THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1898-24 PAGES. AMERICA AND CHINA et A Big Field for Enterprise in the Far East. “AN INTERVIEW WITH MINISTER WU Assurances of a Hearty Welcome in the Orient. AWAKENING OF AN EMPIRE HWritten for ‘The Evening Star. U TING FANG, the QV casese minister to the United States, is a wonderfully inter- esting man. With the exception of Li Hung Chang, he ts doubtless the ablest and most progressive statesman of celes- tial origin who has ever visited the Unit- ed States. For that matter, he is more closely in touch with and American habits of thought ng Chang himself. He speaks n language with a faultlessness nd of idiom which many a na- American might envy and which y4s equaled by no,other Chinese public man. He is familiar with American and Euro- nd business.

I live in hope that what- ever may be the differences between the two countries, they will disappear. China desires to hold friendly relations with all | the world, end particularly with the United States.”"* “What are the commercial relations be- China c tween the Chinese empire and the Philip- pines?” China and the Philippines. “They are very great. You will appre- ciate this more strongly when I say that over one hundred thousand Chinese in- habit these islands. Steamers continually run back and forth’ between Hong Kong and other Chinese ports and Manila, ex- changing the products of the two coun- tries. China has, as you will see, a direct interest in the Philippines. Many of the islands were settled by the Chinese, who have, as a matter of course, aided greatly in their development. It is as if a few thousand or more Americans had emi- grated to some islands off the Atlantic or Pacific coast and there built up a remuner- ative trade with their mother country. The maternal instinct ought to be as strong in nations as in individuals. The mother can- not forget the child she has borne and reared through much suffering. I say this merely to illustrate how we feel towa those of our own blood on these islands.” “Would the pessession of the Philippines by the United States help to enlarge our trade with China and other eastern coun- tries, and how?” Wider Interests. “This would seem to be the natural ef- fect of such a situation, but to answer this question in its full significance will require time, and the time has not yet arrived when the question can be answered prop- erly. In general, of course, wider inter- mean wider trade, but the old saw, Never cross a bridge until you come to it,’ may well apply to this case.” “Would the pos: ion of the Philippines by the United Stat increase the estima- tion in which the United States is held by the people of China and other eastern peo- ples?” “It fs beyond my province to answer this question directly. In discussing the Philip- pines just at this juncture one approaches the danger line. Personally I hold very de- cided views on the eastern question, but as I cannot divorce my individuality from my office I must decline to discuss this particu- lar aspect of the question.” “You speak of the progress being made by China in a material way. What about that?” “fo appreciate that remark one must thoroughly understand the Chinese char- acter. China to the world at large is an unknown land. Notwithstanding all that has been said and written, the Chinese are a very practical people. They are not meved with the fiery energy of the Anglo- Minister Wu Ting Fang. Saxon. They go slow, and hold to the things they have. Time was when the masses opposed with a spirit even of fanat- fcism all internal improvements. That spirit only exists now In isolated instances. Reforms are now welcomed as never be- fore. The people are seized with the spirit of progress. We are a nation of 400,000,000. As it is a law of nature that large bodies shall move slowly, China is not to be judged in her forward movement with a smaller nation, Nevertheless we are moy- ing forward. The Genius of China. “The genius of China is not in the line of the acquisition of territory. Were she circumscribed in territory, perhaps her am- bition might be for more. It has been said of her by Lord Wolesley that in time she will overrun the world with her millions of inhabitants. No one need fear such a result. Genghis Khan is pointed to as a bright exemplar of what the Chinaman will do when he once sets about it. But that illustrious warrior was a Mongul. Now the Chinese are not Monguls, in the proper sense of the word, although the masses of mankind “so believe. The Chinese are a dis- tinct race altogether. No, we shall be satisfied if we are let alone and allowed to work out our destiny as a nation in our own way. That way may not be the way of the European cr American; but it is the way best suited to the peculiar na- ture of the race or races which inhabit what is known as China. “A national awakening is already going on. Some years ago a Chinese diplomat in Great Britain wrote an article which ex- elted much discussion in Americd and on the continent, the opening sentence of which was, ‘China awake!” That watch- werd is on the lips of millions today, al- though when it was uttered it sounded like a discordant note. China is awake. It is no small task to lift a nation to the plane of the high ideals of her wise men. But when a people once awake to the dangers which surround them, they make rapid progress. China is not in such an advanced Stage of decomposition as. some affect to believe.

