AS result of all the missionary eff
fort thus far put forth in India, about
2.500,000 out of the nearly 300,000,00l
of natives are nominal Christians. On
ahe other hand, Mohammedanism now
embraces about 20 per cent. of the pop.
Alation Of India, and its influence is
growing, rather than waning. In view
of these facts, the question at the head
of this article assumes considerable sig
nificance. Mr.. Frederic Austin Ogg.
who writes an informing article In the
Open Court, Chicago, on the conflict
between Christianity and Mohamme-
danism in India, believes that eventual
Z ly Christianity will triumph; but he
also believes Cd that many centuries
of time will be necessary to accomplish
Ahis result; 90 that, in the meantime
Mohammedanism, the religion rapid

will have to be defeated on its own
ground 90 that this will necessitate
the employment of very different means
from those now in use, and (4) that

long time it was supposed that invad-

takes the view that "Mohammedanism
was propagated in India by preaching
and persuasion, and was accepted by so
large proportion of the people because
Of conviction rather than compulsion."
He writes further:
1.-THE magnitude of the conflict now
on between Mohammedanism and
Christianity in Asia. Africa and the is
lands of the eastern seas, is by no
means realized by the majority of west

is steadily advancing. Moreover, as a
recent writer has pointed out, it is con-

which may in time bring the Moslems
in all the vast region from the Niger
to the Ganges into a conscious unity OF

Nature, through the active agency OF

he thinks, to those who have known
only the yagueness and uncertainty Of
the Buddhistic faiths. If il be asked
why Christianity, also a monotheistic
and authoritative religion, has not met
with the same ready response, Mr. Ogg
replies that there are many reasons. In
the first place, Mohammedanism has
the advantage both of priority and OF
Asiatic kinship Explain it as we
may, there is an intellectual and spir-
ltual barrier between the Asiatic and
the European which no amount of effort
has ever yet been able to break down. =
The attitude of the two religions toward
the Indian caste system strikingly Illus
trates the truth of this statement.
While Christianity "proclaims the nat
ural rights and equality of men, and
by so doing strikes death-blow at the
caste-system. Mohammedanism mere
ly asks the Hindoo to change caste by
entering the great brotherhood of the
faithful"
One thing is sure, says the writer in
conclusion. India will be neither Mo
hammedan nor Christian for many CEN

The president sent a message to con-
gress, justifying his action in regard
to Panama, giving that body all the
facts and incidents which led him to
recognize the new republic. The mes
sage was closely followed on both
sides of the senate, and was regarded
by the republicans as very strong
document. The president claimed
that he had acted within a reasonable
time; that congress had marked out
the route of the canal from Panama to
Colon and that as he had secured that
route it was needless to consider Mic
aragua. He averred that Colombia
had the power to ratify the Hay-Her-
ron treaty which was more than gen.
erous to Colombia; and that it was
notorious for long time, as shown
by extracts from the public press that
a revolution was pending in Panama
provided the treaty failed. In view of
this state of affairs he ordered war
ships to the isthmus to protect Amer
lean citizens and property. Dis
patches from Commander Hubbard
we're set forth showing the condition
existing and the action he took to
prevent hostilities on the part of Co
lombia. The president had no doubt
the treaty would be ratified and that
congress would stand by the new re-
public.
