WHAT CHINA NEEDS
Set Forth by a Native Preacher in 6
New York Church.

New York. Dec 30.-The Rev. N. G.
Poon Chew. at present said to be an ed
itor of a Chinese daily paper in San
Francisco, preached the principal ser
mon at the Lenox Presbyterian church,
one of the leading churches in this city
recently. The choir music was provided
by a trio, which came to New York
from San Francisco with Mr.. Chew.
two of whom were Cinnamon, brothers,
Toy *. Lowe and Chez S. Lowe. Mr..
Chew'S address was principally along
the line of the needs of China at the
present time.
Those who have followed the trend
of affairs in China said he, know that
it's needs at the present time are great
and varied. The younger generation
are clamoring for new order of things.
They are trying to peep into the future
instead of slumbering with the past.
They believe that China can be rescued
from it's lethargy by material means--a
few more railroads and many more tel
egraph poles, better armies, better
navies. But this younger and progress
i've element in China is wrong. 1t is
Christianity which China needs

Rumored That Senator Burton
is After Him.
Resignation of Charles Emory

Reported New Postmaster Gen.

Senator Emb0ldened by His Sue
cess i'm Ousting Leland.

Encouraged by his success in 0uShng
Cyrus Leland from the pension agency,
it is claimed that Senator Burton and
his allies will next go after the scalp OF
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General j.
L. Bristow. Bristow is much an
enemy of Burton as is Leland, and is
just as much of a fighter For this rea-
son the Burton forces desire to dislodge
him, and in the resignation of Post
master General Smith they see their
chance
D. w. Mulvane had meeting by ap-
pointment with Pete" Foley, of Par
sons, in Kansas City Saturday night,
and the Kansas City Journal, In com
menting upon the meeting, says:
1T is in the air that the change in
postmaster general from Charles Emory
Smith to Payne may operate to continue
Foley in office Payne is very friendly
to Senator Burton and Mulvane, and
if his coming into the cabinet can IN
f1uence President Roosevelt and do
Foley any good it is counted that the
assistance will not be withheld.
Mr. Foley repudiated in its entirety
a story that appeared in a st. Louis
paper one day last week to the effect
that he had said he had given up expec-
tation of holding the office. I never
said any such thing and I have not
given up yet he declared last night.
The dispatch is credited to Joe Bris-
tow's account. Bristow has been ac-
cused of the authorship of previous
stories in the same paper casting in
nuendoes upon Senator Burton and it is
now said that the passing of Mr.. BriS-
tow from the position of fourth assist
ant postmaster general is to be accom-
plished.
.One source has it that he will be out
by March L next Another holds that
no move will be made to accomplish
his undoing until after the Republican
state convention is held In Kansas.
There was quite a crowd of Kansas
politicians together in the Coates last
night. Mulvane and Foley were to have
conferred in a prominent lawyers office,
but the plans were changed and all
took dinner at the Coates. George Find
lay and Assistant State Treasurer Tom
Kelly just dropped in William Perry,
with whom Mulvane is interested in
business venture, and Major Warner

MOUND BUILDERS CORN.
T. B. Potter Will Try. to Raise It in
Topeka.

T. B. Potter, carpenter employed in
the bridge and building department of
the Santa Fe, has returned from a visit
of several weeks near Columbus, Ohio.
He was accompanied by his wife. Mr.
Potter brought to Topeka with him a
sample Of corn which if it be all that
is claimed may mean much to Kansas
and other maize growing states of the
union. Several years ago near Spring
field, Ohio, man in digging up some
relics of the mound builders found
among other things two grains of corn
carefully wrapped and apparently Wei
preserved. He planted them, and from
the two kernels secured a heavy yield.
Since then more has been cultivated,
and the. stalks have been found to turn
from 4 to IA ears each, besides being
loaded with foliage. The color of the
original was white, but since all colors
have been produced. The sample which
Mr.. Potter brought with him will be
planted on the farm of James Davis,
four miles east of town on the Fourth
street road.
