IO Ills J’olloy of \ot Discussing
Polities —One Reason Why He Is
popular With His Men.
Col. William Jennings Bryan of the
Xii i l Nebraska Regiment was somewhat
pleasantly surprised yesterday morning as
he ,vas nearing Savannah. A porter on
. train came to him with a copy of the
Morning News and directed attention to
ili,- item that his regiment was to meet
I,lm at the depot and escort him to the
camp.
in this way Col. Bryan was somewhat
prepared for the reception that awaited
him. although its warmth of cordiality
rvmi.,l have surprised any one else not
u ...p: anted with the strong attachment of
tin regiment for its commander.
W hen the train reached the cljy I.ieut.
Col. Vifqualn and some of the other offi
cer* were waiting for the colonel. The
twelve companies of the regiments were
drawn up on the street awaiting his com
ing and presented arms as he came in
s.glit. There were cheers for the colonel,
ao he mounted his horse, and the band
struck up a martial air as the regiment
started for the camp. Arriving there the
regiment was formed in a hollow square
on the parade ground and the lieutenant
colonel made a short speech.of welcome,
assuring Col. Bryan of the pleasure it
gave him, the other officers, and every
man in the regiment, to have their com
mander back in camp restored to health
an! ready to lead them wherever duty
might call.
There were more cheers as Col. Bryan
began his response. The colonel, after
thanking the regiment for its regard shown
by the honor paid him in the escort of
the morning, expressed the feelings of
satisfaction It gave him to return physical
ly sound and to iind the regiment also In
improved physical condition. While his
heart has been with them during his ab
sence he had had the satisfaction of know
ing that the men were in excellent hands.
Faying a tribute to the ability of the of
ficers the colonel then mentioned’ the
regret he had experienced at not being
with the regiment on Thanksgiving day,
the reports of the proceedings of which
had g.ven him much pleasure. The fact
that the Third Nebraska continued to
maintain a reputation for general excel
lence that must be gratifying to every
member of it, as well as to its friends at
home, was also referred to. At the close
there were three cheers from the soldiers
for the colonel.
"I am feeling quite strong and well
again, sard Col. Bryan to a Morning
News reporter later in the day. "My va
cation put me in good trim for whatever
may be ahead."
Col. Bryan was asked when he expected
to leave for Cuba.
"Soon, 1 piesume,” was the reply. “But
I have ceased to anticipate. We have ex
pected orders of one kind or another sev
eral times and found our expectations
poorly "based. We now wait for the event
to occur before prophesying. It Is natu
rully supposed, though, that the First Di
vision will soon follow the Second. In
deed, before leaving for the West, I, in
common with others, looked for the First
to get off first.”
W hen he reached his tent in the morn
ing the colonel found that during his ab
sence a regimental flag had been received
fiom the state and placed there awaiting
bis returns. The flag, a beautiful blue
sdk banner, with the coat of arms of the
state painted upon it, will be unfurled be
fore the regimental headquarters to-day.
■As he examined it yesterday afternoon,
Cos!. Bryan looked on one side and then
the other.
"The state's motto is not on It, X see,”
he said, f'lt is a grand motto, full of
meaning. The words are few, but they
are so expressive of the underlying prin
iple of our government that we might
'veil keep them before us all the time:
‘Equality before the law.’ ”
As he has consistently \done since he
entered the army, the Nebraska soldier
refused to discuss politics for publication.
Beyond stating that he arrived home in
lime to vote, he would make no comments
on the election.
Col. Bryan seemed considerably amused
at a dispatch which was printed yester
day to th'e effect that a number of lead
ing Populists had called on him while
home on the recent trip and Urged him to
change his minfl on the question of the
annexation of the Philippines, to which
In is generally regarded as being unalter
au.y opposed. In the original story, it
seems, it was said that a prominent Dem
ocrat, whose name was given, had called
lj n Col. Bryan for this pur
lose. The second story increased the one
i x mocrat to several, and gave more sig
nificance than ever to the alleged visits.
I he last version has changed the Demo
crats to Populists, and has made Col.
