know the truth and the whole truth.
Even If the catastrophe should prove
the result of official authority and dia-
bolical treaehery, the honor of our
flag. the dignity of the nation, the
safety and welfare of millions would
be better served by calm, self control
in calling another nation to strict ac-
count, than by a frantic and unreason-
ing rush into the unspeakable horrors
of war.
Our duty as citizens, as patriots. as
Christians, is to stand by the President
who stands at the helm of the ship of
state, cool-headed, clear of eye, strong
handed and warm hearted, to stand by
our Government rather than by any In
temperate speech or action to stir up
the worst passions of our nature.

CHINA CEDES
 PORTS ID RUSSIA
The Agreement Signed by Proper Officials of Both Govern-
 mentS.

St. Petersburg, March 29.-The Official Messenger publishes circular, which has been telegraphed by Count Muravhifr, the Russian minister for foreign affairs, to the representatives of Russia abroad. It is as follows:
 By virtue of a convention signed at Pekin on March 27 Port Arthur and the port of Ia Lien Wan and the territories adjacent have been ceded to Russia in usu- fruct by China You are requested to mo- tify the foregoing government where you are to be accredited, adding that the above mentioned ports and territories will be inn mediately occupied by Russian troops. and that the Russian flag will be hoisted by the side of the Chinese flag.
 You may at the same time inform the foreign minister that the port of Ia Lien Wan will be open to foreign trade and that the largest measure of hospitality will be extended to the ships of all friendly na- tions."
 An official communication issued to the press adds: "The sessions are for twenty five years, but may be extended later. Fur ther, China has conceded the right of con- structing a railroad to connect the ports with the Trans-Siberian main line.
 After stating that the arrangement is the direct and natural consequence of amicab e relations between two neghboring states anxious to advance the interests of their people, the official communication cCn- tinueS
 While safeguarding the integrity and sovereignty of China and satisfying the es- sential needs of Russia, the arrangement insures the interests of no foreign trade On the contrary, 1t affords all nations the possibility of entering in the near future into relations with the river regions of the Yellow Sea, hither closed to them. The opening of Ia Lien Wan to the merchant ships of all nations will create a new and wide market for commerce and industry owing to the Trans-Siberian line, which is henceforth destined to connect the ex- tremities of two continents and the old world. The arrangement, therefore, is of high historical value to Russia and should be hailed as a fortunate event by all those who have at heart the benefits of peace and development of good relations among nations"
