The na- ture. characteristics, and resultant of each realm are delineated with absolute fidel- tty me mind of the flesh Is described as inimical to God-not subject to him, and consequently displeasing to him. Death reigns in this realm. But 1t is possible for every man to make his exit from this sphere of the flesh into the sphere of the Spirit, the characteristics of which are life and peace. Here. according to Paul. the Divine dwells in him, or he comes to consciousness of the Divine with in and in harmony with the same, and thus becomes a son of God This was an immeasurable advance upon the best teachings of the best religions of an tiquity. There was no mystery or ob- scurity in It. It simply affirmed that the choice of the Divine, consistently re- newed, would ultimate in conformity to the Divine.

Governor Reduces It to Confinemen
 in Jail

Fritz Carle. white man ot Jenerson County, who killed his friend In tn ac- cident will not have to serve out his sentence of three months hard labor, put upon him by the court.
 In view of the fact that the tragedy was an undisputed accident. Governor Ieiks commuted the three months hard labor sentence to eighty days Imprisonment in the Jefferson County jail.

The American Boy Wants to Be a

A man who made millions by his me chanical inventions, a man whose inven- tions have changed the daily life of every American. told me says Edward Everett Hale. in The June Cosmopolitan. that he had asked fifty boys what handi- work they would prefer; and that, in ev- cry instance, the boy replied that he would like to be plumber. The curious truth was that plumbing was the only mechanical art which these boys. train ed in our modern life, had seen in prac- tice.

The Teachers Lantern.

The pldntlnB or the CIOSpel m LOHuOn IS a more important matter than its plant ing in Dahomey; not. however, of necessity because men are more valuable in the former place than In the latter. The req son Is found in the fact that the means of diffusing the truth are more numer- ous in the metropolis of the Anglo-Saxon race. The faith once established in Lon don would quickly speed its way on the wings of commerce not to Dahomey alone, but to every other province.
 The case stood exactly so in Paul's day. It made him happy to think that by some means the Gospel had already found a Judgment in the very heart of the em- pire, and by the power of a moral gray itation was speeding its way as from a lofty reservoir in streams of salvation to the most distant and arid wastes of heathenism. The faith of the Roma n Christians was spoken of throughout the world. not of necessity because it was different in kind or larger in degree, but simply because from its location 1t could be more widely observed It was partly a matter of geography.
 But the Apostle rejoiced with trembling, Apostasy at Rome would be correspond ingly calamitous. It would damage the cause of Christ in the very ratio of its cOnSplCuOuSneSS. II was tnlS tnal caused Paul to pray without ceasing. His heart s desire was that Christianity at this center of the worlds thought and influence might always be exempllflsd by the pur- est possible type.
 The eighth Chapter of Romans put into a human life is an irrefutable argument for the Divinity of the religion of Jesus. Such incarnations are known in biography and current life. That is for many an end of all controversy.
 So the defense of Christianity in the ul- innate analysis is not SO much in books as in lives. Each may be a living book one that can not be shelved away in the oblivion of library-one that keeps cir culating and which men read per force.
 In the Epistle to the Romans, Paul built a pyramid. broader, loftier, more en- during. than that of Cheops. It's base rests on the tried stone the sure foun- dation laid in Zion-the sacrifice and me- diation of Jesus. Out of the horrible pit, the rnire and clay of human depravity so graphically delineated.

Conflict Between Japan and Russia Cannot be Delayed
DIPLOMACY EXHAUSTED
Rumor That Japan Has Sent an Ulti- matum is not Confirmed but it is Agreed That Hope of Peaceful Solu. tion is Practically at an End.

London, Dec. 2O.-Reuter's Telegram company has learned that considerable anxiety exists in the best informed circles of London, regarding the pos sible outcome of the situation in the far east. Fears are, it is said, eX- pressed that the Russian government may have overstepped the bounds which would make d continuation of peaceful negotiations with Japan pos sible.
 It may be regarded as quite certain, it asserts, that Japan will not accept the principles of the Russian note, which are altogether at variance with Japan's main contentious. and that Japan's reply must necessarily be cast in this sense.
 Apart from the delicate state of the negotiations between the two nations Reuter- says it is also known that Rus sia is assuming a more defiant atti- tude and the outlook may be regarded as more gloomy than it has hitherto been and it is said that the resources of diplomacy have been completely ex- hausted.

THE SITUATION VERY CRAVE.

Pekin. Dec. 2O.--The report cabled from Tien Tsin to London Saturday to the effect that Japan had sent an ulti- matum to Russia is discredited here and no information of a cOrroborative nature is in the possession of the for eign legations.
 While the knowledge of the legations on the situation leads to the belief that the sending of an ultimai um is inn probable, the prospects of var are evil dently increasing.
 The British legation some days ago received a telegram indicating that war was possible and the Japanese legation is informed that Russia's re- cent reply to the Japan proposals were unsatisfactory.
 While no news has been received at the Japanese legation that Japan has sent an ultimatum to Russia, it is recognized at the legation that a grave crisis is approa9hinG. Major General Yamani. the Japanese military attache and the Japanese colonel who ha. been instructinS General Yuam Shal Kai's troops have both started fo. Japan.
 The native press recently reiterated circumstantial story to the effect that in the event of Manchuria being retained by Russia, it was the inten- ton of Great Britain to establish q protectorate over the Yangtse valley as compensation and to appoint n vice. roy therein so that her prestige in the far east would be equal to Russia's s

