to individual members of the two congre- gations had at last been left behind of ficially. As a matter of fact, the old dispute arose through the preaching of the Rev. John Davenport at the First Church in 1888. The question was wheth- CT children of parents who had been baptized, but who were not communi- cants, could be baptized. Davenport, contrary to the opinion of many. held the negative; and since this was displeas- ing to members of his church, twenty eight of them withdrew and formed the Third, or Old South, Church, the society which subsequently, built and worshiped in the Old South Meeting House, at Milk and Washington Streets.
 It had been felt previous to the recent exchange that this fraternal hand-clasp- ing might fail of some measure of sue cess because of the communion services due to follow the preaching service on the first Sunday of the month. But few, if any, members stayed away on this ac- count It was arranged that Mir. Bells, so soon as he had finished preaching, should hurry back to his own church, there to join with Dr. Gordon in con ducting the communion. About the usual number of members remained for this service, and few came from the Old South in response to the invitation that had been extended there.

CANAL AND RAILWAYS.
Canal Will Probably Cause a Read
 juEtment of Railroad Business.

In a recent number of the Railway World Emory R. Johnson. who was on the Walker canal commission discusses the Panama Canal project in it's relation to the transcontinentaI railway, says the Boston transcript. He has received from the traffic officials of these lines some rather contradictory testimony. One of them takes a profoundly gloomy view of the prospect. He says the inevitable com petition will necessitate such a reduction of rates may throw the Pacific railways into insolvency and a scaling down of cap spect for his opinion also believes that the canal will lower railway rates between Pa cifc ports and all points in the central and eastern portions of the country, and that dis tributing points like Pittsburg will lose in proportion. New York, Boston, Philadelphia ard other shipping points on the seaboard will gain;- but, he adds that ''the general effect of canal upon the commerce and industry of the United States will be beneficial D Though compelling a readjustment of business and fin some cases a reduction of rates the do, and the travel and traffic of this country and the business done at home and abroad. will so increase ultimately to make both the railways and the canal a necessity" [" This Is probably estimate of the pros rect than the other. The Atlantis port cities may naturally expect to be the first and the leading benefciaries. Of course in this cate gory the Gulf cities are also to be included. as is evident from the alacrity shown in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi in in- structing their Senators to vote for the rati- reduction of rates by the transcontinental lines would not be event over which the great est producers of the country would be in consolable.

SOMETHING ABOUT KAREN.
The Newest City in the World and
 One of the Most Remarkable.

The Newest City in the World and
 One of the Most Remarkable. New York Sun.
 Now that Vtceroy Alexieff, the Russian commander in the far East, has moved his headquarters from Port Arthur to Harbin. Manehuria, that place becomes of special interest.
 It is a new city in the heart of Man churia, built by Russia, and Is one of the worlds greatest achievements in city construction. Harbin Is located on the Sungari river, at the point where the Manchuria branch of the Siberian Railway crosses the stream, and where the Chinese Eastern branch starts south to Dalny and Port Arthur. It Is about 350 miles west of Vladivostok and 600 miles north of Port Arthur. Its location Is the geographical centre of ManchurIa and promises, says United States Consul Miller of Newchwang, to become the commercial center as we'll. The city is surrounded on all sides for hundreds of miles with rich and productive agricul- tural country producing corn, wheat, oats, barley, beans, millet. hemp, tobac- co, vegetables and some fruits. Miner als and timber and great areas of graz ing land also surround 1t.
 The entire city Is a Russian product just as much as though it were located in the heart of Russia. Only Russians and Chinese are permitted to own land. construct buildings or engage in any per- manent enterprise. The city was con- structed under the management of the Manchurian Railway Company by the Russian government. The land for many miles in each direction has been secured so as to make 1t impossible for any for eign influence to obtain a foothold close to the city, and foreigners are not rec ognized as having any rights whatever, but are permitted there by sufferance. Here is an object lesson as to the way in which Russia will shut out foreign trade, | foreign capital and foreign rights from all Manchuria and China, and all of the far East which she has. or can get, in her grasp In the present war Japan Is really fighting for all the world, outside of Russia, to checkmate and destroy this inordinate Russian greed.

CONVENTION IS ORDERED
 BY THE COUNTY COMMITTEE
Names of Candidates For Places on Board of Revenue Will Be Placed on the Official Ballot
 For the Primary.

ed by the Governor. Recently. however the point was raised when the Legisla' ture in October passed the general cleo ton law, the special law. providing for the appointment of members of the Board of Revenue was repealed
 The Gunter resolution was: Resolved by the County Executive Committee as follows: That candidates for office of the Board of Revenue may have their names placed upon the Democratic ticket in the same manner as other candidates for of iices and in such manner as provided by law"
 Mir. Gunter, c. P. Mcintyre and W. W. Hill spoke at length on the law. all being of the opinion that the special law was repealed. Chairman Rushton argued that the special act was not repealed be- cause the words "all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby re- pealed," were not affixed to the general law.
 Tho proposition was argued until the Committeeman were exhausted. The meeting of political body was trans formed into a court of law. The lawyers spoke nearly three hours.
 The Gunter resolution was adopted by a viva voce vote. Before the adoption of the resolution, however, C.. B. Teasley mittce leave the matter alone and that he or some other member would test the law by applying for writ of mandamus to compel the Committee to put names of candidates for the Board of Revenue on the ticket.
 Those who favored putting the names on the ticket declined the suggestion.
 A number of prominent men throughout the County have indicated that they will run for the Board of Revenue places, while the present Board strictly main- tains that their seats are secure. The question will have to be tested in the courts.
 A resolution was adopted that those candidates for constableships who so de- sired could have their names printed on the tickets on payment of a $250 fee.
 The Committee then adjourned until

 The Sungari river is navlgable for 200 miles above the city, up both branches.
 The railroads running 0 om Harbin con- meet with seagoing ships at Newchwang, Dalny and Port Arthur.
 The Russo-Chinese bank makes a point of giving preferential advantages to Rus sian and Chinese merchants, but its treatment of foreigners Is quite the con- trary.
 Harbins leading industry is the manu- facture of flour. Eight mills are now In operation, but only the smallest one has tries are brick manufacturing, vodka brewing. meat packing, confectionery and saw mills.

Two Boston Churches -Allow Their Pastors to Exchange For
 First Time,


 Boston Transcript.
 Church-going people all over the Boston district are interested in the coming to- gether recently of two Back Bay churches that have been estranged for 2B5 years. These were the First Church, in Boston. Marlboro and Berkeley Streets, and the old South Church, Bolyston and Dartmouth Streets. It Is true the pastors and members of the congregations have long been friends and neighbors, but the feeling that occasioned the breach more than two centuries ago has been potent enough in underlying influence to keep the two societies apart, and 1t is only twenty years ago that the pastor of the Old South, asked to exchange pulpits with the other, replied that he felt the time had not yet come when such an exchange was advisable. He thought then that it would be misunderstood by the Church.
 But the exchange came Sunday, Feb. z, The Rev. James Bells, of the First Church, preached at the Old South; the Rev. George A. Gordon, D. D., of the Old South, was in the pulpit of the First Church, The broadening thought of later days had at last made it's Impress. and the nature of the differences which long have been without special meaning
