suit, has passed through st. Paul en-
route to Seattle Count Osichi is dis
speaking Of the Lena incident in San
Francisco he said:
II heard two weeks ago when in
Washington that the Lena was watch
ing for vessels bound to Japan from
Puget sound. and also heard that two
light cruisers of my country had been
detailed to take the ship. They fol-
lowed the Lena when she broke away
from the Vladivostok squadron, and
the facts that will come out when the
officers of the Lena make official re-
ports to their government will show
that somewhere in the vicinity Of Red
field reef, hundreds of miles west of
Cape Flattery, there was another ac-
tion that has not been heard Of so far.
1.-THE Lena is badly damaged, I'M
derstand, but the ship is being SO care
fully protected from investigation by
her marines and the United States gov
eminent that the nature Of the injuries
cannot positively be determined. I am
certain that the injuries are the result
of gun shots and that the gunshots
were inflicted by our little cruisers.
Somewhere off to the westward of
the Farallone islands / am confident
there are two Japanese cruisers patrol
ling the coast, watching for the at
tempt of the big Russian to come out
The captains of the ships know that
the United States government will not
allow the Lena to remain longer than
her repairs, and when she leaves the

It has long been known by those IA

aonad and religious side mere quickly
and surely than In any other way. This
has recently had startling demonstra-
ton In South Africa, where an all-em-

brought about through the esta blish-
ment OF a native church. FoNr years ago
q Wesleyan preacher OF Pretoria left his
denomination and began the organfxa-
tAon of united colored church under
the name Of the Church Of Ethiopia. /"
The idea spread swiftly through South
Africa, surrounding tribal barriers.
The church soon got beyond the e0ecu-
tive control of it's founder, and aid was
sought from the African Methodists of
this country. So firm has the union be-
come that It is saidrto be assuming po-
Htical significance, many of the younger
negroes having raised the cry OF Africa

Flagship Grafton ordered to Watch
the Russian Cruiser Lena.
VICTORIA, b. C., Sept. 15.-H. NJ. s.
Grafton, flagship of the Pacific squad
ron, which left here some days ago to
get her annual heavy gun practice at
Comox, returned unexpectedly to Es-
quimalt early Tuesday, making the
trip from Comox to her Esquimalt
moorings under forced draft and in
record time. She is now IN Esquimalt
harbor making ready for sea and will
not finish her gun practice at present
The cause of the Grafton's return
from the trip to Comox is connected
with the sudden appearance of the
Russian armed auxiliary cruiser Lena
at San Francisco. 1t is understood the
Grafton is under cabled orders from
the British admiralty to protect British
shipping on the American side of the
Pacific at all costs. 1t depends upon
the decision of the United States gov
eminent regarding the Lena whether
the Grafton win proceed south to
watch and If any British merchantmen
be molested capture and sink her.
Should the American governments
decision be an order to the Lena to
quit San Francisco harbor within
twenty-four hours it is expected the
Grafton will leave Esquimalt harbor
at her best speed with the object Of in
tercepting the Russian vessel off the
California coast
A significant circumstance connected
with the Grafton's sudden and unex-
pected appearance at Esquimalt is that
all shore leave has been indefinitely
suspended.
