CHRISTMAS.
Facts Which show That This Holiday Is
Christ's birthday.


Is to-day the veritable anniversary OF
the birth Of Jesus OF Nazareth? 1t is
a question often asked, but never quite
satisfactorily answered. Reyerent pre-
disposition can always find sufficient
evidence to answer yes, while IL is TO be
noted that the question OF itself inn
plies a degree OF religious skepticism.
Men have even stood in pulpits with
little enough TO do 10 devote an hours
oratory to the disproof oft. IT. is quite
as certain that Jesus was born on the
25th OF December as that Augustus,
the emperor under whom he was born,
was born in the sixty-third year before
him. or that Tiberius, the emperor
under whom he died, came into the
world forty-two years, one month and
nine days before him. That Is TO say, IL
is the decent habit of the world to ac-
cept what testimony, tradition and his
tory have to offer concerning the birth
days of the great and Herewith be con-
tent.
1t Is certain that.as early as the year
$50 the date we now celebrate was uni
versally recognized among Christians
without a question as their S~aviour's
natal day. That fact alone Is all-suf-
ficient for succeeding generations. II
all records and illusions TO the date OF
the birth Of George Washington were
to be blotted from all American writ
ings earlier than 1900 il would be suf-
fcient for postcrity that at the begin
nino OF the twentieth century the ed
of February was universally recognized.
and that the day was observed as a legal
holiday. This Is the best foundation
we have for the authenticity Of Decem-
Der 25 as the birthday of Jesus.
In the year $40 st. Justin Martyr, the
first great Christian ~npologist, said hat
the best record cxtant Of the birthday
Of Christ was 70 be found in the archives
at Rome. Addressing the emperor and
Roman senate. he said: There Is a cer-
tain village in the hand Of Judea. dis

Tertullinn said the same thing: "Fi-
nally, concerning the census enrolment
OF Augustus, which the Roman archives
preserve as n faithful witness or the
Lords nativity" Any man in the nine
tecnth century who wants more ex-
plicit proof OF a matter that is not OF

Death OF the Distinguished Bacteri-

Death Of the Distinguished Bacteri-
ologist.
PARIS, Sept. 2s.-Louis Pasteur, the
eminent bacteriologist, died this after
noon at 5 o'clock. NJ. Pasteur died at
Garches, near st. Cloud, in the en-
virons of this city.
Professor Louis Pasteur has suffered
from paralysis for a considerable pc
riod of time. About eight days ago
he sustained a violent paralytic
stroke and yesterday suffered still an
other attack. He grew worse rapidly
and remained in comatose condition
during his last hours.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon he ex-
pired The end was absolutely with
out pain. His wife devotedly watched
by his bedside. His son, his physi-
clan, his daughter and his son-in-law,
NJ. Valteryadot, and two children
were present when he passed away.
1t is believed that the funeral of NJ.
Pasteur will be national in character.
Professor Pasteur has been gradually
failing in health for some months and
recently the French papers announced
the beginning of the end. This report
was emphatically denied by his fam
lily and friends. They acknowledged
the feeble condition of the distin-
guished bacteriologist, but attributed
it to local rather than to general
causes.

