Continued from lusi wool;
Nagasaki, Japan, Dec. i, 1002.
On arriving in Nagasaki we noticed,
besides a Russian man-of-war, the
largo army transport, "Thomas" en
route from Manila to San Francisco
loaded with our soldier boys. Passing
down street a few hours later. I noticed
a mob in front of a hotel. Hastening
rapidly to the scene of excitement, I
saw an Ameiican soldier in the center
without hat, his face and head bleeding
from .1 number of cuts. Murryins to
his aid were other soldiers, but the
timely action of the Japanese police in
arresting the Jap who had done the
damage and hurrying him to jail pre
vented a tragedy, possibly a Japanese
American conflict.
, I visited the Shinto temple where the
.Shinto priests are on duty. Each
worshiper gave the priest a piece of
money whereupon he began beating a
large kettle-drum with tom-tom effect
which to the Shintoist is the mode of
praying. The iiiissiouniics are doing
remarkable work in carrying gospel light
to the heathen devotees. Theie is a
scarcity of workers in Japan. The in
gathering has been marvelous. More
than 200 people have been turned
school on account of
It is
indeed a pity that manv Americans are
careless and indifferent .in regard to
the christian religion, while many in
foreign lands are only too glad to
make the acquaintance of Jesus Christ,
the Savior of men.
Being missionary secretary myself,
with a letter regarding missionary in
spection from Hishop Moore and Drs.
Oldham and Leonard of the New York
and Chicago offices, it is needless for
me to present the names of the resi
dent missionaries and educators in
each city and country who 'spare- no
pains to make 1113' visit both interesting
and profitable, but' I will simply state
once for'all that without the co-operation,
counsel and expeiience of these
grand, good people, weeks would be
required where days now suffice for
my work. Through their diplomacy, I
am enabled to interview officials, in
spect places of interest and therein
secure information at first hand, much
of which has not been in print hereto
fore. I am not a tourist. I am out
for business and am weary of work
when night falls, hence 1 am bavins no
holiday.
In the Nagasaki park, I noticed the
following inscription carved upon a
monument seven feet high by three
feet wide:
Nagasaki, Japan, June 22, 1879.
At the request of Governor (Japanese
name) Mrs. Grant and I each planted
a tree in the Nagasaki park. I hope
that both trees may prosper, grow
large, live long; and, in this growth,
prosperity and long life, be emblematic
of the future of Japan.
U. S. Grant.
The trees, India rubber, weie planted
about twenty-five feet apart and were
protected by a strong frame work, but
the tree planted by the general and ex-
president died, while the other, planted
by Mrs. Grant, not only flourishes but
has grown double, forming two trees.
This is a living testimonial to the worth
and work of woman, and a serious blow
to the Japanese time-worn theory of
feminine inferiority.
In addition to the various phases of
life more or less interesting, Japan was
treated to an earthquake a few days
ago. This occurred while 1 was at
Tokyo. The houses trembled like
maple branches; the people rushed
pell-mell into the streets, fearing that
the houses might tumbled down upon
them. I have not visited a house in Japan
of wichh the plastering is not cracked.
For untold years the Japanese have
firmly believed that a dragon is chained
under their islands and that his periodi
cal efforts to free himself causes the
earthquakes. The steamship "Empress
Japan" has the dragon carved on the
bow; Japanese coins bear the inscrip
tion of the dragon on one side, and
that hideous looking monster is every
where in evidence. Besides the earth
quakes, Japan has other problems that
keep her nervous. Though fahe has
cntored into an alliance with England
to check the oncroachment of Russia,
vet Japan is busy watching England's
movements in the far cast. The policy
of Amorica in not demanding a slice of
China has assured Japan that she has
nothing to foar form Uncle Sam. Japan
holds the Russian in supreme contempt.
While the Russian squadron was cruis
ing in Japanese waters, two men-of-war
and a cruiser with over 7000 men an
chored in the harbor at Kobe. One of
the sailors was severely handled by
some Japanese coolies while on shore.
When this was repotted to the squad
ron, 800 brawny sailors secured leave
of absence to go on shore for revenge.
The men were not allowed tliei' fire
arms but purposely wore their belts.
Every Japanese that showed himself
in the streets was caught and given a
seveie strapping. The police went in
to hiding, being unable to cope with
an army of Russians though armed
with belts only. The account of this
treatment was published throughout
Japan, consequently when a Russian
warship anchoied at Nagasaki last
week a mob formed, caught the first
squad of men that landed, gave them
many a deep cut and bruise before the
police succeeded in restoiing order.
An inoffensive German who happened
to be standing near the men after they
came ashore was taken to be one of
them and was also very muchdisfigiued.
Those who read between the lines in
diplomatic circles prophesy that it
will be only a matter of time when
Japan and Russia will declare war as
the last lesoit in the settlement of
their differences. Russia is the ag
gressor. Japan has already appropri
ated 50,000,000 yen for battleships
-rfiul is nervous over the situation to
sav tne least.
