CHINA'S FAULT.

Lieut.. Commander J. S, Merrill,
of the U. S. S. Baltimore, has just
traversed 5000 miles Of Inland
China. He was special commits
sioner to investigate, on behalf OF
the United States, the riots of last
year directed against the mission
aires and their properties. He Wis
tied sections where a white man
was a genuine curiosity. Lieut..
Merrill had a considerable escort
and was accompanied by an I'M
perial guard. The government did
everything possible to facilitate his
inquiry. So far the commissioner
has been able to state publicly only
the following:
81 may tell what the public would be
glad to know: That in no single in
stance did we find that any of the out
RACES had been caused by any rashnes'
or imprudence on the part of the mis-
sionaires. In general they seem to have
arisen from the absolutely unsettled
condition of China, due to the war witt
Japan"

REFUNDLNG AGAIN.

A very close vote defeated the
Senator McCandless refunding pro-
position. 1t may be brought up
again. However, it would seem
useless, considering the attitude Of
the Cabinet, for the Senate to
bother further with the matter.
This last defeat was due in some
measure to the statement of the
Minister of Finance that the EX-
ecutive would not care to under
take conversion on the terms pro-
posed in the resolution that was
negatived. 1t seems that
decision was reached in
a Ministerial conference within
the past three or four days. This
was an advance condemnation of
possible Senate act. At present
the situation is that first the Senate
and then the Cabinet refused to
compromise as to refunding, If
there is any earnestness at all in
the desire for a reduction of the
debt interest rate an understanding
will be reached at this session or
excellent reasons furnished for al
lowing the business to remain as
il now is.

A TEACHER HIMSELF.

Negus Menelek, Emperor Of
Abyssinia, whose hordes of black
warriors have routed Italian in
vaders, argues, and to purpose, with
a visiting missionary, F. S. R.
Clarke, a Britisher. The latter,
after a season Of what he measured
as resultless work, demonstrated
vito the Monarch for a seeming
disregard of both prayer and pious
solicitude. Nothing has been heard
from Mr.. Clarke by way of response
since he received a letter from
Menelek which included these ex-
pressions:
"You are mistaken in believing that
do not care for your prayers. All
prayers of believers are dear to me,
even when they come from the child
rem of Europe. Not all are aggressors
in my kingdom; not all commit the
iniquity of attacking those whom they
hope to find weaker than themselves;
not all have bent the knee before Baal,
the god of destruction and the slaught-
erer of brothers. Many am sure, still
truly adore the God of the Cross, the
God of justice and of peace. With
them feel in perfect communion Of
faith, and am happy that they pray
for me, for my household, and my peo-
pie.
what you need is to return to our
God, TO observe all his ordinances, to no
longer separate Moses and the prophets
from the apostles, or st. Peter from st.
Paul. Whoever wishes to serve God
must humble himself and obey. You
know that, envoy of God. Teach il in
Europe and Asia. / am having 1t
taught in Africa.
