Russia's Great Feat.

The most interesting portion of Rus
sias great 1000 mile railway is the
steam ferry across Lake Baikal, i'll Cen
trail Siberia The lake has an extent OF
more than 10000 square miles and is
more than twice as wide as the English
channel at Dover. In places it is as deep
as + 500 feet, and parts OF it have never
been plumbed. 1t is surrounded by some
of the hardest mountains which rail-
road engineer could encounter. The otfi-
cial plan of the Trans-Sberian railroad
includes railway around the southern
end OF the lake to connect the two lake
shore terminals but the enormous diff
Guilty and the expense which is import
ant matter to Russia at the present time
of constructing such line conspire to in
definitely postpone it's completion. To
link the two ends with the steam ferry
which would be able to break through the
ice which covers the lake from the middle
of December to May was doubtless sug-
gested by the excellent work of the Yer
max ice breaker in the Baltic. Sir William
Armstrong Whitworth Co. OF Newcas site
were the contractors of the Yermak and
to the order Of the Russian government
they constructed a second and larger ice
breaker which was christened the Baikal
The Baikal has three lines of rails upor

her main deck to carry one passenger and
two goods trains across the lake. The
trains enter the ice breaker at the bow,
which is run up against pier. Therails
are connected and the trains run into the
vessel. With this load she will crush her
way through three feet of ice at
speed of 13 knots an hour. A screw at
the bow with a separate engine sucks
away the water from underneath the ice
at the bow which thus splits from its
own weight; the two stubby-bladed pro
pellers at the stern at the same time force
the vessel through the broken ice sheet.
The actual track Of the Baikal measures
80 miles London Sphere.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
The army that recognizes God as it's
head will have nothing to boast for it
self, no power, no former victories; but
placing all confidence in him, will give
God the glory for all triumphs. 1.-The
name of the God of Jacob defend thee"
When we are sure that we are serving
and fighting for him, we may know
positively that we war not alone. God
will prosper his cause and strengthen his
warriors. Now know that the Lord
saveth his anointed."
SELECTIONS.
Yet, Lord, there is a warfare
No eyes but thine may see;
o hear my cry for succor,
Come thou and fight for me.
The self l cannot conquer
That will that still is mine,
o take them both, Lord Jesus,
And make them with thine
The Captain of our salvation single
| handed overcame our worst enemy, so
that we may fight against vanquished
foe with the help of the one that con-
quered him, and with the certainty that
the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under our feet. The triumph that none
could gain alone is freely offered to all
that in faith and obedience go forward
trusting to the Savior's strength.
1t has been happily said that there is
armor for every part OF the Christian
except his back. No provision is made
for the cowardly disciple that is fleeing
from the enemy. Our weapons have at
the same time told us of our allies, for
they are all OF God the Father and God
the Son and God the Holy Spirit, to
whom for strength and grace to use the
armor in every struggle we must pray
with all prayer and supplcation, watch
ing thereunto with all perseverance.

AN AMENDMENT.

Apropos to the Philippines problem,
the Cincinnati Enquirer asks. is it
too late to mend? Is it too late to
abandon the British colonial system?
Our arms are vindicated. Is it too late
to do justice to the people of Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands?
Would it not be a greater thing to give
these countries liberty than to own
them"
The Register moves to amend by
adding the further query: Why not
expand our territory in truly Ameri-
can fashion and in accordance with our
time honored policy and our laws, af-
ter abandoning the British colonial
system and getting rid of the Philip
pines, by annexing Cuba and, maybe,
Canada-both geographically ours?
Either or both would add to our
national wealth and strength while the
Philippines can never be anything but
al expensive white elephant on our
hands.

Complications.

DENVER, August 29.-News has
reached here that mob has burned
the remaining buildings belonging to
VIM. Radcliffe at Grand Mesa Lakes.
It was the burning of the hotel at this
place recently by mob that caused
Mr.. Radcliffe to call on Gov. Orman
for troops to protect his property and
also caused the report that Radcliffe
had appealed TO the British government
for its protection, claiming to be sub
ject of Great Britain. The trouble, it
is said, began when one Of Mr.. Rad
eliffes guards killed a ranchman In a
controversy over the right to fish in the
lakes. Since then all the buildings on
Radcliffes place, including the fish
hatchery, have been destroyed by the
mobs.

