For years there have been ccaaetess ru mors of the partition of China among the powers and the rumors have been a com pa riled by the h.ip|ef)lng of a.fuil events that mal# them easy to tie believ ed First one port of the Chinese Em pire and then another would t*e a#ixd by one of the Powers, until China has scarcely a first-class port which Is all It* own throughout the entire length of It* long coast line It has scarcely a pa •© anchor its own fleet. Mr Anthony contended that the state ments that have be#-n so freely made to the effect that miwsiotuirles in China are reponßible in whole or in part for the !*ox*r outbreak and the resulting chain nf events *an not he sub* t*n listed. In this connection, however. Mr. Anthony drew' a distinction between Catholic and Protestant miss lona rles, saying that the former always made mot* or less claim to temporal inser ;nd authority, while the latter contented themselves with sim ple parmts'-km to preach the gospel and freedom from molestation. By the treaty with the French government French Catholic priests hold under tha Chinese government civil rank cor responding to their rank in the church Mr Anthony thought It possible that gom* jealousy might obtain among the Chine#* on account of this privilege, but there was never any assumption *f a*- rular rank or power on th*- part of Protes tant missionaries It is true. Mr. Anthony said, that some remote cnne< lion may la* tra -ed between the outbreak of the |tox rs and the Protestant ml-sionarle*. In that the mis sionaries are In large part re*pon*|h> for •he growth of the spirit of improvement and (irogriiY amort a the better class of the Chinese, agtinsf whlib s|.irlt the rHjthrewk of the fioxers is the manifestation of tho reaction The large bmps of the Chinese •re of.|M>s#d in progress In any form and they derate any at tempt to change their ancient customs or to Improve upon their ancient civilisation as foolish and crimi nal Hut to aeek to find and fix the re- for the war In so roundsh>ut a fashion. Mr. Anthony thought manifest ly unfair. It wa* as though said Mr. Anthony, Or* it Itrgkk n should swo*.;> down tijMm the harbor of *N#w York and raise th* •British flag over the island of Manhatt.-in; that Germany should make up its mind that It liked the Mutation of !>hil<l<-!phta and pursue a similar uur*e there, the Japanese grab Ban Franc taco and the Austrians H.ivunn th. and the merry work proceed until there was not a |ort In the country over which floated the American flag. If such a thing should hapten In this country, there would tie no reason to search for explanation# for the state*of war that would result. It la the trouble In China. Then, said Mr Anthony. "The war haw nothing to do with us." The misslonar l*e will go anyhow', no matter what the nations of the earth do or fail to do They have accomplished already a great work In China and they aro building in • hat land anew heaven and anew earth.

A* to the prices for the growing crop, however, the statement •aye: "We are inclined to think that tvhen h* receipts are large, and there la an a<- ci mutation of stork, the famine ptlct* which have obtained for mme time pa*:, will hive to give way; hut l’ must be borne In mind that the season open* here of supplies, that sea I*.and now enter* Into the fabrications of many article* for which It wa* not use.l untli lately, and that large crops ere necessary to meet the reijulre tnetitw of the trade The supply doe* not [rtomlse to be greater than the probable dtmand. a larr* or T>ermanenc <>ecllnc. spoil cl not Ihert-fore be counted on; and If further disaster befall* the crop, price* m * v be higher than ihey are row "In Carolina there wae a slight Increase of acreage." says Mr Young, about the growing crop, "but the ***aihrr condi tion* hava been unfavorable, and it la doubtful the yield will egee-d that (A the last crop.

The Morning News’ telegraphic report* 7he other day con tained an account of the organisation of pea Island cotton farmer* for the purpose of having more to *ay as to the price of their product than they have previously had It I* currently reported that bankers at Valdosta, and other placea In Georgia where large lots of this cotton are re ceived, and also at different places In Florida, are offering good advances on cotton to be held for the prices It I* be lieves! conditions warrant, and which n Is believed will be had If farmers do not rush their cotton to market to be sold for what It will bring. The firm stand tok en by farmers generally In having some say about prices before they turn their crops loose on the markd ha# resulted In benefit to them which Is being especially Impressed Just now on the sea Island cot ton producer. From what can be gathered from fac tor* and h trade generally In Savannah the growing crop prosniess to he a light one.
