will find that Darwin has been fore / stalled, as one of the gods is monkey
 resembling a man. The legend is that a
 monkey announced himself king, con sorted with men and picked up their | language, and finally became a god. "The mystery and antiquity of | Chinese religion render it very difficult 1 for American missionaries to make any headwoy; but when they appeal to the
 intelligent classes they make themselves felt. It is true, those who have been converted are jeered at and even at- tackled by some fanatics; but we go
 right on. We have many Christian
 clergymen among the Chinese in San
 Francisco-all men of the highest stand ing in their churches-and in China
 there are many more working in the cause of Christianity. Tn the church of
 the Rev. J. K. Mclean of Oakland,
 there have been received over seventy
 Chinamen who are consistent Chris
 tians.
 Tt is often said that the Chinese do
 not oppose highbinderism, but this is not true. The Rev. Chan Hon Fan, one of our most brilliant men in California, came out on the very spot where high binder murders had occurred the pre- vious right, and denounced them, cal ling upon the Chinese to rise and crush the murderers down, He spoke within ten feet of men who had been hired to murder him, and whose hands were on their knives and revolvers.
 eff I wao to suggest to you the con- verted pagan, whom I believe to be the most brilliant man in the American church today, I should say he was the Rev. Tong Rect Hing of the Baptist church. There is not a more earnest or forcible preacher in California, and I believe his equal as Bible scholar does not exist here. He is the Sturgeon of the Chinese Christian pastors. To be classified with him is the Rev. Wong of the Presbyterian church-one of the Presbyterian Crurch
 most influential preachers. All these men are not merely converts to Chris tianity; they are men of the highest cul- ture from your own standpoint. This is particularly true of the Rev. Ny Poon Chi Chin, who is fine Hebrew scholar. He can read the Hebrew. Greek, Italian, English, French, and German Testa- ment. There are many good men among the Chinese population eagerly working for the good name of their countrymen." e. F. Holder, in New York Evening Post.

" SAVED BY A COLLIE DOG.

MT. Robert Macdougall, one of the meteorologists at Ben Nevis Observa- tory, had a most exciting experience when climbing that mountain the other day. His only companion i'll the ascent was a collie dog, to whom he says he owes his life. When manouvering on a snow-slide about 1000 feet above the halfway station, MT. Macdougall lost his footing, and as the surface of the snow was glazed and hard, he was soon being whirled down gully at an alarming pace, sometimes headfore- most, at others the reverse. It was at this juncture that the dogs sagacity came in. As soon as MT. Macdougall began to slide it caught his coat with its teeth and greatly impeded the down. ward progress. The dog ultimately guided him to place of safety, after the twain had slid down on the snow for nearly 1000 feet. Strange to say, neither observer nor dog was much hurt, and the former, breaking open the door of the halfway hut, lit fire. Here he was found by a search-party, half asleep, with the dog watching over. him. Westminster Gazette.

Oppose Canal Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Representative
Hepburn, chairman of the house inter-
state and foreign commerce committee,
which has charge Of the Nicaragua bill
opposes the canal treaty with Great Brit
ain now pending in the senate.
II think" he said, that the negota-
ton of this treaty. is very unfortunate
and that it ought not to be ratified by the
senate. I don't know that the tendency
of the treaty will interfere with the action
by congress on the Nicaragua canal bill.
but the ratification Of the treaty would
certainly impair the value of the canal
when constructed.
This treaty reaff1rms the principles Of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty, conceding all
the claims and contentious Of Great Brit
ain. though Great Britain has by her own
action given us the right at any time to
abrogate the Clayton-Bulw treaty. It
surrenders everything to Great Britain,
abandoning our contention of years that
we might abrogate the treaty at will.
Moreover, it recognizes the right Of any
foreign power to interfere and dictate
with reference to our negotiations with
the independent governments of this con-
tinent. 1t abandons the Monroe doctrine"

authority that Buffers dispatch an
nouncing Mondays and Tuesdays move
ments was particularly hopeful. He de-
scribed the position gained as effective,
so the news Of another retirement is
exceedingly bitter to the British, and,
though 1t comes from Boer sources,
there is little disposition to discredit it.
The news spread rapidly, and naturally
disappointment was visible on all sides,
although the long silence from the upper
Tugela had already aroused apprehen-
sion that Butler might have found it i'm
possible to go forward in which case he
would have no option but to cross the

