ACENTURY OF DlSHONOR.
NATIVE RACES OF AMERICA Elk
TERMINATED BY DRINK.
Object Lesson Furnished by Filipino
Children-The Vices of Our
Boasted Civilization.

New York, April so.-Rev. Wilbur F.
Crafts. superintendent of the National
Reform bureau, speaking on Traffic in
Opium and Intoxicants as HindraEces to
Missions before an Ecumenical confer
ence meeting in Calvary Baptist church,
said:
when a Mohammedan sees a man
drunk he says: That is a Christian y"
Mr.. Crafts declared that Christian
nations were more temperate than Chris
tian nations and he quoted James B. An
gell, former United States minister to
China and to Turkey, to show that where
! the doctrines of Confucius We're followed
and Christianity had not been INTRODUCE
ed intemperance was almost unknown.
Speaking of the treaty of 1892, in which
sixteen nations Joined to suppress in the
Congo Free State the traffic in slaves.
opium and spirituous liquors, Mr.. Crafts
said:
at is significant that our own country,
foremost in temperance, in reform, was
last to join in the treaty reminding us
that the liquor traffic, by the very nature
of the case. is more powerful in politics
in republic than in a monarchy. The
treaty, too. has not been faithfully en-
forced, and was inadequate in not apply
ing impartially to all intoxicants
But it is of great value as Begin
ming and "A precedent, furnishing the
bedrock on which to stand in asking a
similar but a more adequate government
tai action in protection of all districts,
the world over, Inhabited by similar
races.
Great Britain has given us a more re-
cent precedent in establishing prohibition
in the Soudan, when it had been con-
quered by Kitchener's victorious abstain
ers. This prohibition was established
partly because the British generals had
made sufficient tests proving the value
of the total abstinence in the tropics and
partly for very shame that Europeans
might not exhibit the chief vice of Chris
tendon whose very saVageS We're alb
stainers because of their Mohammedan
faith.
Canada. of the same great empire,
had long before established prohibit
in It's Indian territory and the United
tury of dishonor during which the ma
tive races of America had been well nigh
; exterminated by the vices of civiliza-
tiOn.'
After asserting that the churches and
the homes in Alaska could be helped by
| an improvement in the lax divorce. Mr.
Crafts continued:
"If we Danish the saloon from our army
and islands we shall remove the chief
hndrance to missions in our new pos
sessions. When Filipino children play
Americans they stagger.
"rhink you it would be easy to prove
to the very temperate Spanish and Fill

toNicated, as abundant witnesses testify,
| that American Professionalism is better.
when in the matter of drink traffic and

are worse"

CONFLICTING TALES
AS TO LEGATIONS

London. July 26, a m.-The
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail asserts that a Chinaman who was
EMPLOYED at the British legation as a
writer and Interpreter has escaped
from Pekin TO New Chwang and that
he declares that at the time he left
Pekin most of the members of the lega-
tons were dead and the condition of
the others was hopeless.
He says that Sir Robert Hart, di-
rector of Chinese imperial maritime
customs. died on July ..
The correspondent goes on today:
mo other dates are given in the
message from New Chwang.
THE Chinese newspaper here pub
lished yesterday a dispatch declaring
that it was all over with the members
of the LEGATIONS.
THE president of minor board at
Pekin wrote to a relative in Shanghai,
under date of July g. saying:
The foreign legations are still I'M
captured, but owing to the daily fight
ing it is rumored that only about 300
persons are left alive in the legations,
and if there is any delay in the arrival
of the relief force. / fear that none will
be left to receive it..
This letter is regarded in Shanghai
as authoritative. Strange enough, it
says nothing of any assistance to the
legations by Prince Ching or General
Lung Lu."

II MAKES AN OFFER.
Says Enjoys Will be Given Safe
Conduct.

London, July 25.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Express tele-
graphing yesterday says:
AS a result of a constant correspon-
dence with the governor of Shang Tung
Ii Hung Chang this afternoon an
nounced that the imperial government
was prepared at any moment to give
safe convoy to the members of the
foreign legations from Pekin to Tien
Tsln provided a guarantee were given
that no advance would be made uDOn
the capital and that all matters in dis
pute between China and the powers
would be made the subject of friendly
negotiations.
In the same communication to the
cOnsuls Earl Ii stated that the i'm
perlaI government had submitted TO
the powers a statement OF its position.
declaring that it had suffered greatly
by recent events. but desired not only
TO SUPPRESS rebellion but also to re-
move the causes of the hostility of
foreign power. Therefore he hoped
that the offer to escort the foreigners
TO Tien Tsin would be regarded as an
earnest of the desires of the Chinese
government for the renewal of friendly
relations
The cOnsuls replied that no basis for
friendly negotiations was possible until
proof was at hand that the ministers
were still living. Consul Warren de-
clined to discuss the matter at all. but
in his reply to the French consul. Ii
Hung Chang undertook to obtain a
satisfactory message from the French
minister, NJ PichOn, within five days"
