over his advice this time is from the
! Chinese governor of the province
wherein Shanghai is situated, and it is
hard to conceive of an adequate reason
for the Justification of the facts by that
official in the direction Of this particu-
lar report Therefore, the state depart
ment, which has all along been hope
| full of the ultimate rescue of the minis
| ters at Pekin, has now turned to the
European belief that they have all been
| killed.
| The department officials find it hard
| to estimate the value of the statement
of the consul at Canton that Lii Hung
Chang has again engaged passage
northward, owing to the lack of a date
on the cable message, and it is sus-
pected that the press dispatch, stating
that he has abandoned the trip to Pc
kin is of later date than Mr. McWade's
notice Should the great viceroy go
northward, his coming to Taku and
Tientsin would raise at once a question
as to the conditions under which he I'M
dertakes to go to Pekin, and inciden-
tally the decision as to whether or not
he should be permitted to pass the lines
would involve the decision of the other
question as to whether or not state
of war exists.
An attempt has been on foot for some
days past to arrange for an interna-
tional cable connecting the base of Chi
nese operations either with Shanghai,
Port Arthur, Yokohama, or some other
point through which more rapid COM
munication could be had with the out
ciHp unr1d Tho a nau
departments have all been parties to
the conference, which has been con-
Quoted with great deal of diplomatic
secrecy. Both the war and navy de-
partments have been figuring for
months pact on a transpaciflc cable,
and consequently have all the neces-
sary information at their fingers ends.
The war department now has fifty
miles of cable ready to ship to Manila,
to be followed by 400 more about the
first of August This was to have been
used for interisland communication in
the Philippines, but the urgency of the
case may cause it to be diverted to
China.
No point has yet been decided on for
either end Of this International line
though Chefoo and Taku have both
been discussed as places for the Chinese
terminus 1t is 600 miles by water from
Taku to Shanghai, the terminus of the
English cable. It is less than one hun
dred miles from Taku to Port Arthur,
but the Russian land lines both in
Korea and Manchuria have been SUBJ
ject to such serious interruption as to
almost bar the consideration of this
route for the international connecting
link.

NATIVE MARTYRS IN CHINA.

| There is no phase of the present crisis
J in China that carries with it more
pathetic character than the position in
which it places the native Christians.
Whatever may be thought of the Chi
nese In the United States, or indeed, in
ANY other country, those who have
worked among them in China and know
of the self-sacrfices they are willing to
make because Of their faith cannot but
regard them with the greatest possible
admiration.
Shut up in the Methodist compound
in Pekin for the past several weeks
there nave been 150 girls of the girls
high school and $50 students OF the Pc
Kin university. The ages of these chill
dren range from fifteen to twenty -four
or twenty-five years. Because of our
limited means we are not able to send
them all home every year, as some of
them live in the center of the Boxer re-
gion in Shantung, 500 miles away, so
that they have not seen their parents
for two or three years past, During
the past year the Boxer troubles have
been going on in the region of their
homes, and they do not know, and can
not know, the condition in which their
parents are placed or even whether
they are living or not. And so these
timid girls and boys are thus cooped
up In those compounds, with the knowl
edge that, though the Boxers fear to
XIII the foreigners, they have the sane
ton of the government to do as they
please with the Christian natives.
Among those young people there Is
one who, when he was graduated. had
an offer of forty dollars per month if
he went into business, which offer he
refused, and accepted a call to preach
the gospel up outside the Great Wall
for two dollars and seventy-flve cents
a month. He is assistant pastor of the
large church. His brother, who is also
there, gave up a salary of fifty taels
per month and began teaching in Pc
kin university for five taes. After
teaching about three months he was
asked to teach English to the two
grandsons of III Hung Chang, who are
now in Vanderbilt university, one hour
a day for thirty taels q month. He did
this extra hours work, and when he re-
ceived the thirty ounces of silver he
gave it to the university to educate a
boy. Twenty out of twenty eight of
the graduates have made the same kind
of sacrifices, some Of whom are baptiz-
ing Seyenty-fVe TO one hundred Chris

Berlin, July 13.-According to a semi
official telegram from Candon, dated
Thursday, July 12 Ii Hung Chang on
July received a written imperial edict,
dated June II, and sent overland, in
which all the vlceroys were urged to
dispatch troops with the utmost speed
to help against the rebels, among whom
Prince Tuan was clearly indicated.
Acting on this edict, which is said to be
undoubtedly genuine Ii Hung Chang
is sending some thousands of troops to
Pekin and the other governors are prob
ably doing the same.

life was one long honeymoon; and
though, indeed. fully charged with sol
emn interests and issues, 1t had also a
jocose and genial side which was mex
pressibly attractive. No one who ever
heard it will forget the quaint enjoy
ment with which Mr. Gladstone used to
sing the refrain of his favorite "Tink-
er's Song"
"a ragamuffin husband and a rantipol-
| ing wife.
Well fiddle it and sorape it through the
ups and downs of life"
| The slightest sketch of Mrs. Glad
| stones character would be glaringly in
complete, If it disregarded her religion.
/ This was not mere aspect, or attrib-
| ute, of her character; it was the basis
of her nature and the handspring of her
life. Her views were those of the tradi-
tional High Anglican school, which she
illustrated in its characteristic graces
of reverence, gravity and unobtrusive
devotion. But her heart knew no dis
tinctions of sect. She walked in wis
dom towards them that are without
and he" lifelong works of mercy We're
literally all-embracing. The House of
Charity In Soho, the Newport Market
Refuge, the Woodford Convalescent
Home, the House of Mercy at Clever,
the Orphanage at HaWarden are only a
few of the good works with which she
was intimately connected. On the occa-
sion of her golden wedding Cardinal
Manning wrote.
Il have watched you both out on the
sea of public tumults from my quiet
shores. You know how nearly ! have
agreed in Williams political career, es-
pecially in his Irish policy of the last
twenty years, And have seen also
your works Of charity for the people, in
which, as you know, I heartily share
with you. There are few who keep such
a jubilee as yours; and how few of our
old friends and companions now sur
vive- We have had long climb up
those eighty steps-for even you are
not far behind--and hope we shall not
break the pitcher at the fountain.
wonder at your activity and endurance
of weather. May every blessing be with
you both to the end!"
That, activity and that endurance
were maintained almost to the close.
though the great occupations and inter-
ests of life We're gone; and now this
long course of duty and benefcence is
to be crowned by its one suitable and
adequate reward. In 1889 Mr. Glad
stone said: 1T would not be possible
to unfold in words the value of the gifts
which the bounty of Providence has
upon me, however unworthy
| may be, through her" And in his
will he wrote, Il desire to be buried
where my wife can also lie" 1t was the
tribute of grateful love nobly earned
and richly given. Mr.. Gladstone's po-
litical career awaits the verdict Of his
tory, but wherever he is remembered
there will also be remembrance of that
pure and courageous spirit which was
the guiding star Of his fortunes and the
good angel Of his house-London
Timea,
