Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
WASHINGTON GROVE, August 4. 1901.
Camp Sunday" has come and gone. AS
early as 9:3o am the auditorium was filed
by congregation composed largely of
country people. A Wesleyan love feast,
conducted by the presiding elder. was the
principal feature at that hour. Before the
close of this service the plaza encircling
the tabernacle was alive with well-dress-
ed and expectant throng, persons who had
arrived by the eastbound and westbound
trains. Many were debarred from hear
ing the discourse delivered by DIR. H. r.
Naylor. The text was chosen from Luke
22d, 31st and SD verses. The topic was
The Danger Safety and Duty of Chris
tian Life
At pm. DR.. Fred Heisse, pastor OF
Wesley Chapel, Washington, preached a
sermon upon the question of the 'Skeptics
of Apostolic Days" The Grove choir was
Zeigler, the latter with his gospel horn.
Mrs Grace Altschu SWEET sang Face to
Face as solo, Miss Ella Laurenson
was heard In two numbers, The Plains OF
Peace" and Wonderful Peace"
Mrs. Dr. Wiber was In charge at the
children's hour, and had about 100 chill
dren auditors. The remaining space
was crowded with adults. Little George
Gettenger gave a recitation. The Sabbath
topic was "A Band of Ribboners," out of
which Mrs. Wiber evolved a most instruc-
tive little temperance sermon
The evening attendance was fully as
great as had been noted throughout the
day. DR.. s. NJ. Hartsock Of Douglas
Memorial Church. Washington. preached
an orthodox sermon. The work of the choir
at the twilight song service was deeply
appreciated by the large congregation, as
was also the talk Of Mr.. Frank Wood

Vegetables are selling in the city for

are used more universally and in larger
quantities. Less than a month ago So per

of potatoes, but now the same quality

those of very inferior grade other
vegetables are high priced, but not pro-
portionately with potatoes.

MAP SHOWING THE RICH A

Nearly one-fourth of our exports to
China go to the province of Man
chooria. In 1899, the latest year for
which complete figures are obtainable,
we sent to China products valued at
s23.Ol3,013, of which % per cent went
to Manchooria. American goods, espe-
cially cottons, are in growing demand
there. To that province in 1899 went
fully 30 per cent of our exports of cot
ton goods to China. These facts show
why the United States would neces-
sarily oppose any such closing of the
Manchoorian market
There is, however, no reason to be-
:ieve that Russia has any such inten-
ton. AS matter of fact Russia had
begun negotiations for the cession of
Manchooria a year before the Pekin
riots begun. The transfer Of the terri
tory is therefore a matter that con-
Germs only Russia and China. The
Cars government has given positive
assurances that the occupation of
Manchooria. made necessary to protect
railway and other Russian interests
during the Boxer outbreak. is tempo
rary and solely for the purpose of re-
storing order The folly of the Lon
don reports that Russia has bribed
the Chinese court to consent to the
permanent alienation of Manchooria is
evident upon the slightest considera-
tion Of the facts.
Russia's interests in Eastern Asia
demand that commerce with and
through Manchooria be stimulated by
every possible means. Supplies of
every kind are needed for the devel-
opment of Siberia. Traffic from the
east as well as from the west is
needed to make the Siberian railway
pay expenses. For these reasons Rus
STA was the first to agree to our re-
quest that. no matter what the future
political control of any part Of China,
our treaty rights should remain unim-
paired. 1t was evidently to Russia's
interest that commerce across the Pa
cific be facilitated. Unable herself to
supply the growing needs of Eastern
Siberia and North China, Russia had
to rely on foreign supplies. For these
reasons Russia guaranteed our access
TO the Manchoorian market, and Also
gave many Of our products free entry
to Siberia.
The sugar complication evidently in
spired Russia's traditional foe with the

ing England off or buying her off. As
We are not ready to risk a war with
England, our obvious policy is, while
steadily preparing for the other alter
native, to try to buy England off.
No surrender of the Monroe doctrine,
no territorial concessions in Alaska,
however. can wisely be included in our
offer.
The Senate has greatly assisted Mr..
Hays future negotiations by making
1t plain to all the world that the
American people will have an Ameri-
can canal or none. The belief that the
American people would ever abdicate
their supremacy in this hemisphere
must now have been dispelled from
the European mind.
To have that belief dispelled is an
advantage which Mr.. Hay should ex-
plot promptly. In the meantime an
impression is given out from Sandow
to the effect that Britaln's chief OBJ
lection to the canal comes from the
fact that vast financial resources in
our transcontinental railways (chiefy
held in England) would be greatly
depressed by the assurance of a canal
Or to be brief England Is not aiming
at the American canal but is merely
carrying out the time-honored
Britain policy of protecting British In
vestors by seeking to delay n program
which when assured will injure the

about 100000, including that of the

The province of Kirin, or Central

Although England has refused our
proposals for Nicaragua canal, the
problem in hand is visibly nearing a
solution. For this progress in great
cause the American people are indebted
to the United States Senate, which, by
its action on the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, has made clear to the world the
following vital points:
/. That the American people will
never consent to the abrogation Of the
Monroe doctrine by admitting the Eu-
purely American enterprise.
2. That the American people under
stand the canal will be in fact-what-
ever the territorial sovereignty of its
shores-a part OF their coast line and
must be treated as such.
3. That the American people, while
perfectly willing to guarantee to all
with their own in peace. will never
consent to a naturalization of the canal
that will open 1t to their enemy in
war.
L. That the American people will
not accept England as u partner in the
control Of the canal.
The first and third of these four
points the Senate made clear by strik-
ing out Mr.. Hays invitation to the
European concert to join in the guar
antics of neutrality. The second and
third it emphasized by the Davis
amendment. The fourth 1t declared In
