BROUGHT TO ITS CLOSE
PINE LAKE ASSEMBLY CONCLUDES
A SUCCESSFUL SESSION.
The Rev. f. j. COnant ON the second
Coming of Christ-Debs at the
Madison Chautauqua.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE. Ind, Aug 2.-The ninth an
nual session of the Pine Lake Chautauqua
Assembly came to a close tonight with the
holding of sacred concert and short adj
dress by DR.. r. N Van Doren, editor of the
Standard, who preached the sermon at the
morning meeting to-day. The concert was
participated in by Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Morse, Mrs. Talmage, Mrs. Pearl Polk Dun
gan, Louis Evans, Mrs. E. III. Emett and
Roscoe Stott. Large audiences marked the
closing sessions.
The Rev. E. j. Conant, in his final lee
ture, said that many to-day utterly reject
the thought that the second coming of
Christ is near at hand. They say that
men have been expecting Him for a long
time and He has not come and that ii is
foolish to expect that He will come. This
unbelief agrees perfectly with the predic-
tons of Scripture. But Christ will surely
come, said the speaker, and that soon, as
is made evident by the comparison of the
spiritual conditions to-day with that pre-
dicted in Gods word.
The Rev. Johnston Meyers lecture on
trusts attracted much attention. He said
that trusts have grown out of the very
nature of things. When the savage wanted
a bark canoe he could make it himself, but
when better boats were desired there had
to be the combination of the woodworker,
the worker in iron and the painter. Years
ago in order to travel from New York to
the Pacific coast, one had to travel on
eighteen different railroads and transfer
his baggage from one TO the other. Now the
tourney may be made without change OF
cars. Yet some people, are so opposed to
combinations that they would have us go
back TO the old way. We cannot do bust
ness successfully without confidence-trust
i'm each other. Believe i'm a man and you
help him. What the Democratic party
needs most is a leader in whom they all
believe They had almost such a leader in
BRYAN and conducted q wonderful cam
paign We shall make mighty stride for
ward when we have brotherhood of men
who trust each other. What saved our Ma

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
Favorite Sons VIII Have the Call for

Bryan's Power Is Gone.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-With the re-
turn of Senator German to the United
States it is expected that the campaign
looking to his nomination for the presidency
on the Democratic ticket will take def
mite shape The recent agitation for Sena-
tor Cocbrell i'm this connection attracted no
little interest. 1t seems to be well under
stood that the movement is designed by
the party machine in his own State to get
the senator out of the way and possibly
clear the road for Governor Dockery to
ride into the Senate. A member of SEN
ator Cockrel's family suggests the posi-
bility of the senator writing a formal card
disclaiming any ambition in the direction
of the Democratic nomination If the agita-
ton continues. The senator prefers the GER
tainty of his present position of power i'm
the Senate to the uncertainty which the
Democratic nomination offers The friends
of Senator German claim that the States
which as q result of the recent general
shifting of things political are now prac-
tically ready to declare in the convention
for the Maryland senator are as follows.

diana and Illinois, Maryland of course
Michigan ana minnesota, kentucky, Ten
nessee, Delaware, West Virginia and Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina, LOUISE

Bryan stock continues to go down 1t
is even intimated that except i'm some of
the Western and Southwestern States there
is little left of the radical wing of the
party, and that when the convention is
called to order Mr.. Bryan will not WELD the
power he believes is still his. The Demo-
cratic representatives who for the last
few days lave been In Washington assert
that the only States still loyal to Mr.

About Joseph Conrad.

Literary Bulletin.
When Joseph Conrad the author Of
Youth" writes a story, he writes from
the model. Everything that he has so far
put on paper has been at least based upon
a personal experience. The three stories in
"Youth"-"Youth," Heart of Darkness"
and THE End of the Tether"-are, as it
were, bits cut from his own life-almost
autobiographical When young boy, just
after he had taken up the life of a sailor,
he shipped on a rattle-trap of a boat, rum
ming between London and Australian ports.
Out of the incidents of that voyage and
hunger for experience threw over all the
dirty work and peril and hardship grew the
story Youth" In the Eastern seas he
worked for many years on both sailing and
steam vessels, and 1t was during that time
he met with the type of man whom he
made into the hero of THE End of the
Tether, the steadfast, faithful captain of
the steamer Sofala. The experiences which
crystalliZed into the weird and powerful
story of the African jungle, 1.-The Heart of
Darkness, he deliberately went out to

ostensibly to command a river steamer, but

fever, the first days illness since he was a
boy of sixteen. How vivid an impression
he brought back, only those who have read

In connection with the recent arrest at
Shanghai of seven Chinese editors on
charges of sedition and the probable deci-
sion of the ministers the question of
turning the editors over to Chinese juris-
diction, a representative of the Reformers
has sent the following letter to the Asso-
ciated Press:
eve earnestly hope that the authorities
of the civilized nations will give timely
warning to this government, which seems
to be preparing a bastile for the true lovers
of China.
''It would be discouraging to progressive
Chinese If the seven reformerS under ar
rest at Shanghai should be turned over to
the Chinese government and beheaded.
Their writing are, of course, offensive and
seditious, yet, would they be punished as
though they had spoken in a like manner
against the American or British govern
ments, which exist for the welfare of the
people? But the government of this land
has become so corrupt and has proved such
a curse to the people that reformers deserve
the sympathy of all enlightened men who
can perceive in what a miserable state
these men are kept"
The letter concludes: as there any hope
for China except in revolution or rebel

OmciaI Report for March shows Sub
stantinl Business Growth.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The official re-
ports of Philippine trade for the month of
March, 1908, have been received at the in
sular bureau Of the War Department, from
whose summary of commerce of the arch
ipelago il is shown that during the nine
months ending March 81, 1903. exclusive of
gold and silver and government supplies,
the value of merchandise imported and
exported amounted to SAC. $50 4S5, against s42-
800 sOS in 1892 and $40. 332, 1876 during the same
period in 1901.
The import figures indicate that there has
been no material change in the volume of
this class of trade compared with the
previous year. the gain being confined ex-
clusively TO an increase in exports, princi-
pally hemp and copra, both of which prod
ucts doubtless will be shipped in large
quantities for some time TO come The
prospects for greater expectations of sugar
and tobacco, especially the latter, are good.
