tual suzerain over northern China, and,
moreover, there is no nation in the won Id
able to place on the east coast OF ASIA an
army that could cope with her; but she
is far-seeing enough to add TO ner mill
tary power the tenacious strength OF an
indus trial and vigorous occupation OF the
lands already under her control.
In the picturesque activity and toll OF
these Russian colonists there Is some
thing which appeals strongly to our
American instincts of energy and ad-
vancement. No one can read the de-
scription of their life and work which
Stephen Bonsal contributes to the July
Harper'g without being remindedaof that
determination which made productive the
broad lands of our Wesern prairies,
pierced the forbidding Rockies in
search of national wealth. and es-
tablished the great commercial
prosperity of the Pacific coast. MI
Bonsal travelled through Eastern 81
IBERIA with both eyes open, and his long
training as a correspondent has enabled
him to recount graphically the significant
and salient features of this invasion Of
the Slavg into the East-an invasion
peaceful enough now, but with all the
portentious possibilities within it OF
mighty conflict, and of forcible solu-
ton of the Eastern Question.
It will be of not little interest to
note the economical history OF this new
section of the Russian Empire, and to
compare it with the corresponding
growth of new lands under settlement
BY Anglo-Saxons. The course OF the
DEVELOPMENT of the States or our Mis-
sissippi valley, for instance, may be
briefly described by division into three
periods-settlement, extravaganza, and
depression. Upon fourth era they are
now entering, and the many signs OF
prosperity and revival are sufficiently
emphatic and encouraging. The Anglo
Saxon theory of democracy leaves the
settlers of a new country to work out
their own salvation; they must find out
for themselves the natural advantages
and disadvantages Of the new land, and
often without assistance must come &c
an understanding of its capabilities
through many vicissitudes and dis
couraging experiences. Directly op
posed to this idea, the paternalism of
strong imperial government has ten
dency to belittle such self-reliance.
Many suggestions of comparison be-
tween the two systems are afforded BY
reading, in connection with Mr. Bonsal's
article, contribution to the July
number of Harper's Magazine from the
pen of Charles Moreau Harger. The
latter paper in entitled 1.-THE Middle
Vests New Era" 1t comprehensive
~ sketches the business history
of this portion of our country, arrays
the many tendencies which now point
to permanent prosperity, and concludes
as follows: ssThe West is settling down
to make the most of the resources which
it possesses, and has ceased worrying
about those which it possesses not. In
that lies the secret Of its future"

THE SABBATH OF REST AND WORSHIP OR
DERED FOR OUR GOOD.

Since religion is the most essential
| interest of human life, the Creator has
set apart portion of time for divine
| worship. For, in order that men may
| truly worship God they must cease from
labor, mediate, and study the works of
| creation. So important to our welfare
and happiness is the true worship of
God, and right religious instruction,
that q day of worship, rest, and haIlow-
ed associations was sanctif1ed and COM
manded from the very beginning of the
world. Indeed, the Creator, Himself,
set the example which we are to follow.
| s'For in six days the Lord Emade heaven
and earth, the sea and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day, where
fore the Lord blessed the seventh day
and hallowed it,"
This alone is sufficient reason why
we should remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy: the Creator comma nd
ed it, and hallowed the day by his own
example. The Lord blessed the seventh
| day and set it apart for our highest
good. 1t was not an arbitrary enact
ment but most beneficent law of
nature. It was ordained for our good.
The first law of our nature is that of
labor. "Six DAYS shalt thou labor, and
do all thou hast to do" Activity ia life.
| Every power anu IaClllLy we nave Graves
exercise and delights in the accomplish
ment Of some good. We must work.
But labor exhausts our energy, and
incessant activity becomes monotonous
and wearisome to both body and soul.
we must cease from labor, and sleep
and rest. Such are the conditions of
this life that we must labor most OF the
time to secure the necessities of our
being. But too much labor lis not bef t
for US. It was not meant that we should
be drudges, forever bent under the bur-
den OF toll, seeking continually and only
for the things that perish with their use.
It was not meant that we should live for
the sake of this life alone. L. was
meant that we should rest from labor,
that we should cease from toll, that we
should rejoice in the good we have at
tanned, that we should think of the
works of God. and behold with delight
the mercy and goodness Of the Father
of Heaven, Ii was meant that we should
worship and do good, and be happy in
The Newtown bee., 1898-07-08

all the hallowed associations of this life,
in the hope of better life to come.
And how sweet indeed is rest which
follows labor? BOW delightful ia the
conciousness that one has accomplished
some good? How happy we are in the
merited rewards of sacrifice and earnest
devotion? And so we must keep the
first part of the commandment and be
faithful in all our labors, before we can
truly enter into the blessed and haIlow-
ed conditions of the Sabbath of res',
quiet and spiritual epjoyment.-[O. o.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Gen. Stew

government at Madrid had an inter-
view with the president this afternoon
that occupied over an hour. He will re-
turn to New York tomorrow. Gen.
Woodford made an express and spe-

His visit, he said, was purely on per-
sonal and professional business, in no
way connected with the war situation
He was not called here, he said, nor
was there any truth in the reports COM
menting on his visit as indicative. Of
an early peace movement. When
Minister Woodford set sail for Spain
very soon after his appointment, there
were several matters of professional
detail here, coming up In his legal
work, that he had no time then to dis
pose Of. These were left over until his
return here, and, save hurried and

not only from the light they throw on
this memorable fight, but from the
technical lesson they will give on ex-
plCSives, projectiles, etc. Thus far not
a word has been received by the de-
partment to show what kind of explo-
sives did the most effective work. Can't.
O'Neal, Of the ordnance bureau, is par
ticularly interested in this portion of
the report for the technical lessons 1t
will teach, and he has sent orders for
detailed reports on the effectiveness of
naval projectiles, including the dyna-
mite projectiles thrown at the shore.
The reports so far of the dynamite
projectiles indicated that they had done
fearful damage, but the examinations
since. Of the fortifications, do not show
any appreciable damage. The techni-
cal report will show just what results
can be obtained from the projectiles in
use in the navy, some of. them being
in the experimental stage.

