"wha, the Chinese ThInk Of U.s."

RMr. Stephen Bonsal, who was at one
time Secretary of the United Sta'es Lega-
ton and Charge d'AffAires in Pekin, pub
fishes an article in the North American
Review for September, the object of which
is to show "WhaL the Chinese think of
u.s." Mr.. Bonsal makes IL clear that they
have not had much cause TO think very
well OF us; that our course toward them
has been fitted 10 arouse their suspicious
and almost to justify their resentment.
That their antipathy toward the Western
missionaries is not due TO innate intOler-
ance of foreign religions is shown by the
fact that they have permitted the MOham-
medans for centuries to worship God &C
cording to their own creed, and that n GER
tain Christian church in Pekin-belongiDg
TO the Greek church-has never been mo-
Tested. But, unfortunately, the action Of
the countries from which the Western mis-
sionaries come has rendered it difficult for
them TO convince the Chinese that they are
completely innocent Of political designs.
Mr.. Bonsal thinks that, in our treatment Of
the Chinese, we have not shown any par
ticular desire to gain their good opinion,
and he suggests a change in our attitude
to them.
"We have always treated the Chinese as
though they were without feelings, and
without vanity, pride, or combativeness /;
and yet every one who knows them will
tell you they have all of these qualities.
When we are in a position to exact the
punishment of the men who fred upon
our legations, whether they be princes Of
the clan, or Boxers, let us listen to what
the Chinese will have TO say about the bonn
bardment of the Taku forts. It will be a
new departure, and it might work wonders.
We might 'civilize' the Chinese by showing
them some consideration aud treating them
with common decency. The old policy Of
knocking the Chinese over tie head has
not brought satisfactory results-they have
too many heads. A common ground might
be reached by admitting, for instance, that
it is possible for Western admirals as for
Eastern princes and wild secretaries to do,
in hot blood, things they never would have
been guilty of upon mature consideration.
II we do this, there will be no danger OF
war, and we shall be spared q conflict into
which no one who knows what 1t may
come to mean can think of entering with a
light heart

Carlisle and Carnegie for Mckinley

Two eminent Americans whose prefer
ence of candidates for this campaign has
been of much public curiosity and import
ance announce that they will support Presi-
dent Mckinley. These men are Andrew
Carnegie and John G. Carlisle. The latter
was elected president of Lawyers Sound
Money league in New York Saturday night,
and it is significant that among the other
members we're two other renowned Demo-
Gratis, ex.Gov. Hoadley, formerly of Ohio,
and Wheeler II. Peckham, whom Presi-
dent Cleveland nominated for associate
justice of the supreme court. An attempt
was made few weeks ago to enlist the
support of Mr.. Carlisle in the Bryan cause,
but it failed. That he should take such a
leading part in the fight clearly shows how
far his party has strayed from its old prin-
ciples. Thus, Mr.. Olney's isolation, the
only one among the members of the Cleve.
land cabinet who is supporting Bryan,
becomes more striking. 1t was reported
about a month ago that Mr.. Carnegie was
to work for Mr.. Bryan. This report came
from the anti-imperiallsts in Boston, but
the editor of the North American Review
announces that Mr.. Carnegie will have an
article in that magazine for October In ia
vor of the reelection of President McKin-
ley. His reasons are that he finds free sill
yer and Organism in toto more menace
than imperialism.

SPORTING.
A Hot Game.

