S1Any NODAcS ana FrOmAnenr FeOpAe Protest Against Encroachment Of
 the Czar's Troops In the
 Chinese Empire.
 YOKOHAMA, July 2-An ominous Russian activity in Manchuria. A re- view of the leading papers indicates a common resentment at the Russian at- aitude, which seems to be of a deeper and more ominous character than ever before.
 The Japanese Gazette says that the patience of the press is exhausted, and another paper tells of a petition having been presented to the Japanese cabinet stating reasons why it is advisable that Japan should go to war with Russia. The petition, it is said, is signed by many nobles and large number of prominent persons. The Anglo-Japa- nese alliance and the resolutely patri- otic spirit of the Japanese in connec- tion with internal affairs are the sub jects for a lengthy editorial of another prominent Yokohama paper
 The Niroku prints a significant art- cle, in which it says: I've know that Russia is persuading the United States to turn her back on the Anglo-Japanese alliance. We know also that it is al- most certain that England will not draw her sword in order to settle the eastern question. Whatever disadvan- tages Japan may encounter she, and she alone, will be compelled to push it to the last argument"

At Lorimer hall, fremont temple,

ing of the Congregational club, Leon
H. Vincent spoke on Kings CT the
Colonial Pulpit" giving a history of
the Mather family and their habits.
He said the Puritans were always
craving for learning and wisdom, and
America than they began making
books. The continual studio,lsness
OF the Puritans, said Mr.. Vincent. is
what makes New England to-day the
great hive of books and authors. Be-
sides studying the Puritans spent
their spare time in prosecuting here
tics and drinking strong drinks, but
the only habit of the three that has
chung to their descendants is that OF
reading.
h sermons were long-winded, and
in an hour the minister usually only
got started: An old record says:
Mr.. locker preached two hours and
seventeen minutes while not feeling
well. How long he would have talk
eG If he was in good health! A Har.
ward student wrote of a minister thai
preached to the Students: He
preached W hours, and much to our
regret. he had to stop" The people
paid to hear sermons on the tacit
condition that the preacher would
speak a certain length of time. The
audience would look at the s~andglass
to see that they got their moneys
worth.