Dr. Parsons, formerly of this city, but for some years past chaplain of one of the largest Catholic seminaries for young ladies in the archdiocese of Baltimore, cele- brated the fiftieth anniversary of his ordi- nation as a priest this week. Father Par- sons 13 the oldest Catholic priest in point of active service in America. He is of En- glish descent. When Lord Baltimore or- ganized his colonists to found a colony in America, where religious freedom should prevail, the ancestors of Father Parsons sought the opportunity to escape the se- vere laws enacted in England against Cath- olics, They landed at St. Mary’s with Lord Baltimore, and took a prominent part in the affairs of the new colony. When the revolutionary war broke out many of Father Parsons’ ancestors fought for the independence of the colonies, and also lent considerable findnelal ald to the cause. At an early age he showed an inclination for a religious life, and was entered as a stu- dent at St. Mary’s Seminary, where he pur- sued his preparatory and theological courses. Among his classmates were the late Father Coskery, who was at one time vicar general of the archdiocese of Balti- more, and Father Dolan, who for many years was pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Baltimore. Father Parsons was ordained a priest at the cathedral by Archbishop Eccleston, August 16, 1845. His first appointment was as assistant priest at St. Vincent’s Church, Bafimore. There were 7,000 members of the congregation, with only two priests to administer to their spiritual welfare. His aext post of labor was at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington. He was next appointed to a professor- ship in St. Mary’s Seminary, which at that time had both secular ang clerical stu- dents. Many prominent young men were his pupils. He resigned his position at the seminary and became assistant to the late Rev. Edward McCoigan, V. G., leaving the latter to accept his present post. A large number of church people of Washington have gone to Ocean Grove to attend the various annual religious meet- ings which began during the first week or will be held next week. Until Thursday the camp grounds were oecupied by the Sunday School and Chau- tauqua Assembly, which has, next to the School of Theology, become the most im- portant gathering of the summer there. The managers of the assembly are endeay- oring to make {t compare favorably with the original Chautauqua. New - depart- ments ‘will be added from year to year and the faculty strengthened. Bishop J. H. Vincent, the father and chancellor of the Chautauqua, gave several lectures, includ- ing the address of commencement day, Thursday, Rev. J, L, Hurlbut, D. D., prin- cipal of the Chautauqua Literary and Sci- entific Circle, is scheduled for two lec-. tures. The evenings will be given up to popular lectures and entertainments. Bish- op Vincent will present the diplomas and seals to the Chautauqua graduates. The King’s Daughters will hold their an- nual convention there next week, with the president, Mrs. Margaret Bottome, in charge. Among those who are expected to take part in the various exercises are Rev. Dr. Bristol of Washington, D. C.; Prof. S. F. Upham, D. D., of Drew Theological Seminary; Rey. Josiah Strong, D. D., of New York, author of “Our Country; Miss Louise N. Hodgkins of the Auburndale (Mass.) Female Seminary; Principal A. H. Black of the Hudson River Institute, Hud- son, N. Y.; Rev. Julius E. Grammar, D. D. the Baltimore divine; Colonel W. Barnes; Mrs. J. E. Price, wife of the Rev. Dr. Price of Sing Sing; Miss Sarah A. Whiting of the faculty of Wellesley Col- lege: Samuel S. Hodgkins, New York; Prof. Frank R. Robertson, the well-known traveler and lecturer; Thomas C. Hoge, a Brooklyn lawyer who has retired from act- ive practice; Rev. 8. E. Simonson, pastor of the Bethel Norwegian Mission, Brook- lyn, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Buck of Mount Vernon, N. Y. Seme persons in this city who are much interested in the affairs of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary have re- ceived official copes of the letter of resig- nation of Rev. Dr. Whitsitt, president of the institution, which was handed in sev- eral days ago. Dr. Whitsitt’s resignation cannot be acted on until the next regular meeting of the trustees, which will be in May, 1899, when the southern Baptist con- vention meets in Louisville. The agitation against Dr. Whitsitt has been going on for more than two years. It began soon after the appearance of a small monograph written by him on the subject of the practice of immersion by early English Baptists. He took the posi- tion that for a certain brief period immer- sion was not practiced by the early Eng- lish church. An article which he contrib- uted to the Johnson's Encyclopedia also gave material to his critics. A brisk con- troversy as to the accuracy of his views soon took on more or less of a partisan and personal character. Much bad feeling