WAS NOT CONVENTIONAL.
Dwight L. Moody Spoiled the Customary
English Formula.

CnSlIsh Formula.
The late evangelist Dwight L.
Moody was one of the plainest of
Americans, and greatly disliked all
ceremonies OF merely perfunctory
character. During his first visit to
England he had attended meeting at
which the Earl Of Shaftesbury was
chairman. The duty of proposing
vote of thanks was assigned to him,
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin, Rev. Mr..
Moody of Chicago, will now move a
vote OF thanks to the noble Earl who
has presided on this OCCASION"
The whole thing was quite out of
Mr.. Moody's line. English formali-
ties might or might not have come
gracefully from his lips had he at
tempted them, but he did not. With
an utter disregard of conventionality
he burst upon the audience with the
announcement:
"The speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with, Pm not Rev.
Mr.. Moody at oil. Pm plain Dwight
L. Moody, Sunday school worker.
And then Pm not your American
cousin; by the grace of God Pm your
brother, interested with you in our
Fathers work for his children.
"And now about this vote of
thanks to the noble Earl for being
our chairman this evening" I don't
see why we should thank him any
more than he should thank us.
When at one time they offered to
thank our Mr.. Lincoln for presiding
over a meeting in Illinois he stopped
it. He said he'd tried to do his duty
and they'd tried to do theirs. He
thought it was about an even thing all
around"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. Moody's hearers
Such talk could not be gagged by any
known standard. Mr.. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.

BIG BRAG FOR CALIFORNIA.
As State It Admitted Itself and Since Has
Done Wonders.
Los Angeles Land of Sunshir

Los Angeles Land of Sunshine.
California, "the only State which
ever admitted itself to the Union,"
celebrated its fiftieth birthday this
month. On the 9th of September,
1850, Congress ratified it-though not
without serious grumbling at the inn
pudence of the Pacific youngster.
Aud we have good many reasons to
celebrate Admission day.
If the East were as familiar as it
might be with its own history, Sept. 9
would be a national holiday, for no
other one act OF Congress has done SO
much for the Union as the admission
of California to full sisterhood. Much
as it has wrought for itself in the half
century (and no other State has done
so much) California has done far more
for the country.
In the first place, it saved the
Union. There were fifteen free States
and fifteen slave States and California
gave the North majority in the Sen
ate. 1t was the death-knell of slavery.
financially it set the Union up in
business, invented sound money and,
up to date, has produced the greater
part of all the nation ever handled.
Geographically it has doubled the ma
ton in area, for it directly caused all
the Statos betwoon the Mississippi nd
the Pacific. 1t taught the country
big railroad building, big mining, big
steamboating and the noblest clipper
ships in history. In a hundred lines
of progress it has been the awakener
of the provincials back home. Above
all, it has taught bigger life. Fifty
years ago almost wilderness, it is to.
day the most advanced State in the
Union. 1t is richer, happier, health
ier, per capita, than any one of its
fifty.odd sisters. Its children average
bigger and have fewer sicknesses; its
old people live longer, its strong peo-
pie have more good Of life. 1t gets
more out OF the soil, per capita, than
any other State-and ten times more
out of the sky. And, with all its In
comprehensive wealth, its education
its refinement, it is, above all things
richest in its art OF life. A vast pro-
portion OF its citizens were born a
thousand or two thousand miles away
and in good homes, but to all Of them
California is home in a sense no Other
State knows. 1t is not only where
they live and like it; it is, in the
words of an Irish Californian, "tht
only place they'd be found dead living
in." And as they are not provincials
who know better, but know (betweer
them) the whole earth, their prefer
ence means something.

the purpose of provoking discord among
the powers and of retarding and weaken

The Chinese minister, Lu Hal Huan- 49,

Since he has been forbidden by the Count
Won Buelow to send any more cipher tele-

of the Chinese residents of Germany have
left the country during the last two days.

that the situation is growing steadily worse
and that the anti-foreign movement Is

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE.
willing to Recognize Any Chinese
Government That Governs.

