Night Population of the CITY

fed across London bridge about
o'clock in the morning do not

umanity which flows cityward at
hour. But it is almost incredible
no fewer than 100000 persons

more than a congestion of ware

DUTY IN CHINA.
Rev. Mr.. StenhOuse's Paper on
the Course This Government
Should Follow.

The regular Monday meeting OF the
Union Methadist Ministers Association
occurred an the vestry of the Mathewson
Street church this morning.
The president, Rev. c. II. Ever OF the
Cranston Street Methodist church was In
the chaid and conducted the devotional
exercises after which the Rev. Mr.. Pirsz-
zini was introduced to the assembled min
listers.
Mr. Pirazzini, who but recently arrived
from Italy. will assume charge OF the
Italian Methodist Mission under the care
of the Broadway Methodist church of this
city.
The interest OF the meeting centred In a
paper entitled the Eastern Question"
presented by Rev. c. A. Stenhouse OF the
First Methodist church OF Pawtucket
The special phase of this question. as
outlined by Mr.. Stenhouse, was THE duty
of the United States in China"
A brief abstract OF the paper follows:
For the past fifty years the attention
of this country has been gradually TO-
'cussed upon China and our Diplomats and
statesmen have found phases of this
Eastern question of great interest.
But one OF the principles laid down by
the founders of our republic in the inter-
st-ef its pcrpetutty WAS the law of nom
interference with any foreign power
'No alliances were perhissable and no
foreign conquests safe.
To-day we have a place among the ma
tions that commands their respect and we
have nothing to fear from them.
And yet IL may be questioned as to
what form our foreign policy should take
There are three phases OF the question
which we should consider before taking a
position.
lst-What is the duty Of the United
States toward China commercially7
2d-What is the duty OF the United
States toward China politically?
Sd-What Is the duty OF the United
States toward China religiously?
"All men have rights to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.
There are degrees I'm the development
yet attained i'm these principles among
civilized men.
THE most advanced and enlightened
nation ought 20 he the most forward in
advocating these human rights and first
in the enforcement of them upon the at
tention of the less civilized nations
1T all summarizes I'm the formula.
Am ! my brothers keeper"
Mr.. Stenhouses paper was followed by
a general discussion which revealed wide
ly diyirsiaed opinions on the general
theme.
II was announced that on Monday next
a union ministers meeting would be held
I'm the Y. NJ. G. a. hall and that the meet
ing two weeks from today would be adj