States to British Africa grew from $3,- 6sS,999 in 1893 to BPS, 780, 1O5 in 1902, the total for 1902 being nearly eight times as great as that for 1893; while, as all ready indicated. that of the United Kingdom for 1902 was only three times as great as in 1893
 The total exports from the United States to Africa have grown with great rapidity-fron s5,196, 4SO in 1893 to sSs.- 436, S53 in 1903, being more than seven times as much in 1909 as in 1893; while to Asia and Oceania our exports grew from $2S,O64,O3S in 1893 to $95, ,52S in 1903; to South America, from $32, ,639, OFT in 1893 to $41137,S72 in 1903; to North America, other than the United States, from $119. 7sS, SS9 in 1893 to S215, 4S2, 769 in 1903, and to Europe. from $661.976, 71O in 1893 to $1, ,G29, 256, ,657 in 1903.
 That there is still room for a growth in exports to South Africa, and that our share in supplying that market still falls far below that of the United King dom, is evident from the fact that the total value of merchandise exported from Great Britain to her South Afri- can colonies in 1902 was SIPS, ,2S0, ,O0O against a total of BPS, 7SO, 105 exported from the United States in that year tc all British possessions in Africa.

WILL RAISE PRICE OF COAL.
Readjustment of Miners Wages Said
 to be Contemplated.

Cleveland. O.. Dec. 20.-Coal opera tors of Ohio, West Virginia and Penn sylvania will raise the price of steam coal at the mines This has become ap- parent through the gossip of the coal men who are in conference at the Coal club in the Hollenden. It is explained that the prices have been greatly de- moralized during the past summer and that a readiustment is imperative.
 It has become patent that the ques- ton of miners wages cannot be avoid ed. While the operators can take no official action in this connection their attitude will. nevertheless. be a pretty clear index to the position which will be taken by the interstate coal opera tors representatives in the negotiations between themselves and the delegates from the United Mine Workers union in the coming conference in Indianapo- lis. The coal operators will insist up- on the withdrawal of the present wage scale and the acceptance of a reduc- tion

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 20.-Cattle re- ceiots at Kansas City last week were 3G,50S cattle and 3,719 calves, as com pared with 53, 126 cattle and 3906 calves the same week last year. The week, of course. showed a further reduction in the supply of western range stuff Stockers and feeders had a good de- mand, and closed the week 10 to 20 cents higher, with cases of more gains. Some $3.25 feeders Thursday were 40 cents higher than the low time in No vember. Cows did not change for the week, and though beef steers were n;ore or less dull all week, prices on them averaged about like those of pre- vious week, and sold from s3.5O to S.25 mostly. Stock calves were dull. hut veal calves were scarce and firm. The run yesterday was 10.G00 cattle, and prices started out strong to 1O cents higher, this for stockers and feeders. Fat stuff and cows averaged about steady. Inquiry for stcckers and feeders is the strongest feature of the market as it was eli of last week
 Range sheep and lambs are still ar irving in some numbers. but the total supply last week was only 15.S34 against 31 206 for the same week last year. Some Utah ewes brought S3.25 last week, and wethers s3.40. Sheer and yearlings from Montrose. Colo. S6 pounds, brought $3.65. and the feed ing end of same shipment sold at s3.25 S pounds. Mir.

The run yesterday was light, and prices on both sheep anC lambs strong to 10 cents higher. The light run keeps prices relatively higf at Kansas City. and out of line witt competing markets.

DEPOT OF SUPPLIES
British South Africa is a
 Growing Market
A Ninefoid Increase of the Business of the United States There in Re- cent Years.

Washington, Dec 2O.-The value of South Africa as market is the subject of some special attention at the pres ent time by reason of d report upon that subject recently presented to the British parliament. This report shows that the British colonies in South Africa have become of greater import ance than any other of the British col onies except India. Ten years ago." it says, Great Britain's exports to South Africa were valued at a little under f9, O0O,000 sterling: last year they al most reached f26. .000, coo. In 1893 South Africa stood sixth on the list of Great Britains' customers; last year she stood second, and was only beaten by India. It is no rash prediction that this year she will pass India ard stand first on the list as the largest buyer in the world of the produce and manufactures of the mother country"
 This statement of the great import ance and rapidly growing importance of South Africa as an importing coun- try lends especial interest to some fig ures just prepared by the department of commerce and labo- through it's bu- reaus of statistics, showing the growth : of experts from the United States to British Africa and to Africa as d whole These figures show that the eX- ports from the United States to Brit ish Africa have grown with even greater rapidity than those from the United Kingdom referred to by the re- port above quoted. Exports from the [ United States to British Africa grew from S3,eSS,999 in 1893 to $33,S44,395 in 1903, or, in other words, were nine times as much in 1903 as in 1893, while exports from the United Kingdom to South Africa grew from $39, ,S960 GOO in 1893 to $125, ,2S0,0OO in 1902, the 1903 fig ures not being yet available. Thus. while exports from the United States to British Africa are in 1903 nine times those of 1893, those from the United Kingdcm were in 1892 but three times as much as those in 1893.
 The relative growth of exports from the United States and from the United Kingdom to the territory in question can be more accurately determined by
 utilizing the figures of the United States for the year 1902, since the fig ures for the United Kingdom for the 1 year 1903 are not yet available. This shows that the exports from the United
