ifcertain of the powers of Europe domi-
mated Chinese territory. Within month,
proclamations have been issued by the
Emperor, Kuang Hsu, calling on the
people to help him in his distress. The
governor OF the province of Human, Of
21,000,000 people, has just said in
proclamation; For my part. l, the gov
ernor, am cverburdened with anxiety
over the critical state through which our
empire is now passing" The Emperor
sent to one OF the Bible societies, asking
that 80 books on Christianity be i'm
mediately forwarded to him. Prayer is
now going up all over the empire that
his reading may turn him to the Lord
God. A national Patriotic Society was
launched at the recent examinations for
the Doctors degree at Picking, where
10000 students were assembled
Branches are being formed all over the
empire. The students at each center are
organizing themselves into a patriotic
propaganda. The constitution OF this
society requires that they institute a
system of preaching" on patriotic
themes. This is taken bodily from the
policy of the missionaries in spreading
the Gospel, the idea of preaching not be-
ing indigenous to China.
Here in Shanghai, "the great emporium
of China" we have met missionaries
from all sections OF the empire. From
such experienced leaders as Drs. Ashmore,
Muirhead, and Edkins, we hear that
everywhere there is an unusual eager
ness on the part Of the Chinese for the
Gospel. The situation is expressed in
the words, Zone OF the most momentus
crises that have ever occurredin missions
to the heather has now arisenin China"
Yet in the midst of all the uncertainty
there is a strong voice from the Old
Testament-"A nations whom thou
hast made shall come and worship be-
fore thee, 0 Lord and they shall gloriiy
thy name. For thou art great. and doeth
wondrous things thou art God alone. "

The hose race at Middlebury last week
resulted practically in a drawn battle,
the first and second prizes being equally
divided between the Volunteer Hose
company of Vergennes and the Steamer
Hose Of Winooski. The poor condition
of the track made the running hard and
the time slow. The Steamers of Winooski
were protested, it being claimed that
they had smuggled in men who had run
in former race. After considerable de-
liberation the executive board decided not
to sustain the protest.

BROUGHT TO A HALT.
Yesterday Being Legal Holiday, luetgerps
 Case Went Over to Monday.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Luetgert murder trial was brought to halt today When court was called to order this morning Lawyer Harmon, for the defense, objected to holding court and hearing of testimony today on the ground that it was legal holiday. Judge Gary. who had announced yesterday that the trial would go on to- day, had evidently reconsidered the iAatter, for he at once sustained Attorney Halmon's s objection and adjourned court unti. Mon- day.
 Judge Gary said that while in his opinion the fact that New Years day was legal holiday did not invalidate the proceedings the supreme court had never passed upon the matter, and there was a possibility of the one days proceedings spelling the work of months.
 There is possibility of the trial coming to sudden termination by reason Of the challenging for cause of Juror Eller w. Ferris, who Is charged with havlJg ex- pressed the opinion that the defndant should be hanged. The lawyers for the de- fense, it is said. have aff1davits to t,iis ef- feet and will present them to court NO action was taken today, however. 1

FIRM INGRAM BENEFITED.
Settlement of Ownership of Georgia Railway
 Lease Means Much.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Jan. 1.-In the opinion of persons here who know the ins and outs of railroad matters in the south, the settle ment yesterday of the ownership of the Georgia railroad lease means big things for Birmingham
 The fact that the Louisville and Nashville has gotten control of this road gives that company line direct from New Orleans to Charleston via Montgomery, Atlanta and Augusta.
 As the new acquisition of the Louisville and Nashville will open up new route to New York from New Orleans, via Mont gomery. Atlanta, Augusta Denmark and Atlantic Coast line. naturally the vestibule line now running from New Orleans via Montgomery, Atlanta and the Southern railway, will be taken off, which will force the Southern to put on and push a vestibule service from New Orleans via Meridian, Atlanta and the old Richmond and Danville railroad to New York.
 The Southern's new line from New Or leans to Washington via Meridian, Bir- mingham and Atlanta will be 1,165 miles as against 1.235 miles from New Orleans to via Montgomery. Atlanta, Au- gusta, Denmark and the Atlantic Coast Line. The Coast Line people claim better