Bryan positively refuse to accede to their
requests. The basis of the story seems
*° have been that a Democrat, who is
known to be in favor of taking the Philip
pines, called on Col. Bryan while at home.
’I he clew was enough, and the enterprising
reporters and correspondents seem to have
done the rest.
''ol. Bryan refused to discuss the Philip
pines, but laughed over this incident.
i- rom some of the clippings that are sent
1 ° me," said he with a smile, “one might
suppose that 1 had a dozen views on the
- >me subject. Asa matter of fact I don’t
believe one man should have more than
two or three views on a single question,”'
and the colonel of the Third Nebraska
laughed again.
The colonel has never been known to
entertain more than one opinion on any
one subject, and Just now his opinion as
10 interviews seems to be that it is not
consistent with his position in the army
to indulge much in that direction. While
he may chat over politicnl matters with ills
personal friends here, or elsewhere, there
is no politick in camp. To all visitors he
the same, affable, pleased with the in
terest shown in his regiment and willing
lo do whatever is in his power to make
their stay in bis amp’.pleasant. The camp
doe's not suffer by comparison with that of
any of the other regiments, it is a model
of cleanliness and good discipline. At the
same time there is no unnecessary exhibi
tion of military red tape.
"That’s one reason why we are fond of
the colonel," said one of the privates yes
terday. "He is just the same as he was at
home. The fact that he wears a colonel’s
'taps and we are privates has not created
a gulf between us. If one of the boys wants
anything or feels that he would like a lit
tle advice about a private matter, he does
"”t hesitate to go to the colonel.”
Col. Bryan’s headquarters are as com
i"i table os it I* possible to make a tent.
With a stiff cold wind blowing that, he
'■ lid, "seemed like a reminder from home,"
it was coney. "The boys take good care
of me,” was his explanation.
In one of the pigeon holes of the colonel's
disk can be seen a leather back, gilt
edged book of modest proportions. The

soldiers say that it is a Bible, and they
add that the colonel is not infrequently
seen reading it.

the day.

MAKING I P ANNUAL REPORTS.
Methodist Ministers and Church Offl
eers Are Uusy.
The Methodist Churches of the city are
busy getting their affairs finally in shape
for the South Georgia conference, which
meets Wednesday at Hawkinsvilie. Re
ports have to be submitted by all pastors,
and it is desired by Savannah pastors to
have them as advantageous as they have
always been.
Conferences and meetings of the boards
of stewards and trustees of the churches
have been held during the last week, and
one or two such meetings were held yester
day. All of thfe churches have not raised
the siima apportioned to them by the con
ference for the year, and special efforts
will be made to-day to get up the addi
tional money needed. It is hoped that the
officers will be entirely successful.
Yesterday was the last Sunday the min
isters will be with their congregations un
til they return from conference. One of
them, Rev. Dr. James O. Branch, pastor
of Wesley Monumental, will not return
after the conference to resume his present
connection. This will be at hie request,
or rather, as the pastors cannot go where
they like in ail cases, a change wili be
satisfactory to him for reasons purely per
sonal. Although he has been in charge
of Wesley but a year, Dr. Branch has
endeared himself to the members of the
congregation, and they will regret his de
parture. He will, in all probability, be
placed In charge of one of the districts of
the conference as presiding eider.
All the other pastors will probably re
turn. Rev. J. H. Scruggs of Trinity and
Rev. E. F. Morgan of Seventh Street,
have cacti served in their present posi
tions for three years. The limit of time
they can spend in one charge is four
years, but it is said they will probably be
sent back, here to fill out this term. Rev.
Osgood F. Cook of Grace Church has
been here but a year. The return of all
these ministera would be welcomed by
their congregations, with whom they are
popular.
The preachers will leave to-morrow
morning by way of the Georgia and Ala
bama for Hawkinsvilie. They will be gone
for about a week.

