TIO*.
In dealing with the Chinese situation
the diplomatists, from prevnt Indications,
have a task that will be longer and harder
than that which the generals had who
rescind the foreigners who were besieged
In (he British legation In Pekin. It was
hoped that as soon as the work of rt • u-
Ing the minister! 1 was completed, the Pow
ers would have but little difficulty in
agreeing upon a policy lo he pursued In
dealing with China. It Is loginning to lie
apparent, however, that It will not be an
easy matter to reach an agreement. The
Powers, with the exception of the Frilled
Stales, are Jealous of each other. Each
one suspects the other of de.-lgiis on C’hl
neae territory, and. consequently, no one
of them puts full conlldence In lha declar
ations of the other The I'nlted States
and Russia are willing to withdraw from
Pekin at once. They have reached an
understanding on that point. Russia, In
deed, Is ready to withdraw from China,
and It I* probable that the I'nlted Slates
are also witling.
The other Powers are now debating the
question as to whether they are wi ling
to withdraw from Pekin. It Is said that
England was very much surprised lo learn
that the I'nlted States hud agreed with
Russia to withdraw from Pekin. She does
not trust Russia. Her Idea Is that Russia
Is anxious for peace now In order lo com
plete flu* Siberian Railway, because, when
she has completed the road, she will be
In a position to seise the whole of Man
chuila If that Is Russia's purpose she
has given no evidence of it. Naturally
England does not want to withdraw from
China without an understanding aa to
whether Russia Intends to selxe n part of
the territory of the Chinese Empire in
the near future.
The belief Is that Germany will not con
sent to the Russo-Amerlean proposition.
It Is believed to be her purpose to de
mand a very large Indemnity In territory
for the assassination of her minister A
German field marshal has ta-en appointed
lo command the allied forces, and It Is
not probable that Germany will he willing
to withdraw her troops from Pekin be
fore his arrival, and the chances are that
she will not consent to their withdrawal
unlit the question of Indemnity Is settled
Japan was cheated out of the solid ben
efits of her successful war with China In
105. and It may be considered certain that
•he Intends to have her share of what
ever benefits come from the present trou
ble with China. Neither France, Austria
nor Italy has given any Intimation as lo
what she thinks of the Russo-American
position, and It Is probable that nothing
will be heard from them until they know
the decision of England and Germany.
It Is quite aafe to say, however, that
there will not be a prompt agreement be
tween the Powers. The chances are rath
er against an agreement being reached.
In the meantime the American people are
anxious that the Amerhwn troop* shall
be withdrawn from Pekin, and even from
China. They are apprehensive that If
they are kept there while the Powers are
trying lo reach an understanding there
will he complications that will lead to
further and more serious trouble. TTie
United States do not want any territory
They simply want equal trade advantages.
It Is doubtful If there would be an effort
to deprive them of theae advantage* even
If they should withdraw from China at
once.
THE (iRKAT ROT.UL STHKKT.
Thirty years ago It was seriously pro
posed lo open Hull street through the
public squares. with a view to making it
the chief retail business atreet of the city;
ami this year Alderman Dixon has advo
cated rutting through certain Minorca on
Abercorn atreet, after the manner that
a proposed (or Hull at reel aa an ex
periment. anti to let the jceople ace how
that atreet would look and what a con
venience the improvement would be. If
ihe change would be good thing for
Abercorn atreet. It would be a better one
for Bull. Forcibly It may take the peo
ple thirty year* more to come to thla
way of thinking, bui then again It may
be that, aa In the c**e of the removal of
the Iron f.nce around Forsyth Dark, they
may aooner moke up their minds to ac
cept modern progresalve ideas, und con
sent to have the central and principal
street of the city opened up for business
development. That the trend of retail
trade |s towards Bull street, the logical
situation for It. Is plainly to be seen In
the new stores that have lately been built
und occupied In both the old and th
newer sections.
The growth of the city Is southward
and the great retail street must
eventually run lengthwise the city.
And there is no other street so well
adapted to retail business purposes as
Bull street. If it were cut through the
squares, leaving small parks on each able
of the roadway at the present park place*,
there would be no more convenient and
handsome business street to be found in
any city.
It is a noticeable fact that very few
resiliences front on Hull atreet. Asa rule
the buildings facing that thoroughfare
are stores, churches or public buddings;
and the number of commercial houses on
it are steadily- increasing In number
Without any injury to either public or
rnvaie property, the roadway might well
be extended not only through the small
squares, but through the park and the
military parade ground to the southern
extension of the street to the city limits.
