EXPIRATION, i, Chinese Plot to Destroy Christianity and All For eign Interests. INTERESTING REPORT OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY
 AGENTS. More Than 10000 Converts Met Death at the Hands of Mad
 Fanatics.
OVER 100000 BIBLES DESTROYED

New York, April 1.-The annual report of the American Bible society Relative to the situation in China, will contain the following interesting Statements from it's agent in China, Rev. John R. Hykes, D. D.:
 There was a deep and cunningly- laid plot, under imperial sanction, to extirpate Christianity. eXpell all for eigners and destroy al foreign inter ests. No one diyined the full extent of the iniquity which was deliberate ly contemplated
 Tn all 1S3 Protestant missiona- ries, including sixty men, seyenty.fve women and forty-eight children. have been massacred.
 With the exception Of the massa. 5cres at Ka Ghoo. in Che kians, in (which eleven persons were killed and at Heng Choo in Human. all of the deaths occurred in the northern Provinces.
 M The question has been raised at Vpme as to whether the Boxer move Aent was anti-foreign or anti-mis sionary in it's character. No doubt exists in the mind of any wel-in- formed person in China.
 The movement was undoubtedly agalnst foreigners as such. and the crusade was directed against every thing Christianity. of course. smcluded. Hsu Ching Chen and Yu kChang, two ministers of the foreign office, would not transmit the awful ediet which reiterated the order to painfnlly extirpate all foreigners, : but changed so as to protect all for eigners, and then sent it flying over the wires to the remotest provinces. They were setenced to be cut in two Missionaries Were the class that ben efited by this act of heroism. The fact that every missionary escaped from fourteen ont of eighteen prov inces would indicate that the crusade < was not specially anti-missionary.
 The scriptures destroyed will az yeegate not less than 100000 vol hmes; and the actual loss to the so- ciety will not be less than 5000 or s1o,ooo in gold. including the neccs- sary expense of getting workers to places of safety and back again to

their stations. All of our foreign su perintendents were saved.
 More than 10000 native converts Cncluding Roman CathoIics) met death with a heroism worthy of the best age of the church.
 While the total number of vol umes of the scriptures published is 37 100 less than the previous year. the number of pages is slightly in ex- cess. The number of pages printed in 1899 was 76932 200: this year it was 77 ,646,700, or about 750 900 more. This is the largest number of pages ever printed in one year by the China agency, and will give some idea of the proportions to which the work had grown when, in common with all other forms of Christian work, 1t was suddenly interrupted by the events of the past year.
 The number of mandarin bibles manufactured is worthy of special notice. There were received from the printers no less than 16.500 com plete bibles, and 5000 copies were in press on December 31. Ten years ago an edition of 2.o00 copies was thought sufficient to meet the de- mand for several years.

new avenues and reducing the price
of the commodities which 1t produces.
1t is enabled to do this because the
chief advantage of consolidation is the
reduction in the cost of the articles
produced"
Mr.. Schwab gave an account of the
formation and workings of the United
States Steel corporation and then
said; II am heartily in sympathy
with President Roosevelt, when he
says that all the great combinations
should be given publicity. When the
stock in large corporation is held
by the public, as in the case of the
United States Steel corporation, for
example, which has some $4,000 stock
holders, / believe every stockholder
has the right to know something of
the financial standing of the COM
pany and the management of its af-
fairs and that it will only be COM
panies that are formed on erroneous
principal of capitalization that will OBJ
ject to such publicity"
OF the relations of capital and la
bor Mr. Schwab said: Touching on
the relations between labor and com
binat!ons beg to state that the great
est advantage to the welfare of this
country has resulted. Wages have
steadily advanced since cOnsolida-
tion started. This curious thought
occurred to me this evening: Many
people think that the bonds of the
United States Steel corporation are a
first mortgage upon its great proper
ties. If you will stop to think, you
will find that the first great mortgage
is that which is owed to labor. The
United States Steel corporation pays
to labor approximately $15O,OOO,OOO a
year. This is equivalent to a mortgage
debt of $3,OOO,OOO,OOO upon the prop
erty, which must be paid in advance
of the first mortgage bonds. Never
before has labor in the industries with
which l am familiar received such
high pay

stood instantly by the audience-and It
frequently Is the case that a newly
dressed-up gag is not appreciated full
ly, until it has gone the rounds, a
time or two. Whenever hear good
story which may be worked into a
joke, l note it down, at once, and
have nearly hundred scrap books
containing monologues I've used and
heard. The funny man must be a
careful reader of newspapers. too.
From many an ordinary story. he may
nnd good material for use on the
stage, but l am inclined to believe
That the best source for jokes is con-
alned In the works of Shakespeare.
1t Is from reading and carefully study
Ing his characteristics that the Joker
receives his best ideas for funny hits.
So, when you hear that a man is com.
Ing with whole grist of new Jokes.
you may safely wager that they are
but his versions Of the original stock.
But, after all, it is the way a gag
is told that makes 1t appeal to the au-
dience."
