Poetry here rises into prophecy.
The rudiments of empire have round
ed into form. California, Oregon and
Washington are great states teeming
with millions of intelligent, enterpris-

mighty change wrought upon the Pa

years is on exhibition here today.
When Lewis and Clark came to this
country the Pacific ocean rolled un
vexed by mans dominion, but now it
is the highway for an immense and
expanding commerce. Steam and cleo

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.-The
Russian press this morning still ad-
vocated more vigorously than ever
the sumoning of national assembly,
even the reactionary Sviet joining in
the general chorus, In view of the
cuHent rumors, 1t is most significant
that the papers which are more or
less in the confidence Of the govern
ment unanimously take the position
that the representatives OF the peo-
Pile should decide the question OF
peace or war. All censorship is now
removed from foreign dispatches and
the people are appalled, at the hor-
rible reports of slaughter on board
the Russian ships. The Admiralty
has not yet been able to estimate
even approximately, from foreign ad-
vices, the loss of men, but the ships
were over rather than undermanned,
so the total will be greater than the
ordinary.
The complements Of the vessels
would indicate and probably will ex-
coed 10000, If only about 1000 were
saved.

This name was probably given the
followers of Jesus Christ by the

the famous capital city of Syria; for
II is not likely that the lisciples would
apply to themselves the holy name
of their Lord. and the Jews would
be still less likely 10 admit Jesus
messiahship by using the term. But
the disciples would naturally be de-
signated by this name by the heather
with whom they came in daily con
tact and discussion, The word means
simply ''Adherents of the Christ" So
an historic term was coined and sent
into circulation.
In the text the words" disciples
and Christians are used as exact
equivalents; and this fact supplies us
with the precise definition of the
word Christian" j. e.. "a disciple