The women of America are to be
congratulated over the progress they
have made through their foreign mis
sionary societies in lifting the girls and
women of Japan from the thralldom in
to which ages of ignorance and super
stition have consigned them. Com
modious buildings, though half what
aie needed, have been erected in nearly
every city, wheie the light of a new
civilization is rapidly transforming
old Japan into tho newer and better
with its christian home, the real safe
guard of the wot Id. ,
Siianc.ijai, China, December 6, 1S02.
Leaving Nagasaki, a voyage of two
nights and one day measures the dis
tance across the turbid Yellow sea and
causes the long brown line of China to
rise out of the horizon and we enter
the Yangtse Kiang liver where junks
of every description ply, bearing pig
tailed crews, dwellers of the real Cat
hoy. Our vessel reels as it struggles
with the tide at the Woosung Bar,
called by the Chinese the "Heavenly
Barrier" because it is regarded as di
vinely prepared to prevent the world's
ships from gaining access to the city of
Shanghai, with its population of over
400,000, called the New York of the
far rim of Asia.
During the Franco-Chinese war in
1884, the Chinese added to the difficul
ty of ascending the Yaug-tso by sinking
stone-loaded junks across all but one
narrow channel. This qhannel is used
by the nations' vessels as a highway to
this commercial metropolis. The first
railroad built from Woosung to Shan
ghai was torn up by the superstitious
Chinese, and the locomotives were
plunged into the river, but when the
cannon of several nations weie point
ing their death dealing mouths towaid
Shanghai, the emperor changed his
mind, and the whistle of the locomo
tive is now heard as the trip of 13 miles
is made, Approaching the city iron
clad men-of-war were passed as they
lay at anchor near the Shanghai har
bor, their heavy, cannon-like giant ci
gars pointing in every direction, to
claiming the gospel of force. 1 his
international display of man l.i ling
inachinos presented a formidable ap
pearance. The fleet consisted of one
Russian, one Chinese, two Italian, two
Japanese, two German, two Ameiican,
lliree frencn and tnrce itntisli war
dogs.
The very fact that the gunboats arc
needed indicates that China has no
love for the foreigner and, judging from
the treatment administered to the na
tives by the foreigners, excepting the
missionaries, I do not blame the Chi-
noso in the least for being opposed first,
last and always to the presence of many
of the people residing here, called "for
eign devils" by the Chinese.
The missionaries treat the natives as
they should be troated, people woith
helping; but the majority of those en
gaged in busiuoss, at least as far as I
have obsarvod, treat the Chinese as
dogs or worsa than dogs. People are
growing lieh by high handed uxtoitiou
or, to be more exact, by a system of
t
highway robbeiy, the like of which 1 hnd
never dremned. The childieti are fol
lowing in the footMoim af their parents.
Yestetdav 1 UHed Central umiket
where fiuits.imati', vegetables, etc , me
fui sale mid at juices unheard f !r
fore. Fish of miv and evci v kind at
give away prices. Sharks could be had
at almost the asking. Deer at Si. 00
each. In view of all this I saw a for
eign girl help herself to what oranges
she wanted; the owner would endeavor
to take them from her and succeed or
fail according to the quickness of the
gitl in getting away with her booh.
The poor vender could not leave his
stand long to follow her as large crowds
were waiting and besides, other "for
eign devils" might steal the lemaiiider
while he was chasing the gill in ques
tion. 1 1 or supreme impudence and
contempt of all moral law was shown
by the second attempt to take oranges
which the seller had just wrested from
her hands by fence. The Chinese take
this in good humor and say little be
cause they fear those iron fire-breathing
monsters that bedeck theii burbot
only a few blocks away.
I observed an English lady as she
sent her servant, a young man, on an
errand. 1 was surprised to note his
quickness; he went like the wind. The
errand accomplished, he returned and
was so polite, 1 decided that such rapid
service would not be asked or expected
in America or England. But this
lady(?) gave that servant a tongue
lashing and volley of vituperation for
being so slow when she well knew that
he had rendered absolutely perfect ser
vice. Though well dressed, her man
ner and uncalled-for abuse impressed
me that the appellation "she devil," if
applied to her, would be thoroughly
complimentary. Another instance
justifying the term "foreign devil:" I
had engaged a jmriesho (Shanghai
spelling) for a trip of three miles about
Shanghai and on returning paid my
man a few cents more than the regular
price; however, according to Chinese
custom, he asked for ten cents addi
tional which may or may not be given
as one likes. At this moment the hotel
clerk, an American, stepped up and
asked what the man wanted. I replied
that he requested ten cents additional,
whereupon the clerk flow at him in a
rage and kicked the Chinaman three
times with all his might before the re
cipient of the uncalled-for booting had
time to decide whether he had been
struck by a typhoon or a "foreignj
devil." No resistance was offered,
although we were surrounded in two
minutes by a horde of Chinese. My
first thought was that the Boxers had
us, as no Americans or Englishmen
were in sight and we were in the heart
of a city containing 400,000 people,
wearers of the cue. They doubtless
called to mind the fact that the gun
boats were close at hand and that the
use of the big knife might bring upon
them the wrath of the belching cannon.
Therefore, in a few minutes the rabble
dispersed, while my accelerated heart
quieted down to its normal stroke.
