THE Y. M. c. 4. NEWS MEETING.

1 The meeting for men at the Grand
 Opera House Sunday afternoon, under
 the auspices of the Young Mems Chris | tian association, was well attended
 After the usual music by the orchestra
 and two solos by MT Carl Mears, the 1 Rev. Alexander Irvine gave a stirring address on the subject of "The Plot of Dethroned Devil' taking his theme from Matthew 12:43. The speaker said in part Evil is admitted little by lit- tle When some evil passion gets in and your discover that it is mastering you; you say to it 'go,' and the passion says put me out if you want to, but the possessor is not strong enough to expel
 the n1onster,and if by some superhuman effort the demon is dethroned the battle is just begun. I believe much in that saying that you can't take something away from a man unless you give him something and take the place of it. Pro- hibition is a good thing, but substitution is better. Bishop Potter. said that the saloon was the poor mans club, and how he was clubbed for saying it. I tell you, friends, that nature demands pleasure and if you don't provide a good place for them to have it in they will go to hell for it; make . hell of the saloon"
 Tt may not be the question of drink or of lust. It may be the question of so- cial ambition that ruins us. There was once a Russian soldier who sought fame as soldier, was promoted to general ship, where he yielded his authority with a high hand, but he was not satis- fled and determined to find out what the gospel contained. He was, as it were, transformed by it's teachings, and soon after took up his abode at the age of siXty-two, on a farm among the peas ants. He works six months during the year and writes the remaining six months, and the world reads and is blessed by the writings and life of Count Tolstoi.
 Men, diagnose your own case this af- ternoon, by the help of God expel the demon and enthrone Christ"

The Lion and the Bear Have Made a
Trade.

London, April 29.-rhs announcement
that England and Russia have signed
self.denying agreement regarding China.
which is intended to put an end to the
contention over railway and other conces-
sions in that country is the most import
ant news of the day. 1t Is officially con-
flrmed here this afternoon and the papers
ara running 1t with big head lines Inc
news comes ON top of Mr.. George >,
Goschen's speech OF Wednesday last In the
course OF which, after taking an optim-
istic view OF the political future;and with
reference TO the agreements arrived at
with France and Germany, he said: "A
friendly understanding with Russia Is
also ON the eve Of conclusion"
The present agreement puts an end to
the Anglo-Russian struggle in China and
is taDtumouEt to q settlement Of the ques-
ito of the sphere of influence of the two
coutries. Under the agreement Great
Britain has undertaken not to press rail-
way or other concessions in North China,
while Russia agrees TO the British de-
mand that no part of the basin of Oh e
Yang Use Kiang shall be alienated. Rus
STA also recognizes explicitly that british
commercial interests are supreme in the
Yang Use Kisng bnsin which ia under
stood to extend d considerable distance
attempts has been made to divide the re-
gipn. Everything recently has pointed
to Russia desire for n settlement, In
order to allow the successful exploration
of the Siberian railway and also with q
view to raising money In Great Britain
for the development of the industries OF
Russia. The activity of Russian bankers
and agents OF the Russian ministry of
finance in London has borne testimony to
the financial end that Russia has in
view. Strong proof of the anxiety Of the
Russian government to tap English CAPT.
tai appeared in the publication in the
London Times of secret memorandum
recently submitted to O committee of
Russian ministers by NJ. DE White, the
therein that Russia cannot dispense with
foreign capital Referring to Russia s
agricultural depression, NJ. De Witt
pointed out that. free trade with England
was the only market in which Russia
could find relief. England, he said, was
the largest buyer of the agricultural
produce of the world, yet up to the pres
emit time Russia has had hardly any foot
ing in the English market M. De Witt
adduced statistics of English imports of
cattle, sheep, wheat and flour showing
that in each case except that of sheep, the
United States overwhelmingly headed the
imports, while Russis was at the bottom
of the list. He therefore urged the foster
ing of Russian trade with England and
then enlarged upon "tbe Importance OF
England as market for placing Russian
funds" and the necessity of attracting
British capitalists by the stability of the
industrial regulations of Russia and other
wise inspiring confidence. Ioday's an
nouncement of the Chinese settlement Is
one of the first fruits of Nj. De Wits pol
icy and it will undoubtedly have an i'm
portant bearing upon the future relations
OF the two countries,
