SHARP WARNING TO CHINA
(continued from First Page)

Continued from First Page.) gram was sent to the United States em- bassies in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, and St. Petersburg, and to the United States minister at Tokio, Japan:
 Department of State"
 "Washington, Aug 1.
 "In reply to suggestion of Lii Hung Chang that the ministers might be sent under safe escort to Tien Tsin provided the powers would engage not to march on Pekin, the secretary of state replied on July 30:
 This government will not enter into any arrangement regarding the disposi- ton or treatment of legations without first having free communication with Minister Conger. Responsibility for their protection rests upon the Chinese government. Power to deliver at Tien- Tsin presupposes power to protect and open communication. This is insisted on.
 This message was delivered by MT. GoodnoW on the 31st to Viceroy Iii, who then inquired whether, if free commu- nication were established between min- isters and their governments it could be arranged that the powers should not advance on Pelzin pending negotia- tions To this inquiry the following reply was sent on August 1:
 "Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai
 T do not think it eXpedent to submit the proposition of Earl Ii to the other powers. Free communication with our representative in Pekin is demanded as a matter of absolute right, and not as a favor. Since the Chinese government admits that it possesses the power to give communication, it puts itself in an unfriendly attitude by denying it. No negotiations seem advisable until the Chinese government shall have put the diplomatic representatives of the powers In full and free communication with their respective governments, and re- moved all danger to their lives and lib- erty. We would urge Earl Lii earnestly to advise the imperial authorities of China to place themselves in friendly communication and cooperation with the relief expedition. They are assum- ing heavy responsibility in acting otherwise. Hay. aA"You will communicate this informal ton to the minister of foreign affairs"

ARE IMPERIALIsTs NEURoTIC

ARE IMPERIALISTS NEUROTIC?
 My correspondent "Marmaduke" sug- gested last week that some eminent ex- pert on lunacy are convinced that jin- goism is new development of brain disease. I should rather say that it is the result of cerebral laws which have always existed. but of which little was known until lately. The brain is ma chine which receives sensations through the auditory and the visual nerves. Each of these nerves transmits images to particular cell. Upon an image be- ing transmitted toit, the nerve connects itself by the "neuronS" with other nerves that lead to the cells where for mer images are stored up-the memory cells Thus cerebral activity is pro- ducd and the new image is compared with the old one. A sudden thrush of exciting images causes strong vibra- tions over the nerve centers, the brain becomes over-wrought, and the mental balance is temporarily upset. In this condition persons fall into state of ex asperat ton, become fatuous and often cruel, and swell with pride and self-con- tent All controlling force derived from comparison of the new images with those stored up in the memory cells by education and experience Is in abyance. This condition is contagious because the image of one mans mind is transmitted to the brains of other men, with the re- suit that while none reflect, each is in- luenced by the impression that his sen sation is that of many others. Such suppression of all judgment-for this it really is-has often occurred, and has led to much evil in the past, whenever the uncontrolled sensations of the mo- ment have been translated into action. There was a predisposition to jingoism before the war because 1t was dubbed patriotism. It culnlinated when war occurred. owing to the mental action that l have explained. It is not yet over, but the affected are on the high road to recovery and this accounts for MT. Chamberlain and his gang wanting to precipitate a general election before the recovery Is complete and the electo- ral brain again works normaly.-Lon don Truth.

THE SENATOR'S CRITICISM.

THE SENATOR'S CRITICISM.
 One of the most lovable men l ever knew is R. R. Hit, of Illinois, chair man of the committee on foreign rela- tions. He has spent nearly his whole life in the practice of statesmanship. When a mere boy he reported steno- graphically the great Lincoln-Douglas debates which in itself was a liberal political education. Then he spent sev- eral years in office in Washington. For eight years he was secretary of lega- ton in Paris under Elihu B. Washburn, and for much of that time was charge d'affaires. He was assistant secretary of state under Blaine He excels in the delicate art of story telling,
 Not long ago in the cloak-room l was talking with him about Thomas Hart Benton, whereupon he told me an an- eodote of Benton's most masterful an- tagonist, Senator James stephen Green, of Missouri.
 Senator Green" said MT. Hitt twas not only man of splendid genius, but also of charming manner. He boarded at the National Hotel, where he was popular with men and women. The lat ter found out that the senator was not much of church-goer, and insisted that he should mend his ways in that regard. One Sunday he was late for dinner. The women asked him why.
 "I have been attending divine wor- ship replied the senator gravely.
 ITO what church do you go, sena- tor?' asked a woman.
 T don't know answered the courtly Missourian.
 "'Who preached?' they asked.
 "'I don't know he said. I walked up the avenue, turned up Fourth street and entered a church on the left hand side This was an Episcopal church.
 How did you like the service?' asked another woman.
 "'It appeared to me- answered the senator. that there was too much read ing Of the journal and too little de- bate, Washington Correspondence of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

