as well as other churches, Is so permeated
with the spirit of commercialism that the
spirit of Christ Is crowded Into the back
ground. "Thirst for wealth and social position
seems to have a strong hold on the minds
of our young people, and heroic measures
are necessary to keep them from being
swept away on the great wave of commer
cialism. I am optimistic, however, and am
hopeful for the future."

Mikado Says Farewell to Komnra.
TOKIO, July 6. The emperor gave a faro-
well audience and lunch to Baron Komura,
envoy from Japan to the approaching peace
conference at Washington, and the staff of
the Japanese Peace commission today.
The emperor delivered an address today
to the pence plenipotentiaries as follows:
The president of the United States helnr
grieved to learn that the war between Rus
sia and Japan had not leen brought to a
close after the la use of l.iore than a vnar.
and being Impressed with the urgent need,
In the Interest of pence end humanity, of
terminating me conmct, nns suggested that
the two governments oppilnt plenipoten
tiaries and cause them to n.eet together to
negotiate peace.
We were compelled, contrary to our ex
pectation, to resort to arms despite our
constant abiding wish for peace, and If in
consequence of the conciliatory spirit of
our opponent hostilities could be brought
to an end, nothing would be more satisfac
tory than such consummation.
Accordingly, we at once accept, the sug
gestion of the president of th United
States and we hereby charge you with the
mission or negotiating ana (Occluding
pence. You should devote Yourselves with
all of your power to discharge your-mission
and make every effort to secure the re
establlshment of peace on a durable basis.
Criticise Maravleff'a Appointment.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6.-M. Mur-
avleff will arrive here Sunday. He will
receive special instructions from the em
peror end consult with the various min
isters and will leave with his suite for
Washington probably about July 20. But
the date Is not absolutely fixed.
Russia has not yet received indications
of Japan's attitude toward an armistice.
The Slovo today severely criticises the se
lection of M. Muravleff as one of the Rus
sian peace plenipotentiaries, declaring that
he has neither the ability nor the tempera
ment to conduct great negotiations. His
rise to the position of minister of Justice,
the paper affirms, was not due to his
faithfulness to the ideals of Justice, but
rather devotion to the arbitrary methods
which are execrated throughout Russia.
The Slovo recalls "the deplorable Incidents
which marked M. Muravlefrs connection
with the Hartman affair In Paris and The
Hague conference," as reasons for express
ing the opinion that negotiations under
his direction are sure to be accompanied
by many disappointments.
It is generally understood here that M.
Muravleff's selection was extremely dis
tasteful to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and
that it was the emperor's personal act.
Among the liberals a story Is being in
dustriously circulated and believed that
Japan at the Washington peace conference
will demand that the treaty of peace, if
concluded, shall be submitted for the rati
fication of the Russian people In order
to insure Its observance in case of a change
of government.
CIVIL WAR ON BLACK SEA

self has not been heard from and telegrams
dispatched to him remain unanswered. This
does not indicate cause for alarm so far aa
he personally is concerned, but la probably
due to the censorship. However. It tends
to confirm the extreme gravity of the situa
tion. Telegrams from the Caucasus, .where a
state bordering on anarchy nas existed for
a month, says the news of mutiny on board
the Kntas Potemklne made an electric Im

Life Guardsmen In Revolt.
BERLIN, July 6, A correspondent at

altogether reliable source that sixteen men
were designated In each company of the
Lithuania Life Guard regiment in Warsaw
to go to Manchuria June 3 and that day
the men so designated refused to go, and
their comrades refused to make them do so.
The colonel of the Lithuania regiment sent
to another life guard regiment, named the
St. Petersburg, for help, but the men re
fused to obey orders, which was also the
case with a third life guard regiment, the
Kexholm. The colonel of the Lithuania
regiment then applied to the military com
mander of Warsaw. Lieutenant General

