maid, and he would have
cheerfully separated himself from his
royal prerogatives, titles, castles and
estates if by so doing he could have
acquired the inestimable privilege of
calling that radiant morsel of female
loyeliness, whose straightforward tale
he had Just listened to, his own for aye.
He would have gone step further.
He would have winked at a divorce

him, and allow him to press her
besuteous head against his royal. chest

But the king, tho ardent, was not.
rash. He had the strength to forego a
present blessing that he might the

Then again, there Was a Ieayenlng of
humor in his kingly composition. To
win the beggar maid; to make the
royal treasury to bulge with a bulginess
to which it had been hitherto total
stranger; to bunko the purse-proud
senators and to laugh at them after
ward; d;-these were the things the king
aimed at. And he was confident of
hitting all he aimed at if he could
persuade the beggar maid to ply her
trade on q larger scale. For he was not
so dull-brained as to overlook the fact
that generally speaking, the world
strongly condemns little fault, but
readily forgives great fault. The
petty beggar is despised; the grand
beggar is admired. The petty thief is

\ Winter at
NeWChWang.

THE gunboat Palos was ordered
to Newchwang for the winter
to protect some so-called
American missionaries who
were stationed there. There were two
families of them and they could hardly
speak word of English among the
whole lot. 1 think they were Russians
or Turks and am sure they had never
seen America. It was late in the fall
when we arrived at Newchwang. Snow
covered the ground and ice the beach.
There is no harbor; it is, an open road
stead and freezes solid to about ten
miles off shore; SO the natives dug
hole in the beach for the gunboat.
This mud dock, as they called 1t, was
wide and deep enough for her to enter,
and at high water we steamed into
limbo, as the sailors called it. At low
water about a million natives, more or
less, got under her stern and banked
up the mud to keep the water out and
the gunboat in. We had brought
lumber with us and with this we housed
over the spar deck.
It was. a good thing we did so, for
soon after we arrived there came
blizzard and buried us in snow. The
mercury dropped to 60 below zero and
froze there as hard as the rock of
Gibraltar. We had to cut steps in the
snow from the spar deck to the top of
the drift SO we could see the town.
Then we had to 60 and dig the mis-
sionaries out and bring them aboard so
we could protect them. We protected
them for seven long and dreary months.
1t was hell without the heat. Every
day we were ordered out in the snow to
exercise and the wind would blow
through our lilacs. We dared not use
the coal in the bunkers-we wanted that
to get away with-so we had to pack
coal in sacks from the town to the
boat. The captain and his officers did
all they could to make it pleasant for
the crew, but the boat was too small
for comfort. 1t was $50 feet long with
crew of 100 men, and the spar deck
was a gingerbread affair, while the
berth and gundecks were one with
six 2O-pound Dahlgrsn rifles to tumble
over. But it was. q great place for
boxing. You watched your man until
his heels touched gun carriage, then
you swatted him and he vanished over
the gun.
Yet it was monotonous. The chief
engineer got the blues and retired to
his berth and shot himself, which event
cast further gloom over us. There
never was more welcome May then
the one that found US at Newchwang
and the sun has never shone more
brightly then it did on the day we
steamed away from that mudhole for
Shanghai where 48 hours liberty
awaited each watch.

for Manchuria and the port of New

London stock Erchanre.

London. Nov. 20.--Rumors of a col- lision in Afghanistan and a hitch in the Anglo-Russian negotiations threw the stock exchange of the past week in nervous condition, depressing all the markets and greatly restricting busi- ness. While there is no belief in the possibility of war between great Brit ian and Russia, opinions are extremely sensitive and cautious On Saturday reassuring reports brought return of confidence, and the markets rapidly improved. The allotment of the Japa- nese loans has been arranged as far as possible in favor of smaller investors. The fluctuations in the American mar kets were very cratic. apparently the outcome of Wall Street influences. which could not be accurately guaged here. but generally confidence is felt in the American securities.

