1T LOOKS LIKE WAR.

For the nrSt time In many weeks the
war cloud over the far East threatens
rain. Last week when England and Rus
STA were shaking their mailed fists at
each other, no one expected a conflict.
England is not prepared for
such campaign as break
with Russia would entail, so the bluff of
the Muscovite was not called. The case
now is different; the cloud is hanging
over Korea and there is much thunder
with every indication of brisk kut brief
storm, in which there will be a fright
smart" hail of lead and iron
The interference of Russia at the close
of the Carbohydrates war to prevent the
Japs from occupying Korea is an old
story. SO too, is the story of the at
tempt on the part of Russia a few years
later to remove Brown, the Korean SUI
perintendent of customs, by dispatching
TO the hermit kingdom a St. Petersburg
favorite with a peremptory order from
the ear to the king, to remove Brown
and place the Russian in the place.
Brown refused to be officially beheaded
in that manner and cabled to London.
The upshot was a protest from Great
Britain and the dispatch of a couple of
warships to the scene of action. Brown
remained That was before the outbreak
OF the Boer war, when the lion had his
claws free. Within the last ten days
Brown has been removed, but little
thing like that does not disturb Great
Britain, now Although Britain is
handicapped in the present contest there
IS a nation that is not so unfortunate-a
nation which has good reasons to hate
the Russian bear with a consuming ha
cred. That nation is Japan For the
past five Years those pIucky fellows have
been dreaming of a time when they could
get even with the burly autocrat of Eu-
rasia, and that time has come. Japan
IS Well equipped and ready for war. Her
army numbers 100000 well drilled soldiers,
the best fighters in the world. Her navy
is amply able to back the land force
against any nation but England Added
to this preparedness for war is the fact
that Russia is in a way absolutely open
to attack from Japan.
All the available troops in case of a
war with Japan are now in China. Be-
fore the Muscovites can mobolize their
army or get a sufficient fleet in the Pa
cific to meet Japan, the latter will have
struck and struck hard. The Russian
fleet in the East will go the way of the
Spanish feet in Manila bay. Russian in
terests in the East will be at the mercy
OF the Japanese army Such war will
end in the occupation and annexation OF
Korea by Japan unless the powers inter
fere and that is not likely as Korea is
no part OF China in the strict sense of the
term.
Should this break occur between Rus
STA and Japan, the Marchurian difficulty
Will be solved without the powers taking
action. Japan will act as reagent and
settle the difficulty.
What influence the internal disturb
ances in Russia will have on the general
policy of the government can not be out
lined at this time. The death of the car
might change the entire programme but
that is doubtful-Russia would remain
Russia no matter who bears the title of
car

A WELCOME DEATH.

The members of the state senate who
voted to kill that legislative abortion
and absurdity, the anti-cigarette BILL de .
serve well of their respective constttu-
ents and of the entire people of the state.
The methods rescrted to by the author
of the measure showed his ignorance of
men and their feelings quite as effective
1y as the measure he championed showed
his ignorance Of the fundamental re-
quirements Of rational legislation.
The state is now happily saved the ex-
hibition of stupidity on the part of it's
lawmakers which would be made neces-
sary by any attempt to enforce the provi-
sions of the proposed law. We have had
all sorts of fool legislation enacted at
intervals within the past fifteen or TWEEN
ty years which the courts have been COM
nlonest requirements of the constitution.
1t is gratifying to think, since there was
so narrow an escape from its enactment,
that this bill has met a just fate 1t
would involve litigation, if it were not
suffered to become a dead letter. And if
it were made to become imperative from
lack Of enforcement it would remain on
the statute books an insult to the intell1-
gence of the mass OF the people of the
state.
Senator Halvorson it is who sought to
force this n,ea sura nnop fIa stat,lto
books. It is the irony OF events which
made it necessary that the same gentle
man should have compassed its defeat in
SO entirely workmanlike a manner, even
though in doing SO he was entirely un-
conscious of the service he rendered.

Inc powers protested against China
signing the Manchuria agreement with
Russia. Then China inquired of the pow

she refused to sign the agreement and

by Russia. The answer of the powers
seems to have been that they would not.
Nevertheless, China has refused to sign

SCORN OF ANARCHY.
Divine Derision the Text of Rev. DR..
Luccock,s Sermon,

The Rev G. N Luccock, d. D., pastor
of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church.
Fourth and y Streets southeast, preached
yesterday morning on ''Divine Derisfon of
Anarchy taking his text from Psalm
ii:4: 'The Lord shall hold them in ders-
ion."
Dr. LuccOck said in part: 'The Presi-
dents attitude upon receiving the assas-
sins bullet was one of scorn, no eXcla-
nation of hate, fear. or pain escaped him.
From the altitude of his lofty personality
he looked down in contempt upon the one
who sought to kill his body. Such scorn
OF anarchy is the attitude of the God in
whom Mckinley trusted and is born of
a realization of the utter ineffectu-
ality of anarchy when opposed to the di-
vine law.
THAT man who has high purpose and
an exalted mission will always lay him
self open to attacks, because he will
scorn danger
Anarchy is doomed because it is in
its last analysis a revolt against the in
finite. No Government is perfect, but
most Governments are progressing, be-
cause the power of God is working in and
through them and the general direction
of their progress is toward the right.

and the bad, but says, government is

government is wrong. say the anarchists,
therefore let us destroy all government.
"On the whole the general movement of
the world is upward. because behind this
movement is the Infinite Presence, and
anarchy is as helpless against that as the
snake upon whose head the Son of Man
sets his foot. 1t is a miserable failure

discourse last night, discussed the life

Light" the favorite hymns of President
Mckinley were sung.
Dr. Muir took for his text: Know ye
not that there is a prince and a great man

William Mckinley was great man."
said Dr. Muir. the foremost man of his
generation. beloved by millions of his
countrymen who now mourn with sin
cere sorrow his untimely loss. Though
Mortified at the method of his removal.
we would reverently bow before the
event, and listen to his own interpreta-
ton of It. which helps, in part. to solve
its mystery. IT is Gods way His will
not ours be done
His place in history we cannot proper
ly determine The perspective does not
allow US conceptions of proportion and
influence. AS was said OF Lincoln we
say of him, He belongs to the ages. We
believe they will give him eminence We
tarry by his bier, and seek to gain some
practical lessons from his career, such
as will be of benefit to the humblest
American citizen and worthy of each
man s realiZationS.
They who scoff at religion have reason
To learn from the great man who has left
us, that to be a Christian is to be the
highest type of man.
I'VE would summon the American peo-
pie to the Milburn house at Buffalo, and
say to them as they gaze on the last con-
scious moments of President Mckinley
See how a Christian can die Listen to
his words AS he fronts the Inevitable
how calm and comfortable they are 1t
Is Gods way, his will not ours be done
and in the hush OF the moment as we
think of the morrow, its duties and
trials. its temptations and difficulties.

out with him our deepest longings in the
aspiration, Nearer, My God, to Thee"
