Reassures Tint Country Regarding Ir-
 tentions of Japan.
 Seoul, March 27-Marquis Ito and his suite, with the exception of General Ijichi, the former Japanese military at tache here, left for ToBio to-day after having had a farewell audience with the emperor. The departure of the Japanese dignitaries was attended by all the principal officials of the govern ment and by the foreign diplomatic representatives.
 Marquis Ito dined with the emperor and the crown prince, and was shown the most distinguished consideration during his stay here.
 The visit of the marquis has resulted fin fully reassuring the Coreans, allay- ing all doubts as to the intentions of the Japanese government and paving the way for the extension of Japanese influence in Corea. The marquis has continually advised careful deliberation on the part of the Coreans and the gradual adoption of the reform meas sures suggested, and opposed any in crease in the army. The acceptance of the Japanese advice is now beyond question.
 The mission of Marquis Ito has les sened the political friction and has made easier the task of those who ul- timately may advise the Corean gov ernment.
 The Coreans will send return mis- sion to the Mikado. The ministers de- sire that Vi Chi Ting Ep, minister of foreign affairs, should go to Japan as Corea's representative. The hesitancy of this minister to accept the appoint ment is not due to his identification with the pro-Japanese party in Corea.

 St. Petersburg, March 27, p. m.-vice Admiral Makaroff, commanding the Russian naval forces at Port Arthur, has sent the following telegram to the emperor:
 T beg most humbly to report that at two o'clock this morning the enemy made second attempt to block the en- trance to the inner roadstead. For this purpose they dispatched four large mer- chant steamers. conveyed by six torpe- do boats to the entrance.
 "The enemy's ships were promptly discovered by the search lights and were bombarded by the batteries and by the guardships Bohr and Otvajny.
 Fearing the enemys ships might break through, Lieutenant Krinizki, commanding the guard torpedo boat Silni, attacked the enemy and destroy ed the bow of the foremost Japanese steamer with torpedo. This steamer turned to the right and was followed < by two others with the result that the Ethree were stranded to the right of the Eentrance. A fourth steamer went to the fright of the eneny's ships and likewise |sank to the side of the fairway. The | Silni then battled with the enemy |six torpedo boats.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
WILLIAM J BRYAN SPEAKS ON
 RELIGIOUS LIFE.

Address Delivered at Afternoon Service
 of Peoples Church Held ut Hyperion
 --Brothcriy Love sagsested as Only
 Solution of Labor DifficuIties-Appea
 to college Hren to Cling to Religion.
 "The Prince of Peace" was the sub ject of a speech that was very nearly a sermon by William Jennings Bryan at the Hyperion theater yesterday af- ternoon. It was the regular service of the Peoples church, at which the fam ous orator appeared, and he was intro duced by the pastor, Rev. Alexander F, Irvine
 Preceding the appearance of MT. Bry- an, hymns were sung and stereopticon views were interpreted as to their re- ligious significance by Mir. Irvine. Thus it was that the audience of more than 2,000 people was in a receptive mood for MT. Bryan's speech.
 MT. Bryan chose the title of his ad- dress from the Old Testament passage in which the prophet foreteIls the com- ing of a saviour and proclaims him as the Prince of Peace" It was the sig nificance of this title and the hope it inspired of a coming age of peace and fraternity among men that formed the major theme of the address.
 Mir. Bryan referred to the war in the Far East and to the present day strug- gle between capital and labor. Regard ing the former he said that not the sell fish consideration of commercial aGlvan- tage but the sense ftof justice should sway our feelings and evoke our sym pathy. But he expressed no partiality for either side and left his hearers spec ulating as to whether his utterances could be interpreted as an indication of Q feeling on his part for the Japanese or for the Russians.
 His utteranees on capital and labor squared with his tone throughout when he said: There is much talk just now of the rights of labor and the rights of capital. Every year the feeling is a little more bitter between the two Must 1t be that the capitalist if strong enough shall rule? And is the only alternative to have the laborer rule, if strong enough? The only solution os the broth erhood of man. The laborer must re- ceive the capitalist as his brother and the capitalist must receive the laborer as his brother" This sentiment reused cheers and roar of applause from the audience.
 In commencing his address MT. Bry- an said that he was especially pleased to have an opportunity to address col lege men and that his words would be meant for them particularly, even more than for the women and the older men of the audience. His reason, as he gave

They board ed one of the steamers as soon as it stopped, cut the electric wires and ex- tinguished the fire which would have lit up the entrance of the harbor to the enemy in the roadstead.
 Tn the morning floating mine was found bearing an internal machine but the latter was successfully removed.
 Inspection made showed that the steamers utilized as fireships were not old. They were each of about two thousand tons and they were armed with light caliber guns.'

