The Heathen-Good Progress Made in Japan
The Chinese are Apathetic- Satisfac-
tory Results In India and Ceylon.

New YORK, March IA summary of
statistics compiled by the American board
OF foreign missions gives comprehensive
view of Protestant missionary work as it
stood at the beginning Of this year.
In Japan, q Protestant missions have a
total adult native mem bership of 2S.977.
This does not include those who attend
church, but are not members. OF the 800
members Of the new Japanese parliament,
elected last July, 12 are professedly Chris
tians.
There are 527 missionaries in China. Con
sidering the number OF missionaries, and
the number of years they have been work
Ing, the results are not so satisfactory.
This is due to the stolidity of the Chinese
character. There are l 1856 Protestant mis-
sionaries, while the number of adult native
communicates is "a, 1S7.
In India and Ceylon, the moot satisfac-
tory OF all, the native Christians in the
schools alone number 76,367, though the
number of missionaries is less than three
hundred.

Why the Sioux Should Not be Disarmed.

WASHINGTON, March Recently Gen
eral Morgan, commissioner of Indian
affairs, was requested by the secretary of
the interior to give expression to his views
upon the communication of the governor of
South Dakota urging the disarming of the
Indians in that state. In reply General
Morgan states: 1.-The reasons for disarm-
ing the Indians are obvious and weighty,
viz, to prevent them from going on the
war path, and quiet the fears ofswhite set
tiers in that vicinity. If | thought there
was really serious danger of any consider
able number of the Indians going upon the
war path, or that the surest way of pre-
venting any Indian from becoming hostile
was to disarm all, should be very slow to
interpose any objection to the meas
ure. If l felt that the white set
tiers were in serious danger of attack
by the Indians, and was convinced
their safety demanded the action above
suggested, could not well resist; but so
far as my knowledge extends, l can hardly
believe there is now any serious danger of
the Indians uprising. / believe the Indians
to be for the most part inclined to peace
and averse to war They are sufficiently
intelligent to understand at what fearful
disadvantage they would be in a war with
the United States. They know our vast
resources and are conscious of their own
weakness. Moreover, many reasons which
have existed among them for discomfort can
be, and by congressional action just had
will be, removed. Settlers in the vicinity
of the reservation have been frightened and
not without reason, and yet during all
the excitement and in spite of bit
ter provocation, the Indians have
not attacked the white people in
their homes, and so far as [ know they
have not seriously threatened their peace.
Those who have been or are really hostile
should unquestionably be disarmed and
their leaders severely punished. But dur
ing the late trouble in Dakota the great
body of the Sioux were friendly, and the
innocent should not suffer with the guilty.
TO make no distinction in treatment of In
dams who took part in the hostilities and
those who remained loyal, many of whom
suffered for their loyalty, would be an act
of injustice which the Indian is as quick to
recognize and resent as the white man.
1t would be a great hardship to these In
dams to lose their arms, which they greatly
prize. They use them in Strengthening their
cattle, in hunting, and in sport. 1t is with
some hesitation that l say, and | say it
only after careful deliberation and with
sincere sorrow that it must be said, that
greatly fear the Indians would not be safe,
either In their persons or in their property,
| if it were known they were entirely with
out guns for self-defense. Recent sad
events in Dakota, where it is said women
| and little children were shot down by sol
diers of the United States army and others
were anbuShed and slain without provoca-
ton by citizens have shown US how pitifully
| defenseless these poor creatures might be if
wholly unarmed and unable to protect them
selves.

