TO PICTURE SUFFERINGS
OF THE CHINESE COURT
Mcngolian Official Asks That Details
Of Flight From Peking Be
Published

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 1.-According
to Oriental papers brought by the steam
ship Glenogie, high official of the Chi
nese Government has memorialized the
throne to publish an illustrated book
showing the sufferings of the court dur
ing its memorable fight from Peking, and
asked that the book be circulated
throughout China, so that the people of
the empire can see what they were re-
sponsible for in countenancing the Boxer
uprising. This, it is expected, would
serve as a warning to them not to place
the court in such a humiliatfng position
again.
AS reactionary effect of the Boxer
movement large numbers of Chinese at
Kiaochow are becoming Christians.
The bow and arrow have ceased to be
official army weapons in China. Accord
ing to the .Hongkong press, an imperial
edict was issued on Oct. 26, abolishing
the bow and substituting the gun. The
edict was read for the first time at an
examination of large number of candi-
dates for, positions in the military de-
partment at Canton.
Private advices received ~ Yokohama
from Vladivostok are to the effect that
the River Amur was closed to shipping IN
Oct Is and from now on communication
with Amur Joints will be effected by
way of Eastern Siberia.

BERLIN BoERsE IMPROVES.
Reports From the United States In.
fuence the Market.

BERLIN, Dec. Increased confidence
and further gains were noticeable on
the Boerse during the last week. 1t was
the best week in many months, all de-
partments scoring advances.
The German financial reviews explain
the improvements on the BOerse in vari-
Gus ways. They all agree, however, that
the domestic and industrial situation does
not warrant this improvement. Among
the causes named as responsible for the
weeks amelioratiOn is the great abun-
dance of money, the forthcoming fiOtation
of numerous domestic, foreign and
state loans, uShering in an era
of greater activity for the banks of
emission, and the especially strong Amer
lean iron market. This market is giving
unusual strength to German iron shares.
These have also profited from the ex-
pected reduction in the price of coal.
which was announced yesterday and
which amounts, in most grades, to 1
mark per ton. The reduction in coal
also DrOfited the coal shares, though to
a less degree than the other deDartmentS
The reports from the United Sites ex-
ercise an especially strong influence on
the market. The BOersen Courier says
these reports constituted the markets
chief impulse, and points to the eXceS-
sive optimism shown by German specu-
lators, saying it is a fact that German
iron shares since the recent improvement
have risen more than United States Steel
The other papers attempt to dampen this
excessive optimism, and refer to the con-
tinued discouraging reports from the
iron trade. News from the Lorraine and
Luxembourg districts represent business
there as growing worse. The Cologne
Gazette says the demand for plates has
improved, and that producers believe the
depression has reached its extreme limit.
American securities were apparently
neglected. The money market was the
easiest known for years; call loans reach
ed l per cent. 1t was at times almost i'm
possible to place money, and the abun-
dance of money made the monthly settle
ment extremely easy.
The Frankfurter Zeitung believes that
the rates for money will continue to be
low, and that the Improvement in the
market is likely to continue.

