&c. man Missionaries Again.

The Cologne Gazette which is accredited
in international minds with an exceptional
degree of prescience in the publication of
German governmental news, has just print
ed a statement that il has received infor-
nation of the Imprisonment of German
Catholic missionaries by the Chinese at
Hia, in Shan See, about seventy miles
southwest of Ping Yang. This news Will
doubtless shock Emperor William greatly,
especially in view of his recent religious
impulses received at first hand in the Holy
Land. There is no estimating the extent of
his chagrin or the direction which it will
take when expressed. He has been known,
fare of the missionaries in China. when
they have been molested by the natives. to
make the matter subject of curt interna-
uonal correspondence, conducted on his side
mainly by means of Warships He has
been known III the end TO compromise with
his Indignation by accepting territory as a
balm 20 wounded feelings. 1t may be that
Shan See has been a subject of some Ger
man geographical study Of late. There may
be trade conditions which have called for
energetic missionary efforts in that neigh
bCThOod. When a barbaric country like
China is crumbling there is much need of
sharp work by the advance agents Of civiII-
cation. If the latter should come to grief
at the hands Of the natives, of course, that

is in addition need for change of owner

and effect is strikingly certain in most of

end of the session and so prevent him from
resumng his seat in the Senate. He could
not expect to hold under a reappointment
by Governor Stone, for the Senate has now
decided in several cases that such appoint
ments invalid, the legislature having
neglected its opportunity to elect.
OF course the prestige of the machine,
which is manipulated by Quay in person, is
a strong factor in his behalf. Everything
so far as his party success is concerned,
depends W on the influence which he may
exert upon the boilers. His friends declare
that they car rely upon a sufficiency of
d mOcratiC votes, in case of a deadlock, TO
re-elect the senator. This is denied by the
democratic managers. Quay is fighting for
his political life. for if he should go down
now under the burden of the criminal
charges pending against him he would be,
for a long time to come, eliminated rs
controlling factor in Pennsylvania politics.
Taken altogether, this contest promises
to develop Into one of the most remarkable
senatorial campaigns in late history. The
national prominence of Quay. his presence
before the court as defendant against
serious charges and his long-continued sue
cess as a party manager, combine TO draw
the cOuntry's attention to his fight for re-
election, even in the midst of many Other
political distractions.

One evidence of the shifting of sovereign
" in Cuba is the friction which has been
developed in the matter of international re-
lations. The consular agents there located
are in some measure Of doubt as to the
proper course for them to pursue. They
have been accredited to the Spanish gov
eminent as represented in Cuba by the
crown officers. They now find that there is
no Spanish government and no native gov
eminent, and they are, il is reported, in a
quandary. The home governments have in
some cases instructed them not to present
themselves to the American military au-
thorities for recognition, but this policy
cannot, of course, be long followed. The
consuls must continue in their official ca
pacities unless the consular system is to be
broken in Cuba, and the foreign interests
are to be left unprotected The American
military government is the only official or
ganiZation now there.

II IS promised that as soon as the negro
has been eliminated from the political equa-
ton. the men of property and power in the
south will divide on public questions and
the solid south will become thing of the

really not the essence of anything political
in it.

only did not divide. but she turned savageIy

Temperance Memorial Temple.

1t is proposed by leading members of the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. as noted in the news columns Of
yesterdays Star to erect in Washington
handsome memorial building in honor Of
the late Miss Frances +. Willard. This in
formation marks one more step toward the