Quarantine Station, Dec. 4.—Editor
Morning News: I request space in your
columns to correct certain statements
made in the article headed "Quarantine
Officer Complains.” In my letter lo the
health officer I complained of the Michi
gan not having been slowed down suffi
ciently, and of manure being thrown over
board while rr.y boat was alongside, and
that there seemed to be nobody aboard
who could atop the throwing of manure
for some time. I made no complaint of
treatment received after getting aboard
the transport or of not being able to make
a proper inspection, for the surgeon in
charge answered my questions very will
ingly, and if his answers hud Justified the
additional delay of Inspecting 600 people
aboard, I no doubt I would have been
assisted to do, so. I certainly think that
when it was known that the quarantine
officer would board the vessel, orders
should have been given by someone to
slow her down and to dis
continue throwing of stable sweep
ings overboard until myt boat
got alongside, and away from, the vessel.
By these orders apparently having not
been given, I did not consider I was given
proper treatment, and the boarding of the
transport was rendered exceedingly un
pleasant. I made the complaint in hopes
of a better understanding being arrived at
by pilots, master* of transports and the
quarantine officer as to the boarding of
thetc transports. VV'm. J. Lin ley,
Quarantine Officer.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, ISfiS.
CHIEF MISSION IS TO TEACH.
CHINESE SHW LI) RE EDUCATED t
CHRISTIANITY WILL FOLLOW .
I** v. Dr. Young J. Allen's Solntiou of
the Chinese Problem—His Address
at Wesley Mouumeuhtiil Chart'll
on “China Made Willing” Listened
to by a Large Congregation.
The congregation yesterday morning at
WeTTey Church listened to Rev. Dr. Young
J. Allen, one of the strongest ministers of
the day, and senior missionary of the
Methodist Church to China.
Dr. Alien preached on "China Made
Willing,” and many who heard him pro
nounced the exposition of the subject the
best ever heard in Safannah, or, in all
probability, anywhere eise. It sprang
from an experience of forty years in China
and close study and thorough research in
to the language, laws, customs, religion,
traditions and nature of the people.
With his natural ability and long resi
dence and study in China, Dr. Allen is
well qualified to deliver such an address
as could be equalled by probably no other
man. Those who heard him were impress
ed by many points he brought out. Strong
est of them ail, and one that wili probably
cause careful consideration from those to
whom the question hail not been before
presented, was the speaker’s idea of way
in which Christianity and weslern civ
ilization are to find their way into China.
It is not, he says, by sending missionaries
into the field to do deeds of charity. The
plan is a grander one in its comprehension.
It contemplates the education of the peo
ple of China to a point where the religion
of the Christians and the civilization of
the west will appeal to them as proper and
true. Then its adoption will follow, and
by this general result, achieved In a short
time after the people have been prepared
for it, more will be gained and gained
more speedily than by the pursuance of the
plan of Christianizing the people singly
and educating them as best they may be
educated.
Dr. Allen began his address by giving
bis audience an idea that it was not his
intention to say anything that might re
flect upon China. Before he had conclud
ed it was seen that he has a great ad
miration for the people and their coun
try. He esteems its civilization and finds
much in the Chlrtbse character to admire.
The Chinese whom we see here, he said,
are not Chinese. They do not come from
that portion of China that is the original
country and they do not represent China
at all. They are the descendants of peo
ples that have been conquered by the Chi
nese. Tire true Chinaman is an entirely
different creation and there is but Utils
similarity between him and those com
monly called Chinamen in this country.
The changed relations that have been
brought about between China and the
United States of late years Dr. Al.en dis
cussed at some length. There has been
complete alteration In the aspect 'of
China’s affairs. These changes, he said,
will be found in no book. They have
come about within the last forty years
and under Dr. Allen’s observation. They
have been gradual, but they have been
sure, and the progress of events is like
ly to bring China into better relations with
the countries of the West.
His subject, “China Made Willing,” Dr.
Allen said, means China made willing to
accept the advice and leadership of the
Western countries and to cast aside its
impenetrable armor of self-complacency
and satisfaction. By shot and shell this
willingness has been brought about, and
the policy that is being followed is in
creasing the .sentiment in favor of foreign
methods and foreign customs. Wars were
necessary with England and France, but
from these China learned a great deal. It
was discovered that the empire was not
invincible, as all Chinamen had deemed
It, apd that the other nations of the
earth could no longer be regarded as tribu
taries to China. In this connection Dr.
