 Hot Springs. Ark. May 10. Let them die: there are too many of us now" This was the answer made to missionaries in China who appealed to the wealthy men of that nation for help while countless millions of their people were dying from hunger and lack of shelter during the terrible fam inc of last year. according to the report of T. r. McRae to the southern Bap- tist convention. through whose hands the ST50,O00 contributed by America to purchase food was distributed.
 Such Is the sentiment of the wealthy in that un-Christian nation," said Mir. MeRae, while the missionaries were actively at work endeavoring to ward of the famine they knew would follow the floods of the summer and were ap- pealing to America and other Christian nations for money and other aid we, too. asked the wealthy interests of China for assistance. but they turned to us a deaf ear.
 "But the great multitudes of China appreciate our help" said the speaker.
 .China has come to look upon us as their greatest friends. This is ocea' stoned through the return of the Boxer indemnity and the work done for her during this famine"

QUAKER DEMOCRATS GATHER
Bryan, Gray and Johnson Boomers
 Busy In Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 19.-Democrats from every portion of the state are pouring into Harrisburg to attend the state Democratic convention, which will be held here tomorrow. and the indications are that 1t will be one of the liveliest held in years. Headquar- ters have been opened by the Bryan, Gray and Johnson leagues, each hay ing it's corps of boomers and button distributors, and the city is being lib erally placarded. The Bryan people had things their own way for time until the other leagues began to send out their men.
 The Bryan leaguers claim the con trol of the national delegates and the convention. and President Jere s. Black, who arrived from conference with Bryan at Philadelphia, asserted that the league would fight for every point in the convention.
 The Guffey men decided that Bry- ans followers would have less than a hundred delegates.
 The Gray league people insisted that their candidate would develop strength and said that men claimed for Bryan were for Gray. ..
 The Johnson boomers refused to make any statement, but asserted that they would make themselves felt in the convention.
 National Committeeman ]. NJ. Guffey declared that the Democratic state or ganlzation would he in full control af [ the convention and would elect unin- structed all the delegates at large to I the national convention and also the electors at large. In defining his posi- | ton he said:
 "There is neither animosity or senti. ment in my position. It is success l want. and that can only be attained by electing a majority of the electoral col lSge. Pennsylvania can furnish no Democratic electoral votes. and her delegation should enter the Denver convention untrammeled and free to join in the selection of candidate advocated and desired by her sister states who do furnish the votes in the electoral college"
