THEY KNOW No FEAR.
Chinese Will Never Forgive or Forget
the Foreigners.

New York, May 27.-Prince Oukhtom-
sky. president Of the Russo-C h1nese
bank, who is described as knowing the
Chinese, as having studied them and as
having lately spent four months at
Pelzin, is quoted at some length on the
Chinese situation in a St Petersburg
dispatch to the Herald In the course
Of the interview he said:
Il did not see Count Won WalderSee
at Peldn, but every one there knew that
he felt the uselessnesS of his position.
The kaiser thought Pel1in could be taken
with a battalion So it could but the
battalion could not stop there That is
what he did not understand. He did not
comprehend the tenacity- and silent re-
sfsting power of the Chinese, who have
the character Of the Finlander and the
characteristics Of Turanian blood The
Chinese Will never forgive and never for
get There is no fear with them. The
spirit of fatalism among them is far too
strong They would not care even if as
many more Of them were sacrificed"
DO they hate Germans particularly p
mo, they dislike US all about equally
and now more than ever"
What would have been the best
course to pursue2
Retire at once after the legations had
been rescued and treat the Chinese as
barbarians with whom we would have
no more intercourse Had that been
done Ii Hung Chang and the rest of the
mandarins would have come running
down after US. Instead Of that-and |
look upon it as shame that Russian
representatives should be in such a posi-
tiOn-ministers are running after Ii
Hung Chang, bowling, scraping and
craving audiences of him.
Should Germany not evacuate Pekin
before the wet season comes on, when
the season commences the legations can
not remain in the city They will have to
go up to the hills. They viii go with a
small guard of soldiers
What viii happen then2"
I'm the recent trouble over which
there were such great difficulties only
one Of the legations was attacked. The
probability is that the Chinese are now
more angry and excited than ever and
will attack all the legations Remem-
Der, the Chinese are very bitter, and
have much right to be so. The pillage
at Pekin was something awful. Pekin
was fabulously rich"
Prince Oulzhtomsky said further of
the situation.
The Germans do not mean to get out
Of China at all. That was what every
body knew who was in Pekin. It was
the common talk of every German there
and they made no attempt at concealing
the object OF their mission, which was
to stay
But what do they want2''
The provinces of Chanting and Chill.
adjacent to US in Manchuria-a territory
with twenty-five millions of Chinese in
habitants. They want Yangtse. but only
for trading purposes All this they look
upon as q colony for Germany"

WILL SHOW MISSOURI.
Gathering Pointers For a State His
toricaI Society.

Prof Isidor Loeb of the Missouri State
university Is here getting pointers from
the Kansas State Historical society on
how to conduct a similar society for Mis-
souri, The editors of that state have
started society along the same lines as
the Kansas association The last Missouri
legislature appropriated $500 to the work.
Prof Loeb is acting secretary. He is
professor of history at Columbia and the
headquarters of the society viii be at the
university.
Missouris history, as far as the preser-
walton OF it goes. is in a bad way. A
state society has not been previously in
existence. The move was started four or
nve years ago, but it is only this winter
that any effective work was done. His
torical societies, as Missouri has hereto
fore had them, have been altogether local
concerns, if not in name al least in eff
feet. St Louis and other cities have had
societies. but they have not been OF as
broad influence as state society. Mis-
souri, comes to Kansas to learn and Kan
sas has an admirable institution to pat
tern after.

REJECT WoMAN sUFFRAGE.
q. p. General Assembly Will Have
Nothing to Do With It

Des~ Adoines, Ia, May 27.-This morn
ing the United Presbyterian general
assembly placed its seal upon the ques-
ton of approving woman's suffrage by
form ally accepting the report of the
judiciary committee, which was to the
effect that the question was purely
civic one and therefore not one that
properly can come before an ecclesias-
teal legislative body.
The assembly also adopted the rec
onmendation of the committee calling
for the reinstatement of the Rev. J. n.
Kyle, of Delaware, on the basis of re-
pentance.
Five thousand dollars was appropri-
ated for the establishment of a mission
at Dolaib Hal, Soudan. Steps were or
dered to be taken for the establishment
of colleges at Asyut, Egypt, and Cor
don, India
Ten thousand dollars was appropri-
ated for ministerial relief, the maxi
mum annuity being fixed at $3.50.
one hundred thousand dollars was
appropriated for home missions, an in
crease over that Of last year.

Prohibitionists tire First to File Their
Party Emblem.

The Prohibition party filed its official
ballot emblem with Secretary Of state
Clark this morning. Mont Williams Of
Leavenworth secretary of the state com

Around the design of a morning sun rs

the circle are the w~rds: THE Rising

the design appears the sentence: THE
Day is Dawning.'
The Prohibitionists are the first to fl e
their selected emblem The Populists have
chosen the home" An eagle will be the
Republican emblem. The Democrats have
not vet chosen, but it is probable a
rooster will be selected
The law provides that the chairman Of
each party shall file his party emblem
within 80 days after the law goes into
effect It was published May J. and
there are only a few days left in which
the remaining chairmen may comply. The
Democrats, especially. will have to hurry

AIDA AND HEB LIONS.
She Said She Was in Danger But the
Audience Didn't Didn't Believe It


Afdga and her lions were the attrac-
ton at the Garfield park Casino yester-
day as a side line to the usual Mar
shall's band concert.
Aidga is a Spaniard. She looks the
part and she talks it She stood in the
ticket box out in front and sold the
tickets and her one assistant stood at
the door and took them in. Aldga COM
menced selling tickets at 10 cents Dy
O'Clock, and she kept on selling them
until o'clock. She could not leave the
box office to make the lions perform as
long as she was taking in the money.
Now and then her first assistant would
go back to the cage in full view OF the
audience and poke up the 'varmlnts.
He had a long stove poker and he
gabbed them with it and made them
Jump around just like the pictures OF
the ferOcious beasts in the jungles. The
minute he left they would go right to
sleep again. So when Aidga got through
selling tickets she went back and polSed
up the animals again, and told the peo-
pie that she was about to risk her life
by entering the den of lions. They were
as quiet and peaceful as bunch OF
family cats. But they were lions, and
although they did carry themselves
with quiet demeanor it is more than
likely that no one in the audience would
have ventured in the cage. Afdga made
them lie down, roll over, jump. and play
dead. All the time she was beating a
tatto on the bars Of the cage with an
old broomstick and beating the lions
with a whip. She and her lions went to

Father Nugent.

The last of the lecture course
under the auspices of the Business
Mems League was given last Mon
day night when Father Nugent
gave his lecture. The night was
black and stormy and the crowd
was not as large as had been antici-
pated, even if all the seats had been
sold before. The lecture, however,
was a masterpiece of eloquence and
learning. The strong personality of
the man was felt when he first step
ped out and the magnetism OF the
orator was shown all the way
through. He went back into the
dim and smoky twilight of the past
and with a wonderfully pleasing,
aptness brought forth the stored
treasures of ancient cities and times
and compared them with our own.
Held UP the philosophers of those
times and traced them to these
times. Gave differences of civiliza-
ton of them and and drew word
pictures that held all in breathless
silence until he had finished. In all
it was all that could be desired and
the anticipated pleasure was more
than fulfilled. The work of the
League has been a success. They
have given to the people a winters
entertainment and all have been
benefited. Next year we cannot do
without one. The taste left from
this is so good we want more, and
we will no doubt get it.

The grasses are all in excellent

to be about as early as usual. The