Vermont Academy Got a Surprise at.
urdHy, Barely Winning In 1875 Game
Against H. attIebOrO High school.
The Brattleboro High school football
team opened the season auspiciousy at
Saxtons River last Saturday by holding
down the Vermont Academy eleven to II
points and scoring a touchdown. The
schoolboys went into the game with hardly
any practice, and four of the team had
never been in a game before. The acad-
envy team also was composed partly of new
men but its players as a whole we're older
and more experienced. The result of the
contest was a surprise TO both sides, Yer
mont academy fully expecting to roll up
nearly as large a score as last year-over
40 points, and Brattleboro fearing the same
result. 1t took only a few moments of
play, however, to convince the "preps"
that they were up against the real thing,
and when after two minutes of play, Mon
roe emerged from pile of men on Brattle-
boro's one yard line and ran the length of
the field for touchdown, CONSERVATION
was pictured on many faces.
There is no question about the Brattle-
boro boys pluck throughout the game.
When Vermont academy had worked the
ball to Bratleboro's one-yard line second
time it was lost on downs, and the touch
back which resulted few moments later
came from Brattleboro's inexcusable fault
IL not punting. The academy boys first
touchdown, which came within the last
minute Of the first half, was under similar
circumstances, Brattleboro holding for
downs on her own one-ysrd line and then
attempting to rush the ball back instead of
punting. The second touchdown for Yer
mont academy was secured within 80 sec
onds of the end of the game after half in
which the ball had been all over the field
and in about equal possession of both
teams.
The academy team was stronger in the
centre and made most of the gains by line
bucking, but a noticeable weakness was
fumbing which came at the most crucial
points. Brattleboro on the contrary was
very free from this fault, but poor judg-
ment in running the team told sorely
against the schoolboys at times. Vermont
academy's failure to make steady gains
around the ends was due in part to her too
compact interference which fell to pieces
somewhat like ninepins when hit by an
opposing player.
Individual comment is unnecessary, for
every man on both sides played with credit
to himself, although special mention might
be made of the ground gaining of Capt. Al
den of Vermont academy, who received a
severe injury to his knee in the last half,
and the end runs of Monroe of Brattle-
boro.
1t is probable that the teams will meet
again this season perhaps, in Brattleboro
on Thanksgiving day.

Announcement was made Monday that
Die police had settled down to the theory
ihat Mr.. Peck was not murdered, but that
4fter having sustained a fracture of the
tkull by falling in the street he was robbed.
This theory was strengthened by story
IDld by James Layburn, a truckman, who
lays he ran across the body early Thursday
horning while on the way to work and
hat at that time two or three men and
fomen were standing by it. He turned
PIE body over, saw that life was extinct,
nd then notified Officer Patrick Kehoe,
he policeman on that post. One of the
EOmen then remarked that she had seen
he man fall. Layburn declared that Kehoe
laid no attention to the remark. A man

Fith the matter, but just what he had to

Mr.. Peck's wife was in the Catskills at

DIN her there the following day. Mr..
Peck was a man of wealth and had repu-
alton as one of the shrewdest operators in

Mr.. Peck was an intimate friend OF

FIGHTING FILIPINos.

Arthur v. ID. Piper Writes OF EIPeri-
ences OF the 40Ih United States VOIun-
tsers, n nd Makes Interesting Observn-
IIOns About the Natives.
Arthur V. d. Piper of company NJ, 10th
United States Volunteers, writing from
Slang, Luzon, under date of Aug. 6, tells
of five attacks made upon the outposts
near that place within the previous two
months, the enemy escaping each time.
Continuing Mr.. Piper says: A native
who was one of the bosses of the ladrones
working on the road was robbed and held
prisoner by the insurrectos the night they
jumped the engineers. He said both Ctti-
GERS of the attacking party were Spaniards,
and that the natives were armed with
Remington rifles. The next day we found
boxes which had held Remington ammu-
milton made in the United States in 1900,

ing. The native said he heard the captain
say to the men before the fight started :
"We will take no American prisoners to-
night. That is why | have brought your
bOlomen along" You can see from this
how they love us, and then, too, it has
been ascertained that some of the band
we're men we have employed to work on
the roads, but they have recently been
discharged, as there was no more work.
During the fight they could be heard shout

The fact that Col. Proctor has no oppo-

opportunity to make up his committee in
advance and thus expedite the business OF