GROWTH OF CHRISTIAN WORK
Speaker at Baltimore Tell of
Progress Made with the
Yoana" People.
BALTIMORE,' July 6. The second day's
session of the twenty-second International
Christian Endeavor's convention was pre
sided over by the Rev. George B. Stewart
of Auburn, N. V.
William Bhaw of Boston, delivered the
following address, upon "What Christian
Endeavors Hare Done." saying In part:
Twenty-five years' ago the ruling Idea In
the church Was that children should be
seen and not heard. The result was that
few were seen, and none were heard.
Twenty-five years of Christian Endeavor
has revealed to the church that It Is out of
the young people that the Kingdom of
Heaven Is to be made.
This week over Mi.iicO Christian Endeavor
prayer meetings will be held, and tens of
thousands mure by societies that belong,
and ought to be. In our fellowship. Twonty
flve years ago the church that had a well
organised young people's society was the
exception. Todnv the church that does not
have such a society is a curiosity.
Christian Endeavor made 'he prayer
meeting the heart of the movement, and
has laid great emphasis on testimony and
prayer, bb it outtht: for without prnyer and
testimony the church would die. Tho mnr
tyrs and confessors rank together.
Through its system of committee work It
offers opportunity for training In service
to every member.
Through the executive commit! it gives
to the pastor a cabinet by wiin'h he enn
touch and direct every line of work In
which the young people are engaged.
Twenty-five years ago a small percentage
of the churches had mission circles com
posed of (tlrls or young women. Now we
have thousands of our brightest and best
young men vying with the young women
in their Interest and enthusiasm for mis
sions. Tens of thousands of missionary
committees are nt work, and thousands of
mission study classes are conducted.
Lust year tne gifts or tne young people,
to missions reported to the Presbyterian
general assembly amounted to $184. OXI, and
this Is a sample of the new missionary
asset that hns been developed. Iss than
10,000 societies reporting to the United so
ciety the actual amounts contributed for
beneficence for a period of five years gave
a total of 12.1S7.00O. Not a penny of this
was Riven to the United society or used In
Christian Endeavor work, but every dollar
was a contribution to the missionary and
philanthropic work of the church.
Mrs. Kate L. Hause of St. Louis, field
secretary of Missouri Christian Endeav
orers, spoke on the call for superintend
ents and was heartily applauded.
During the afternoon there was a con
ference In the Associate Congregational

discussed:
"The Federation of Unions."

The afternoon session' of the convention

ing to a Christian Endeavor convention

and Americanism in that Island. Jamaica's

to by John E. Randall and Rev. Edward
J. Hewett, president of the Jamaica Chris

A. Hume and Miss Dora Mohlnle Maya
Das, the latter with her sister, afterwards

deavor convention of 1W9, a proposition

Santa Fe Iload Will Help.
The Santa Fe railroad is preparing to
lend aid to all the Devlin companies until
such a time as a final settlement can bo
made. This step Is being considered by
the company as the best method of pro
lecting itself from loss. All the Bnnta Fe
mines In Kansas are being operated by
Devlin, and It Is necessary to keep the
mines running In order that the road may
be supplied with coal.
W. B. Jansen, assistant to President
Ripley, came to Topeka today to confer
with the Devlin attorneys and creditors
with a view to keeping the mines running.
Mr. Jansen said that he was In Topeka
with authority to close the deal and make
arrangements for the continuance of the
Devlin mines in operation. It Is under

Money Part of Deposits.
T. J. Bradley, receiver of the failed First
National bank, said today that the money
placed for deposits In two or three days
before the Institution closed would become
part of the regular deposits, and could
not be considered as preferred. This money
was, it-'was stated, at the time of the
failure set aside by the bank officials to
avoid criminal proceedings against them
for accepting deposits when the bank was
In a falling condition. If this money finally
Is made part of the regular deposits It is
argued that the officials will be subject
for prosecution.
There was a better feeling about the
state house today, following the discovery
that the state holds the bond of a surety
company for $250,000 to Insure It against
loss of money on deposit In the bank
on process of collection. This means that
at least one-half of the state's money In
the bank at least Is safe. Governor Hoch
was quoted today aa saying that within
two weeks he wnuld require State Treas
urer Kelly to procure a new bond in place
of that signed by C. J. Devlin.

Inspired by the success of the St. Louli
Aid In taking care of young women and
girls coming to the city during the exposi
tion, eleven organisations of Portland have
associated themselves In a Travelers' Aid
to do a similar work In that city. Among
the organizations Interested are the Port
land Woman's club, the Women's Christian
Temperance union. City Federation of
Clubs, Council of Jewish Women, College
Alumnae assoclntlon and a number of
church aid societies. Tho nssoclatlon has
been In operation for the past four months
perfecting Its methods of safeguarding
young women, and especial attention will
be given to the protection of women on the
Immediate grounds of the expontlon and
for this purpose the assocliih 1 hns estab
lished headqunrters In one of the big build
ings. At St. Louis 1,000 girls were stranded
within the exposition gates Inst summer In
spite of all the efforts to protect them at
the station and on the trains. The Port
land association Is supplying all the dis
trict west of the Mississippi with pamphlets
and posters calling attention to Its work,
and the Exposition Travelers' Aid commit
tee, which reconvened this spring at the
request of the western association, ts doing
the same work In all the states east of the
Mississippi. Last year the latter organiza
tion distributed Its pamphlets all over the
United States. Factories and department
stores are being especially remembered
with circular letters, as it is thought that a
large per cent of the girls who would go
unchaperoned might be reached in this
way.
A class of 200 young women, the largest
In the history of the school, was graduated
from Vassar this year, and It Is said that
two-thirds of them are already engaged.
This fact recently occasioned an outburst
from a Now York educator, "who' pointed
out that higher education is not necessary
to women because they "will marry." But
this sort of argument sounds rather flat
nowadays, when so much Is expected of
women, not only out In the world, but as
mothers In the homes.
