Religion Interjected. Into i-'.tli-tit.s.
Thqre Is a new phase to tlo oppositi n
to Mr. Charles Page Bryaii as minbter
to China. It ie now said that the mis
sionary societies are antagonistic to
him, luit jubt what this opposition is, and
how it originated, no one seems to kinw.
The Illinois Senators are ignorant of it;
Senator Cullom knows nothing of It, and
could conceive of no reason why these
societies should enter a protest against
him. One gentleman, who i interesting
himself it. the case of Mr. Bryan, said
last bight that the alleged opposition was
due to the interference of a distinguished
ex-dipH-mat, who is now out ot a posi
tion, ai.d who is anxious to go to Chin tin
an jfficial capacity. This diplomat is
well kMiwn in China, likes the country.; nd
would be well pleased to locate there for
the next thrpe or four year-,. His wife is
said to be the president of one of ihe
mbsiomiry societies that has filed a protest.

whole matter is t-omewhit In Iefiuite -

some other reason, but, for tlie lit'- of
me, I tonnot understand why the mis

would find in him as warm a friend as
in any other man who might be sent to

that, acting upon the advice of friends, lie
refused to puy tribute, and the arralr was
taken Sutu court. The woman rof :spd to
appeal in court and the evil character of

to fill the hill, but his friends say this
is erroneous. While there ib considers He
opposition. It is quite evident that If
his name is laid before the Senate Mr.
Br an willj be confirmed. He ha3 w-jn
friends among Southern Democratic Sen
ators by reason ot the fact that he is
related to the-Barbers, of Virginia, through
his mi ther.