And this done. Bavannah would have one
of the tlneat business streets and prome
nades In the world.
A HUMP UIHIIKA CHI R( H.
In many cities churches and theaters
close their doors during the hottest
months of summer. In the case of the
former the pastor goes away to some re
sort. leaving a substitute to attend to the
marriages, christenings and deaths during
his absence. But In the ease of the 'al
ter there Is only a removal to the roof
garden and a lightening of the ehararter
of the amusement. That the roof garden
Is a popular place of resort on warm
evenings Ims been abundantly demon
strand, and (he institution has come to
stay.
If the garden on the roof is a good thing
for -the away," why is It not a good
thing for the church? If vaudeville amid
palms and lanterns. In the higher and
cooler atmosphere above the auditoriums
proves so attractive, would not services
of songs ami sermon* amid similar sur
roundings prove equally gratifying and
attractive to church-going people? A
congregation at Columbus, Inrt., has taken
tiila vle/f of the mallei: god cotuuucted
THE MOKMKG NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1000.
Its new church minus a tall steeple, hut
with n commodious and attractively ap
pointed roof garden. In arrangement the
t hurch might be called a three-decker It
has an auditorium In the basement, an
other on She main floor, and a third on Ihe
roof. The last named la modeled after
the theatrical roof gardens, with open
side* and protective hjllustradea around
ihe wall*. Illa adorned wllh ferns, palms
and potted plants. At one end la a plat
form, which, however. Is moveable. so
that It may be transferred to any desired
■usltion. The lighting la done wllh rle -
lilc bulhe. ami fancy lanterns may be
employed upon occasion. It la probable
aLo that a fountain will be Installed, in
order to secure a further cooling of the
atmosphere and a more gerden-llke effect.
It Is flaking nothing to gay that the Co
lumbus roof garden church will prove pop
ular. There will be none ol the hot
stuffiness about that auditorium which
characterises nsmy church Interiors dur
ing the summer months. There will be *
restful, refreshing atmosphere about the
open air plan* of worship which will ap
peal to many person# who might not oth
erwise attend the services. The Innova
tion of Ihe Columbus congregation Is one
worthy the careful consideration by other
congregations contemplating the building
of church edifices. To adopt the roof gar
den as un adjunct to the church might se
riously Interfere with the accepted styles
of church architecture, but that ought lo
lie a secondary consideration If II will
extend the Influence of the church and
strengthen Its hold upon Ihe people.
IIAI.K'n IUH'OMimTBAT I'OMITIO*.
Senator Hale of Maine Is making
speeches In his state, urging his constitu
ents to support Mr. McKinley, although
he Is opposed to the Philippine policy of
the Republican parly. He opposed the
ratification of the Parts treaty by which
this country acquired sovereignty of the
Philippines. In his speeches he says that
Mr McKinley should be re-elected and
the Republican party continued In power
because the Philippine policy of that
party will ultimately be rejected by the
people.
That la a rather remarkable position to
take. If Henator Hale la against hold
ing the Philippines as a permanent pos
session he ought to have the courage of
his convictions and vote wllh the parly
that Is pledged to give the Filipinos an
Independent government. What assur
ance has he. If Mr. McKinley Is re
elected, that the people will reject the
Philippine policy of Ihe Republican party?
Will not that parly take the re-election
of Mr. McKinley as an Indorsement of
Its policy? It certainly will.
The re-election of Mr McKinley means
the retention of she Philippines. Nobody
knows that better than Senator Hale.
He I* simply misleading the people when
he tell* them that the Imperialistic pol
icy of the Republican party will not pre
vail even though that party Is Indorsed
at the polls.
Neither Senator Hale nor Senator Hoar
haa shown Idmself Mg enough to rise
above parly line*. They are clear-head
ed enough to see what la right, but they
have noi the courage to do what I* right.
In their speeches In the Senate they both
took a position against the Philippine
policy of their parly, but being unable to
control their party, they weakly yielded
to party Influences, und are now advo
cating Mr. McKinley's re-election.
They are trying to excuse their Incon
sistency and weakness by attacking Mr.
Bryan for urging the ratification of the
treaty by which the Philippines were ac
quired. They aeem to think that Mr.
Bryan Is to blame for the apectade they
are making of themselves before the
country. What hurls them Is Ihe knowl
edge that Mr. Bryan has been consistent
throughout. He did urge the ratifica
tion of Ihe treaty, but at the same time
he Insisted that a resolution should be
adopted declaring It to be the policy of
the government to give the Filipino* Ihetr
Independence— lo deal with them Just o*
It was proposed to deal with the Cu
bans. Ills position on the Philippine
question Is Impregnable from any point
of view, and that Is the reason they dis
like him so heartily and abuse him so
viciously.

