MISSIONARIES IN CHINA
THE LATE TROUBLES LEAD TO
BETTER TREATMENT.
The Governments Experience With
Germany Causes 1t to Read the Riot
Act to Local Officials.

China's experience with Germany is
leading to better treatment of mission
aries in the Celestial Empire. An I'm
perial decree, dated January 18th, has
been issued in connection with the
missionary massacre in Shantung By
this decree the dismissed governor,
the Taotai of Yenchow, Tsaochow,
Chinchow and Tsaichow, the com
mander of Tsaochow, and Shao, the
project of Tsaochow-fu, have been
been handed over to the Board of
Punishments for the consideration of
penalties. The magistrate of Chuy-
ehhsien, where the massacre took
place, having neglected to report the
matter and to arrest the murderers
promptly, has been dismissed forever
from official service. The magistrate
of IIanchang. where the German
church was destroyed, is also to be
handed over to the Board, and the ma
tive authorities of some district
where conflicts took place between
foreign missionaries and native mobs,
have been dismissed. The Emperor
adds that he is very sorry to see such
disastrous events occurring in
a province so well known as the seat
of knowledge and enlightenment. and
he emphatically warns the higher au-
thorities in the province to prevent
such incidents for the future and he
warns the people to refrain from such
foolish and vicious acts.
The Chinese government has also
taken action with reference to 1t
small riot which occurred at Wei-Hal-
Wei, when an attempt was made to
pull down the house of a foreign mis-
sionary. Proclamations have been al
so posted up on all market villages of
the hsien saying "that all should now
know that by treaty between the two
countries English subjects had the
right to reside in the ports and other
parts of China: to rent or buy land
or houses at just prices, and that in
ali cases they must be protected by
the local authorities. who would GER

disposed people who caused disturb

tality. have upon a sudden changed their
natures and practices? Do they not hate
the Yankees worse than ever they hated
the CuDans? Have they not been schooNd
to look upon the Yankees as the most
despicable of mankind? Have they not
been taught to believe that the Yankees
are mean and cowardly, and are relying
solely upon numbers to grind Spain into
the earth? Is it at all surprising unlike
ly. therefore, that Spanish troops coming
upon the dead bodies of their American
foes should have mutilated them? Was 1t
not the signal, the contrary, for the
brute in the Spaniard to rise and master
him?
But let the responsibility be placed where
it belongs. Spanish soldiers except as
fighting machines are poor lot. They are
densely ignorant. Sixty-eight out of every
hundred are unable to read or write. They
are naturally cruel. Even their sports are
brutal They are easily the victims, there
fore, of fraud and deception. They have
been nouriShed on lies about America and
Americans. Their leaders, soldiers, sailors,
statesmen and even churchmen, have
played upon their ignorance and prejudices,
and Whetted their appetite for Yankee
blood. Underfed and unpaid. they may
only be managed by appealing to their ami
NAL pride and side, and by deluding them
with falsehoods which easily convert them
into brutes in battle

Threats of FiIibuaters.

The late Senator Harris of Tennessee,
roted for his skill as a parliamentarian,
for the force of his personal vocabulary
and for the Steadfastness of his intentions,
declared with characteristic emphasis on
Tie eve of the passage of the bill repeating
the silver purchasing clause of the Sher
man law that he would skate over the sur-
face of the neither regions before he wouli
permit t12 enactment of that measure. His
attitude was typical of that of consider
able group of sci ators who opposed the re-
peal of the Sherman act. He and they
were dogged in their insistence that the
minority should prevail and that Congress
should adjourn without accomplishing Tie
srecific purpose for which it assembled in
extra session. Within a week after this
declaration was put forth the Senate had
passed the bill.
So much for one of the most determined
fibusters on record. 1t was marked by
great persistence on the part of the silver
MEN. 1t was conducted with skill, and,
moreover. it was supported by a consdera-
tle percentage of the American people,
who. though misguided were nevertheless
eager for continuance of the practice
that was draining the resources of the
government. 1t was not such a filbuster,
dS lar DIS tHe people We're concerned, as
this attempt to defeat Hawaiian annexa-
ticn is certain to be. The men engaged n
ii Were sustained in the main by at least
their own local constituencies.
The repeal fight in the Senate lasted two
months and one day. 1t ended in a victory
for the majority of the Senate. The col
lapse Of the filibLstering efforts of the free
silver men greatly strengthened the gen.
eral cause of prompt action in the upper
house and since then there has been prac-
ucally no revival of the spirit of obstruc-
ton that finds strength in the absence
fom the Senate's rules of procedure of
any method of closing debate. The en-
emies of Hawaiian annexation are now
vehement in declaring that they will re-
main here all summer rather than permit
the New lands resolution to come to a vote
They are thus in effect repeating the threat
OF Senator Harris. They will follow him.
assuredly, in yielding to the inevitable.

Points Missed by Mr.. Morrill,.


FROM the New York Press.
As Senator Morrill, is about the only
member of the opposition to the Hawaiia 4
| ainexation who will be listened to with re-
! 81 ect, it is TO be regl letted that he could
not have introduced some contemporary
human interest into his consideration of
the subject yesterday. None of the point &;
presented, either by the war with Spain
or the partition of China, was touched
upon by the senator. His speech was aim
ed wholly a a condition of affairs existing
at the time of the negotiation Of the treaty
"a time when its supporters merely iust
fled ii on the g'ounds, cogent but rot i'm
porious, that it was cheaper to take it than
| leave it. This being the case when there
was only Japan TO be reckoned with whe t
| Is it now with hostile Europe encamned on
! the further side of the Pacific and eyeing
| this group as the strategic key of the
North Pacific and the one certain avenue
| OF approach to oGr western shores? 1t Is,
a pity for the anti-annexationist cause thar
| It's only remaining conscientious advocate
could not have treated this phase OF the
| question.
But an occurr ence reported from Hon
| oluiu only the day before Senator Morrill, :
| speech was delivered even more urgently
demanded attention at the hands of this
venerable statesman, whose repute is 50
| nigh that he may row without reproach in
| this strange galley of Sugar Trust agent;
| and general cussedness democrats; may
even stroke their boat. That occurrence
| was the enthusiastic reception of the first
| brigade of the army of the Philippines by
| the people of Honolulu and the CONSEQUENT
| protest of the resident Spanish consul
| Itat brig 1de comprised little more than
one-tenth of the army that will cross the
Pacific this summer If the islands are not
annexed toe protest must, even upon the
| initiative of the United States, be re-
sEected. This country is the last one in
the world that can afford to establish such
a precedent the disembarkment and re-
ft6shmcnt of troops the shores of A
weak neutral power to the breach of that
| powers neutrality.
