CONDITIONS IN JAPAN.
An Interesting Report Sent by Con-
sui General Bellows.

An interesting report has been made to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
upon conditions in Japan as affected by the
Russo-Japanese war by United States Con-
sui General Bellows, at Yokohama, Japan
Mr.. Bellows says that in Japan enter
prises of all kinds are necessarily affected
by the outbreak of war, and it is not pos
sible just at present to report with GER
tainty any opportunities for supplying
materials or obtaining contracts for the
construction Of public or semi-public
works. Money which had been intended
for the extension of government railway
lines has been diverted to other uses, and
1t is stated that the government will stop
work on all lines except those needed for
transporting military supplies. The SanyO
Railway Company had in contemplation
provements this year. but whether the di-
rectors of the company will proceed with
their plans under present disturbed condi-
tions may well be doubted.
The increased cost of labor is already a
noticeable factor in industrial conditions,
and the probability of continued rise, to-
gether with the difficulty of obtaining
ment into contracts for construction which
will render them very undesirable during
the coming season. In this regard foreign
ers at a great disadvantage as COM
pared with natives, because they do not
know so well where to look for laborers,
and the traditions of the country cause
workmen to expect higher wages when en-
ployed by foreigner There may be a
considerable demand for certain kinds of
foreign steel and iron which the Japanese
are not yet able to supply from their own
fOundries

WHEAT FOR ENGLAND.
Importations From Russia Increase,
Those From America Fall Off.

United States Consul Mahin at Noting
ham. England, writes to the Department of
Commerce and Labor upon foreign wheat
In Great Britain. Mr. Mahin says that
since 1901 the amount of wheat imported
from Russia into England has enormously
increased. whereas that of the United
States has decreased. The consul states
that the latter is explainable by the short
crops in the United States and the abso-
lutte necessity of Great Britain's transfer
ring a part of her orders to some other
country.
III December. 1908. the wheat imports into
Great Britain from Russia alone exceeded
the total from all North America. The fig
ures for the first months of the year are
not available yet, but there is nothing ex-
Cept the war with Japan to indicate that
wheat imports from Russia will not con-
tiEue to increase. The united kingdom will
require even more imported wheat in 1904
than last year. as her own crop In 1908
was 100000 bushels less than In 1902 and
100000 bushels less than In 1901, and the
outlook for the year is very gloomy.

"THE BOYS" ENTERTAIN.
Chinese Sunday School Entertains
Large Assemblage.


Over 200 privileged friends and teachers
enjoyed the entertainment and banquet pro-
vided last evening by "the boys" OF the
Calvary Baptist Chinese Sunday school.
The program of entertainment was pleas
antly varied, and the overture consisted Of
an assortment of Chinese tunes reproduced
on an American photograph, after which
brief addresses of welcome and readings
from Scripture were interspersed with vo-
cal duets and solos. accompanied some
times by the flute, and with music on the
flute and the Chinese harp, which was
heartily encOred.
One of the voices If no more, was very
pleasing, and two three of the speakers
evinced not only mastery of English words
and phrasing, but ability to make good
the members stood up and joined their forty
voices on their native words for Jesus,
Our King.
Mr.. Frank F. Sergeant commissioner
general of immigration, expressed In hve-
minute speech the peculiar honor he felt
that one in his position should have been
invited by Chinese hosts to their enter
tainment, and declared 1t to pc ms cons s';a

Illness as to win the respect OF the tmml-
grants of whose general Worthlness ne

expected, for the little red invitations had
conveyed no idea of banquet to follow,
with menus and flowers and Freund for
caterer! But the Calvary boys did not
stop short of a complete program. The
teachers from the three other similar
schools in the city were present-several
of the pupils attend more than one-and
their sentiments of harmonious co-opera-
ton were expressed by Mrs. l.. M. Sum-
mers superintendent of the Metropolitan
Methodist school; by Mr.. A. M. Poynton,
superintendent of the Pro-Cathedral Church
of the Ascension, and by Miss Wharton,
assistant in the three-weeks-old school at
the First Baptist Church.
Judge Scott also was among the speakers,
and in common with Mr.. Poynton, called
attention to the remarkable absence of
Chinese names and faces among the 10000
police cases of last year, while among 1900
cases of drunkenness not one was a
Chinaman.
Reference was, madeAto Prince Pu Lun,
who, while regretfully comparing the lot
of common people in his own country and
in ours, it was said, might well learn
lesson of cheer and of faith from the at
tainments of his countrymen here, whose
lot has fallen within that circle which
knows no bounds OF race or citizenship.
The religious and human significance of
the gathering was most effectively summed
up by the pastor, DR.. Samuel H. Greene.
Though the plan and work are largely the
pupils own, the labors and the zeal of
Superintendent Samuel T. Smith. who
acted as master of ceremonies, and of the
accompanist, Miss Hodgkins, contributed
much to the success of the affair

ATHLETICS AT FAIR.
TREAT FOR LOVERS OF sTRENU-
 GUS SPORTS AT ST. LOUIS.
Revival of olympian Games at Expo sition Will Present Series of Con- tests Lasting from August
 29 to September 3.

St. Louis, Aug. 15.-Lovers of the strenuous sports from every part of the world are gathering at St. Louis to take part in or witness the contests of world athletes in the Olympic games series, beginning at the Stadium on the Worlds Fair grounds on August 2g. This is the most important ath- letic event of the times and the records made here will stand as per. manent history.
 Athens, the birthplace of these royal sports, revived the Olympic games eight years ago, and later at the Paris Exposition they were restored to their proper dignity as world event. Upon the latter occasion American brawn and muscle conquered in most of the contests and the victories were brought for the first time to this side of the Atlantic.
 On the Worlds Fair grounds in St. Louis, just as they were waged in the ancient Grecian arena, these games will be played again, Greek pitted against his Roman foe as of old, and Briton challenging the strength and prowess of the American. The Indian, the Japanese, the Filipino and half a dozen other races will be represented in these contests, and the winners of the prizes will be victors indeed.
 While these sports are revived from the long ago, they are by no means to be old-fashioned. All of the contests are under the auspices of the Ameri- can Athletic union, and the officials who have charge of the events were will prevail throughout all of the games.
 The programme of the Olympic series follows:
 Monday, Aug. 29.-Sixty-meter run; throwing the 16-pound hammer; 400- meter run; 2,590-meter steeplechase; standing broad jump; running high jump.
 Tuesday, Aug. 30.-Marathon race, 40 kilometers.
 Wednesday, Aug. 31.-Two hundred meter run; putting the 16-pound shot; lifting bar bell; standing high jump; international tug-of-war (trials) 1, teams of five men each. weight un- limited; 400-meter hurdle race.
 Thursday, Sept. 1.-Eight hundred meter run; throwing 56-pound weight for distance; 200-meter hurdle race; running broad jump; running hop, step and, jump; tug-of-war (inaD; dumb-bell competition, first section.
 Saturday, Sept. 3-One hundred meter run; throwing the discus; dumb-bell, second section; 1,500-meter run; 110-meter run; pole vault for height; three standing jumps; inter- national team race, each country to start five men.
 Tn connection with the above scratch events for the championship of the world, the following handicap events will be given:
 Monday, Aug. 29.-One hundred and twenty-yard hurdle; running broad jump; SS0-yard run; putting the 16- pound shot.
 Wednesday, Aug 31.-One mile 100-yard run; high jump; pole vault.
 Thursday, Sept. 1.-Two hundred