Berlin, July 1S.-From two sources dis
tinct, the correspondent of the Associated
Press today ascertained that Count Won
Buelow has finally succeeded In aliayins
the suspicious of Russia aroused by En-
peror Wlnlam's recent speeches and py
other facts, and that an entente regarding
future action in China has been reached
by Russia, Germany and France. The for
eign secretary convinces Russia that Ger
many would in no wise interfere with his
plans in Manchuria and northern China,
as we'll as Korea, and that Germany har-
bors no desire of territorial a~ggrandize-
ment. Russia on her part agrees not to
interfere with Germany's trade in Russia's
sphere of influence in China after order has
been established. ~
The first result of this understanding has
been the issuance of strict orders by the
Russian censorship to pass hostile press
kilograms, referring to Germans action
in China.
In this latest arrangement, Count Won
Buelow has the support of influential con-
sentative parties within the court, army
and naval ramifications, whose programme
the kreuz Zeitung has just defined.
Germany will join the campaign only
as all the other powers shall do. Her
sphere of influence and her main action
must not transcend Tuan Tsun. There is
no question of new territory.
Germany must recognize any Chinese
government able and willing to accord rep
terests will best be served in accord with

H IRON TRADE.
Past Week the Most Active OF the
Year..

Cleveland, Ohio, July 19.-The Iron Trade
Review says: The past week has been
without doubt the most active of the year
in finished material. The significant fact
established by those transactions is that
a basis has been reported on which bust
ness will be done. and that the main OBJ
stacle for months has been distrust of
existing prices, and not such ar utter dry
ing up Of business as some views have in
Dictated. TIL mills have shown in the con-
tests of the past week a disposition to put
prices where buyers want them, and some
rather savage work has been done in the
struggle for orders. In steel bars and in
plates, contracts have been taken at figures
relatively lower iilan the lowest record of
three years ago, taking account Of tOday's
cost for fuel, ore ana labor. Sellers have
had to forget that any such prices We're
ever on their books as We're secured with
such ease nine and twelve months ago
the main purpose being to end the long
drawn run OF driblets and deal again in
considerable blocks. Tt is to be noted, how
ever, that the very low prices are on bust
ness which will yield early specifications,
and mills are not inviting long contracts on
TINS basis. for there is a strong leaning to
the belief that later in the year higher
prices will prevail for material that for
week has gone begging. The business OF
the past Week mas been we'll scattered.
Construction contracts in the hands OF
bridge, boiler, tank and fitting works have
taken a large part of it.

to force his nomination for the senate
will be- introduced has not leaked out,
but it is certain that it will be subse-
quent to the distribution of the state
offices.
Though the work is near at hand there
is a surprising absence of interest on the
surface, at least in candidates. AvoWed
candidates for the goyernorship are John
Idaho, Frank Martin, secretary of the
state central committee. and L.. G. Rice,
state treasurer. Others are discussed,
among them Honest" John HALEY. With
the populists the only one discussed is ..
H. Andrews, but they have at least one
candidate for each Of the other offices. II
them, Mrs. Mary a. Wright will probably
be put forward. Miss French, the present
incumbent, is a candidate before the dem
ecrats for reelection to the school super
intendency, and if things come his way

1t is not TO be entertained that the out

berg will be the harmonious fusion thai
Dubois speaks Of and hopes for. The elimi.
nation of Steunenberg does not follow tina
he will be defeated, and he will as ardently
as ever oppose the nomination Of y sena.
tor. In this he will receive support in quar-
tiers where he was opposed today, for there
is at least one other aspirant for the SEN
ate. This is James, a. Hawley,, Who was
the real candidate behind today's turning
movement, but not in the interest of .Du.
bois. as many believe. Hawley regards Il
to his own interest that a senator be mo-
named, but states, and solemnly too, tha
if the issue is forced he had not the slight.
est doubt of the result. He laughs at the
assumption that the issue was solely be.
that at all times he has been in control OF
more votes in the convention than has
Steunenberg and Dubois together. He made
this statement yesterday and was laughed
at. He makes it tonight and men are con.
sidering it with plenty of interest.

in reality it is a slow process. The stom-
