MUssULMhN POPULATION.

It comes rather like revelation
to find that, the Turkish Govern
ment, or, perhaps, it might be more
correct to say the Sultan, has been
engaged in collecting statistics
showing the Mussulman population
in various parts of the world, says
the New York Sun. The result has
just been published, and in view of
the possible object of the undertak-
ing, is of considerable interest. In
the dominions under the personal
rule of the Sultan the Mussulmans
are stated at 5000, 900; while in the
contiguous states and territories
in Asia, including Persia, Afghan
istan, Beloochistan, India, Russian
Turkestan and China, their numbers
are estimated at $4,000 900. Africa,
where the Mohammedan religion
has. made great strides in the last
half Of the century, is credited with
SO, 500, 900 followers of the Prophet,
and g, 900, 900 are described as in
habiting other countries and the
islands of the Eastern seas. It
does not appear that the total of
these figures, 176, 100000, is exag-
gerated, as recent estimates have
placed the Mussulman population
Of the world at close upon 200, 0O0,-
900.
Connecting the two important
facts Of the comparative energy
with which the Sultan is pushing
on the construction of the railway
through Palestine to Mecca and his
recent demonstrating of the Mussul-
man world, it is quite evident that
he is watching events and getting
ready, in his way, for eventualities.
The aggressiveness of the Christian
governments and missionary or
CARNATIONS in all non Christian
countries is, no doubt. one of the
animating causes of the Sultan s ac-
ton. He desires to concentrate in
his own hands, as far as it is posi-
BILE, the power of resistance con-
tanned in the mass represented by
176, 500, 600 of Mussulmans, and by
means OF the railway of Mecca he
proposes to retain the permanent
control of the holy places of Islam
on which his authority as Caliph is
based Amid the uncertainties of
the general political condition of
Europe be may think he discerns
nm opportunity to enable Islam to
reassert itself, and is preparing ac-
cordingly.

The members were all present. It
was arranged to hold a union
Watch Night" service on Monday
evening, Dec. 81. Rev. Barackman
and Sutton were appointed a COM
mittee to arrange the program. Rev.
Barackman read the paper of the
morning, it being a comparison of
Buddhism with Christianity. The
paper was most excellent one and
brought out the essential distinc-
tions between the two systems in
clear contrast. The discussion that
followed emphasized the points of
excellence in the Christian religion
in a still more striking way. The
meeting adjourned to meet at the
home of Rev. G. w. Lutz next Mon
day morning. The subject for dis
cussion will be Christmas, it's his
tory and significance.

TIE LAST CONGER MESSAGE.


Sent Back to Washington From Can

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE follow
ing dispatch communicating the addi-
tional message from Conger was made
public this morning by the state de-
partment: "Canton.-To the Secre-
tary of State at Washington: Conger
under date of 10th. Tien Tsin, an
swcring my message, says the lega-
tions are under seige by imperial SOL
diery and the situation is desperate.
The losses to legations are go killed
and 100 wounded. There is some
sickness, but nevertheless the general
health is good. He concludes of
whatever may be the outcome, we
will hold on indefinitely
1t is believed the date assigned to
this dispatch by the consul refers to
the file date when the message left
Tien Tsin and does not fix the time
when it left Pekin by carrier
St. Petersburg. Aug. IL. The Of
fetal Messenger today publishes the
following: The foreign Office has
received a telegram today direct from
NJ. DeGiers (Russian minister at the
Chinese capitaD from Pekin- The
dispatch was evidently taken by spe-
cial courier to Isl Nan from the cap
ital Shan Hal Tung and thence tele-
graphed Aug. by the local yamen
DeGiers announces the siege on the
legations continues. The Chinese
government proposes to transmit the
minister's messages and that they
leave Pekiu. As the ministers had
not sufficient guarantee, they replied
that they must ceive permission of
their governments before leaving the
city"
The messenger then announces the
Cars approval given De Giers to
start for Tieu Tsiu with the entire
staff and marine guards. conditions
existing between the government at
Pekin and the emperor afford them
sure guarantee that the journey will
be undertaken without danger.
