The Methodist church has lost with
in few days two of its most distin-
guished men. Bishop r. S. Foster, who
died at Newton, Mass. was long re-
garded as the foremost theologian in
the house of bishops. His discussions
of theological subjects were marked
by unusual depth and penetration of
thought. Bishop John F. Hurst, who
died in Washington, was of another
type. He represented the organizing
and administrative capacity of the
church. and was the chief mover in the
project for the Methodist university at
Washington.

1T is not pleasant, and yet not sur
prising, to learn that the original copy
of the declaration of independence in
the custody of the state department at
Washington, has faded until only one
or two of the signatures can be made
out. Even the bold one of John Han
cock is illegible. The text also is fad
ing. The sacred relic has long been
one of the objects of interest at the
capital, and, although it possesses only
sentimental value, its loss will be much
deplored

Peking, May 1.-THE Russian troops

of the Lao river have been withdrawn.
This information was received from
the. official at New Chwang. who sent
Fridays news of Russias action at
New Chwang and elsewhere in Man

Their subordinates at New Chwang
have not reported the reoccupation of

ton to question the correctness of the
information if the author of Fridays
story were not considered one of the
ablest and best-informed foreigners in
China.
Confirmation Is Received.
Washington. May determination
of the news from Picking that Russian
troops re-entered New Chwang and
then retired was received by the state
department from Minister Conger
Saturday. The officials of the depart
ment are unable to understand the
move. The receipt of this advice late
in the day brought relief to strained
situation, and it was decided by the de-
partment that there was no longer oc-
casion for action, even diploma tically,
at this stage. Count Cassini, in the
course of his talk with Secretary HAY,
very earnestly impressed upon the sec
rotary his conviction that the Russian
government had lived up to its agree
ments. and. in view of these repre-
sensations, Secretary Hay did not hest
tate to dlssipate the impression that
might have existed that there remained
any need for diplomatic action relative
to Manchuria by the United States,
Great Britain and Japan. The situa-
ton, consequently, lapses back to
where it was after the original Russian
disclaimer. which followed the de-
mands upon China two weeks ago. and
for the present the attitude Of the
United State government will be simply
one of observance.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, said Saturday:
'When the whole truth is known it
Will be found that Russia has not Vi
olated single pledge made to any ma
ton, nor does she intend to do so.
