King Alfonso Meets With an Enthusias-
tic Reception.

Paris, June king Alfonso accom-
panied by President Loubet and with d
brilliant military escort, yesterday visit
ed the Invalides, Pantheon, Notre Dame
and other historic spots, returning to
the D'Orsay Palace.
Along the route the King met with
an enthusiastic reception from vast
crowds of people. During the drive hls
youthful idea Of military precision led
him to stand up while saluting the
French flag, and it required the friendly
insistence of Mr.. Loubet to induce the
King to salute the flag while sitting, in
order to prevent him from being thrown
out OF the carriage.
Speaking to one of the French off
GERS, the King jocularly remarked that
Hi he heard any Kisses he intended SAL
luting the hissers. However, the rigid
police precautions prevented any dem.
onstrations on the part of the anarchis-
tic element.
The King lunched at tile Spanish EN-
bassy, and received the Spanish colony
there.

gala performance at the opera.

Walls OF WRATH.
Russian Press Flags Evils of the Bu-
reaucracy.

reaucracy.
st. Petersburg, June 1.-The catastro-
phe which has oyertaken the Russian
fleet has given a tremendous impetus
to the demand upon Emperor Nicholas
for the immediate convocation Of a ma
tional assembly without awaiting action
upon the report of the Bouligan rescript
commission. With the single exception
Of the reactionary Sviet, the press pours
out Indignation and wrath upon the
bureaucracy, which is held responsible
for all the misfortunes of the war. Only
the Novesti and the Bourse Gazette,
however, declare that peace should be
concluded. The Russ, now the widest
read paper in Russia, says:
"Those guilty of Russia's disgrace
should be overwhelmed with shame.
The death Of half million men,
the Russ continues, 'and the loss of
billions of money is the price of the
rejection Of progress and western civili-
cation. Sebastopol struck the shackles
from the serfs, and Port Arthur, Muk-
den and Tsu island should free Russia
from the slavery of the bureaucracy
The Sloyo, another popular paper, is
even more bitter. It says:
Thought Blindfolded for 200 years,
the Russian people have been marching
to the brink Of destruction, but the
bandages are now torn from the eyes
of 130,o00,000 Russians and they viii

pice. Let the people speak The bu-
reaucracy has had its say and has
crowned ifs work of uat;nral shame
and humiliation. Let it now listen to
what those who have suffered in silence
and who have supported it in luxury
have to say. From this moment con-
vocation Of the people has become as
necessary as the air we breathe.
IF the bureaucracy this time stands
between the emperor and the nation
let it bewarel Let it remember the
lessons Of Russian history--the history

The Student Strike In Russia.

The university student in Russia,
with rare exceptions, belongs to the
liberal party. It seems to have be-
come tradition that the students at.
titude should be strongly agains the
government. This is in large measure
explained by the fact that the student
class suffers more than any other
from the arbitrary regulations OF the
police and censor. Each faculty Ia
provided with it's subinspector, and
his staff. At first / took these uni
formed "spies" for janitors, but after

sisted simply in remembering the full
name of each student, in getting &C.
quainted, as far as possible. with the
voices Of those who seemed to be the
leaders, in order to recognize them
even from behind closed doors. In
the gymnasia, corresponding to our
high and preparatory schools, the re-
gulations are even more strict than
in the universities, and there is no
evidence Of organized protest. Like
wise, on leaving the university, the stu
dent finds himself struggling against
the bureaucratic machine, and grad
ually submits and accepts it as in
evitable. There is small conserva-
tive element in the student body, but
it does not form an.opposition party
and can be disregarded, since 1t ex-
erts little or no influence on the gen.
eral trend of student activities.-The

They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter-
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation is not IN harmony

that a single body shall have the right

~Theu Art My Light"

A touching incident was narrated by
DR.. r. F. Horton on the second Sunday
after his return from months Of treat
ment by a celebrated German oculist.
He was waiting in the oculist's con-
sulting room, not knowing whether or
not the remainder of his life was to
be passed in darkness. when he put his
hand into his pocket and drew out his
little Bible-not to read it. but to see If
be could. AS he opened it his eyes fell
on the text:
"For Thou are my lamp, o Lord;
and the Lord will tighten my dark
ness"
Il had not been aware OF the very
existence Of this text" he said, "and
do not know who but an angel could
have led me to it; but 1 felt that,
whether I received my sight or not,
those words were enough for me, and
from that tine seemed to know that
I should continue to proclaim the words

Duty Above Life.

Life is a matter of very small ac-
count to any one in comparison with
duty-doing, whether man realizes
this truth or not. Whatever is worth
living for is worth dying for, If dying
be an incident to its pursuing. When
the Roman General, Po:npey, was
warned against the danger Of his re-
turning from Egypt to Italy, to meet
new trouble in his own land, his
heroic answer was: 1T is small mat
ter that should move forward and
die. It is too great matter that |
should take one step backward and
live" Life is never we'll lived when
it is held dearer than duty. He who
would tell lie in order to live is will
ing to pay a great deal larger price for
his life than that life is worth to him.
