cal Chinese appeal for mediation; but In
the absence OF definite news regarding
the fate of the ministers and of reliable
indications of the real origin of the ap-
peal. it seems that Lord Salisbury, the
premier, considered it was not even nee
essary to publish the fact that the appeal
had been received, or to do anything be-

perhaps an intimation that nothing
could be done until news from Pekin had

Chamber of Commerce Objects to
Bill Now Before Congress.
NOT MENACE TO NAVIGATION.
Many shipping Men Say No Legisia-
tton 4. Needed-Unanimous Ac-
ton Against Interfering With
Present Conditions Attorney
stedmnn Of the Robertson Raft
Company. Tells of Its Operations.

Legislation against log rafting on Puget
sound, or the high seas, is opposed by
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Tne
matter has been fully considered ana
word has been sent to Senator Turner 10
that effect. The investigation was
brought about through an inquiry receiv-
ed from the senator few days ago ask
ing the attitude of Seattle on the sub
ject, as 1t was before his senatorial COM
mittee in the form of bill prohibiting
the operation of RATS on the high seas,
which was introduced by a representa-
tive from California and was aimed par
ticularly at the Robertson Raft Com
pany.
The secretary of the chamber interview
ed a number of prominent shipping men
on the matter. with the following result
George w. Stetson. sawmill owner: No
legislation is needed. Better leave mat
ters as they are.
er: 1t will be bad legislation. There is
little or no danger.
Capt. E. E. Game, shipping man: Raft
ing is a menace 10 ships when not prop
erly done If done properly, 1t is not OBJ
iectionable.
Robert Moran, shipbuilder: Rafting on
be prohibited by law. Ships alone should
do the freighting on the ocean.
l.. b. Stedman. attorney for the Rob-
ertson Raft Company: No vessel has ever
in consequence of them. Legislation will
be of doubtful constitutionality. Rafting
is cheaper than shipping. 1t helps the
farmers and small holders to get rid
probably of the small timber on their
lands that would otherwise go to waste
and destruction.
Judge Hoyt made the motion at yester-
days meeting that the chamber express
itself opposed to the pending legislation
II believe the less we legislate on that
matter the better" said he. There is no
necessity for such legislation" Josiah
Collins seconded the motion. and II was
carried without an opposing voice.
In discussing the motion Attorney
Stedman said the Robertson Raft Com
pany had expended $4,000 at West Sc
attic, and that If the bill became a law
it would force moving the plant to Brit
ish Columbia. He claimed there were
$4,000 worth of piles in each raft. and
that this year II was the intention to
build three or four RATS and taRe them
to San Francisco.
The fact that members of the Renton-
Holmes Company and Pope & Talbot
We're stockholders and trustees in the
company showed that shipping men gem
orally We're not opposed TO the operation
of the RATS, he said. and only So per cent.
Of all the shipping interests of the
Sound and San Francisco were opposing
the business of his institution.

The CHRISTIAN OCT. 81.

Apropos of the coming engagement
Of Liebler & Co. S production of 1.-The
Christian" at the Barre opera house,
it is noted fact that plays that APP
peal to the best ideals Of human ma
ture-to the heart--have always at
tracted unusual notice and correspond
ing financial success. There are sew.
eral thrilling dramatic situations in
"The Christian" but many think its
most artistic effect is reached ia the
last act, where Horatio Drake, played
by Frederick Conger joins the hands
of Glory Quayle and John Storm and
leaves them to their labor of uplifting
the fallen in the London Sums. In
the novel on which Mr.. CRANE found
ed the play, John Storm dies after his
marriage to Glory, from the wounds
inflicted by the mob that attacks
him. In the drama he lives, Glory
abandons her cherished career on the
stage and joins him in his labor, as
pictured in the accompanying illustra-
ton.
The scene represents the club room
in John Storm S church, in Soho, Lon
don. This scene is representative OF
social effort now widely spread, in
London, which aims cat bringing the
church to the people by help of what
soever is innocent and pure and Of
good report in their daily pleasures. "
Thus the clubs connected with church
es are often mixed clubs Of young men
and women, where there is dancing,
singing, amateur theatricals, and in
one case, boxing, in immediate assoc
citation with religious services. This
social movement began when young
Anglican clergymen Of the Holy
Church party, such as Father Joy of
Shorditch and Hon. and Rev. James
Adderley formerley Of Plaistow, but
some Of the Non-cOnformists bodies
are now as prominent in the work Of
Christian Social Union, and none to
more purpose that the West London
Mission of Rev. Hugh Price Hughes.