CHARGES AGAINST JAPANESE.
MihadO's Men Accused of Violating

Mil<adO's Men Accused of Violating
 Rules Of Warfare.
 Chefoo, Nov. 2O.--General Balashoff the head of the Red Cross Society at Port Arthur, sent to the Associated Press on the torpedo boat destroyer Raestoropny, which arrived here from Port Arthur November 16, and which was subsequently, destroyed by her crew in this harbor, a personal letter charging the Japanese with a violation of the rules of civilized warfare Ow- ing to an error the letter of General Balashoff was not delivered to the As- sociated Press until today.
 In his letter General Balashom re- quests the publication of the charges that the Japanese deliberately disre- garded the obligation of the Geneva and Hague conventions. He says that they have compelled the abandonment by the Russians of three plainly mark cd hospital ships and that wounded who were on board the Halen sunken steamer Andara also had to be remov- ed. These ships, says General Bala- shoff, were anchored where they did not interfere with the Japanese fire against the Russian warships, He further says that the Japanese who use bal looms to direct their fire and who drop their shells with minute accuracy into 1hS FAEoof SSlhnot AhlstaRe the huSpltal ships and he charges that they deIib- Brately drove the wounded from ships for the purpose of sinking the vessels
 This occurred recently" said Gen. eral BalashoR but earlier noticed in- stances of a concentration of fire on portions of the town devoted almost exclusively to hospitals
 "Other instances of uncivilized war fare are numerous but have no time to write them. I scarcely have time to eat and sleep"
 General Balashon requests that his letter serve as his protest to the world against the tactics of the Japanese As an illustration of the difficulty of communication with Port Arthur, it is learned that of six duplicate letters which were sent from Chefoo to Gener- al Balashoff by various sources only one reached him.

are joined the qualities of tenderness toward those he loves. who are depend ent upon him and of right dealing with all of his neighbors.,
 Finally. want to Congratulate you alt on certain successes that we have achieved in the century and a quarter that has gone by of our American life. We have difficulties enough and swe are long way short of perfection. do not see any immediate danger of our growing too good; there Is ample room for effort yet left. But ye have achlev- ed certain results and we have suc- ceeded in measureably realizing certain Ideals. We have grown to accept 1t as an automatic truth Of our American life that the man is to be treated on his worth as man, without regard to the accidents of his person. that this Is not a Government designed to favor the rich man as such, or the poor as such. but that It Is designed to favor every man, rich or poor If he is q de- cent man, who acts fairly by his fel- lows.
 Religious Freedom.
 We have grown to realize that part of the foundations upon which our llb- erty rests is the right of each man to worship his Creator according to the dictates of his conscience and the rule of each man to respect his fellow who so worships Him. and of course. my countrymeh, one of the best futures of this country, for the future of this mighty and majestic nation of ours, lies in the fact that we have grown to regard one another with a broad and kindly charity and to realize that the field for human endeavor is wide, that the field for charitable, philanthropie, religious work Is wide and that while a corner of 1t re mains untitled. we do dreadful wrong if we fail to welcome the work done In that field by every man or woman. whatever his creed, provided they only work with lofty sense of duty"
 After a speech by Commissioner Mac Farland the choir sang America and a number of hymns.
 The President joined in the singing and the audience was not slow in fol- lowing. A number of younger church officials followed the President to his carriage. He shook hands with them and called heartily as he drove away, Good by boys, I am glad to have been with you"

Nov. 20.--Bishop Chatard. of the diocese of Indianapolis. was rece- ived in private audience by Pope Plus x today His Holiness asked Bish- op Chatard about the number of com munications and priests and the condi~ tion of the missions of the diocese and expressed pleasure when told that the work there was sufficient to keep both Bishop Chatard and auxiliary Bishop Odonaghue busy. At the conclusion of the audience the Pope extended the apostolic benediction to all the faith ful of the diocese.
 The Pope today received a com munication from Lueca. Learning that two of the members of committee came to Rome on bicycles he congratulated them, adding;
