CRUSH JAps QUICK.


london, Oct. 2s.--Special dispatches
from ST. Petersburg report growing
ill-feeling In Russia against both Eng
land and the United States, in conse-
quence of the supposed sympathy Of
these countries for Japan. This feel
ing finds expression in the Novoe Vre-
mya, which, in commenting on the de-
cision of the Alaska boundary tribunal
says il hopes that Canada will now
sever the ties connecting it with Great
Britain.
The Vrikina maintains bellicose at
titude, expressing the opinion that
neither Great Britain nor the United
States will interfere and Russia was
better prepared for war. This paper
urges that Japan had better be crushed
without delay.

Overcame Great Difficulties.

After contrasting the differences in
the early lives of Washington and JEFF
fersOn with that of Lincoln, in order
to show the great obstacles which the
latter Overcame, the speaker proceed
ed to explain how Webster, Clay, and
Calhoun were unequal to solving the
problem which confronted the nation
in dealing with the slavery question
and how it remained for Chief JUS
tice Tawney's decision in the Dred
Scott case, which was supported by
Stephen A. Douglass, to bring Douglas
and Lincoln together, in a memorable
debate. The sentiment of LincOln's
that "a nation cannot exist half slave

ferson. He related vividIy the Incl
dentS bearing on the ASSASSINATION of
the President and the grief which it
brought to the nation. His main talk
was to prove that he emancipation of
the slaves by President Lincoln and
the adoption of the thirteenth, four
teenth, and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution was not failures. The
thirteenth and the fourteenth amend
mentS were enacted, he said, because
the Southern states tried after the war
to reduce the Negroes to slavery by
passing the vagrant laws.
Race Grappled with Problems.
Once, however, the slaves were freed
the race began to grapple with the
problem before them. He cited fig
ureS to show that while in 1890 81
per cent. of the race was illiterate, yet
in 1900 the percentatge was but At.
He said the people were fighting
against heavy odds, but pointed out
how they had developed in the last
forty years, saying that a comparison
of the condition of the Negro in 1868
with that of 1903 would show that no