MEXICAN HISTORY RECORDS
what is known as the "Pie War" or
Pastry Cooks War, but we have now
been threatened for several weeks with
a still more absurd "Asphalt War"
Battleships and an ultimatum have been
daily launched at Venezuela by Wash
ington correspondents, all on account
of an alleged injustice TO an American
company holding a concession for the
working Of Venezuelan asphalt beds.
Luckily the rival concessionaires were
also American, who, in their turn,
employed able counsel to prosecute the
war" vigorously in Washington. The
result has been perceptible subsidence
OF the bellicOse spirit. 1t appears
probable that the Navy Department was
first taken in by the appeals Of the
company that wanted to overrule the
Venezue Ian courts by American guns,
but 1t fortunately pulled up in time and
toned down its first instructions to the
naval officers dispatched to La Guayra.
The whole incident. now evidently
declining to wards humdrum settlement
by negotiation and judicial process,
illustrates the skill and speed with
which we can dissemble our love for
country in behalf of which we were
ready six years ago to 90 to war with
Great Britain.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DEATH HAS
probably entaIled one Of the heaviest
Insurance losses Of modern times. The
practice Of selling insurance on the lives
OF prominent people has beer followed
in England for years, with the result
that policies covering the lives of num-
eTous rulers have been written for
persons having no kiDship whatsoever
with the assured.
While the English law presupposes
some sort of insurable interest in the
first instance when a policy is taken out,
it often happens that the contract
changes hands aud is purchased by some
one as an investment, or Tor speculation.
Then it becomes little more than a
wager with the expectancy of life as the
actuarial basis for the investment.
Edward VII, is said by insurance men
20 be heavily insured in the same way.
But the London cable to the effect that
payment OF insurance on the life of the
Queen may disturb the financial situa
tiOn is pronounced absurd by those at
all familiar with the facts. While the
Queens death may entail payment Of
SIS, 900 600 or more, underwriters say it
is ridiculous to suppose that such a
demand would have any effect upon the
comp lnies concerned or that they would
experience the slightest Inconvenience
in arranging a settlement A dozen
different companies may contribute to
the fund which will no doubt be
collected without delay, soon satisfying
all outstanding claims

Since the offer was made more than 800
marriages have been celebrated. There
are many left. however-it is said as
many as & 900. These Indian girls are
not unhandsome, some are beautiful aud
many are finely educated"
Other letters followed. Some con-
tanned sentimental expressions, but all
said the writers were willing to take the
$Io 600 dots with the girls. One man IN
particular evidently feared he might be
too late, for he said: Il consider that I
am morally married TO one of them,
having been so from the time that
expressed a willingness to enter into the
alliance"
Another said: "I should like a girl
who IS good looking; from is to ~
metres IN height, and Of good figure"
Still another that he did not object
to Indian blood;" he had campaigned
in Africa, and would be delighted to JOIN
his old companions in arms"-evidently
thinking that fighting is the pastime OF
all Indians in their own country.
Ofcourse the whole thing is nothing
but huge joke on the would be grooms.
AS many as a dozen letters have been
received and referred to the Secre-
tarY OF the Interior, who has directed
that the writer's be informed that the
Government has made no such offer as
indicated in the newspaper article.
Other letters are expected and il is not
improbable that printed blanks will have
to be provided, and one sent to each
anxious seeker after dusky bride with
a fortune.

ferns. In the centre of the church. above
the chancel, were suspended in large gol-
den letters the figures 'ls5l-190l,' signi-
flying the golden anniversary of the
church. A special musical programme
was rendered by the choir. which had
been augmented for the occasion.
The Rev. P. Brand. of Pittsburg. Pa.
Vice President of the General Synod,
preached the sermon at the morning SER
vice, which was conducted in German.
He took for his text ST. John ii:1-7, and
said in part: ITO celebrate the festivals
of joy is more than merely a praiseworthy
custom. The church of today has acQuir-
ed from the church of old the habit of
celebrating certain days of the year as
feast days. The church in former times
was compelled by law TO celebrate these
periods. No matter whether or not there
is now-no such law, which compeis us
to celebrate certain events, just as there
is no law compelling US now to celebrate
Sundays and other days, there are times
and causes which lead one TO arrange for
festivals of JOY.
1T Is good at times for the tired pill
grim to stand still, look into the
past the future and look up above all.
And so it is good for this congregation
to look over the history of its life and
bring sacrifices of thanks. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Trinity Church never
had very large field of mission it has
always been a beacon light which burned
with the true word of God and in his
honor and glory. A new generation has
gradually grown up which changes the
outward form of the language gradually.
1t is but right and just that one should
bear Justice to a real necessity in this
direction. The Lord will have the gospel
taught in all languages. With great care
and attention let US fill the wine into new
gourds when the old ones become worn
out.
"A period points not only backward.
Let us also look into the future, as you
can do with confidence in God, He will
be true to you according to his promises.
Much has been done in the fifty years of
the existence of this congregation, and l
myself can say how your love for the
word and the sacrament kept you to-
