IN the Chinese pantheon, and during
this generation his fame has been
increasing He IS carried before the
Chinese army, during this past was
and all battles were fought in his
name, In 1S56 he appeared in the
heavens, as Castor and Pol!ux did
10 the Romans, and successfully
turned the tide of battle in favor OF
the Imperiallsts, for which the EN-
peror raised him to the rank Of Con-
fucius. There are l,60o state tenn
pies at which the mandarins wor-
ship twice q month, besides the
smaller temples where sacrifices of
sheep and oxen are offered to him.
In every camp, IN every tent, in
every officers room, you will find
this idol. His worship is not con-
fined to the officials and the army,
for many trades and professions
have selected him as the patron saint
and few pictures are SO familiar, as
one looks into the homes of the peo.

executioner knife is kept within
the sacred precincts Of his temple,

Ed. TIMEs:-We have again watch
ed the close of another important
war, in which Uncle Sans ministers
and citizens haye been most infiuen
tial in securing terms of peace.
China has accepted Japan's terms,
but in so doing it seems like another
war is almost at hand, ana more
severe war still. Russia has said
that Japan can not own a single foot
of land in either China or Corea.
and that after certain date Russia
will lombard any forts which Japan
will then be occupying.
1 shall not speak about the I'M
pending war between Japan and
Russia at present, but will await it's
development. When 1 was in Yoko-
hama Japanese official said to me
that they would first bring China to
their feet and then they would pre-
pare to fight Russia, Truly there
is no nation SO patriotic as Japan,
and if they should meet nation
half so patriotic the results of such
a war would be terrible

success to Uncle Sans colleges and
institutions. While she does not

China owes her defeat to her idol

was fortunate enough to obtain from
Ling Dung IA Chinese Officially an
idol which had been worshiped IN
his family for hundreds of years. A
history of the idol l will now relate:
Name, kwan lao-yie; kwan means
the official lao, old; vie, sir; 1.-The
official old sir" kwan-lao-yie was
general in the time of San Kwoa, or
when the Chinese nation was divided
into three governments, Han, Wei
and Wee, which existed from A D
221 10 4. D. 265. In history it is
called the VIII period or After
Hand Dynasty. The Wee Dynasty
was the rightful dynasty descending
from Heaven. In 265 4. D., General
Kwau-lao- vie, Of the Wee dynasty,
by his valor and bravery, restored
the Chinese government by reunit-
ing the three i'll one. For this he
was considered a god and is known
as the Protector Of Officials and his
image is worshiped by the Emperor
and all Chinese officials. Through
Rev. G. Cornwell. a Presbyterian
missionary of Chefoo, I obtained the
idol from Ljng-dung. a high and
well known Chinese official who fol.
| lowed General Sung in the capture
of Manchure.
Ling dung has charge of the gov
ernment property about fifty miles
interior from Chefoo. He was con
verted to christianity about two
wears ago and said that all his life
he had worshiped this idol and was
yerv Jealous as all officials are IL

began to dawn upon them. The
wind howled and a dense pail of
fog hung over the ship as she tossed
by the surges and began to pound
herself to pieces upon the rocks.
She rose snd fell three times and
then a crash was heard. This was
followed by silence for the space OF
a quarter of minute, during which
time low sobbing was heard and

which another crash was heard. The

the first crash in the hull the ship
began to reel from its upright bal
auce, to settle and to sink in its free

The scenes about the life boats
were indescribable. According to
ali the testimony obtainable, the
panic stricken passengers and the
ships forces struggled for first

crew be it said that few of the sailors
or ships people lost their presence

record he has made in the Senate ii
is fair to presume that his consti-