FAIR NAME Of M0NTAN|@
BROUGHT into DISGRACE

Washington, Feb. 9-(By Associated
Press.)-A j. Steele was cross-examined
In the Clark case today. He had partici-
pated in the campaign of 1898 with
Clark's friends. Witness said he was
bankrupt at that time, having failed in
business. He kept no account of cam
paign expenses, but whenever he wanted
money he went to Davidson or Well
come.
In reply to a question from Senator
Burrows, Steele said that during the
campaign and sitting of the legislature
he had received $4,000 or 1000 for use
in politics and had spent all this sum
except 500 or $500, which he kept by per-
mission of Welcome.
While Steele was ON the stand the
memorialists endeavored to use the re-
ports of Attorney General Nolan in the
proceedings in Lewis and Clarke county
grand jury and before the Montana su-
preme court and Nolan volunteered to
make statement, but upon objection Of
the defense the committee declared the
matter was not material and declined to
permit it's presentation.
State Senator Tieney, the next wit
ness, was questioned, especially con-
corning his financial condition prior to
and since his election to the senate.
Witness said he considered himself
worth about $4,000 before the meeting
OF the legislature, and there had been no
material increase in his prosperity since.

Boer Sources Report More
British ReYerSeS.
THE TASK NOT EASY ONE
Dispatch From Frere Shows
That Reinforcements
are Needed.

London, Feb. 9, 2:35 p. m.-There is SUN
no news of Buffers doings today or yes
terday, A dispatch dated F'rere camp
Feb. Sth, but probably written with the
advanced date of Wednesday and sent to
F'rere by runner says:
IA force Of the enemy are on botn our
tanks and continue to render our posi-
ton extremely difficult to maintain"
Beyond the fact that Butler devoted
Wednesday to bringing more artillery ana
troops across the Tugela nothing IS
known of his movements but that he bad
ly needed reinforcements is evident from
the foregoing from Frere.
It is still more patent that it is impos-
sible for him to advance until artillery
has been enabled to take UP forward po-
sitions for the purpose Of subduing the
Boer guns on both flanks. On the length
of time occupied in this operation de-
pends the duration Of Buffers malnten-
ance of the defensive.
It is reasonable to suppose that guns
and reinforcements were in position yes
terday and an important advance is now
progressing or at least that the lombard
ment preliminary to an actual movement
of the troops is in progress.
In the meanwhile news is awaited with
great eagerness not unmixed with anx-
iety. Almost all the critics point out that
the mere pushing through to Ladysmith
without securing decisive victory on the
way there would only add danger to what
is already a critical situation.
Another Frere camp dispatch says a
Boer prisoner asserts that the Burghers
expected Butler to cross at Skiot's Drift
and thousands of Beers We're being post
ed at Doom Kloof to oppose such pas
sage. While on the captured hill there
were only a few hundred Johannesburgh-
ers this tends to increase the anxiety Of
those who believe that Butler has scarce
ly begun the serious part of his advance
through encouragement is cleaned from
the news that heavy naval guns, after re-
peated attempts during which mules roll
ed down the hill, have succeeded in reach
ing the summit Of Swartz sKop whence
they are doing excellent practice.
General MacDonald's retirement from
Hoods Dorp has created disappointment.
but the operation was apparently only in
tended as sortie.
A rumor that Ladysmith had been re-
1ieved is again current today, but the war
office authorities say they have no con-
firmation OF the report.
It was said today one Of the first steps
to increase the home army would be the
raising of thirty-seven new horse and
field BATTERIES with barracks on Sails
bury plain, and the addition Of batteries
to the numerous regiments which at pres
ent are without them.