seemed to be engendered, and each side added fuel to the flames ‘by accusing the other -side of resorting to unfair tactics, including even falsehood and forgery. The matter was twice before the trustees of the seminary and before the trustees of the southern Baptist convention. On beth occasions the friends of Mr. Whitsitt triumphed. Although the controversy had not up to this time injured the seminary, some of the friends of the institution, in- cluding several members of the faculty, who have heretofore stood by Dr. Whit- sitt, began to take alarm. They did not Want to share the responsibility of con- tiruing a fight which seemed endless and which had aiready created so many aliena- ticns in the denomination, and was likely to create more. They also feared the ef- fect of such determined hostility to the seminary. They, therefore, advised him to resign, and after consultation with his friends he did so. Dr. Whitsitt had been connected with the seminary for many years. He has occu- pied the chair of church history and ranks among the most eminent authorities on that subject. The agitation has been. most dis- tasteful to him, and his friends declare he has been greatly relieved at having reach- ed a point where he believes a sufficient Vindication has been given him to step out. The friends of Rev. Sam W. Small of this city, and, indeed, in every part of the ccuntry where Mr. Small is known, are gratified that President McKinley has ap- peinted him chaplain in the army. From the first, “Sam,” as he is popularly known, has wanted to go to the front, primarily because he wanted to be of service to the boys; secondarily, because he thought the experiences in Cuba would: be worth the while, and incidentally because he would not be averse to the position of chaplain in the regular army. It is the universal belief that these regiments of the United States volunteers, to one of which Mr. Small will be assigned, will be ones selected to remain tn the permanent establishment, if there are any additions to that, as every- body believes there will be, and It is very probable that the former Georgian wiil get all three of his wishes. That is, of course, if the end of the war doesn’t come too soon, A prominent member of the Christian Scientists’ Society in Washington says the Christian Scientists show a wonderful alility to increase in numbers, and to ob- tain funds for the erection of new and sumptuous places of worship. Following close upon the general announcement of the fact that 1,8 new members joined the Scientist Church in Boston a week ago is a rumor that Second Church, New York, is to erect a place of worship at a cost of $125,000. The large number of new mem- bers announced from Boston signifies the number joining all Christian Science churches in the country, for there is, or- garically, but one Christian Science church, and that the Boston one. All other churches are parts of this, the mother church of all. It is now pretty well understood that the Scuthern Methodist Church will return to Congress the $288,000 voted by it to that de- nomination to compensate it for the de- struction of its property at Nashville, Tenn., during the civil war. The refund will be made, if made, on account of the manner in which the agents of the church are alleged to have secured the passage of the bill. One of the leaders of the church, in ereaking of the matter, said: “To my mind, enough was said by sena- tors at the time the bill was passed, to say nothing of what they have said since, to create the impression that they were mis- led, certainly to show that they raise the question of our honesty in the matter, and that is enough to indicate clearly that the money should go back. “Besides, some of the senators spoke of the claim as if they thought the granting of it was a gratuity or charity to our church, and that of itself should arouse our pride and cause us to return the money. Our church does not need, nor want, even a just debt paid to her through any de- ception, alleged or real, or because of any plea of benevolence or charity. The money is ours, that cannot be questioned, and we had a right to do as we pleased with it when it was paid, but we want it to be paid to us justly and without any question of our right or shadow of doubt as to the kenesty of our methods of cbtatning it. ‘However, I will not argue that point. We are truly glad that the bishops have taken the position which they occupy in giving us that assurance, and we defer to their judgment as being possibly the best under all circumstances. We only regret, and we will never cease to regret, that this action was not taken by the general conference in Baltimore, before the Senate had raised any question of deception, and when the matter was in our hands alone. Some of the members of that body saw the inevitable, and unceasingly and without stint urged action. But it is useless to spend time er life in vain regrets, Let us now go forward. We can show to the