Allen mentioned Hon. John E. Ward of
Savannah, who went over to China about
the same time as the young missionary.
Mr. Ward was there to negotiate with the
government, and he carried presents to the
Emperor. These were regarded by the
Chinese as being nothing more than trib
utes from an inferior nation, and the car
that drew them to the palace showed in
its lettering that it was bearing tributes
to the Son of Heaven.
The war with Japan did much to in
fluence China in its desire to throw off the
conservatism of ages and gain something
of what Japan has gained by intercourse
with foreigners and the adoption of what
is good in the government, armies and
navies of other countries. Until the extra
territoriality and extra judiciary clauses
inserted in the treaties that were made
years ago with Japan and China, the
former country was no more advanced in
modern learning and modern achievements
than the latter. But the Japanese studied
out the question of what the right of res
idence and government by their own coun
tries meant for foreigners In their midst.
They saw to what it tended—an oppor
tunity for advancement to the plane of
the countries of the west. Commerce was
established and no chance was left untak
en for the betterment of the Japanese qs a
nation. The result was that the people
absorbed so much from those who came
among them that they were able to whip
China in a short war. With a powerful,
though small, neighbor at the threshold
who might be able to inflict defeat at any
lime, ctiina saw that it would have to
awaken to the situation. There is now
more likelihood of the hampering tradi
tions of ages being thrown off and the
civilization of the west being introduced to
make China the equal of Japan.
There is no shade of progress about the
Chinese civilization, but as a nation and
a people Dr. Allen holds that the Chi
nese stand at the very apex of human
achievement. “We know,” he said, “what
the Greeks and Romans had of civiliza
tion by their works, but to our Ignorance
of the Chinese is due the fact that we
know nothing of their civilization, and are
apt to belittle it.” Morally and intellec
tually, the Chinese are regarded by Dr.
Allen as the equal of any people. It is
the religion and superstition of the coun
try that retards its progress. As the
country was thousands of years ago, so
It stands to-day. The doctrines of Con
fucius taught the people to remain unto
themselves, and they have faithfully done
so, except during the last few years. They
regard their Emperor as the greatest man
on earth, the fon of heaven, and the ruler
over all the earth. People of all other
nations come under the generic name of
foreigner, there being no distinction of
Englishman, American or Frenchman with
them. It is enough to know that they
are not Chinamen. And they view people
of ail other nations as those of other na
tions view them. Mutually they exchange
the same epithets in speaking of each
other, and the Chinese think there is noth
ing good outside of China. America they
sneer at, and decry a nation of but an
age of 125 years. They, with their Emper
ors ruling in the time of Nebuchadnezzar,
wonder at the effrontery of a people of
but little more than a century attempting
to teach them anything.
The size, population, natural advantages
and resource* of China were partly enum-
erated by Dr. AJ.len, and he told a story
of untold wealth. He feftt red to the vast
enterprises that i have already, Ken set
afoot by foreign capital, and to the aid of
commerce and missions he looks for the
final uplifting atyi regeneration of China.
For both he quoted divine injunctions,
showing that it is commanded that com
merce t>e carried on throughout the world
and that missionaries be sent to all the
corners. The work of missionaries, he
holds, shall be to teach. In that lies the
redemption of China. lie himself lias fol
lowed this plan, and it has been his guid
ing star in the hard light he lias made in
the east. Himself a great exponent of
learning, the doctor has tried to introduce
it into China. He has done more to bring
the sciences and mathematics into the
country than any man.* In other branches
there is a Chinese learning, and careful
training and study In it is given. Great
universities have been established and
these will fos'er learning in the branches
of which tHe great mass of the people
know nothing. Education among the Chi
nese is as it was in educated Europe In
but little later than the time of the
Saviour. There Is a great opportunity for
evangelizing. Dr. Allen says, supplied in
the Chinese language. A work translated
into the tongue may be read by 500,000,009
people, and the number the Bible would
thus reach may be seer.. Books he has
translated have been bought in greatest
quantities by the Chinese, one edition hav
ing run to 400,000.
