PEACE WITH HONOR.
Japan Hopes for Amicable Settle
 ment With Russia.

London, Aug. Safeguarding the pro- posals for a modus vivendi in the far East submitted by the Japanese Minis ter at St. Petersburg, which contem- plated formal declaration and recog- milton of the respective rights of Russia and Japan in Manchuria and Corea, Ba- ron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister here. said today that he must decline to dis cuss the pending negotiations, but he expressed the most hopeful view of an honorable and amicable settlement of the differences between the two countries.
 Tt is the belief" said Baron Hoyashi. that any small causes of friction with Russia will be ultimately settled. In the matter of Corea 1t cannot be too clearly stated that Japan does not seek anything fresh there. We have interests in Corea which we shall naturally main tain, but do not see any serious cause for trouble either in regard to Corea or Manchuria Russia has promised the United States to evacuate Manchurla in October and there is no room to doubt that she will do so.
 At the same time regret was express ed by other members of the Japanese diplomatic corps at the promotion of M. Witte the Russian Finance Minister, to be President of the Council of Ministers, which the Japanese regard as being a victory for the Russian war party.
 The Japanese fear that M. Witte's re- moval from the Finance Ministry may re- tard the progress of the far western ne- g0tiatiOnS."

SHEET METAL WORKERS.
Non Union Mills Are Producing Most
 of the Output.

Pittsburg. Aug. 31.-The result of the convention to-day of the sheet mill lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers will probably bring about a decision that the men work turns of six hours each, instead of eight as at present. and that the limit of out put be the same for two each turn A vote will be taken tomorrow on the matter.
 The convention met to-day with 20 del- egates from as many lodges The union mills are nearly all idle. while the non- union mills are working. The manufac- turers say that with a restriction on the output the cost of production is greater than with the limit removed. For this reason the non union mills have an ad- vantage of the union mills and are turn ing out nearly all the sheet steel that is being manufactured
 The question of opening up all the non union mills was not discussed at to-day s meeting.

6mart Sot.
 New York, Aug. s.-In . sermon at the Church of Epiphany. on 'sThs Sins and Follies of Fashion," the Rev. Dean Richmond Rabbit has made an appeal Tor Christian earnestness and dignity as corrective to the abuses of fashion in various circles of society and criticised severely many of the reported doings or the so-called Smart Set" in America.
 am more and more convinced" he said. that we of the clergy must preach clearly. pointedly, as forcefully as pos sible, to the sins and follies of the times, dwell less on the exodus of the Israeli ites from Egypt and more on the exodus of Christian virtues from American life.
 Each one of us is the keeper of Chris tial morality and public opinion to the extent of our social abilities and inf1u- ence and it Is just as necessary for each Of us to carry out reforms In ourselves and neighbors, if possible. as 1t would be to reform the entire nation. which Is impossible.
 There are as many ways to look at the selfish. wastefuf. fndecorous. baleful and often inane class of the so-called smart set who seem to make a crusade to get their peculiar social antics in the newspapers. as there are for enthusiasts to impale butterflies for exhibition in . museum. The senseless class in the pub nc lmitate tHeni, tne soper, tnlnklnS ciaSS have a pitying contempt for them: the earnest Christian blush for them; the pa- triotic American abhors them, and the genuind aristocracy of America and Eu- rope laughs at them. Their example is pestilent to democratic America: their an- tics violation of all normal sanity; their moral standard reprehensible at the bar of Christian morals. their lives, with all their false glitter and brilliant frippery are a personal degradation to themselves and make rapid descent on the Aver nus of the senses where lie buried all the best and choicest of human aspirations"

CONGRESS OF AcTUARIEs.
Secretary Cortelyou Opens Convention
 in New York,

New York. Aug. 3.-The fourth inter national congress of actuaries met in thfs city to-day. The delegates include men from several foreign countries. Secretary of Commerce and Labor George B. Cortel- you. who is an honorary member. was delegated by the president to open the session and delivered an address. The ses- sion will continue for the week.
 The afternoon session began with a dis cussion of three papers on the general subject of war mortality, the first by Frederick Schooling. honorary secretary of the institute of actuaries. London. Sn War risks with special reference to the war in South Africa, 1S99- -1902'
 The second, by Kotaro Schida. delegate of the Imperial Japanese government, To- kio. on "The risk rate of the late Chino Japanese war;" and the third by Robert G. Ham, assistant actuary of the Equi- table Life Assurance Society. on War mortality in the United States
 The afternoon program also included a discussion of papers on mortality in India and other tropical countries, in Japan and among non-Caucassian races.
 The subject of the mornig discussion, Improvement in longevity" was again taken up in the afternoon. MT. Charl- ton T. Lewis said there were three gen. eral reasons for the improvement in longevity-the better care that children receive in the present day: the vast inn provement in handling epidemics, espe- cially progressive. in the last few years; and the vast improvement in medical and surgical science.
 We find.' he said. that the mortality in particular diseases has decreased very greatly in the last forty years.
 These influences are all alike in this respect, that all represent, not an in- crease in the vitality of the strong. but a diminution of mortality among the weak.
 The number of weddings today Is therefore greater and the result is degra- dation of the mass in the average"
 +. l.. Hoffman of Newark University lectured on actuarial subjects, said in part:
 When we are told by a Secretary of War that the mortality in Cuba is not more than that in the city of New York, 1t does not require much acturial knowl- edge to cause one to smile and to know that 1t is nonsense"
 He also declared the statement that the death rate of the city of Havana Is no greater than that of Washington to be untrue. For some time to come, the death rate of Havana will be from 50 ta 100 per cent greater than any Northern city.
 The papers on Mortality Among Nom Causian Races were taken up for discus sion. The Congress then adjourned un- til tomorrow morning.
