Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-08-26

REV, PETER c. SCOTT. has just set out from Philadelphia for the region of the Sudan, the most dangerous mission field ill the world.
 The party is under the leadership of the Rev. Peter Cameron Scott, an en- thusiastic and determined young clergy man. He has spent seven of the 2S years of his life i'll Africa, two years of that time ill the interior of the dark conti nent. Among those who will accompany him on his perilous mission is his sis ter, Miss Margaret Scott, who has re- gently returned from missionary work on the Kongo river. Before beginning their pilgrimage to darkest Africa they expressed the belief that they would be successful ill overcoming the supersti- tions and bitter prejudices of the say ages and were full of hope and courage.
 It is the purpose of MT. Scott and his associates to land at Mombasa, on the eastern coast of Africa, and proceed at once to Mount Kilima-NjarO, where station will be established From this point the missionaries will work north ward along the mountains of the Sudan.
 Little if any Christian missionary work has hitherto been done ill this vast region of eastern Africa, where there are 9O,OO0, 900 people wholly without the teachings of the gospel. It is ac- knowledged to be the most perilous mis- sion field in the world, both on account of the climate and the bitter hatred and hostility of the Moslems, who hold al- most undisputed sway ill that portion of the dark continent Facing the dangers of disease, the savage natives and the bloodthirsty and marauding Arabs, this little band of Christian teachers carry their lives i'll their hands, and that some or all of them will be sacrificed on the altar of their devotion seems more than probable

THE Chinese uprisings against foreigners are likely to bring those exceedingly troublesome people into serious trouble; but haven't they learned something of. the business from the "out- side barbarians' themselves? Let us look at home, for example, and try to remember if we have not made it rather difficult for Chinamen to come hither. Perhaps, in their semi civilized way, they have failed to see the opposition to them from our oint of view and imagine that in agitating for the expulsion of foreigners from their soil they are simply retaliating in kind, according to their lights. They may have their ideas of sauces mixed up and cannot see that what is sauce for the goose should not be sauce for the gander. Then, too, they may have heard of and treasured in their memories the utterances of sand lot orators against the Chinese in California, which were scarcely less sangul- nary than are those against foreigners in China.

OuAY'S BIG FIGHT.

 Harrisburg For the Contest.

Harrisburg For the Contest.
 HARRIsBU RG, Aug. 26.-All the promi- nent Republican leaders in the state will be in Harrisburg before the sun sets to- night. Many of them arc already here, and the incoming trains are crowded with delegates and others interested in the fight for the control of the Earty machinery. The state convention will not meet until Wednesday, but the interest in the Quay Gilkeson contest for the craftsmanship ot the state committee is so intense that all other matters are temporarily forgotten.
 Today the rival factions are chiefly con cerned about the making up of the roll of delegates for the convention, each side in sisting that the other is ready to do things that are not strictly legitimate, even in a struggle of this kind. Both factions have made up a roll, Chairman Gilkeson's list seating the Quay delegates in Schuylkill and Elk counties and the Hastings dele gates in the First and Fifth districts os Philadelphia, Wyoming, Northumberland and Bradford counties, which are contest ing districts.
 The state committee will meet this aft ernoon and proceed to make a roll of del egates. It may alRo unhorsc Chairman Gilkeson unless he puts in an appearance at the meeting. If he fails to be present, a committee will be sent to get him, and should he then absent himself the com- mittee will probably elect another chair man in his place.
 The Quay people regard the battle as practically over and say the administra- tion leaders are simply blutfing. Conserva- tive men think it is an exceedingly close fight.

DURANT's TRIAL RESUMED.
The Defense Tries to Implicate the Pastor
 of Emanuel Church.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The trial of Theodore Durant for the murder of Blanche Lamont was resumed today. When Durant's preliminary examination for the Lamont murder was being held, Rev. J. Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church, was asked by Durant's counsel if he had ever been pastor of a church in Romany street, London, and he said he had not.
 The defendants counsel say that a Rev. Joseph Gibson, while pastor of the Roma ny street church became involved in a scandal through attempted familiarities with the ladies in his congregation. He was compelled to leave England and came to America. The defendants counsel in- sinuate that the two Gibsons are one and the same.
 Robert Lynch, MT. Gibsons private secretary, said that Jesse and George Gib- son were fellow students at Spurgeon's college in London, and they formerly preached at the Romany street church. Lynch declares Jesse has always borne a good reputation.

Rev. Taylor, Of the M. Il. Church,
preached very instructive aud in
teresting sermon, his text being: "He
hath not dealt 50 with any other
people," He spoke of the many priv
ileges this country enjoyed and said
he doubted that any, that could not
be happy in this nation, where so
many privileges were to be enjoyed,
could be happy in heaven. This was
a nation where all could worship ac-
cording to the dictates Of their own
conscience. 1t would be great mis-
fortune IL we were ruled by king
who should issue an edict that all
should worship according to the
Roman Catholic faith, under pen
atty of death or Punishment, and it
would be equally as unfortunate if
ruled by king, who should demand
that all worship according to the
tenets of the Methodist church. This
was a country founded upon liberty
to all, where all denominations,
whether Protestant or Catholic, could
worship God according to the die
tates of their conscience, with none
to modest or make them afraid"
