DIR. AMENT ON CHINA.
Chinese Realize Necessity of Progress
 and of New Religion.

Chicago, May 1S.-Dr. William s. Ament, the returned missionary. speak ing at the First Congregational church last night on the situation in China, said:
 Tt is remarkable fact that in this great Chinese nation, one of the oldest among the civilized, the very home of conservatism, the natives are beginning to realize the need of new ideas. Mod- ernism is fast gaining a foothold. Only few days before left China, a prom inent Chinese gentleman said to me: We Chinese know that we need many thinga but first of all we need new religion And that is true They do need a new religion, and Christianity is thoroughly adequate for the regenera- tion of the Chinese character. Christi anlty now has more friends among the Chinese than 1t ever had; thousands of Chinese appreciate the Christian re- ligion more than they did a year ago; the church is by no means eNterminated or even weakened; it is still full of vigor and I look forward to a bright and glorious future for it in the Chinese empire"

 I had an experience last night in this town that l must relate. don't expect the readers of The Republican to be- lieve what l am about to relate; but 1t Is as true as gospel, and can prove it by Coy Carey. who was with me at the time.
 We were standing in front of sam Hill's hardware store after the show, when we saw a gray streak fit past us and disappear beneath door sill. Pres ently it reappeared, and we saw that it was a large rat. The rodent. seem- ingly not afraid of us, played around for some time. finally getting behind me. l suddenly felt something strike my leg. and. upon looking around, dis covered the rat climbing up my leg. In few bounds 1t was up to my shoul- der between the coat and vest. There 1t rested as snugly as though 1t were in it's nest in some barn. Carey thought would stampede and run my fool-self to death: but I had had rats in the aarret too long to shy at this one. Af- ten waiting till the rat was quiet and apparently asleep. I started out to have some fun with 1t. l first went into a saloon and asked man to reach up under my coat and zee what made that lump. He ran his hand up to where Mir.

STRANGE DEATH IN DETROIT
A Case of Suspended Animation Last
 ing Forty-three Hours

Detroit. May 1S.-Miss Dora McDon- aid. 1s5 Baker street, this city. died yesterday, after being in a cataleptic state for forty-three hours. She died. apparently, last Wednesday. but the conditions were such that the physician, Dn George s. Field. refused to pro- nounce her deac. because of uncertain signs of life about the body.
 From the time of her supposed death there were signs which completely mys- tined her physician and others called in for consultation. Early yesterday the watchers at her bedside were startled to observe a twitching of the muscles of the body. It was hoped that she would regain consciousness. but the convulsion lasted but a short time. the warmth left the tody and unmistak- able signs of death appeared. Several hours later pr. Field pronounced her dead. and ascribed the immediate cause to paralysis of the heart.

LONDON, Noy. 25-This morn.

ing near Yilliersdorp, southwest
of Standerton, as to which Lord
Kitchener reported nothing be-
yond the fact that Commandant
Beyers had been captured after
attacking a patrol of 100 railroad
pioneers, was really a serious af-
fair. 1t seems that Grobelaar's
commando succeeded in sur
rounding and capturing British
force of 100 British Cape railway
pioneers. Subsequently. Col.
Bennington came up with re-en-
forcements, and after heavy
fighting compelled the Beers to
retire and to release their prison
ers. The British losses included
Major Fisher killed and three
officers wounded. The casual
ties among the men have not yet
been reported.

The statement is absolutely

SIX RouT Iso
Fierce Encounter Between Handful OF

BOlOmen.

MANILA, Nov 26-Lieutenant
Louis j. VanSchaick of the
fourth infantry, who was out
scouting with five men, encount-
cred $50 bolomen who were re-
turning after having sacked the
defenseless town of Siaraca, near
Cavite. Upon seeing the Filipi-
nos, VanSchaick ordered his
men to charge them. The COM
mand was obeyed, and Van
Schaick, being mounted, reached
the insurgents sixty yards in ad-
vance of his men. He killed
three of them with his revolver.
An insurgent fired his rife point
blank at VanSchaick at four
PAGES but missed. Lieutenant
VanSchaick was knocked from
his horse. He jumped to his
feet and engaged in a hand to
hand conflict with the enemy,
using the butt of his revolver.
He sustained two severe wounds
one of which nearly severed his
wrist. At this point the lieu
tenants men arrived, rescued
him, and put the insurgents to
flight. VanSchaick is IN the
military hospital at Manila, and
is doing we'll. He has already
been recommended for a medal of
honor for bravery in a previous
engagement.
General Hughes, commander
of the department of the Visayas,
reports that negotiations are
about completed for the surren-
der of the insurgent leader Sam

render will doubtless end the re-
volt against the American au-
thority in Bohol, as Samson is
acknowledged to be the best in
