YIN. G. A. Gets Into Japanese Army.

Early i'll January, before trouble be-
gan between Russia and Japan. the
Young Mems Christian Association in
the latter country undertook to do for
the soldiers of the japanese army what
the American Associations did for the
enlisted men in the Spanish American
war At the outbreak of hostiltities
in February application was made to
the General Staff of the Japanese
army and the services of the Japanese
Associations were offered. The offic-
ers were against the proposition. Only
Buddhist priests were to be allowed
to go with the army. The prevailing
sentiment was anti Christian. Permis-
sion was indefinitely postponed, al
though many educated and pro- Christ
ian leaders supported the application.
Only after months of delay and through
pressure brought to bear by eminent
japanese and by several of the for
eign ministers in their personal ca
pacity, orders were given permitting
Associations to send six Japanese and
six foreign men forward with the
troops. -Four of the Japanese are MEM
bers of the National Committee of the
Associations of Japan, one of the men
is an American Association secretary
and five are missionaries. The Evan
gelical A lance and the Missi onary
Union of Japan cooperate with the
Association, which is an interdenom-
national action of unusual significance
on the foreign field. simultaneously
with allowing correspondents of the
press to 20 to the front, the Assooia-
tion Representatives were accorded the
same privilege. The Associations will
establish tents, containing correspond
enCe materials. reading matter. music
al instruments, games and such feat
ures as may be provided for social and
relief purposes at the principal camps
in Korea as far north as the Yalu Riv-
er, in which section over 100, 900 men
are concentrated. Between 800, 900 and
400, 600 men have been mobilized and
will go to the front, passing largely
through the camps where the Associa-
tion will operate.

To Remove a Mountain.

In the course of few weeks the ID.
l.. & W. r. r. will begin the gigantic
task of removing the best part of the
mountain belowI.Water1 Gap. The
mountain is not in the way of the
railroad but the fine granite makes ex-
cellent ballast and it is proposed to
crush sufficient stone from the noun
tain to ballast the entire road from
Hoboken to Binghamton.
A huge crushing plant is now being
installed. An idea of the magnitude
OF the undertaking can be realized
when 1t is stated that the capacity of
the plant is expected to reach one hun
dred car loads day.
The task of installing the crusher
abounds with engineering difficulties.
The mountain side is unusually steep
and track is now being built to a
distance of forty feet above the per-
manent way. 70 do this heavy re-
tanning wall has to be built to secure
foundation Tor the track. The crush
er will also be installed at this height.
The machinery was manufactured at
the Allis Chalmers plant in Scranton
and was especially made to crush the
stone found at the Delaware Water
Gap.
In the opinion of experts, the stone
is the very best for ballasting pur-
poses. being that used for mscadamiz-
ing roads.
A the rate of one hundred car loads
day it is evident, Immediately, that
the mountain will soon disappear.
1t is figured that to ballast the road
its entire length almost all the stone
in the mountain will be needed

New York, Feb. 5.-The drop in cotton
prices was continued today soon after

at IA. decline of 120 points, or cent
and one-fifth per pound since yesterday.
rho selling was so heavy that the mar
Aet seemed to be completely demoralized
During the decline rumors of all kinds
were circulated.
Commission houses holding large lircs
OF cotton which were either not sold on
the advance or were bought on the br X
yesterday on the theory of reaction,
threw thousands of bales on the market
for whatever prices they would bring.
At the opening many thousand bacS
of both May and July cotton were bought
by the bull pool and this succeeded for
a time in stemming the decline. Ry tax

brokers' succeeded in holding the market
and with other brokers covering short
cotton prices advanced about half a cent
IN fifteen minutes. Then another way
OF liquidation swept over the lit and it
soon became evident that the power OF
one individual or set of individual Is
was not great enough to prevent a crash.
The buying was no more than drop
