one of the truly great men. not only of this age

rebellion was for that Of 1862. The latter lasted
for seventeen years. and severely taxed the re-
sources of the whole Empire. Indeed, had the
rebels been as wise and as persistent as 'hey
were at first successful. they would have made

let their armies break up into small bands OF

Whether or not they will prove more wise AT
this time remains to be seen. The Tunsans. a.
they are called, are as a race decidedly superior

tars They are powerful and active of body, ana
highly intelligent and qulck-wlttcd. In battle
they are fierce and valiant, and single one OF
them has been known to put regiment or chi
nese to flight. In trade they are, like many
Mahometans, distinguished for integrity. In
morals, also, they are far better than the Chi
nese, and they are not, like the latter. patrons

THE SITUATION As TO THE CUP.

When Lord Dunraven ingloriously backed out
of his engagement to race for the Americas Cup
there was general wish, In spite OF the aston
jshment and indignation which his extraordinary
performance created. that he might have an
other chance under better conditions FOR DOM
contestants II possible Such n concession nav
ing for various reasons proved impractlcaDle, the
hone remained that Lord Dunraven might
change his view of the whole matter, including
his own conduct, upon mature reflection, and
perhaps come again another year, with better
boat. in a more rational temper to fight an hon
orobe battle TO an honorable finish. But natu-
rally it was a special satisfaction under the cir
cumstances to receive an early challenge from
Mr.. Rose for race next year, nasmuch as 1t
seemed to indicate full confidence on his part
and that Of others that an English yachtsman
could always rely on fair treatment In this coul-
fry: and the first feeling which his sudden with
drawa produced was feeling of disappoint-
mcnt at the disappearance of a cheerful prospect,
mingled with some amusement over the singular
posture in which Mr. Rose had conrlved TO put
himself We are not sure that the dlsappolnt-
mcnt will or ought TO last long. The prevailing
opinion concerning Lord Dunraven. not TOO
favorable before, has not been changed for the
better by the recent disclosure OF his lnoiNc Ill
demanding n rcmeasurement OF the Defender.
He affected to believe that she was longer on the
water-line than the official report had made her,
which practically amounted TO an accusation
that he had been swindled Whether the dis
proof Of his suspicion increased his irritation
and thus influenced bis subsequent conduct we
have no means OF knowing with certainty. but
the incident does not tend to enhance our regret
at Mr. Roses withdrawal out Of regard for Lord
Dunraven's feelings.
On the whole, it seems to Us that international
Yachting is in somewhat similar case with
YaleHarvard athletic competitions. There is
this difference, Chat both Yale and Harvard are
TO blame for the existence Of conditions which
make an interval of nonlntercourse desirable;
whereas no blame rests upon American yachts
men or the American public for the attitude of
Lord Dunraven and his friends. If another
challenge, without string to it. should come
from any honorable source. no obstacles should
be put in the way Of its acceptance; but 1t might
be Just as well, or even little better, If more
than a year should intervene before another race
for the Americas Cup with British competitor.

tbe revised version will displace 1t In these
regards. Scholars admit the greater accuracy
Of the revised version especially since the Old

book of 1911 has so imbedded itself in the lie
and literature of the English-speaknS peoples
that its hold on them would hardly be disturbed
by a revelation from on high.
The appearance Of the Apocrypha next month
will not arouse much popular interest. 1t Is nor
likely that It will be telegraphed to Chicago as
the revised New Testament was on the day OF
its issue in this city For average Protestants
know very little about the Apocryphal DOCKS,
and care less Even in the Episcopal Church,
which gives them a quasi recognition, they exer-
else no influence. Nevertheless, these ancient
Hebrew books arc valuable historical records,
even though they may not stand on the same
plane OF inspiration with the rest OF the BlDle.
And n more thorough and intelligent study of
Them will throw much needed light on the
canonical books Of the Old Testament, For
this reason scholars will examine with great
interest the translation so soon TO ap-

OF some conservative Christians, Its revision ana

these books will inevitably show their lnferorlty

similar outbreak Of 1862 Nearly the whole
Province Of Kan-Su, part Of Shen-Si, and much

The local troop; were unable to cope with the
rebels and some time ago an army was sent
from Picking TO Lan-Chow. At first it inflicted
some punishment upon the rebels, but they have
rallied, swcIlcd their forces and turned the tables
completely. The Picking army Is now held In
check by them at Lan-Chow. which city they
are bcseging. and new districts are almost daily
raising the standard Of revolt. AT present there
are nearly half million fighting men In the
field. mostly near Lan-Chow Su-Chow and Sin
Ming. while Kashgar and Yarkand are on the
verge Of proclaimlne their independence.
This revolt Is only the latest Of a series OF
religious wars which have occurred at intervals
during the Inst thousand years, or ever since the
Introduction Of Mahometansm into the Chinese
Empire. They have invariably broken out when
China was in trouble elsewhere. The Japanese
war was the signal FOR this one, as the Tai.Png
