Concerning the Russian thistle pest
the Aberdeen Naws says: Unity of
action must be had by North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska. Let the govern
ment call to their assistance experts and
devise necessary legislation to be follow
ed by all the states to be put in execu-
tion at the same time. The weed can be
stamped out in two years by putting in

doubt require considerable money, but

ance as the stamping out of the Russian

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Tnformation
has reached here that the Chinese gov.
eminent will appoint an ambassador to
proceed to Japan to treat for peace. AS
the former government is anxious for
peace, the ambassador will promptly
start for Toxic, o. more probably Hiro-

that Count Ito and, in all probability,
MIR. Mutsu, the Japanese minister OF

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Dec. I0-A
secret caucus Of Kolb's friends here
was attended by nearly all the Populist
leaders in the state. Some of Kolb's
adherents wanted to precipitate matters
and seat Kolb as governor, but this was
strongly opposed. Finally the follow
ing compromise resolution was adopted
and it may be taken as the sense of the
Populists as to the dual government.
Resolved-That we act inside 81 the

Legislature closes, and If d fair election
law is passed, as well as q fair contest
law. by which the last state election

fail or refuse to pass the two acts above
referred to. or shall pass any oppressive

THE WAR AND THE MISSIONS.
Where They Are Located and the Possible
Danger to Them.

w mere Ah%y are Located and the Possible
Danger to Them.
Every one interested in mission work
in eastern Asia will watch with concern
the war which has just broken out,
anxious lest any personal friends be in
danger and mission enterprises be seri-
ously hampered. The fact that ali three
countries involved are mission fields
and that the prominent cities of all are
occupied with a greater or less force Of
missionaries makes it necessary to look
ut the situation fairly and candidly.
In Korea the Presbyterian board 90
Cupies Seoul, Fusan and Gensan on the
east coast and Pyeng- Yang in the in
terror. OF these Fusan and Gensan are
the only places liable to injury from
the Japanese feet. But the work in
both places ia comparatively recent and
not SO well established as at Seoul. The
Methodist board has little established
work outside Of Seoul and has with
drawn all its missionaries from the in
terror stations to that city.
The Society For the Propagation Of
the Gospel, Church of England, has
some missionaries at Seoul and Che
mulpo. In Seoul the missionaries are
practically safe, being under the care
of the United States legation and the
protection of United States soldiers
from the ship-of-war at Chemulpo, the
port of Seoul. So far as Korea is con-
cerned, therefore, there need be NO great
anxiety.
In Japan the principal port that may
fear attack from the Chinese feet is
Nagasaki, occupied by the Reformed
church, the Methodist Episco-
pal church and the Church Missionary
of England. It is probable, how
ever, according to the latest reports,
that tho foreign fleets will protect this
city, and thus the missionaries there
need fear no attack. The same may be
said of Yokohama and Tokyo, where al
most all of the missionary boards are
represented.
Attention will be especially attracted
to China. for there, aside from the dan
ger of injury from the Japanese fleets,
there is the still greater danger Of inju-
~ from the hostility % the people. The
action Of the foreign governments in
enforcing tha neutrality of the ports of
Canton, Ningro, Chin Kiang,
Fuchau, Shanghai. Hankow and Tien-
tsin, all of which are mission stations,
the situation very much, as
there are very few other cities along the
coast that might suffer from an attack,
almost the only Il of Importance be-
ing Chefu, where the Presbyterian
and the China Inland mission
have a large force cf laborers and con-
siderable property.
The greatest danger. however, to the
missionaries, as we have said, is not
from the japanese fleets, but from the
hostility of the Chinese to all foreigners
without drawing distinction between
and Americans ON the one
hand and the hated Japanese. indie