inch long and is of white color It pen- etrates the bark of the trunk, making a hole about the size of pea. When 1t has made the hole the worm proceeds around the trunk eating it's way be- tween the bark and the woor. The point of entrance is indicated on the outside of the white bark by reddish fluid. This is the sap which the tree exudes. The worm is very destructive and unless it's ravages can be checked in time the tree succumbs to it. super intendent Theodore Wirth discovered the worm soon after it made it's appear ance and he at once took steps to pre- vent the trees from being destroyed He has run a wire through the holes in the trees and in this way has killed many of the worms. In order to reach the young worms that had not yet bored through the bark he had the out side of the trunk of the trees thorough ly washed with poisonous solution.
 Superintendent Wirth stated Monday evening that there was nothing uncom- mon in the appearance of this borer on the birch trees. Nearly every tree has it's particular borer Even the sturdy oak Is not an immune from the ravages of the borors. The birch borer differs in it's operations from the other mem- berS of the numerous tribe of borers in that it begins at the trunk of the tree while the others select the braSnches as the field of their destructive operations.
 MT. Wirth referred to the falling of branches from trees without any appa- rent reason, and said that their falling was the result of the work of the bor ing worms. He called attention to the practice of people owning trees of piling up the fallen branches and allowing them to remain on the lawn for weeks at time, This gives the worms an op- portunity to leave their fallen victims and go into the earth where they lay their eggs and hatch them. MT. Wirth strongly recommends to all owners of trees to burn the branches as soons as possible after they have fallen. The branches ought never to be allowed to remain more than day or two on the ground. He has had men at work gath ering up all the fallen branches in Eliz- abeth Park, and burning them.
 The precautions taken by Superinten- dent Wirth at the beginning of the sea- Soh lo plplect tile ems rom tnelf VOfa- cious enemy, the elm beetle. have been successful It will be remembered that MT, Wirth had the elms sprayed with a poisonous liquid. The beetles made their appearance this year on time, but their existence was brief They began to devour the poison sprayed leaves and soon died To-day all the elm trees on Bushnell Park are very healthy, and have a rich foliage. It is interesting to examine some of the leaves and to see in the small holes, not larger than good sized pin holes, the proof that the insect had begun its annual feast MT. Wirth has found as many as twenty dead in- sects on one leaf-Hartford Times.

AGAINST CHINA'S PARTITION

\SciitiiloCQ 4AOAil T llSl dSt.J
 And again is heard Gods command Choose us out men and go out to fight with Amalek A hot and sanguinary struggle has begun. Already a number of our breathren are over there under ire Many more are travelling along hostile coasts. You have seen the thousands who, to the call for volun- i teers to the front to guard the empire have assembled themselves to battle with victorious banners. We, who re- main at home are bound by other sa- cred duties. Woe unto us if we remain slothful and sluggish while they are engaged in their difficult and bloody ] work and if, from our place of security, we only curiously look on while they Wrestle in battle.
 Not only should we mobolize bat talions of troops, but we should also and shall set in motion an army of trained people to beg and entreat for our brethren that they may strike into the wild chaos with sword in hand. May they strike for our most sacred possessions. We would pray that God may make heroes of our men and lead those heroes to victory and that then, with laurels on their helmets and orders on their breasts. He may lead them home to the land of their fathers.
 Our fight will not be finished in one day; but let not our hands grow weary or sink until victory is secured. Let our prayers be as a wall of fire around the camp of our brethren Eternity will reveal the fulfillment of an old promise Call upon Me in trouble and I will deliver thee.' Therefore, pray con- tinuously."
 Berlin, Aug. 2.-The papers print sermon which was preached by Emperor William last Sunday on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from Exodus, chapter xviii, ', And it came to pass, when Moses held up lis hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand Amalsk prevail ed" The subject was "The Holy Duty and Holy Power of Intercession." The reports show that the discourse was quite bellicose towards China. Of the soldiers going thither the imperial preacher said: ''They shall be the strong arm which punishes assassins. They shall be the mailed fist which smites that chaotic mass They shall defend, sword in hand, our holiest pos- sessions. True prayers can still cast the banner of the dragon into the dust and plant the banner of the cross upon the walls"

ACTIVITY IN THE MARKET
Stocks Vacillate Between Sharp
Declines and Advances.
Weakness Of Certain shares Coun-
terbaIanced ny strength in Others.
Sugar Refining Depressed by R"-
mOrS Of Further Reductions i'm the
Rate of the Regular Dividend.

NEW YORK. March 15.-The Stock Mar
ket opened active and feverish. There were
sharp declines in Third Avenue, Sugar
Refining American Tobacco, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. and Missouri Pacific, with
the dealings in these instances in large
volume. On the other hand. the granger
group showed noteworthy strength, par
ticularly for Burlington and Quincy, which
advanced rapidly in the initial dealings.
The pronounced strength Of this quarter
OF the market had subsequently a good ef-
feet on the remainder OF the list. which
after the opening assumed a frmer tone.
The weakness in Sugar was again at
tended by reports that further reduction
in the rate OF dividend was likely. The
dealings in Third Avenue reflected the
technical position Of the stock in the mar
ket rather than anything new bearing
upon the property. Discussion of the re-
ceiver's report upon the property was
again active, but infeTences. drawn from
the figures. we're by no means encouraging.
The stock opened down AT an extreme de-
cline of four points from its closing prices,
but il subsequently, recovered part OF
this loss. The advance in Burlington and
quincy was attended by reports that an
other stop in the refundinE plan Of the
company will soon be announced.
The London market was exceedingly ir-
regular. and the dealings here for foreign
account at the opening of business were on
both sides OF the market. The specula-
tive sentiment of the market appeared to
be unsettled in regard to the monetary
situation. il apparently not being def
