\ GREAT CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.

General William Booth. whose BODY
lies in state in Congress hall. mourned
by a world into which he brought
sunshine and happiness. abandoned
the old type of evangelism and Or
sanized the Christian Mission i in
1875 on military lines. 1t vas said of
him that he had placed himself out
side the pale of his own church. il
not outside the pale of sane chris
tianity. When he later changed the
name of his growing host to the SAL
walton Army and began to hold meet
ings with horn and fife and drum in
the streets and parks Of London his
meetings We're hooted and the par
Elephants pelted with all sorts Of mis-
siles.
Soon il was recognized that his
methods appealed to thousands who
nary church. and that among the
poor and debased of London and 9TH
er British cities he was accomplish
ing innleasurable good not only in
leading them to christianity but also
to the better moral and industrial
life. The army appealed to those
who were not Of the churches. and
in the course Of n few years to all
classes of christians and all denomi-
nations.
The army became a universal army,
and the name Of General Booth rang
throughout the world as a universal
benefactor. All Of his family enlisted
in the mighty work, several coming
to America to organize the army is
this country. Barracks were estab-
lished. homes opened. social meeting
places furnished. with meals for the
hungry. beds for the bedless. clothing
for the naked. and Christmas dinners
every year.
Millions upon millions have been
collected and pen upon the poor.
This is General Booths monument,
such as no man ever had before.

CInNA's RENEWED TROUBLE.

China appears to be on the verge Of
another struggle that may be as de-
~vastatins and perhaps more ruinous
than the first. For whatever the de
merits and weakness of the so-called
republican government headed by
Yuan Shi kai, it represents an inn
mense advance on the corrupt Man
h court. The present conflict.
while containing all possibilities, has
us its most apparent probability the
Intervention of foreign powers and
the setting up of a government that
MAY he either republican OF oligar-
chical in form. but in reality is likely
to be a mere puppe in the hands of
of powers most active in the inter-
%Vention.
While the statements of the repub-
licanS concerning the murder of
ChenE Use Chu is revolving II west
crn minds and is undoubtedly an inn
mediate cause of their cnmity to Yuan
Shi kai. it is MOI 10 be taken as the
deep cause of the trouble. The slight
value which the Chinese place on the
ives Of others in carrying out their
plans is notorious. and il may be
doubted whether if the republicans
should get hold Of a leader who was
ar obstacle 10 their policy they would
deal with him much more mercifully.
The real conflict is between two
policies of dealing with the problem
of Chinese government. Yuan Sht
Kai's belief is hat only a Dictator
ship a carry on the government OF
that nation. strengthened ~undoubted-
ly by his further opinion that he is
the heaven-sent dictator. Sun Vat
Sen is n more patriotic enthusiast.
filled with the conception of a repub-
lie. II can hardly be supposed that
he hopes to immediately call into ex-
istence a republic like that of the Uni
ted States; but he undoubtedly does
aim at one resting on the votes of the
educated classes, With representative
institutions. Sun Vat Sens plan is
the more progressive. 1t is not clear
that Yuan Shi kai'S is not the more
practical for China in its present
state.
If the conflict now threatened takes
material form ii is likely to be Il Sc
We're one. The republicans have
strong forces OF apparently devoted
followers in southern and central
China Yuan has much strength in
northern China. This strength show
ed deeisively weak points at the time
when his own troops mutinied and
held him prisoner. bur it is likely
that in the time he has been in power
he has strengthened these faults.
The conflict seems likely to be be-
tween northern and southern China.
One of the possibilities would be the
division of the country between a re-
public in south China and a dictator
ship in north China. But if a pro-
longed civil war should set in the
most probable outcome is that al
ready pointed out-of foreign inter-
Nontion and a puppet government.

MiGDALENA BAY.

With a foot rule and a pencil SIX
ty-thrce years ago, James Buchanan.
tnen secretary of state, made posi-
national bugaboo of today.
Mexico had been humbled. A new
international boundary was being dis
cussed. 1T will be here" said Blu
chanan. He drew a pencil mark
along the thirty-second parallel from
FL Paso west. Lower California, and
with it Magdalena bay, remained
Mexican territory.
Now senators and diplomats. and
perhaps a president, regret thai Blu
chanan's pencil did not descend on
me thlrty-first parallel and let the
Gulf of California. instead Of the Pa
cine ocean, be Mexico's western limit.
A reassertion of the Monroe doc
trine by the senate resolution a few
days ago gave official recognition to
the bugaboo. In it the stand of the
United States in regard to Magdalena
bay was expressed unmistakablv to
all the world. 1t read:
Resolved. that when any harbor
or other place in the American con-
tinents is so situated that the occu-
patton thereof for naval or military
purposes might threaten the COM
m~unications or the safety Of the Unit
ed states. the government Of the
United States could not see without
saase concern the possession of such
narnor or other place by any cor
poration or association which has
such a relation to another govern
ment, not American, as to give that
government practical power of con.
troll for national purposes.

NEW YORK. June Claiming to win

amusement seekers who have changed
their allegiance in the past few years. a
syndicate of big theatrical men, includ-
ing the Shuberts, William a. Brady, Lew

formed d circuit of theaters, embracing
thirty cities in the east and middle west,
and will send over it a number of COM
panies which will play at IL, 20 and 80
cents, and others which will demand the
regular prices of $50 and s..
The theory is that il they can draw
audiences to their houses for part of the
week at the lower prices. they will get
them into the habit of going there to see
the more expensive productions as Well.
The cheap shows will not be the old
fashioned melodrama type. it is said but
will be truly intelligent presentations OF
commendabie works, including standard
pieces and also many new plays"
