IMPERIIED MISSIONARIES.
During the present crisis authorities IN
China are doing their utmost to protect
the lives and property of the missionaries
sent out by all denominations. But at
best the most assistance that can be Of
fered is the asylum Of the warships and
the protection of the marines along the
seacoaSt.
The outlook for the hundreds Of inland
stations is pitiful. In the Sui Chan Flu
province nearly a score of helpless Amer1-
cans are left hundreds Of miles from the
seacoast. In the event of the disorder
assuming more extensive proportions
their retreat will be blocked, and the only
means of exit will be through the noun
tains Of Burmah and the Anam river.
Other parties are similarly Isolated, and,
while most of them have orders to seek
the coast, 1t is fast becoming impossible

MIDST OF A GREAT PLAIN.
The country traversed TO Tten-Ts.n.
and in fact all the way to Picking, Is alb
solutely level. 1t Is alluviaI soil, de-
posted long ages ago. As such it should
be very rich, but the prevailing color at
this time Of the year is brown, just as
It was on the river banks. The Villages
are still built OF mud. and the fields are
being plowed and irrigated by primitive
methods. The wooden plow is some
times pulled by a mule or an OK, some
times by a tandem of men; the irriga-
ting bitches are filled with water by
various simple processes, the water being
usually dipped from a we'll and directed
by other laboFers into the proper ditch.
1t Is the sight Of the husbandmen dotted
here and there over the level stretch
which gives life to the landscape. Some
times there IS a group Of cattle or a lun-
bertng country cart heavily laden, being
Drawn by three or four rugged ponies.
There are many donkeYs, too, In China,
but these are especially priced for riding.
But the principal feature of the land
scape which arouses the curiosity of the
newcomer more than anything else, and
makes more, impression on his magma
ton than the countless editions of mud
hutS which he sees in every village or
than the wide, titled fields or the hus-
bandman pursuing his calling In man
per Oriental. is the myriad of earth
mounds which dot the fields everywhere,
sonnet times grouped together, sometimes
separate. many tiny and with pointed
tops, others curved to a hemisphere and
ranging upward In size to that Of huge
tumuH. Some groups are inclosed by Il
low mud wall, few by a circling line
of trees. Many are surmounted by
small knob of earth. They are graves,
the graves of thousands of dead Celes-
tials, whose bodies rest beside the fields
which they titled. under the very soil,
perhaps, from which they had wrested a
scanty living, though I have heard 1t
said that in the matter Of last resting
place for his remains the Chinaman's
surviving relatives like to steal a march
on their neighbors and place the honored
bones in a neighbOring vineyard instead
of their own. AS a matter of fact it
rests with the geomancer, or soothsayer
who selects an suspicious spot for the
burial place after the body has been
kept in the house for a certain length
of time carefully boxed. This is the
same in Corea. The murdered queen of
that country should have been kept TWEEN
ty-seven days before burial, but as that
time elapsed before arrangements were
made for the funeral, it was necessary
to keep her body twenty-seven months
instead. In China the collins are often
left unburled on the ground. and some

to travel with safety The discomfort IS
rapidly spreading into the interior. The
Methodist missions in the neighborhood
of Chen-Su-Fu are completely wiped out
although the Christians there escaped In
time. The converts dare not offer any
assistance openly, and there is a posi-
bitty of repetition Of the massacre of
August, 1885.
Miss Wilma HI. Rouse, who has recently
returned, witnessed the pillaging of the
English mission at Kucheng Aug 3 of
that year. She will not return while the
| danger is so imminent. In fact, the va
! riGus boards do not expect to be able to
send out any more parties for some time.
The American Baptist Missionary union
has issued the following open letter. apro-
pos to the situation there:
'Inasmuch as the friends of the mis-
sionaries of the American Baptist Mis-
sionary union, now residing in China,
are very anxious respecting their welfare.
we take occasion to say that several
days ago we cabled to each of our mis-
sions in China-East, South, Central and
West China-expressions of solicitude for
the welfare of the missionaries and coun-
selling them to insure their safety in
| case Of changed circumstances rendering
it perilous to remain at their stations.
The missions named are all remote from
the center Of the present disorders. and
we are still hoping that they may not
be seriously affected by them. In our
uncertainty as to the situation, much
must be left to the discretion of these
| devoted workers.
Should the uprising become general,
we are confident that those connected
with the missions upon the coast would
have sufficient inttmation to enable them
to avoid danger. For the workers in
Western China, our concern is particular
ly great but He whom they serve Is
| able to deliver. We shall make public
promptly any word which we may re-
ceive from the field. Meanwhile we be-
! speak the earnest prayer of all our peo-
pie throughout the country that God may
| interpose at this time, protecting all who
are in peril, and that he may so over
rule as to bring steady peace and order
| in China, and to open wider door for

Corea cross over from Chemulpo, the
port Of Seoul, to the Chinese coast, and
pass by the entrance to the harbor Of
Wei-Hai-Wei, where several British gun
boats are lying.
Che Foo, like all the treaty ports of
Japan and China, is divided into two
parts. There are the native city and
the part which has been selected by the
foreigners for their business or dwellings
The consulates are all on high blur

The Rev. William T. Hobart, who Is
now in Tien Tsin, China, as Methodist
missionary, was born in Red Wing,
Mimi, in 1856. His father was one Of the
first Methodist preachers of the North
west, and at one time was pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church, of
Chicago. For some time the elder Ho-
bart, who is still living, held the position
Of presiding elder of the district compris-
ing Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The son received his elementary educa-
ton at the public schools of Red Wing,
and in 1874 entered Northwestern univer-
sity. He was graduated in 1879 and en-
tered Garrett Biblical Institute from
which he was graduated in 1881. For one
year he preached at Worthington, Mimi,
and in 1884 was appointed missionary to
China
The Rev. Mr.. Hobart first went to
Picking. For five years he was in charge
of the station there, and for the follow
ing five years held the position of pre-
siding elder. In 1892 he returned to the
United States, but went again to China
In 1858. He was sent to Tsin Thua, where
he remained for six years. and then to
the province of Shan Pang, where he
Ria An. Then he was transferred to
Tien Tsin- where he is supposed to be at
the pro- { time.
In 1852 the Rev. Mr. Hobart married
Miss Emily Hatfield, daughter of the late
DR.. r. N. Hatfield, of Evanston and sis
ter of Prof. James Hatfield, of North
western university. Mrs. Hobart returned
20 Evanston one year ago to give her
five children the advantage of better ed
ucation- Mrs. Hobart has not heard from
her husband for more than two weeks.