WITH AN I'LL GRACE
Dubois Receives the News of
Beatty's disappointment.
GOVERNOR SEOUP is POPULAR
in Washington-Work of the Idaho Legis-
lature-An Amusing Incident-Trying
to Reduce the Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March Especial
telegram to THE HERALD. The President
to-day reappointed James H. Beatty
bois thought he wouldn't do it,
and he chuckled gleefully the other
day when the Senate turned Beatty down.
Dubois received the news to-day with an
ili-grace. He bears this new humiliation
as philosophically as possible; but he is
manifestly annoyed at it. Governor Shoup
read the intelligence with characteristic
good nature, and quietly said: 81 told you
So" That, in fact, is what everybody in
Washington, except Dubois, is saying,
which shows how little Dubois knows the
man in the White House. Beatty will now
serve until December next. He will prob
ably be confirmed, although Dubois and
some of his friends will fight him bitterly.
Claggett is still here, and expects to re-
main month. He is serenely confident
that he will be given Dubois seat, and in
his belief he is strongly supported by the
legal advisers of his acquaintance.
Governor Shoup leaves for New York
tomorrow and will start west from that
point, stopping over at several places en-
route During mis- brief senatorial career
Governor Shoup has made himself very pop
ular with his new colleagues. His modest
and gentlemanly manner has won for him
the esteem of the most prominent members
on both sides of the chamber, and it is safe
TO say that no member of the senatorial
body will receive more cordial welcome
on his return in December next than this
gentleman.
1t was Dubois intention to spend the
summer recess in Europe studying the
various methods of irrigation in vogue
there. He now feels that the trip must be
abandoned in view Of the contest which
Claggett is making for his seat. 1t is his
intention, he tells me, to return to Idaho
after brief visit to the Bahamas, and re-
main there until after the re- assembling of
Congress-

SYRACUSE, N. Y, March, .-Bob Fitzsim-
mons. the champion middle-weight pugilist
was the guest of Syracuse sporting men
to-day. When questioned in reference to
the report that he has talked of challeng-
ing Sullivan, Fitzsimmons said: "I have
no intention or desire to go against Sui
livan. 1 am ready to meet any man in the
world in my own class, but will not make
fool of myself by trying to fight men who
have the advantage of me in weight"
In regard to the challenge issued by Pat
Farrell, of Pittsburg, the Australian re-
marked: II shall pay no attention to that
fellow. Whom has he ever whipped any
how! When he defeats some one it will be
time for him to begin his fighting talk. He
is not in my class. He can't train down to
10 pounds to save his life"
AT the mention of Jim Halls name Fitz-
simmons exclaimed: 'Oh, yes, Ill take
care of him as soon as M match with Jack
McAuliffe is off my hands. Hall is heavier

to 100 pounds and keep his strength.

CALDWELL, Idaho, March Especial
telegram to The HERALD. IA few days
ago the following appeared in the Salt Lake
Tribune: "Nampa, Idaho, Feb. 27.-The

tions from Boise City, Star and many
places in the county, with a generous
sprinkle of good friends from Salt Lake,
are here"
To-day Caldwell is wild with Joy over the
passage of the bill, and the signature of
the governor. Miles of bunting are float
ing to the breezes, cannon are booming,
drums beating, and eloquent orators are
enthusing the multitude The Nampa-
Boise faction counted. too sure on their

day. Ballentine was to be hung in effigy
but better counsel prevailed. Nampa and
Boise are out $1,000. They admit that
Caldwell was too much for them, and are
correspondingly sore. To night grand bon
fires will be built, and the grandest celebra-
ton ever. seen in Idaho will take place.

The Kansas Legislature.

TOPEKA, Kan, March AT noon to- day
the sixty days session for which the legis-

The senate last night organized as a
court of impeachment for the trial of Judge
Botkin, of the Sixth judicial district, and
until the court is dissolved the senator's

patriotism of the representatives will be
tested by their being obliged to serve un-
requited. The senate is, therefore, in a
position to insist upon all their amend
ments to bills and can delay consideration

each regiment will be made within the de-
partment in which the regimental head

ing such enlistment will be governed by

mender, temporarily attach to Indian com
panies such officers as are especially fitted
for service Herewith. Ultimately non

detailed. The number of enlisted Indian
scouts will be reduced without unnecessary
delay to $50, apportioned as follows among
the several departments: Dakota, %;