Miles Was Not His FauJt.


Miles Was Not His Fault.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Concernine
the naval conveys of Gen. Miles expe-
dition from Cuba to Porto Rico. the
navy department today made public
the following statement:
Admiral Sampson telegraphs this
afternoon to the secretary of the navy
that there has been no delay in fur
nishing ample convoy to Gen. Miles.
A day or two ago the Cincinnati and
New Orleans were both placed at his
disposal. The Columbia and Yale, car
rying troops, are both powerfully arm
ed, says the admiral's telegram, and
this is an ample convoy for his expedi-
ton and to effect his landing. The
Annapolis, Wasp and Leyden had
been ordered from Nipe the Gloucester
also added and the three monitors or
dered from Key West. Under these
circumstances, there certainly has been
no lack of naval assistance. If Gen.
Miles preferred to wait, the delay was
his own. However, in further answer
to his request, the Massachusetts and
Dixie were also added this morning,
and he has probably started"
This statement shows that Gen.
Miles will be backed in effecting his
landing on Porto Rican soil by a strong
squadron Of the navy. In addition to
the vessels named in the statement. it
is officially admitted for the first time
that the powerful monitors Terror.
Amphitrite and Puritan, which have
been at Key West, are under orders
to proceed to Porto Rico to assist in
the reduction Of the Spanish forces
there.

Tonight the brigade received march
ing orders. The order to move was
greeted with intense enthusiasm. The
reg iments of the brigade Joined in yells
of frantic delight and the regimental
bands discoursed national airs. This
brigade is the only organization that
will leave the park tomorrow, but if
there is not a sudden change in the
plans as they are understood here to-
night, the entire First corps will fol-
low, the different brigades going out as
rapidly as transportation can be ar
ranged.
While Gen. Brooke, in person, had
nothing to give out for publication, one
of the best posted officers of the First
corps admitted that it was the purpose
to move the entire corps, which num-
bers about 1000 officers and men. The

There are plain traces where six big
shells tore immense holes in her wooden
hull. When the fire started, the
weight Of the guns caved the hull in

Government Gains an Idea of 1t
From Damage Done the Indiana.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The navy
department has obtained very strik-
ing conception of the tremendous pow
er of a shell bursting within the in
closure Of a battleship, from a report
which has just been received at, the
department from Capt. Taylor, Of the
Indiana. Aside from the actual burst
ing energy of the shell, described by
Capt. Taylor, it is perceived from this
report that danger was experienced
from fire, owing to the fact that the
Indiana is not, like some battleships of
later construction, fitted with fire-proof
wood throughout. 1t is safe to assume
that this report, taken in connection
with the destruction of the Spanish
vessels in a large part by fire. off San
tiago, will lead the navy department
to redouble instead Of relax it's efforts
to protect the American warships from
fire by all known scientific means
Capt. Taylor'S report reads as follows:
United States Battleship Indiana, off San
tiago, July 8, 1898.
about 12 midnight, last night the ship
was struck by shell, apparently from an g.

the water-tight berth deck in two places en-

fragments also pierced and completely wrec OK

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 21.-The
expedition which started for Porto

finally got to sea today. The Grand
Duchess and the No. 80, with Gen. Will
son and the Second and Third Wiscon-
sin regiments, spent the night off Sum-
ter. At 8 o'clock this morning tugs
took them out through the jetties. It
was not until 8 o'clock tonight that
they were followed by the No. 21, car
rying the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and
two companies Of the Sixth Illinois.
The work of loading the last-mentioned
vessel went busily forward all day.
Some trouble was experienced in get
ting the 1000 mules that were to go on
ship aboard, but otherwise the work
was done rapidly and without the least
accident. The men Of the Sixteenth
were most enthusiastic over the chance
Of shortly seeing active service in

pie who were assembled to see them

EULATE RELEASED.
1t Was Found That u Verbal Parole

1t Was Found That II Verbal Parole
Was Sufficient.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The navy
department has rescinded the order
compelling commanding officers of the
Spanish fleet destroyed off Santiago
to give a written parole or suffer con-
finement on the prison ship Santee, at
Annapolis. Admiral Cervera was per-
mitted to give a verbal parole, and
Capt. Eulate, of the Vizoaya, demand
ed the same privilege. He declined to
sign the written parole, and was there
fore ordered on board the Santee.
In looking up precedents, the navy
department has found that captive
commanding officers of warships are
required to give verbal parole only.
and Capt Eulate was therefore re-
leased. The written paroles of all the
other officers of the Spanish navy at
Annapolis were received at the navy
department today. In each case the
officer had written on the form that he
accepted the parole "as the admiral
understands it."