world that our church can be tried and proved to be true.” Baptists have already accepted an invi- tation for their May anniversaries of next year, The invitation came from the First Church of San Francisco. This will be the first time these anniversaries have gone be- yond the Rocky mountains. They bring together about two thousand of the active workers in Baptist benevolences. The rea- son for going to San Francisco, apart trom the stimulus given to Baptist interests on the Pacific coast, is the fact that it is just fifty years since the Baptist work was un- dertaken in California. It was the year of the gold fever and the latter had the effect of taking from Oregon, where Baptists ha? established themselves earlier, almost every officer in every church, many of whom left in search of gold. Ministers even left to dig for the precious metal, and church interests came to a standstill. The occasion next year is to be made a great one in Baptist circles of the Pacific coast. ‘The convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, to be held in Baltimore at the end of September, is a national, not an inter- rational gathering, as has been announced, and its date w: named to immediately precede that of the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Wash- ingtoh, in order to enable bishops and clergy who come here, but who have never attended a convention of the young men of the communion, to do so this year. Thé bishop of southern Virginia will deliver the annual charge, and the Rev, Dr. W. S& Rainsford of New York will preach the an- nual sermon. Bishop Paret of Maryland will conduct the service in preparation for the corporate communion. @ Sunday aflernoon mars meeting will have “Indus- trial Ethics” for its topic, and one of the speakers will be Jacob A. Riis, the reform- er who made such a hit at Buffalo last year; and another, R. Fulton Cutting, of the Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor of New York, At the evening end final service the topic will be “The. Re- sponsibility.of the Church in the Life of the Nation.” Bishop Satteriee of Washing- ton will preside, and the speakers will be Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts, Bishop Deane of Albany and Mr. George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia, : MODERN DRESSING TABLES. Some Pretty Désigna, That Add Much to the Room. From Harper's Bazai A-smart dressing tae is now considered an absolute necessity in every well-fur- nished bed room, and it is surprising, too, how many different kinds there are of this most useful piece’ of furniture. The most expensive ones are those in marqueterie and the fancy woods,, and most beautiful they are in their finish and design, but the cheap ones made‘of white wood and paint- ed with enamel paint’ are most effective, while. the upholstered Style that we have all been familiar with for many years is again greatly in favor. The newest are shaped in a curvé, have a glass fastened to them, two sets of drawers on either side, or else one long drawer. These are to be found, as has been said, in the cheap as well as the expensive ones, and many a young girl whose means are limited has Draped With Figured Muslin. made herself one by painting over some old piece of furniture. This is not recom- mending the painting over of a mahogany dressing table the wood of which has be- come defaced by long service. The upholstered dressing tables always help to furnish a room, and are always ex- ceedingly pretty, whether made of the more expensive material or the cheapest. Many that are sent home from the upholsterer’s have a rounded table, and the curtains that fall at either side are hung from around an arm above, while the mirror can be either a most elaboraie one of gilt or white wood, or a perfectly plain one half covered by the draperies at the back. The cheapest way to make one is to have a 21 SUMMER RESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, SUMMER RESORTS. VENTNOR, N. J. SUMMER RESORTS.

In order to prevent this catastrophe some people have a sheet of plate glass made with beveled edges ex- actly the size of the top of the dressing table. Of course then the embroidery or the drawnwork shows through to just as much advantage as though there were nothing over it, while the brushes, combs and different toilet articles can be arranged upon the glass. In making an upholstered dressing table it is not well to nail on the cover too tightly, as It needs to be taken off and washed. It is really better to sew it on to the front curtains and then tack the curtains to the table, covering the tacks with a ruching of box-pleated satin ribbon, and it is not weil to buy too cheap a muslin for the curtains and cov- ering, as whatever is used will have to be laundered occasionally. This same rule ap- plies to cretonne, unless some dark color is chosen, or a very much co®tred design which does not show signs of wear too quickly, A Receptive Pupil. From the Jewelers’ Weekly.
