CRISIS IN THE ORIENT

Slowly but very surely the whirl-
wine of our sowing in China is rip
ening to the harvest. The great
slumbering giant of the Orient is
awakening to new spirit OF ma
tionality and before long we may
expect grave disorders within the
empire that may mean death or ex
pluslon of foreigners and confisca
ton or destruction of Their property:
1t is highly signi6cat that those, per
sons best posted on conditions in
China are the ones who place We y |
serious face upon the situation. !
Renewed military activity at Wash
ington and hurried movement of
troops to the Philippines indicate
that our government does not treat
the threatened peril lightly.
In the popular mind there exists
an impression that the impending
revolt is of a nature similar TO that
of the Boxer rebellion, yet from tn.
most authentic sources of informa-
ton it is asserted that the present
situation is far more serious than
that of 1900, when comparative
handful of foreign soldiers marched
to Peking. The present violent
hostility to foreigners, and especial
ly to Americans; is only incidental
to the main issue of a rebellion
again the Manchu dynasty. The
entire empire is on the verge of
revolution, according to DR.. Nor
rson, the best informed of the Pc.
king correspondents, and the Chi
nese people, with true Oriental
cunning, are taking advantage of
every expedlent to add to the dis
affection.
R. P. Schwerin, vice prt sdent Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany, warns us that we must not
carelessly ignore the Chinese crisis
After speaking upon various phases
of the uprising, he says significantly:
II would not give cent for the life
of any Caucasian missionary this
summer who does not get out of the
interior" A few days ago the
Chinese minister in Washington de
clared in no uncertain words that a
new policy has been adopred In
China that will demand new
recognition at the courts of the
world. He says China is quite
ready to assume international re-
sponsibility for its future actions,
indicating that such thing as an
other marcn by foreign troops to the
relief of legations would be opposed
by the government. Mr.. Benby as
serts that the new movement has
gone far beyond any question of
our anti Chinese laws or the boycott
against American goods. The
Chinese are fomenting terrible
hatred of Americans and Germans
which, slow to develop, will be
squaly slow to disappear. Chair
nan Hull, Of the military affairs
commit &c, in presenting the army
appropriation bill the other day
sounded warning against our
apathetic attitude. He used strong
terms in depicting the danger of in
sufficient military preparation for
the coming outbreak. With all this
mass of opinion it is hard to view
the Oriental situation with entire
equanimity.-Kansas City Journal.

Is sometimes a matter Of great

Burgers Leonora.
On the banks of the Ennoree, In a
little nook of meadow, formed by the
bend of the stream which, fringed with
willows, swept round it almost In a
semicircle, the inland border Of the
meadow being defined by a gently
rising wall Of hills covered with wood,
was seated within a few PAGES Of the
water, neat little cottage with a
group of outbuildings, presenting all
conveniences of a comfortable farm.
The dwelling-h house itself was shaded
by q cluster Of trees which had been
spared from the native forest and
within view were several fields Of cul-
tivated ground neatly enclosed with
fences. A little lower down the stream
and within short distance OF the
house, partially concealed by the bank.
stood small low-browed mill built
of wood. 1t was near sundown. and
the golden light Of evening sparkled
upon the shower which fell from the
leaky race that conducted the water
to the head gate. and no less glittered
on the spray that was dashed from the
large and slowly revolving wheel. The
steady gush of the stream, and the
monotonous clack of the machinery
aided by the occasional discordant
scream of a flock Of geese that ire
quented the border of the race. and by
the gambols of few children. who
played about the confines Of the mill,
excited pleasant thoughts Of rural bus
mess and domestic content. A rudely
constructed wagon, to which were har-
messed two lean horses, stood at the
door Of the mill, and two men. one OF
them advanced in years, and the other
apparently just beyond the verge OF
boyhood, were occupied in heaping up
on 1t a heavy load of bags Of meal
The whitened habiliments Of these
men showed them to be the proper at
tendants of the place, and now engag-
ed in their avocation. A military
guard stood by the wagon, and as soon
as it was filled, they were seen to put

could inherit property the same as the
children of English parents. All Chris
tians (Baptists excepted) which were
then in the colony, or might in subse-
quent time come into the colony, were
allowed to enjoy full, free and undis-
turbed liberty Of conscience. The pro-
visos were that the public peace be not

Terrible Seourse Of Smallpox.
The administration Of Joseph Blake

not however. without its share of ca

with dreadful fatality in the colony.
Near four hundred persons were car
ried of by this loathsome disease. A
fire broke out in Charles Town In Feb
ruary, 1896, which destroyed q vast
amount Of property. About one hum
dred and forty thousand dollars worth
OF property was consumed and fifty
families left without a shelter. The
fire was preceded by a terrible hurri-
cane which swept with unbridled fury
over sea and land. Death and de-
struction marked its track These vis-
itations Of Providence were closed by
the appearance of yellow fever. It
spread with fearful rapidity, and null
titudes died. These calamities, togeth-

the commerce Of the colony, no doubt

Of civil strife. In the ravages OF wind

CHARLESTON AS A BASE
OF NAVAL OPERATIONS
Admiral Dickens Points Out
Some Fine Features of Har-

CHARLESTON, s. c., January Il.-At
a dinner given last night by the city of
Charleston in honor of the new United
States cruiser Charleston, Admiral +. w.
Dickins. commanding the coast squadron
of the North Atlantic fleet, now on duty
at this port, gave some most valuable
and interesting facts showing the avail
ability of Charleston as a base of naval
operations. He has had careful survey
OF Charleston harbor made and said.
The harbor is a commodious one, and
the water on the bar will now permit any
of our battleships. TO enter this port.
There is about thirty feet on the bar at
high water. After entering the harbor
fifty battleships, with twenty-six feet
draft, can be anchored III Charleston
harbor at single anchor four hundred
yards apart, with a scope of forty-five
fathoms of chain. Slxty-fve battleships,
with the same draft, and with the same
scope of chain, can be moored in Charles
ton harbor one thousand feet apart.
Thfrty-tive battleships can be nioored
above the battery. Strategically. the
Charleston navy yard is nearer our bases
IN the West Indies than any other ward
on the mainland. 1t Il a little nearer
the Panama Canal than Galveston and
about one hundred miles nearer tnan New
Orleans.