Four south American Republics Are
on the Verge of War-Hunger and
DesOlatiOn.
NEW YORK, August pa despatch
to the Herald from Panama, Colombia
says: Plots and counter plots fill the
air. There is war here of the most
hideous kind, and strife that tears the
country asunder, in which brother is
pitted against brother, friend against
friend, and neighbor against neighbor.
Fertile fields have been devastated.
Once thriving towns have been deci-
mated in population and villages have
been wiped out of existence. Bands of
armed men occupy every highway and
traffic is practically at a standstill,
while frantic women mourn their dead
and hungry babes clamor for food.
The entire republic is seething caul-
dron of unrest. So critical is the stu
alton that even the officials Of the gov
eminent who wish to re-establish pub
lie confidence admit that the crisis
must be reached within few days, as
matters cannot long continue as they
are. Great battles must soon be fought
and upon the results will depend not
alone the supremacy of the chasing par
ties in Colombia, but also, perhaps, the
integrity of the territory OF three
neighboring republics-Venezuela, ECU
ador ana Nicaragua.
Feeling runs high along the borders,
and a general war may be precipitated
at any moment by any trivial incident.
The revolution has resolved itself, after
lasting nearly two years, into an inter-
national struggle between the Liberals
and the Conservatives of four sister re-
nublics. allied in their history, con-
tiguous in territory, kindred by Gil
mate, by race and by tongue.

ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS.

An additional reason why the fail
ure of the corn crop in the United
States is unfortunate is that at this
particular juncture when Northwest
ern Europe is drouth stricken and ex-
poets this country to come to its relief
with grain an excellent opportunity is
presented to give tremendous impe-
tus to the campaign on behalf Of Amer
lean corn which Uncle Sam has recent
ly been conducting on large scale IN
European countries.
Now is the time when this cheap,
nutritious and palatable cereal would
would make its strongest appeal to
Europe Yet as bad luck will have it,
our exports of this golden grain, usu-
ally so abundant, will this year prac-
tically cease. Wheat, of which the
United States has plenty and to spare,
will be the only breadstuff exported in
any quantity.
1t will be serious backset to a corn
trade that had been industriously fos-
tered American corn exports last
year were greater than ever before. 1t
had been practically demonstrated to
European peasants that the cheap
American cereal could be made into
many of the most inviting dishes and
American cookery was gradually COM
ing into vogue in the old world. The
hoe-caEe and corn-pone were making
strides in European favor.
There must be a sudden stoppage of
this campaign now, just when this
cheap food would make its strongest
appeal for popularity. 1t is estimated
exports of corn will fall far below any
period of the last ten years. In its
place, the 800, 900 600 bushels of surplus
wheat will probably make the exports
of that breadstuff larger than during
any previous year. The deficiency of
26S, 100000 bushels in Europe will be
more than made up from this country
alone. The United States command
the international crop. Even Egypt
and India will be unable to affect
prices, all their crops being needed for
home use.
1t is an unfortunate situation all
around, not only for Americans who
have patiently built up export trade in
corn but for the Europeans, who have
thereby acquired a taste for the tooth
some corn-cake whose usual cheapness
would make it especially attractive in
Grouth stricken Europe.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 29.-Con-
gresham Hull, of Iowa, chairman OF
the House committee on military af-
airs. who has arrived here on the trans
port Hancock. from a five months tour
Of China, Japan and the Philippines, Is
deeply impressed with the possibilities
of the new American possessions in
the Orient. He says:
IF | were young man | don't know
where l should rather go than to the
Philippines. For a man of brains and
industry the islands open a vast pros
pect in almost every line Of business
for one who has the grit to go there
and stick to it.
THE mineral, agricultural and tim
Der resources of these islands consti-
tute a field for commercial enterprise
that is practically unlimited. OF course
the present conditions of brigandage
make it exceedingly unsafe for people
to settle in the islands away from the
protection of the military posts. But
the people, or the great majority de-
sire peace, and safety and are doing all
they can to help the troops attain this
end.
"Of course, it is impossible to make
an anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental.
Therefore, the Filipino probably never
will be an American citizen in the
broad sense that is understood by all

the United States of white parentage

ucation and becomes little more i'm

ism, industry and education and will be
worthy of participating to the fullest

ment.

them with frmness as we'll as with
kindness. l think 10000 soldiers
