BUTLER FOR BRYAN.
A Denial Of the Reported Mckinley
Flop-Its Stevenson That he is
Against.

LINCOLN, NEB., Aug. 15.-Popullsi
managers In Nebraska are breathing
easier. They were plainly disturbed
by newspaper reports that Senator
Butler, National Populiet chairman,
had announced the intention to take
the stump for President Mckinley.
Yesterday there was an investigation
OF the report. The Independent, q
Populist paper, telegraphed the Sens
tor concerning the statement. The
reply of Senator Butter, dated ct
Raleigh, was as follows:
"RALEIGH, N. o., Aug. 14.--Report
unqualIfiedly false. / am for Bryan
and the Peoples party nominee for
Vice. President. ! am In favor OF the
committee nominating candidate on
August "a. am not q Democrat.
81 am not q Republican. am q
PopulEst- was not for Bssvsnsen Ha
1Se2,a am not for him now. Marion
Butler, Chairman"
The charge is now made ut Poputist
headquarters that the Chicago dis
patch regarding Butler was Republic
can scheme to create dissensi0n in
Populist ranks. They declare that
Senator Hanna and his counselors
hoped by It to induce q statement on
the part Of vice Chairman Edmishsn
and other Populist leaders denuneia-
tory of Senator Butler, all Of which

WERE CHINA CHRIsTIANrzED.
Caucasians light Rue the Reforma-
ti0n, a Chinese Consul Says.

OAKLAND, GAL, Aug. t7.-Ho Vow,
Ohinesa Consul General at San Fran
cisco, In en- address before the EbeIl
society; Questioned the advisability,
even from a Caucasian standpoint, Of
converting the entire Chinese popu-
lation to Christianity.
"Thsre are 500 million OF my coun.
trymen,n said Ho Vow. "They are
Increasing in vast numbers. They are
quick to learn and, taking these facts
into consideration, what would happen
II the white race succeeded In forcing
lts civilization and its knowledge upon
them? They will be able to manu-
fact1re guns and ell the engines of
warfare with equal facility. Under
these circumstances Christianity
might triumph, and again 1t might
uot.n
The three chief causes OF the pres
ent troubles In Ohins, Ho Vow declar-
ed 10 be missionary work, acquisition
of territory BY foreign nations and
the dssecration of ancestral homes
and the landscape of China.
In closing, Ho Vow said he could
see no legitimate reason why one
nation should wish to force its religion
upon another.