Demonstrations are what tlie Chinese
want. Dr. Allen says it has Ken his ex
perience that a thing has but to be proven
good to them und they adopt it as their
own. But let Americans., Englishmen ’dr
others from the west get among them
with the improvements that the spirit of
progress has wrought and there will be a
change. He has faith in China and in its
ultimate adoption of western civilization.
It will be after a struggle, but the dem
onstration of advantages will win the
fight and then will come the era of Chris
tianity in the country.
Dr. Allen’s address was lpngthy, an hour
and a half, but it was thoroughly enjoyed.
Many went up after jhe services to ex
press their pleasure upofi having had an
opportunity to hear him and to say that,
they wished he might have .been able to
talk even longer.
Dr. Allen qpoke last night at Grace
Church. To-day he will leave for Haw
kinsvilie, where he will attend the meet
ing of the South Georgia conference. His
mission to the United States is to meet
with as many of the bodies of the church
as iiossible for the discussion of his work
and its field. ,

C. 11. J. Taylor, editor of the Appeal,
published in Atlanta, is in the city. ll.’ is
here to get subscribers for his paper. lie
is a oolored man, who, for many reason*,
deserves the support and encouragement
not only of the leaders and best thinkers
of his own race, but of the white people
also. It will be remembered that this man
has the distinction pf being very popular
with the Southern white people. For
more than twenty years he has been busy
trying to have his people see that their
best Interests, are In cultivating friendly
relations with the white people of the
South, among whom most of them live,
i'tuil recent years, on account of his poli
ties, he has not had much weight with
them. In 1895 he received great aid by the
stand taken by Hooker T. Washington in
his great speech, delivered at the opening
of the Atlanta exposition. Mr. Cleveland
named C. 11. J. Taylor oftener for posi
tions than one I’resldent in the country
ever named a negro, and this was ap
proved by all the white Southern leaders,
for Taylor, during his whole career, lias
been consistent and uniform in preaching
the doctrine of peace. He is the only ne
gro in the world that ever resigned u posi
tion paying *3,000 a year. This was the
position of United States minister to Li
beria, to which Mr. Cleveland appointed
him during his tirst term. Bather than
stay- in Liberia and have his people mis
understand his iK>sitlon with reference to
that country and the Democratic party,
he returned to America and gave up the
office. He Is the only negro ever elected
by Democrats to a national convention by
the largest vote cast In the
convention for delegates, Mr. Cleve
land named him for envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to Bolivia,
South America. Tile tirst instance In
America, and the only one, where a negro
was named as envoy extraordinary, etc., to
the white government. The Senate of the
United States adjourned before this ap
pointment was reached for confirmation.
Mr. Cleveland then named him for recor
der of deeds for the District of Columbia,
This is the most honorable and best pay
ing position ever held by a negro in the
history of the government. This position
used to be one that payed nearly *20,009
a year, over and above the running ex
penses, the incumbent being paid in fees.
When 'Mr. McKinley came into otiice
Taylor resigned. Since his resignation he
has been in Atlanta, where he is publish
ing a newspaper from u building which he
has erected in that city. He has letters
from many of the leading mm of the
country, including Cleveland, Bryan, Sen
ator Jones, ex-Gov. Atkinson, the present
Gov. Candler and State Chairman dußig
non, and unlike in former days, he Is now
popular with all the bishops, leading
preachers, teachers and foremost people of
his own race. Yesterday he was prevail
ed uiion to deliver an address to the Beth
Kden Baptist Sunday school and to the
young men and women of Ills race that
meet in song service every Sunday after
noon in the Colored Congregational
Church in this city, lie was a newsboy
for the Morning News years ago, and a
very good one he Is reported to have l>een.
He has made a success of his life and is
entitled to encouragement. He Is doing
much good and ought not to have to ask
twice for the kind of assistance he desires.
He is a colored man of tact, discretion
and judgment, and should be given an op
portunity to wield influence with his race
in the communities he visits.
