AN ANCIENT CAPITAL.

Moukden, toward which the Japanese
army is marching, is the ancient capital
of the Manchurian dynasty, and is To-
Gated in the northern part of the Shing-
King province. The broad Lio-Tang
river runs past the city to empty itself
into the Gulf of Pechili. The population
of the city is estimated at 100000. At
present it is strongly fortified and
guarded. 1t is the home of the present
Chinese dynasty, where the tombs of the
ancestors of the present emperor are
kept sacred. Although these ancestors
transferred the seat Of the Manchurian
dynasty to Pekin. after conquering the
Ming dynasty and the whole of Southern
China, about POO years ago, it was their
intention to make Moukden their chief
refuge in caseof emergency. This plan was
faithfully followed by succeeding rulers
who never for a moment neglected to at
tend to the strong defences of a city with
out which the emperor might some day
find himself homeless. Since the outbreak
of the present war with Japan new earth
works have been added, subterranean
mines have been laid outside the city, and
large numbers of troops have been poured
into it, until to-day the place is one of
enormous strength.
1t is doubtless Japan's intention to cap
ture this place first, and if she succeeds
in doing so she will not only strike at the
moSt sensitive part OF the great Chinese
giant, but she will secure vast treasure
sufficient to defray the expenses incurred
from the beginning of the war
1t IS an open secret that the wealth
sent annually by the Court of Pekin to
Moukden and boarded here is immense
IL has been the custom of the court since
the Inauguration of the present dynasty
to send every year to the city 5000, 900
taels to be stored, and calculating at this
rate the treasure must have reached the
sum of 100000, 900 taels by this time. for
the reign of the present dynasty over a
vast territory of 400 provinces dates
back to 200 years ago. 1t seems incred-
ible to the western world that so vast an
amount should have been buried and
stored in the earth without ever being
utilized, but it is in perfect harmony with
the Chinese methods of taking precau-
tiOns for future emergencies

An Account of the Ancient City and of

From the New York Herald.
After the first splendid successes Of the
Japanese, to which they will probably
add further successes at sea and at Port
Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei, the more Sc
rious difficulties of the plucky and ener-
getic Japanese are now commencing The
battle ground will soon be transferred
from the Korean peninsula to China
proper, when alone can the resources and
power of resistance of China be tested
These are supposed to be great. but are
not unknown to the Japanese or under
valued by them.
Ine japanese are apparently straining
all their energies and powers 10 get TO
Moukden before the Chinese can muster
their forces there in sufficient nun Der S
and lighting condition. The enthusiasm
and patriotism of the whole Japanese ma
tion is unexampled, and the government
is simply an exponent of the national
feeling and of the hatred of Chinese ofi-
| cial arrogance. The transferring of the
japanese court from Toxic to HOroshima
and the assembling of parliament there
instead of Toxic is one of the signs of the
| earnestness of the Japanese and of their
appreciation of the magnitude of the enter.
| prise before them.
Neither China nor Japan can recede OF
| pause to consider peace proposals of the
| English, who have favored China from
The start, and who are beginning to fear
the consequences of japanese victory
over China. These victories are also
being closely watched by Russia, who
will not be slow to take advantage OF
anything that may turn up" English
and Russian influences are secretly at
work in opposite directions, and when
the battles around MOukden are fought
| these two opposing interests will have to
show their hands openly.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-Befcre Z
O'Clock this morning large crowds were

cure places along the route of the royal
wedding procession. From the Anitch-
koff palace to the winter palace, the whole

a. m. there appeared an open state car
riage drawn by four white horses. In

the Grand Duke Michael. They were
greeted with vociferous cheering, renewed
again and again. The czar's equipage
was preceded and followed by troops IN
BRILLIANT GALA UNIFORMS.
Then came superb landau, also drawn
by four white horses, in which were
Princess Allx and the czarina. They receiv-
ed, if possible, even more hearty greeting
than the czar himself. After the carriage
of the princess and czarina, followed
long train of carriages with royal guests,
including the Prince and Princess Of
Wales, Princess Irene, of Prussia, Grand
Duchess Sergius and other prominent

minister of foreign affairs, rendered his
resignation, the czar said that he hoped
they would work together long time

majesty, look at my feet, they can not
carry me-" whereupon the car replied,

Isle has decided to accept the Stewart
syndicate bid for the entire issue of $780,
100000 in bonds. The figure offered by
by the syndicate was 117.O77.
st. Louis.-In response to telegram
to Congressman R. P. Bland, at Lebanon,
Mo-, asking an expression from him on
the bond issue, the following was re-
ceived by the Post-Dispatch to-day:
"If the secretary of the treasury would
exercise his option to pay out silver for
greenbacks and treasury notes issued
under the Sherman law, there could be
no drain of gold from the treasury. The
government Of France does this and
keeps all her money at par. This bond
issue business looks like an attempt to
force congress to
RETIRE OUR TREASURY NOTES
and substitute system of national bank
currency. The fight is still on between
the advocates of the free coinage of sill
yer, as a true mode of currency reform,
and the adherents of the national banks.
1t is proposed by the latter to farm out
to corporations the power to control the
value and volame of money. Surely the
money monopoly of this country now
thinks it is in the saddle, but time will
tell whether the people or monopoly is to
rule this country"

1t was II 80 before Hon. H. r. Whit
more, president of the last congress,
called the new body to order and intro
duced Rev. DR.. s. j. Nicholas, of St.
Louis, who prayed that selfish interests
might be sunk in behalf of the general
good and prosperity of all. The greet
ings of the Merchants exchange of ST..
Louis, upon whose invitation congress
meets here, were given by W. g. Boyd,
who hoped that this assemblage would
cement more closely the relations of the
great trans Mississippi region with it's
largest city; and that, though the gather
ing be of western character, its deliber-
ations
WOULD BE BROAD ENOUGH
to cover the whole country. Mayor
Waldridge. in welcoming the guests, took
occasion to assure his hearers that when
the American people got together in
council their conclusions were always
right. The hospitality of the state was
extended by Gov. Stone, who said that
Missouri considered that all the interests
within her borders were typical of all the
interests of the trans Mississippi section.
Her people too are typical, not only of
Western manhood, but of the manhood
of all this great nation. In conclusion,
Gov Stone deplored most strongly the
introduction of sectionalism into any
gathering and also expressed the belief
that no such feeling would find place in
the body before him. In the absence of
Gov. Mcconnell, of Idaho, Gov. Eugene
Semple, of Washington.
RESPONDED TO THE ADDRESS
of welcome, in behalf of the congress.
He declared that the congress was not
here for the purpose of demanding any
thing radical, but simply that, in the gov
ernment of the nation, the good of the
people should be the supreme law. At
the conclusion Gov. Semple's remarks,
President Whitemore reviewed the pur-
poses fer which the congress exists. He
declared against allowing this congress to
be in any way controlled by political inter
ests and announced the gathering ready for
business. Upon the recommendation of
the executive committee, the convention
then took recess to allow the state dele
cation to select members of the com
mittees on credentials, rules, order of
business, and per manent organization.
