MUST CAPTURE FUGITIvEs.
Germans Insist ON Destroying Chinese
Government.

Berlin, August 2O.-The fight of the
dowager empress and the disappear
ance of the emperor of China is here
regarded as of much greater and last
ing Importance than the mere taking
of Picking and the complications re-
sulting therefrom are speculatively
discussed by the press and in political
circles. The overwhelming opinion is
that since all the powers have agreed
to install strong central government
at Picking, it becomes necessary first
to destroy or at least render harm
less the fugitive government, which is
responsible for the whole Chinese
eruption. Therefore, it is claimed, it
is necessary to follow and capture the
fugitives. This probably will call for
the employment of large additional
forces, besides those Un.ch are now
in China.

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Murderer of John W. Robson.
Sioux CITY. Confesses.


Sioux CITY. Confesses.
Sioux City, August lit is now
believed that the mystery of months
as to who murdered john w. Robson
at Sioux City, December 20 last has
been solved. The murder was mys-
terry and the crime produced pro-
found sensation. Frank Peyton. con-
feSsedly a robber and burglar, has
confessed in st. Louis that he struck
with sledge hammer a man who in
terrupted him as he was burglarizing
safe near the police station in Sioux
City. The Sioux City police have
$ nee the confession discovered that
Frank Peyton, an eX-convict. who
served four years in the Lincoln,
Neb.. pententiary for the robbery
of gambling house in Omaha, was
in Sioux City for three weeks during
December, and that he left there
about the time of the murder. Why
suspicion never was attached to him
seems now the mystery.

THE ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM.
Bishop Satterlee's Sermon a
Chrixt's TriumphnI March

The altar and pulpit OF the Church OF the
Epiphany were decorated with lain
branches and potted plants for the Palm
Sunday services. About thirty candidates
were confirmed by Right Rev. Henry Y
Satterlee Bishop of Washington. After
the confirmation address Bishop Satterlee
delivered the sermon his subject being
"Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusa-
lem" which Palm Sunday commentaries
He said in part
Prom the first hour of this day. through
the Holy Week. and until the resurrection
and those incidents which Immediately
followed, we have a complete history OF
every moment OF Christs life. One quar-
ter of the contents of the Gospel Of the
Apostles is devoted to this period. Today
Palm Sunday. commentaries the one fes-
tive moment Of Christ's life his triumphal
entry into Jerusalem. Christ made his
journey toward Jerusalem along the high
road from Jerico. Dean Stanley has es-
tablished the location where the first views
of the Holy City burst upon the sight of
the Saviour. Dean Stanley wept. as Christ
wept when he reached this spot. There
is a spiritual meaning in this first glimpse
Of Jerusalem by the Saviour. II is as the
first glimpse Of a higher truth-a glimpse
of heaven.
We must learn what means the fellow
ship Of his suffering and the power OF his
death. Had there been no sin in the
world Christ would have lived most
happy life Christ came to do Gods will.
His mission was to save us from the re-
suit of our sin. What is sin? The Presi-
dent Of Harvard College had been invited
to offer a criticism OF the prayerbook
which is used in our service. He gave 1t
as his opinion that there was too frequent
reiteration of a confession of sin and
misery. But I ask OF you is that not the
very point at issue. There is only one
sin in the worid-the spirit OF Iawiessness.
1t is within us all. What was the sin of
the Prodigal Son? The spirit of lawless-
ness. He was not content with the CON
ditions which regulated his fathers house
mold. He would have his portion. and geek
abroad what would satisfy his restlessness-
the spirit OF laWlessness. By our spirit
of lawlessness We have caused Christ's
death. The spirit of fawlessness is the
same in US as in those who cried Cruelty
him. Had we lived then. and they had
lived today they would have been as we
with our spirit of lawlessness, and it
would have been We who cried Cruelty
him.
Acknowledge to God this spirit of law
lessness within you that makes you rebel
against his law. Read the sermon on the
mount. l do not say initiate the acts of
Christ, but say to drink in his spirit. You
will then live as Christ would have lived.
The moment you take upon yourself to
live the life of Christ you take upon
yourself the reproach of Christ. You will
realize all that assailed the Saviour. Have
faith in the cross. One is only ashamed
Of what he considers weak. Have faith
and confidence in the power of the cross
and you will not feel the shame of the
reproach."
