AMERICA PLEAsEs BRITISH.

LONDON, November 2.-The newspa-
pers here continue to express keen
pleasure at the sympathy of the United
States. The st. James Gazette says:
Few more graceful examples could
be imagined of the courteous spirit of
American sympathy with this country,
which has been so often evident of late,
than the project of the American ladies'
hospital ship, which will probably be
fitted out with many of those American
nurses whose services We're so highly
valued during the Cuban war. This is
the first example of hospital ship pro-
vided by a nation which is at peace
for another during the stress of war,
and the widespread and generous re-
sponses to its appeals from both sides
of the Atlantic show how warmly the
merciful idea is accepted by the citi-
zens in both countries"

CHINESE MISSIONS.
Interesting Address From Rev. Z
Thwfng Yesterday.

The congregation of the First Presby-
terrain Church on Emory street, listened
to an interesting and instructive dis
course on missionary work, last evening,
when the Rev. Edward w. Thwing, who
has for eight years conducted missionary
work in Southern China, spoke on that
field of labor
He told of many experience in that par
TALLY civilized country, adding that it
would probably be 2 great many years
before the work could be carried on as
successfully as the missionary societies
wished. This was due more OF less, he
said, to the unciyilized inhabitants, who
are very ignorant.

The Rev. Mr.. Aliens Patriotic
Sermon to Republican
Clubs.

The Rev. Charles Allen. pastor OF the

Dsnforth venues preached a patriotic
sermon last evening. The congregation
was unusually large. It included dele
cations from the Minkakwa Republican
Club, the u. S. Grant Association, the
Greenville Republican League Club and
the Seventh Ward Republican Club. Spec
ial selections were rendered by the choir.
Pastor Allen said tina the United States
In points of Industrial, Commercial, poll
tical, social and educational powers is
second to none, though as yet a babe In
arms. Continuing, he said:2"Lift your
eyes and scan the sea. Soon the eonquer
ing ADMIRAL of the American nav will

pressed at the sight of that great hero2
Is there one who will grudge him the

she will give to MIN in token of her love
for the man, George Dewey? What is too
good for this victor?

make this conqueror's return the most
glorious welcome home that a nation ever
bestowed. 1t shall be bountiful-jeweIled

something. The cost. SO far as the people
are concerned shall carry the virtue of

to Admiral Dewey will not be h cost
but the affection that impelled the pep
pie to it. The very act of american
bodies of patriots will be an honor to the
renowned sailor. All this peoples and all
their land are at his service, but the
very prompting of the heart Of the ADJ
miral will be to do more than he has yet
done for his country.
