THE AMOY SEAMEN'S CLUB DISPUTE.
(FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.).
Amoy, 4th June, 1889.
whether the minutes are true or not? As regards the ideas expressed by the missionaries present, in my opinion, and in every person's opinion who was present at that meeting, they were decidedly hostile to the community. They acknowledge that they held no deed of trust handing the property over to them, but only the minutes of the various meetings held by the public, and. Instead, as every right-minded gentlemen would, of declining to serve any longer as the Committee of the Seamen's Club, and handing over the various properties to the community, who could then have elected another Committee to carry on the institution for the benefit of the scamen. These mis in accordance with the. view generally held, sionaries, who are supposed to be the ministers of peace and goodwill, and are actually main tained by the public al home to preach the gospel of peace to the so-called heathen Chinese. talk of law, and say that they are actuated solely by a point of law, Again Mr. Talmage reiterates his statement that the "Committee would give the fullest information to anyone who may desire, and properly. ask, for such information." What does he mean by "properly ask "? Does he. want the community to go on their knees and humbly petition for such information as the Committee choose to give? Why did they no! give the information naked for before? It was not until the Committee appointed by the public obtained their information from other sources that the Seamen's Club Committee said that they would supply the information if properly asked for, and it was not until the, second meeting held by the community that the Seamen's Club Committee acknowledged that they were receiving rent for the premises from managers of the Foundling Institution (a part of the missionary boxly) and receiving the magni ficent sum of $5.00!!! per month. (I believe they asked $20 per month from D.W. D. M. Wright.)

As a wind up to this long letter, I would like to ask Mr Talmage one question,
In the first paragraph of his letter of the 17th May Mr. Talmage states that he has had Intimate connection with the Seamen's Club in its conception and organization, and from that time to the present. In the next sentence he says that. for the Missionaries to consent to the furnishing of beer or other intoxicating liquors in the building would be a violation of their trust."
My opinion as to the basis on which the Institution was opened is that it was not. "Teetotal" but "Temperance," for which the Russian railway bonds amounting to 310minutes of the meeting held in 1876 are respon. 500,000. gold roubles have been issued for consible, as those minutes distinctly says:-A-Does he mean to say seriously that the version purposes.

But Mr. Talmage has forgotten (or, perhaps, does not wish to remember) that at a meeting held at the Amoy Club on Monday the oth November 1879, at which meeting he was seat, when Mr. Giles, H.B.M. Acting Consul was Chairman! the Chairman stated that the

BERLIN, May 15th. Three thousand miners have truck in the Breslau district, Prussia. The Emperor William, in receiving a deputation from the Dortmund niners, declared that if an inquiry proved that the strike was the outcome of the Socialistic movement, drastic measures' would be adopted.

It is reported from St. Petersburg that the Nihilists had arranged to take the life of the Czar yesterday while His Majesty was attending the funeral of Count Tolstol The plot was discovered, and the arrest of a large number of persons immediately took place, the majority of them being connected with the army. Several were found in a house near a place where the funeral would pass. It is believed the authorities had a suspicion that advantage would be taken of the presence of the Car at the funeral, and instructions were given for one hundred detectives to mingle with the populace, with the result as stated.
meeting was called to decide whether the project. ed Seamen's Club was to be opened on teetotal, temperance, or other principles, making a wide distinction between teetotalismand temperance.
After some conversation regarding the disposal of the funds in hand, it was proposed by Mr, T. D. Boyd and seconded by Mr.W.S.Orr, "That the Seamen's Club' be established on teetalal principles." An amendment to this was proposed by M. R. H. Pye and seconded by Captain A. J. Booth-That the committer be authorized to provide the frequenters of the Club with beer, when they find they can do so with proper supervision."
The original proposition was then put to the meeting, when five voted for and it against it, and the amendment was carried by it votes against five.
Then Mr. Talmage goes on to say in the same paragraph-" that any gentlemen can have faller information by calling on the Secretary- he will be most happy to show any gentlemen the whole history of Club."-But Mr. Talmage evidently has forgotten that a gentleman, acting. on behalf of the community, of Amoy, wrote to the Secretary asking where the Seamen's Club Committee obtained the authority to sell or rent the Club premises, and requesting to see the "Trust" deed. Did the 'Secretary furnish the information asked for i I trow not.