 Naples, March 27.-On the invitation of Emperor William, Ambassador Mey- CT came to Naples from Rome to-day and dined with his majesty on board the German imperial yacht Hohenzol- Tern.

 The ambassador and the abbot were the only guests of the emperor, who jokingly said that it was an American dinner.
 At the request of the emperor Am bassador Meyer accompanied him and Father Krug to Monte Cassino, where they visited the abbey and admired the work of restoring the famous mosaics there.
 Speaking of the condition of the em- peror, Ambassador Meyer said: "Em- peror William looks extremely well, just as he did when I saw him at Kiel last summer. His voice is as strong as ever, and he is in excellent health"

BARRED FROM HIS PULPIT.
Sensational End of the Pa.rora,s of a
 clexsland MInistsr.

Cleveland, March 27.-The pastorate of Rev. J. Afford Fisher, of the Frank lin Avenue Congregational church, was terminated to-day in a sensational manner, Mir. Fisher being barred from the pulpit during the morning service. after he had expressed views on the Bible too liberal to suit a part of his congregation. The service broke up in disorder.
 MT. Fisher has. since coming to the church last November, been charged with too liberal views in his pulpit ut terances, and he had been asked to re- sign. At the morning service, when Mir Fisher declared that the Bible had been made fetich by many people, Deacon Thomas Henderson arose in his seat and said that Mir Fisher came to the church under false pretenses; that he had accepted the pastorate as a minis ter of the gospel The congregation then took sides with and against the minister, and number of persons nov ed toward the pulpit which Mir. Fisher had just left. He was not allowed to re-enter.

ITO MORE NEGROES KILLED.
,.eaders of unrusy E.ement Wiped Out
 at st. oharies, Ark.

at St charles, Ark.
 Little Rock. Ark, March 27.-A spe- cial to the Gazette from Dewitt says:
 Two more negroes have been killed in the clash between whites and blacks at St. Charles, fifteen miles from here, in Arkansas county This brings the total of dead negroes up to thirteen, all killed within the past week.
 The last two negroes killed were the Griffin brothers, Henry and Walker. They were the cause of the trouble, which originated in an assault they made upon two white men, named Searcy, on Monday The Searcys were dangerously and probably fatally in- jured.
 In the St. Charles neighborhood the negroes largely outnumbered the whites and trouble had been brewing for a long time. It is now believed that the leaders of the unruly element have been killed and that further trouble will be avoided.
 Near St. Charles the negroes are quiet and are attending strictly to their work.

cause of Its High Price.
 The State Agricultural station in this city has just issued it's eighth report on human food products. pamphlet of 90 pages.
 Over HOO samples have been examin- ed. Aside for the work done for the dairy commissioner and individuals, the station has paid special attention to plain and sweet chocolate, pepper, cof- fee, whole and ground, and lard:
 Of 40 samples of chocolate examined, Il were adulterated within the meaning of the law. The adulterants were quite harmless to health, usually foreign starchy matters used as make-weights and dilutents. The names of both the pure and the adulterated brands are given in separate tables. It is stated that Premium Chocolate" a common trade name at present, means nothing more than mass of chocolate with a blue wrapper and a yellow label The Compound Chocolates contain with the chocolate various amounts of wheat or corn starch, and one contained g. for eign fat, probably cocoanut oil.
 Each of the F samples of whole cof- fee examined was found to be pure, while out of 29 samples of ground cof- fee, were adulterated with chicory, imitation coffee-brown Jumps of wheat flour or middlings-or pellets made of pea hulls.
 Lard is very largely adulterated at present because of it's high price. Of 130 samples sold for lard, 6S, or nearly one-half, were mixtures of lard and cot ton seed oil or of beet stearin and cot ton seed oil.
 In general, it would appear that the adulteration of food products is very common at present and, as rule, the adulterants are not injurious to health.
 The report also contains notes on methods of analysis and papers on the microscopic structure and Identification of various seeds likely to occur as ac- cidental impurities or as adulterants in food products.
 The report will be sent free to all citizens of the state who apply for it at the Agricultural station, New Haven, Conn.
