The port Hon taken by the Rev. William
D. King In hi* Interview In the Morning
News yesterday, namely, (hat our gov
ernment Is ni.iklnx a mistake in with
drawing 8* troops from t’hlna. Is the same
•a thst taken by missionaries ttenernlly.
From his point of view it will not be |mw
sibie for the missionaries, for a time at
least, to eontinue their work In China
without the protection of foreign armies.
It Is a question whether missionaries nre
likely to arcompilifh much If they have
lo conduct their work supported by bul
lets and bayonets. Hut the fa t should
not be overlooked by our missionaries
that our government sent an army lo
China for the purpose of rescuing our min
ister und the occupants of the American
legation, and not to protect missionaries.
Our soldiers have, of course* protected
the missionaries as far as they could, but
It doesn't follow that they must remotn
In China In order to continue the protec
tion. It would Is- far leas ex|ienslve for
the missionaries to rciurn to this country
until peace was restored In China. He -
sides, the protection the troops would
give the missionaries. If they were to re
main. would he principally morttl. because
the missionaries arc al widely different
siatlons while the troops would be at only
one or two places—probably at Pekin ami
Tien Tsln.
In the dispatches an Intimation has ap
peared that It Is the purpose of the Chi
nese government to nsk. In its negotia
tions with the Powers, that missionaries
be withdrawn altogether from China It
Is hardly probable that It will do anything
of the kind, though It Is Admitted that
missionaries are one source of Irritation
and trouble. If It should nsk us lo with
draw our missionaries It Is difficult to see
how we could refuse and remain consist
ent. We have a law excluding Chinamen
from our country. Why have not the Chi
nese the same right to enact a law prohib
iting missionaries entering China? If th%y
should take that step we should have to
carry our religion lo them on the point*
of bayonets If we carried It la them all.
As o matter of fact Vre are not any
kinder to religions we don't like than are
the Chinese. In fact we are not so kind.
The Morning News published yesterday
an account of the tarring and feathering,
a day or two ago. of a rs .lies of Mormon
missionaries In one ot Ihe./ counties of
Florida. Indeed, th. mobbing of Mormon
missionaries is not an iiti-nmm.ii thing In
many ports of this country There are. It
seems. Boxers here as well as In China.
It Is difficult for a landsman to under
stand the value of the "naval maneuvers"
that have Just ler brought off at New
port. One small division of ships, aided
by a few torpolo craft, hive made sham
attacks upon another small division of
ships aided by shore batterta* and one
submarine boat. Fleetrl’ search lights
Instead of ehot snd sh.-ll were the means

"points" were made on each side, hut
nothing lhal occurred was In the least

If there were any opposition worth

The appeal, emkrrsed by the t love refer
of Texas, sent out by the Mayor and
members of the relief committee of Gal
veston ought to end doubtless will, meet
with a ready add liberal response. The
various elites of the countri’ have already
given liberally, snd money enough! has
been received to prevent anything tike
actual suffering. Just xih.at the amount
I* that has been sent to the atortn-strlok

hut It Is quite large. It Is by no mean*
as large, however, as that sent to the
Jtihftslown sufferers, which approximated

It Is stated that them are Vi.OflO people
In Galveston who are prartically homeless
.dome of them have housea that am roof
less, and other* are doing the best they
can under shells erected from the debris
of the storm. Very many are still crowd

houses. The most of, these people had
very llllie beyond the housea In which
they lived or the furniture their house*
contained They will have lo begin all
over again to build home* for themselves.
There Is plenty of work In Galveston.
There I* therefore no danger of starva
tion there. Hut some help ought to be
extended lo the homeless people They
ought to be aided In rebuilding thJr
houses.
No doubt a great deal of money has
been collected that has not yet boen for

money la being collected every day In
every par* of the country. Hut there Is
not enough In sight to do much toward
re-building homes. It will take pretty
nearly all that has thus far been received
to clear away the ruins and put the city
In condition for business. It Is Important
that obstructions to commerce shall be
removed as quickly as possible In order
that the needy shall have opportunities
of earning a living The fact lhal the

Commenting on the establishment of a

Journal says: “The laments of this new

A captain of volunteers Is quoted as say

—A writer in the Lon<ion Time* fur
nishes some interesting calculation* based
on the offi* ial statistic * of the losses of
the British army In th South African
war. He estimate* the mean strength ef
th** entire British forces engaged at f.2t*i
officers and IffUKO non-commissioned offi

the offic*'rs, 72.1 par 1,10(1 were killed or
died of wound*, nnd :iu.; psr I.OQO died

and 31.8 per 1.000 dt**l of disease, total.
>.K j*r 1,000. These figure# Indicate that
the officer# suffered In battle a loss three
and a half times us greet an that of the
m*n. and suffered equady from disease.
Kxa t figure-* would show tha* the per

show that In a force of 25.P** officer* and

Here also there 1* a large discrepancy he
tw#-en the number of officers nnd min of
tbe killed In typtle; but while in the

double chance of being killed as compured
with hi* tnen in Bouth Africa the Brit
t*b officer had to face three and a half
chances.
