 Because the agitation probably saved ar innocent man.
 .Because it proved invaluable in ed ucating the masses.
 Because this revision marks the entrance of the moral idea into poli- ties where principle is too constantly sacrificed to immediate expediency and mutual toleration. Such q sacri- flee, in the long run, is ruinous to any nation.

SINCERE FRIENDSHIP FOR AMERICANS.
The Great Empire Continually open, ing Tn New Fields for the Intro. duction of the Products of Amcrt cnn Mechanical Ingenuity and American Capital.

Washington, July 11.-Nlr. Herbert IL D. Pierce. first secrctar.. of the United States embassy to Russia, has beon in Washington several days or leave of absence from his post. It has afforded an opportunity for talks witt tic president and state department ef= ficials of Russian affairs, both politica2 and commercial, and the imparting oi much interesting information whicf could not be brought by the ehannels of official reports.
 Relations Never More Cordial
 Speaking 10 a representative of the press Mr. Pierce said: The relations between the United States and Russia were never on more cordial basis than at present, and the friendship which is traditional between the two countries. finds constant expression 1T Russia. not only among officials, but also among the people of all classes. II is not too much to say that from the emperor down to the peasantry, there is sincere friendship for Us. and q desire to become acquainted with v Russia. of the skill and ingenuity winch has advanced this country with sach great strides.
 Openings for American Capital.
 Tor this reason there is great opening in Russia for American capi. tai. and for the introduction of Ameri. can machinery and methods of doing q Il T fr. tevon6 anything realized by the pee. pie in this country. Russia is just en. terinQ an era of tremendous prosper. ity, a sort of commercial and indus trial awakening. Here is the new field for American enterprise and capital. for, with our Pacific coast facilities, the Philippines and the Transsiberian hallway route, there is ready access for our goods into the very heart of Rus.

 Mir. HutchcOck's Success.
 During his ministry to Russia, MT. Hitchcock's personality and splendid business ability did much to stimulate our trade relations, and the effect is widespread and continuous. There is Speolal opportunity for investments III steel and iron industries, cotton mills and for the manufacture of machinery and tools. Then, too, our manufactur ed goods will almost find illimtable markets, although Russia has pro. tcctive tariff which is encouraging her own industries. Still. even with the tariff. she wants many of our manu. factured goods, such as steel rails, az the home production is far short ot sufficient 10 supply the present state of development.

Wolves Devour Their Young.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
AT the Zoo it was a. gala day, with
hundreds Of visitors They were well
repaid for their journey, for the ami
mails were in a rollicking mood and fur
nished plenty of fun. Quite tragedy
was enacted during the afternoon. Nine
little gray wolves were Gagged with the
parent animals along the walk by the
buffalo pens. Many ladies were among
the admiTing crowd that watched the
happy family. The little wheIps played
on the floor Of their Enclosure like a
group Of puppies. Suddenly the male
wolf and his mate drew back, snarling
to the corner of the cage. CrOuching an
instant, the wolves sprang, landing near
near the litter Of Whelps. Each of the
beasts clutched one OF the young and
gnawed at the little writhfng body. The
cries OF the young were piteOus, but,
apparently unmoYed, the parent wolves
continued their feast until the Whines
ceased and the whelps were dead.
Much excitement was created by the
occurrence. People from all parts of
the gardens hurried to the spot and
crowded the walk in front of the cages.
Several women in the thrOng who be-
held the gruesome sight became faint
and had to be assisted to benches. Be
fore keepers could interfere the wolves
had killed four of their litter and de-
voured the carcasses. The frenzied ami
mails were finally beaten to the rear of
their cage, and the remaining young
were taken out
Keeper Lover, who is in charge of the
wolves, has much difficulty in rearing
his pets. OF 20 whelps which have been
born during the past month there re-
main only five. 1.-THE wolves invariably

said Keeper Lover, and it is rare for
the whelps to live more than d few
weeks. It is impossible to rear them
apart from the parent beasts until they
are several months old Almost every
week I find the skin and bones of a
baby wolf which has fallen victim to
its parents instincts. Last week. owing
to the rapid depletion of the litter I re-
solver to separate the young from the
older beasts The result was unsatis-
