Manila, P. l., September 6, 1900.
 1received your letter of July 24, yes- terday, and was very glad to get 1t. It seems to me that you worried unnec- cessarily about my going to China. I think iI was very poor reasoning that be- cause the colonel was killed and . major and captain wounded that should be wounded too. You may be very sure that will keep out of the way of bull all that I know about that trouble in China in previous letters, so I will say no more about 1t. The letter that you wrote about July g have not received yet. It Is probably in China and will get here after while. The mails have been very irregular the last two months owing to the China trouble. The trans. port Meade left San Francisco about August l, and coming by way of Japan reached here September 3. She brought four companies of the 18th Infantry, four troops of some cavalry, I shink the 3d, and one company of engineers. She also brought 325 sacks of mail. had an idea that last July was very hot and wet. It rained about half of the time. By the time you get this letter 1t will be dry and dusty here and very het while you will be hugging the stove. What would you do and say to see ne come walking in some time this winterp There is not much chance of my doing 1t but still 1t might happen. Stranger things have happened. You have no idea of how hard work for . year and half in the tropics will run down man. can- not tip the scales at 150 pounds now and diarrhoea weakens . man very fast. You have no cause to worry about ne be- cause I am able to!do (considerable work yet. don't believe will know where I am when see Middlebury again. Ihave met several young mon here that enlisted in Waterbury when the recuitipg office was open.

PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.

She had t, jed many remedies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr Kings New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured her, and she writes this marvellous medicine pneumonia.

is also out of the common class the 1000 million of dollars is extracted to pay
 war bills. If there is anyone on earth
 that needs sympathy it is the Irish, Scotch, English, Mud Stills. The Boera like the North American Indian have got to move on till the Sahara Is cross- ed. The only plea, apology or excuse diamonds and that gold only for the mod.
 ern enlightened peoples. We ask had Abraham Lincoln,s Andrew Carnegie,
 John D. Rockefeller been born in Eng.
 land could they have risen to their pres. ent standing? The 17th of March, Dear Old Victoria put on her chamelion coat of green and went over to Ireland and hoodooed the inhabitants. One of the
 strange inexplicable things about the people of the British Isles is their love and infatuation of set of rulers to grind them into dust. In connection and sym. pathy Is the Chinese question. The
 grand, noble and ignoble people of the United States passed 8 law, ,oT the pretense
 of 8 law, to exclude the Chinese. Now
 we ask with all honesty and justice why should not the rule work both ways, viz. exclude all nati0nalities from China The momentous question of keeping
 the Chinese out of the United States, as we understand 1t, was the fear of being swallowed, just as we have seen
 black snake take green one by the head and get outside of 1t. The cry
 was raised free emigration of the Chi nese would be the complete absorption of of the United States, financially, phys icslly and religiously: The religion of the Chinese is perfectly satisfactory to them and why should the United States, as great nation, free and independent, step up with rifled breech loading cannon, Maxim guns, all the science of modern warfare, and compel the Chinese to swal- low the religion of the Anglo Saxon :? We challenge the world at large to deny or disprove that religious belief makes of it's advocates prosecutors of those not of their creed. There could be none more intolerent than were the Puritans. Roger Williams had to move on. All the present protestant religions are fairly bowling to have the Chinese slaughtered. Now we think 1t can hardly be all relig- ion. It is some more as with tho Eu9- lish, grab for the almighty dollar, but with the United States, cloaked under the guise of religion, 1t appears, by the information we obtain, that Chinese ter. rftory, Is rich in coal, iron and other min- erals ,and is rich in the possession of a pa- tient plodding population of 400, 900, 900. Now we say why not import akd natur- aliza 200 million in the United States. The New England states could absorb as a9riculturists million of these Chinese and let their religion remain as it Is. We ask any unprejudiced person to deny that these people are as good as Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Slavonians, Swedes, Norwegians, Irish, Scotch, Dutch, Rus sians, Armenians, Turks. i've ask the United States to pass law that all peo. pie who earn and receive wages must be naturaNzed citizens, agreeable to and subject to the Uaited States government, and anyone paying money or its equiva- lent to any not citizens be fined $5O0O to of this character would do the business.
