From Wednesdays Daily.


DIR. j. M Driver, formerly OF Man
kato, delivered warning to the work
ing men in his Sunday sermon at the
Peoples church in Chicago.
"Who or what is the workingman's
greatest foe?" asked Or. John Merritte
Driver at the Peoples ei,+sfeh- Yesterday
morning. Not the trust, nor the pluto
crat, nor the Illegal combination in re-
straipt of trade" he continued, answer
ing his question, but himself"
"This is no easy thing to say. 1t runs
counter TO popularity. UnpopulaIity,
even for holy cause, is painful. Demo
cracy demands coddling. Democracy in
the raw Is mob and is dangerous.
Democracy in ou1 cities is largely yet
in the raw. Press and politicians are
busy. with few notable exceptions, adj
mimstering 10 this raw democracy sub

corporate greed and the money octo-
pus' The workingman, with work ex-
eeptionally plentiful, with wages excep-
tionally high, with only eight OF nine
hours per day required and double pay
for overtime. are made to believe that
they are desperately abused and in con-
slant peril OF being utterly destroyed by
thcheartless dcvh fish of organized CAPT
tai. All such teaching is frightfully per
nioious and profoundly perilous. On the.
contrary, propose to show ~ this ser,
mon that the workingman himself is his
own most dangerous and deadhest foe"
Then Driver discussed the disastrous
trend among workjngmen toward uni
versal execration, political demagagy, the
extravaganza and improvidence of the
deTehcts OF fortune, the clandestine sup
port of the omnipresent scarlet woman,
the widespread mania for gambling and
get-rieh-quick devices and the working

Pekin, April 1.-THE report received

States in increasing her Asiatic squad

ports on the situation in China" ex-
cities surprise in Pekin. Such re-
ports were not sent by the United
States or British legations, which pos.

situation in China. The only disturb
ances considered serious are those in
the Kwang ST province, the southern
province of China, bordering Tonkin,
where 100000 rebels are said to be
under arms, which were not directed
against foreigners. The last reports
regarding General Tuhah Slang, the
Boxer leader, and Prince Tuan, the
exiled antiforeigner, who are at the
head of the insurgent forces in the
northwestern province of Kansu, are
reassuring. The government claims
to have come to an understanding
with them whereby they are to agree
to refrain from hostilities.- 1t is be-
lieved that the government is supply
ing them WIN FUNDS on cOndltlOn
that they remain quiet.
The officials promise the foreign
ministers that the indemnity bonds
will soon be signed The officials ap-
parently have concluded that it will be
impossible to obtain any concession
in the terms of the indemnity until
that fOrmality is fulfilled.
The dOwager empress and the court
started today on their journey to the
western tombs. They will be absent
from Pekin Is days.
Other trains will carry most of the
high officials in Pekin and the courts

cubines. Business traffic on the rail
roads entering Pekin will be practical
ly suspended for several days. The
masses regard the pilgrimage with as
tonished disapproval and predict that
heaven will send disaster.
The United States consul at Canton
telegraphs that the famine in Kwang
ST province, resulting from the re-
belliOn there, is serious. Thousands
will die unless assistance is forthcom-
ing. He recommends that relief con-
tributions be started abroad.

WHEN ROOSEVELT is THERE.
Yosemite Valley Will Be a Blaze Of
GIorv

San Francisco, April THE Yo-
semitic valley commission will make
the visit of President Roosevelt to the
famous valley a memorable one. He
will be given a salute by battery OF
dynamite cartridges, the effect of
which will exceed anything the presi-
dent has ever heard in his war ex-
periences. The walls of the valley
are 5000 feet sheer and the report Of
a toy pistol within them reverbrates
up and down and around the valley,
sounding like a series of volleys by
heavy artillery. The explosion of a
battery of dynamite cartridges is ex-
pected to produce most extraordinary
results.
Chris Jorgensen the artist, has no.
titled the commissioners that he will
place his cottage, the most beautiful
and commodious in the valley, at the
disposal of the president during the
latter's stay
An enormous bonfire will be built
on the overhanging rock of Glacier
point, the dimensions of the illumina.
ton being only limited by the surface
area of the rock. The great mass of
fire will be thrown over the side of
the projecting rock to the bottom OF
the valley, 5000 feet below, and the
presidential party will witness a
streak of fire such as few have ever
had an opportunity to see. Other ap-
propriate spectacular effects are be-
ing prepared for the presidential visit.
