mistake so far as the Indians are concerned"
Our respected Secretary, we are sure misun-
dersands Dr. Laws, who in the overture clearly
refers to the whole body of American Indians,
and not to the limited number in our churches
and missions. In a communication to us. DR..
Laws, by number of quotations from the off
cial papers of the United States Government
shows that beyond a question polygamy does ex-
lst among American Indians, fully justifying
the statement of his overture Of course. DR..
Laws never made can attack on Foreign Mis-
slons, and he has no reason to defend himself
from any such charge. But we believe that he
has ground for asking that our Assembly make
clear and unmistakable deiverance warning our
missions, at home and abroad against any COM
pllcty with polygamy.
Very impressive services were held in the
armory Of the Naval Academy at Annapolis on
Sunday, Jan. %, 1906 The Rev. DR.. Charles
a. Stoddard, of the New York Observer
preached by request of the Chaplain Rev. H.
II. Clark; and for the American Seamen's
Friends Society, of which Dr. Stoddard is the
president, presented each midshipman of the
first class with copy Of the Bible Eight hun
dred cadets were present, with four or five hun
dred other persons In the evening, the Rev. Dr.
James |. Vance of Newark, delivered the ad-
dress before the Y. NJ. c.. A. About five hun
dred cadets, members of the Association. heard
the eloquent address. DR.. Stoddard said:
These young men church members and liv-
ing Christians, who honor to their religion
worthy of the homes from which they come and
of the country which they love and serve with the
fervid patriotism of American youth"
After all that has been sad of the hazing
its measure of cruelty its violation of discip-
line, and its unmanliness and folly it is pleas
ant to read Dr. Stoddard's vigorous defense of
the Academy and the cadet corps:
Most of what has already been published would
not be dignifed 'hazing' i'm any college, and
hardly tolerated than the horseplay of
lively boys in a preparatory school 1t has no
immoral element in it, and is only to be viewed Sc
riously as an infraction of discipline. And when
all has been said, and the indignant outsider has
exhausted criticism and comment-let it be re-
membered that there between eight hundred
and nine hundred boys and young men in the four
classes; that not more than twenty have thus far
been accused that possibly half of this number
may be proved to deserve dismissal and that not
one has been convicted of immoral conduct Where
can you find an equal number of young men, near
ly all of whom are under age in any institution in
TINS or any other country, who would stand an
equal test? And there is a for it. These
naval cadets are not waits and strays reforma-
tory delinquents or youths who have been sent to
college to keep them out of the way of temptation

serious change is going in China. Popular
effects of the results Of the late war between
Japan and Russia are more easily discernible
in China than in Japan. China, like great
giant, is waking up from a sleep long and deep,
and is in an uncertain and dangerous temper.
There is a consciousness of patriotism and ii
unity that has not before been manifest Ameri-
treatment of China by exclusion acts and
the harsh administration of them has given
great offense, and masses of the people are in
tensely anti-American. a result has been the
boycott of American goods. An angry spirit has
broken out in the massacre of I4enchow and i'm
the later disturbances at Shanghai Some of the
viceroys are thought to share the anti-foreign
spirit Of the people Cabinet ministers at Wash
ington are apprehensive of serious trouble and
troops are assembling in the Philippines in

gress has done nothing to modify the treatment
OF Chinese in this country, though urgent re-
