Y. M. C. AS IN CHINA.
Lots of Serious ceiestlais Join la sA.
 Work.

Amid the fiscouragenents which the recent revolution in Picking has occa- stoned to those concerned in China's welfare-for the movement in question Is manifestly anti-reform, anti-foreign. and consequently anti-Christian- there are many signs that such oppo- sltion can not radically hinder this country's enlightenment. Such sign is the progress of the Y. M c. A. move ment among Chinese youths, which ia assuming considerable importance, es- pecially in connection with mission schools. It was found desirable to in- vite from America an experienced worker in this department; and though 1t will be some time before this gen. tleman can speak Chinese, there is no difficulty in the matter of interpreters, native or foreign
 Yesterday in our large Shanghai mls- sion church, says a eorrespondent.th there were gathered 200 Chinese boy scholars from various mission schools in and near Shanghai all of whom were either members of the local Y. M c. 4. or willing to join it. Earnest addresses were given and prayers offered both in English and Chinese, the English ad- dresses being admirably translated by Christian Chinaman; while the bright aYnn singing of those strong young voices was delightful sound. At the close of the morning meeting prayers were distributed to the boys containing questions to be answered In writing and a form of Christian en- gagement to be signed At the after noon service many of these were re- turned most satisfactorily and intelii- gently filled in.

AoAxED A WORLD.
Andre. Reported Death the Joke 0f
 Russian Physloisn.

Russian PhTstoash
 If the statement made recently by 3 St. Petersburg journal is true, the le port that Andre and his two coA1pseH ions had been found in a cabin nsaa Krasnoiarsk is the result of a nuss joke. It is more than probable, since the investigations set on foot by tns Russian government have reYeaiee nothing. that the iIl-fated e1ploio .. never reached the shore or hotth0i Asia: it is even possible that he IS S7' alive. The story given out is that certain Siberian mine-owner, Wno ii'9o in the wilds of the steppe, wished 'o decoy out for a brief visit dear ltleuu of his. a physician of kFasnolatsh. k. hiS therefore wrote to him that Andre "n4 bis TWO companions had come down oH his mine. and that although they wished to keep their presence seetes for a few weeks, the learned ooc'c, might enjoy their conversation uut'' such time as they should choose so reveal their presence. and then sn@ss the honor of their discoveries. rue physician, however, smelt the mouse and replied by the next mall tna. Andre and his two companions could not have come to the mine-owner' 5 house. since their bodies had been found in an old cabin near Krasno- iarsk. Then followed the description of their supposed death, the details of which. in almost identical words ef the physician, the Russian govern ment caused to be cabled over ths world. For some reason the mall de- tectives, who open every letter either way. failed to catch the first Andre statement. but did open the report that he had been found by the Toun- gous. Such, at least. Is the version current in the capital of the aIl-om- niDotent czar. It Is possible, however, that both stories, that of Andres death, and then this explanation of It.. originated in the brain of some fertile space-writeF. Unless, indeed. the Rus sian newspapers are different from tAose of the rest of the world.

As you step from your carriage you see other gorgeous men of the bodyguard and knots of serY- ants of the household lOunging in the enormous hall.

Is In Favor of ExDansiOn,

Arthur Sewall of Maine, candidate
for vice president on the democratic
ticket in 1896, is in favor of expan-
siun. II do not care to express my
opinion. said Mr.. Sewall, upon Mr..
Bryan's attitude upon the question of
expansion. will tell you mine. how.
ever. While not professed expan.
sionist, believe we should hold the
Philippines. 1t is true we did not 60
to war with Spain for territorial ac-
quisition. Personally, I was opposed
to going to war for any snch purpose
But the islands have fallen into our
hands and to that extent they are ours
and expansion becomes fact. We
should not give them back to Spain.
With the proposition that they will be
troublesome to us, if retained, do not
concur. This country has proven it's
capacity to hold and control other ac-
quired territory and to settle other
great questions that came before it
during its existence as a republic and
I have faith in the ability of this gov
ernment to successfully hold and con-
troll its newly acquired possessions. I
do not consider the question Of expan-
sion vet as an issue.''

He WRITES FROM THE PHILIPPINES,
"A Nephew of Theodore Smith Describes
Soldiers Life in Manila,

Our soldiers are enjoying life in the
Fhlllpplnes these days doing guard duty
and viewing the havoc wrought by Ad-
lnlral Dewey prior to their arrival. Ac-
cordlng to letter received by Theodore
Smith, of this city, from his nephew,
q. w. Smith, who is member of
Company D, First Regiment, Volunteer
Infantry from Nebraska, the boys are
all enjoying good health and are COM
fortably located at Manila. The letter
is dated November 30th and the enyel
ope bears the postmark Military Station
NO. l, Philippines, Dec 2, 1898, and
reached its destination in this CITY after
New Years.
Mr.. Smith states that his regiment
embarked at San Francisco on June 10th
and arrived at Manila on the nth of
July. enjoying a splendid voyage.
Nothing occurred worthy of mention
and the boys made practically a pleas
ant trip Of it. After arriving at Manila
things did not come quite so smooth for
time: The camping grounds were
wet, and until the city was taken on
August 18th their beds had to be made
in mud and water. Mr.. Smith writes
that the boys had lots of fun taking the
City OF Manila: For about two miles
they were obliged to wade through
water up to their waists while the rain
poured down at intervals, making it a
continual round of pleasure with vari-
atlons. During all this time the Span
lards kept on shooting at them and oc-
casionally killed one of the boys, and
they would retaliate by killing off
few Spaniards. The march, however,
was never intarrup ted until the present
camping grounds in the city were
reached. The Spaniards retreateA and
the American soldiers had things their
own way. The City of Manila is a
sight worth seeing: Natives and China
men, half nude; Europeans and United
States soldiers all 90 about in pursuit
OF their respective vocations and bust
ness. The American soldiers, especially
the boys from Wyoming, are held in
great respect by the natives on account
of their superior physical build, all be-
ing big and stout lads The stone walks
and pavements around the barracks
have been taken up by the soldiers on
account Of being too hard to walk on in
the tropical climate.
Before closing, Mr.. Smith again re-
fers to the grand panorama presented
in Manila Bay by the sunken Spanish
warships as Il sight never to be for
gotten
