A correspondent writing from Hankow A. S. WATSON & CO. to the North-China Daily News sees some- thing very ominous in the persistent demand of the Chinese for a free hand with native Christians, "which," he says, "is the plain English of it." He goes on to quote, and to endorse, a recent remark of Dr. MARTIN, who has devoted more than fifty years to mission work in China, that in the present reform movement there is no room for Christianity." This is a striking state- ment, coming from one of so much ex perience as Dr. MARTIN, and the supporters of the missionary movement would do well to reflect upon it. If the reformers, the party to which we must necessarily look for whatever progress China is likely to make room for in the near future, find no Christianity in their programme, does it not suggest itself that the preachers of On the 18th January, at Nagasaki, du vifo Christianity have gone a wrong way about MALCUA Mess, of a son.

A New York telegram to a Manila newspaper states that there was a lot discussion in the Seunte on the subject of the conduct of the Army in the Philippines. Party lines wors sharply drawn and tán debate was animated between the Republicans, defending the Army, and the Democrats, who alleged gross cruelties perpetrated by American soldiers. The prin cipal subject of the discusion was the killing of Father Augustine in Panay. The Democrats declared that this act was murder and denounced the policy of the administration and the conduct Ca of the Army. The Republicans replied that in the War of the Rebelliou smeller crimes than that of Father Augustine had resulted in the hanging of American citizens. A strong

effort is being made by the anti-imperialists to secure prosecutions for the alleged outrage on the priest.
