men, I closed with them, and tonight I
wish to greet you most warmly and to say
that 1 doubt If we could find a more typ
ically American gathering than this. Amer

Success In Life.
I shall not keen vou very lonir this even
ing. 1 have come here, nut to make you a
set speecn, Dut ir you will allow me to say
so, to speak aa an old friend, among his
old friends. 1 have seen a good deal of
your lives. I know the effort, the toll, the
happiness and the success. 1 have en
deavored when I have been brought In con
tact witn the ttast Bide in the course of
any work In which I have been engaged, so
to nanoie myseir that tne Kust bide mignt
be a little better for It. I do not know
whether 1 succeeded or not, but 1 do know
that I have always been the better myself
ior contact with tho East Bide.
And now. one word in closing, upon sue
cess in life, upon the success that each of
us should strive for. It Is a great mistake
h. such a great mistake to measure suc
cess merely by that which glitters from
wunoui or to speax oi it in terms wnicn
will mislead thoee about us and especially
the younger people about us as to what
success really is. There must, of course,
be for success a certain material basis.
I should think ill of any man here who
did not wish to leave his children a little
better and not a little worse off materially
than he was. and I should not feel that
he was doing his duty by them, and If he
cannot do his duty by his own children ho
is not going to do his duty by anyone else.
But after that certain amount of material
prosperity has been gained, then the things
inai reauy count most are tne tnings or
the soul rather than the thing of money
and I am sure that each of you here. If he
will really think what it is that made him
most happy, of what it is that marie him
most respect his neighbors, will agree with
me. Look back in your own lives, see what
the things are that you are proudest of as
you look back, and.you will In almost every
case and on every occasion find that those
memories of pride are associated not with
days of ease, but with days of effort, the
day when you had to do all that was In you
for some worthy end and the worthiest of
all worthy ends Is to make those that are
closest and nearest you, your wife and
children and those near you, happy and
not sorry inai you tire o.iiv. anu, ttiier
that has been done, to be able so to handle
ycuiself that you can feel when the end
comes that on the whole your community,
your fellow men, are a little better off
and not a little worse off because you have
lived. This kind of success is open to
every one of us.
The treat prizes come more or less by
accident and no human being knows that
better than any man wno nas won any
of them. The great prizes come more or
less bv accident, but to each man there
comes normally tne cnance so to ieaa nis
life that at the end of his days his chil
dren, his wife, those that are dear to him
shall rise up and call him blossed and so
that his neighbors and those who have
been brought into intimate association may
feel that he has done nis part as a man
In a world which sadly needs that each
man should rjlny his part well.
Now, gentlemen, I have to say good night

TOKIO, Feb. 14. (10 a. m.)-In discussing
a report that colliers had refused to ac

Japanese naval staff said today: "Our
commanders will fire upon and sink sny

Vice Admiral Togo departed from Kure

Report of Year's Casualties.
8T. PETERSBURG, Feb. 14. The official
returns for the first year of the war, not
Including the Port Arthur statistics, show
that 130.429 officers and men passed through
the hospitals going north, of which num
ber 1,710 officers were wounded and 1,30
were sick; 63,890 men were wounded snd
72,681 were sick; 4,007 subsequently died
in hospitals; 6,474 wounded and 11,248 sick
were invalided; 9,429 returned to Russia and
21,554 are still in hospitals. .Over 77.000,
therefore, presumably returned to the
ranks. The figures do not Include the num
bers of those killed on the field of battle
nor probably those slightly injured who
remained temporarily In field hospitals.
The showing is considered remarkably
good. The proportion dying In hospitals
is very low, the total loss to the active
army in wounded and sick being a little
over 60,000, of whom almost half have still
a chance of returning to the ranks. The
other half will be Invalided or returned to
Russia. The killed In battle are estimated
to have numb-red between 40,000 and 60,000.
Prices on the Bourse today were strong
on rumors of peace.