A young woman of Washington birth and
rearing, who ha* made her home for the**
three years (vast tn a small Indiana town,
says in Ihe Washington I’ost that for tact
and diplomacy she knows nobody to equal
her neighbors there. She had scarcely
settled herself In her new home when one
day she heard a hen proudly cackling !n
her bark yard. She went out to see what
could have bought a strange hen Into her
yard and found that the fowl had Just laid
mi egg tn the woodbox outside the kitchen
door. \\ title she wan *llll wondering where
on earlh the crealure had come from, the
shock head of a thin and tall girl of IS
ro*e from the yard of Ihe house next door.
Hello. ' said the girl.
"Good morning," answered the Wash
ingtonian.
"We got a plenty o' eggs." remarked Ihe
girl. "Maw say* you kin have that one
our hen Jes' laid In that woodbox o'
yourn."
"Thank you. very much," said Ihe
Washingtonian.
The girl still hung on the fence.
"We ain't goln' to charge you nothin' fer
It." she went on.
' That'# very kind, Indeed." answered
Ihe new neighbor.
"IP* a gift," remarked the girl.
Then there wae silence for a few mo
ments. The girl sIIU clung lo her side
of the fence.
"Say." she said, finally, "maw says now
you're acquainted with us folks she’d like
to borrow a tack hammer.”

other morning in the uncertain light that
comes In the windows when the milk wag
ons rattle In the street*. He was tired
and he wanted sleep. He thought he saw
the folding-bed In a corner of hts room.
It did not take him long to pull It down
and lift the cover. Then he fell In and
closed his eyes. Rumbling cable*, whis
tles of Industry and nothing else disturb
ed him. He snored while the hours slip
ped.
"H-henry!” chirped a voice from the
kitchen, "breakfast! breakfast!" Bur
Henry slept on and the Itttle woman with
dough-coated Angers came around to hlr
door.
"Henry, It I* after ♦ ; get up!"
"Le*h me alone!” mumbled the occu
pant.
"But you must get up. Henry.” and
she opened the door and entered. The
sight was ludicrous, hut not to her.
"Get up from there!" she blurted, pull
ing at his coat collar.
"Resit me alone!" he protested.
"Do you know what you are lying In?"
"Foldin' bed!"
"No. you are Inside of Ihe grandfath

"Now, children," said Ihe Sunday school

There was a long silence, say* the Chi

over and looked at one another and drew
long breaths, but none of them said any
