in a Humaae Manner.
PEOPLE ARE NOW TRANQUIL

General l.. dArtamonof. the Russian
army officer. who has been engaged I'm the
campaign in Manchuria, has arrived I'm
Washington. He is not here on any diplo-
matte mission. He reported improved con-
ditions in Manchuria. He had exceptional
opportunities for studying the conditions
there, both during and subsequent TO the
campaign against the Chinese armies and
he talks in an interesting manner OF the
results which have been accomplished and
of the improved state of affairs which.
he says. now exist. He was chief of staff
OF the army operating in southern Man
churia, and in direct charge of the famous
Cossacks. about whom much has been pub
lished.
Conditions Much Improved
Speaking generally of affairs in Manchuria
General d'Artamonoff said through an in
terpreter: There has been a marked i'm
provement In the condition of things I'm
Manchuria, and the country is now paci-
fed again after the campaign of the past
year. Commerce is being revived, naviga-
ton has been resumed. the people are
again at work on their farms and the ma
tiyes are being paid handsomely for their
work on the great transcontinental rail-
road The Russian army is being gradually
reduced, those soldiers coming from Rus
Sia being sent back home by the WAY Of
Odessa, and otherwise the imperial
forces are being lessened. In view of this
fact, how ridiculous and absurd the state
ments that have been published that Russia
has improper designs on that country The
military operations conducted by the Rus
slams Were not against the people of Man
churia, but were directed toward the sub
lection of the Chinese army, which had
been sent there. While you heard In the
newspapers OF many small engagements In
South Africa, in which the casualties were
very few, there We're contests of consider
able magnitude between the Russians and
the Chinese about which little or nothing
was heard in the outside world.
The People Tranquil.
Our treatment of the people was most
friendly and humane. In this regard we
were simply carrying out the absolute or
ders of the imperial authorities both OF
the czar and the ecommander-in-chiefpf of the
military and naval forces. Admiral Alexief
There is vast difference between the con-
ditionS existing in Manchuria and in the
province of Pcchilf, In which PekIn is sit
uated. In the former the people tran
quill and the country is prospecting willie
In the latter the conditions I'm many re-
spects are the reverse.
Il want to say just q word about the
Cossacks. about whom so many stories of
horrible cruelty and butchery have been
printed. These statements do the Rus
slams great injustice. as there is ahso-
lutely no foundation for them. The opera
tions of the Russian troops were not
against the natives, but We're directed
against the Chinese armies. and our course
throughout was in keeping with the impe-
rial orders, to be humane"

Thoroughly Enjoyed Himself With
the Students at Bonn.
WAS DIRECTOR OF THE CEREMONIES
Humorous Incidents Occur During
the Interesting Affair.
VISIT TO HIS MOTHER

LONDON, April 27.-All accounts agree
that Emperor William thoroughly enjoyed
himself at Bonn, and among the students
of his old corps he became student again.
The emperor wore the white cap, and
across his breast the black and white rib
bon of the Borussir corps.
His majesty himself took command at
the symposium. issued orders in a firm
tone and led off the so-called saamanders,
the thunderous rafting of beer mugs on
the table, when the leading toast was pre-
posed. He also Joined heartily, with a loud
voice, in singing students songs, bringing
down the fiat of his rapier in the orthodox
fashion with crash the table at the
end of each verse. The proceedings reach
ed climax when his majesty called for
that grandest of German student songs,
'Iandesvater" C'Father of the Country. }.
At one of the verses, in which the students
swear to live or die for king and country,
each man crosses his rapier with that of
the man opposite him. and caps are taken
off and spitted on the rapier points, the
youthful crown prince crossed rapiers with
the aged General Won Loe, himself an old
BOruSSir
Salamander for Herr Lauff.
At another part of the proceedings in
which the emperor, with great pleasure.
was calling up the former corps students 8,
some Of them aged men, so that their health
might be drunk in the order of the years
when they studied, the emperor called for
a salamander for a blind old lawyer. Herr
Lauff, father of the dramatist Josef Lauff
who annually, under his majesty's direc-
tions, produces a new historical drama at
Wiesbaden illustrating the achievements of
the house of Hohenzollern. Later, joined by
the students he called out. Our Youngest
Fox" the slang nickname of the youngest
student. The emperor laughed heartily and
clapping the crown prince on the shoulder,
said:
DO you understand that he means your?
There was another humorous incident
when one of the veterans. in reply to the
toast to the men of his year. drank to the
canal bin and expressed the hope that the
old fellows Of Berlin might at last realize
that the canal must be built. The emperor
lay back in his chair and laughed loud and
long.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
The prize that is held before the Chris
tian is we'll worth the greatest setde-
NAL it may cost HIM We are willing to
labor and sacrifice for little earthly
glory; how foolish and unreasonable to
refuse such sacrifice for the incorruptibe
crown, the glory that tadeth not away,
but is eternal in he heavens.
The stlfdeniaI that is IT quired of us is

harmful thin IS in our nature, 1.-THE

and most beautiful thi gs man can pos

surely will give!
The will OF God is a path leading
straight to God. The will OF man,
which once ran parallel with it, is now
another path, not only different rom,
out, in our present state, directly con-
trary to It; it leads from God. Ii, there
fore, we wolk in the one. we must neces-
sarily quit the other We cannot walk
in both We must now choose the one
or the other; denying Gods will to fol-
low our own, or denying ourselves to fol
low the will OF God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect
mod OF selt-denial, tor he never refused
TO sacrifice mere taste or liking for The
sake of spiritual good, whether of himself
or Others; and therein ''he has left us an
example, that we should follow his