BOOSTING FOR COOL COLORADO
Epnotlh Leaguers Hear Abont the
State They Are Going; to Visit
Officially Next Snntmer.
The lecture room of the First Methodist
church was well filled last night by an
audience assembled to hear the Illustrated
lecture on Colorado by Mr. Gilbert Mc
Clurg. Ths entertainment was given under
the auspices of Chapter 610 of tho Epworth
league, for the special purpose of stimulat
ing interest In the Sixth International Ep
worth league convention, to be held at
Denver July 6-8, 1906.
The lecture began with an Interesting
history of the pre-Columbian pust of Colo
rado, comprising an illustrated story of the
Cliff Dwellers, showing the ruins of their
former homes, mummies, specimens of pot
tery and basket work, symbolical of their
religion, and was followed with a similar
illustrated story of the present pueblos, the
descendants of the pre-hlstorlc Cliff Dwel
lers. Then followed the story of Colorado's
romantic expedition of discovery and the
soft Spanish names he gave to the moun
tain peaks, rivers and valleys which have
since remained; the poetic vision of Manl-
tou, the expedition of General Zebulon
Pike, who gave Pike's peak its name; the
Colorado of today, with its wealth pf mln
eral, agricultural and horticultural products
and the prediction of her great future. The
pictures which were shown, with the aid
of a stereopticon, were beautiful and num
erous. Following the lecture sn hour was
given over to social ' greetings, with re
freshments of coffee and wafers.
Selected rieks at ths lowest possible cost
consistent with safety continues to be tho
slogan' of Col. Jacob L. Greene of ths Con
necticut Mutual Life Insurance company.
whose annual report to the members of
the company la published elsewhere in this
Issue. It has been a policy that has
brought not only success to this pioneer
among life insurance companies but safety
to its members who are Its only stockhold
ers and alons divide the dividends that
are earned.' It Is this policy that enables
ths company to show that they have actu
ally paid back to policy holders in divi
dends and to their heirs $1, 581,224 more
money than has actually been received
(or policy premiums during the 59 years
in which ths company has transacted busi
ness. Col. Greene naturally makes this
the feature of his report as It Is a record
that has been attained by no other com
pany in America, and he la very justly
proud of It. The company had at the
close of business last year assets of 166,
24.841. and a surplus of $4.82.6fitf. It had
70.454 policy holders carrying an aggregate j
Insurance of $i7,l7,515.

Session of the Commons.
In the House of Commons W. A. Mount
(conservative) moved and Samuel Roberts
(conservative) seconded the address in
reply to the king's speech.
The first division approaching party lines
occurred ,ln the House of Commons when
Mr. Dalzlel (liberal) moved that the house
censure Lord Arlington for breach of priv
ileges by his action in the North Dorset
election. Premier Balfour said nothing
could be gained by continuing the discus
sion, and moved the previous question.
which was carried by 257 to 191 votes.
Among the first of the bills of which
notice was given In the House of Com
mons were Home Secretary Akers-Doug-
las' alien bill and the bill of Mr. Long,
president of the local government board of
relief of the unemployed.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the
liberal leader In the house, speaking on
Mr. Mount's motion, bitterly assailed the
government, which, he said, was evading
the fiscal question, as shown by the failure
of the mover and seconder of the address
to mention this Important subject. He
added that the opposition would shortly
endeavor to secure a straight answer from
Mr. Balfour showing rhether or not he
was in agreement with Joseph Chamber
Iain's proposals.
Sir H'enry Campbell-Bannerman spoke at
great length, attacking the government's
policy in Thibet and South Africa and In
fact at all points. He continued speaking
almost up to 7:30 p. m., when Sir Edgar
Vincent (conservative) took up the debate
and was speaking when the house sus
pended Its sitting.
The first hour and a half of the night
session was taken up with desultory
speeches In the debate upon the address
in reply to the speech, from the throne.
Premier Balfour's Reply.
Premier Balfour rose at 10:30 o'clock to
reply to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.
Mr. Balfour Justified the government's
action In Thibet and said It was the minis
try's earnest desire to maintain the friend
liest relations with Afghanistan and that
negotiations to that end were proceeding
satisfactorily; touched on Chinese labor In
South Africa and repeated Lord Lans
downe's pronouncements with regard to the
future of South African colonleB. He also
defended the sugar convention. Replying
to Sir Henry Campbell-Bunnerman's as
sertion that the government was too feeblu
to carry out an effective policy, Mr. Bal
four said the decision lay entirely with
the House of Commons whether it could
effectively carry out the mandate of the
people and the dutl entrusted to it by the
sovereign.
Mr. Balfour protested against bringing
the fiscal question before this Parliament
and said It was entirely irrelevant.
He was unable, he suld, to make his po
sition clearer than he already had done.
He taunted the opposition on the existing
confusion concerning Its future program.
In conclusion, Premier Balfour said Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman's attack in
some particulars, especially where he at
tributed Improper motives to Mr. Lee, the
civil lord of the Admiralty, in his recent
Eastlelgh speech was most unnecessary and
usgederous.
The House of Commons adjourned at
11:12 p. m.