British Men-of-Wnr Moving up the
Yang Tee Kiaug River.
LONDON eng, Sept. 2S.-The de-
monstration of a powerful British
squadron proceeding up the Yang Use
Kiang is the sequence of the tacit re-
fusal of the Peking government to
satisfy the demands Of the Marquis of
Salisbury for the punishment of the
late Viceroy of SZechuen, whom Brit
ish Minister O'Connor reported to be
responsible for the outrages beginning
in May at the mission stations at
Cheng Tu, which were followed by
the massacre at Kucheng.
The Viceroy's term of Office expired
and he left Cheng Tu, and the Peking
government tried to induce Minister
O'Connor to believe that the with
drawal Of the Viceroy had been en-
forced and that this action on the part
of China ought TO satisfy the British
government. Lord Salisbury, how
ever, instructed the British Minister
that nothing would suffice less than
public imperial decree bsnishing the
Viceroy beyond the frontiers of China,
with statement that the crime for
which he was punished was neglect to
afford protection to the missions. This
action of Lord Salisbury appears to
have been prompted by the convic-
tion,' doubtless based upon Foreign
Office reports, that the Chinese liter
att abetted by most of the higher Off
cials, foment agitation against Euro
peans generally and not against the
missions alone, and that the degreda-
tion of the Viceroy of Szechuen would
be blow to the literati and an effect
i've example to the whole of China.
The decisive attitude of England
disposes Of the report that the Foreign
Office entertained a proposal 10 with
draw the missionaries to treaty ports.
1t Is understood the United States
government, although not actively
cooperating with the British govern
ment, has been informed of and ap-
proves of the latter's plans to protect
the missions, which involve the
strongest practical measures in the
event Of the squadron demonstration
not proving sufficient to wake up the
government at PekiDg.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Minister
DENLY cabled the State Department
today from Pekin as follows:
1.-THE Yamep have telegraphed the
authorities of Shensi to appoint an
officer to escort the Commission. The
edict will issue in few days punish
ing officials aud degrading the Vice.
roy. Will telegraph it"
This message refers to the indepen-
dent American commission formed to
investigate the Cheng Tu missionary
riots. The edict to which reference is
made is supposed to be about to issue
as result of the French investigation
of the Cheng Tu affair, and the Vice
roy concerned is probably Liu. 1t is
expected that the American commits
sion, headed by United States Consul
Reid, will be on the road from Tien-
tsin to Cheng Tu in few days.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch
to the World from Foochow, China,
says: The whole Foochow commits
sion of inquiry into the Haw Sang
massacre is disgusted with Chinese
official duplicity. All of the members
feel that unless they are more strongly
supported than now they had better
return TO Foochow.
The Chinese officials are openly
furious toward Christians for giving
10 the foreign Consuls the names of
the murderers. The perfect, it is re.
ported, threatens vengeance upon the
departure of the commission.
The magistrate issued three weeks
ago an offensive proclamation. On
demand Of the Consuls another pro-
clamation was issued publicly, but
the offensive one was reissued private
ly to all heads of villages. The result
is that disorder is spreading. The
commissions position is perilous. The
total destruction of the Christians
work is probable.
HoNGKoNG, Sept. 2S.-Obstruction
of the inquiry by the foreign Consuls
into the Kucheng massacre OF August
is still kept up by the Chinese off,
cials. Forty men suspected of COM
plicity in the riots have been liberated
by the local authorities without the
consent of the Consuls.
Mr.. Mansfield, British Consul at
Kucheng, has been insulted by Chi
nese soldiers. The Consuls are con-
sidering the advisability of returning
10 Foochow and referring the matter
to their respective Governments.
BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-The Nord Deut-
scher Allgemein-Zeitung says that the
German men-of-war in the far east

JAPAN'S POLITICAL STRENGTH.
Walter G. Smiths Comparison Be-
tween China and japan.

A large and deeply interested
audience listened last night in
Golden Gate Hall to an instruc.
tive lecture entitled "The War
Between Japan and China" deliv-
cred by Walter Clifford Smith, as
sistant city editor of the Chronicle
and war correspondent of that
paper in Japan, China, Korea and
Hawaii, says the San Francisco
Call. A hundred stereopticon
views from photographs, taken
while on the march or under the
fire Of Chinese guns, were displayed
during the narrative, bringing the
Oriental campaign vividly before
the mind.
Mr.. Smith was introduced by
Fred d'Evelyn, president of the
Geographical Society, and said in
part:
The war between China and Japan,

early as 1870. For hundred years
the relations between the two nations
were strained; but China, then in her
bow-and-arrow stage, was not anxious
to engage in hostilities.
Not until the summer of 1894 did
any European cabinet believe ii DOS
sible that Japan would take the offan-
sive. China was always regarded as
brooding lion by all the world that
needed only to be awakened to cause
havoc among the greater nations.
The Chinese at first refused to re-
ceive the Embassadors of foreign na-
tions, and afterward only on condition
that they crawl before the Emperor's
presence. They held the Japanese to
be not men but "baboons," and worthy
of no consideration whatever.

near the year 1870. Her court was
transferred from a fantastic oriental

iapspese Prisoners, Complains.

The statements of the eleven Japan
ese prisoners uncluding one soldier
and ten coolies), who were recently
returned by China, show that they
were robbed OF all the money they had
carried with them and subjected to
the crnelest treatment and tortures.
Every one of them had his hair
shaven off in the Chinese style, leav-
ing lock in the center of the head so
as to make a queue in time. When
they were returned, they were given
Chinese dresses and shoes and four
taels each But this favor was
mockery as the sums they had been
plundered of were much more than
they received.-Japan Gazette.
