unanimously
elected he would not accept.
THE fact is, can't" he added. a
could not be Commissioner of Pensions
and Grand Commander at the same time.
The latter position requires man to travel
about a great deal am poor man and
there is no salary attached 10 the place, so
could not accept under any circum-

Mr.. Tanner thought that either General
Alger or Judge Veasey would be elected
and as it was probable that Alger would
be offered place in the Interstate Com
merce Commission, he concluded that Mr..
Veasey would be the coming man.
