London. June 16.-This is the situa-

dispatches tonight:
III is really a state of veiled war. The
members OF the foreign legations in Pc

Chinese troops are only restrained from
attacking them by fear of the legation

Meanwhile, the ministers are alto

inspiring features of the great
gathering. The deep tones Of two
hundred Methodist preachers just
about raises the root.
The sermon of DR.. Rankin,
editor of the Texas Christian
Advocate, Friday afternoon was
one of the features of the confer

waited the large audience.

agement for the publishing house
at Nashville than perhaps any
other person has done. Mrs. Var
brough is superintendent Of the
supply department of the Woman's
Home Mission society. Her ad-
dress was one of the most striking
incidents Of the conference. She
has her work remarkably in hand
and spoke freely clearly and plain
ly. AT the close Of her words
many eyes filled with tears, and
one could easily see that, though
90 play had been made on the
feelings Of the conference, she had
gained the love of the body. Mrs.
Yarbrough is an angel Of mercy to
the needy preacher. She has sent
in supplies to the Indian
Mission conference in the last four
years. She says that now she can
surely say that she knows ut is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." The Home Mission So
ciety has sent S702S.1 13 to the In
dian Mission conference to aid in
the erection Of parsonages.
Mrs. Yarbrough said the reason |

lines sent to one preacher while
some other applicant received none
vas not intentional. For instance,
sne would send a blank to one of

t for some time, then she thinks

A. Kuntz, the 73-year old man who

selling liquors without a license, was

Several witnesses We're examined, each
I of whom testified that he had obtained
beer at the old mans house on Queen
street, on Sunday last. when they were
discovered by Deputy Sheriff Chilling

At the conclusion of this testimony
+ Attorney Strauss for the defendant
arose to enter plea of guilty to the
charges and to ask that mercy be shown
his client.
The attorney made a forceful plea in
mis- argument for leniency, and told a
pathetic story of the wee and privations
which old age thrust upon Kuntz. He
said that up TO two years ago. at the
age of seventy, the defend ant had work
