The Moscow municipal council is also report ed to have sent an ultimatum to the Elm peror, demanding the promulgation of a constitution
 Although it is impossible officially to confirm these reports, they seem to admit of no doubt that the anti-government forces have the upper hand.
 The government Is no longer in com- munication with the forces in the far east, except by cable by way of China. The situation cannot well be exaggera- ted With the present indecision of the Emperor, the government has neither a head nor policy to meet the crisis, and things seem to be drifting towards an- arehy. The revolutionists openly declare that the government has ceased to exist and that nothing remains to his majesty except to abdcate. With firm hand at the helm, and a national policy however, all might quickly be changed

First, we must treat the Chinese right. disarm their dstrust with justice, deserve their confidence and friendship by courtesies and kind treatment, and all will be well.
 we will have no easy task to win this great trade as other nations are on the qui vive with trade already established; and yet still another restless energetic nation quivering with dynamic activity Is advancing with rapids strides. devel- oplng along all lines' and is paying par ticular attention today to manufacture ing and the opportunities in China, not ably in Manchurla to which many thous- ands of yards of heavy drills and sheet ings are shipped by tho American mills. Why these Japanese are so restless to get to work and take advantage of the great opportunities brought about by the brilliant victories attending their arms that the plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth recently took advantage of a temporary adjournment in the peace proceedings to examine the great cotton mills of New England. These bright people are not go- ing to waste any time or opportunities.
 and we must be up and doing if we do not want to be out-stripped ih the trade of tho Orient. The problem there will take
 sustained effort; 1t is not esay; 1t must be worked out Nit sauerem schweiss' Trade With China.

Then there were other articles of man. ufactured cotton exported to all other countries, such as waste from cotton mills
 wearing apparel and yarns amounting to sS,345,53S. from which we see that the total exports of all manufactured cottons

 Promise of the God of Hosts.
 'I must believe the God of hosts has vouchsafed these people what he has promised us; who knows but that this promise was made to the Chinese long before 1t was to the great Levlte? The Chinese are said to worship the spirits of their ancestors; truly noble wor- ship as far as 1t goes; show me a man who does not venerate his ancestors and keep their memories fresh in the domes- tic sanctuary, and who does not en- deayor to live so that his posterity may take pride in the good name of their forbears, and 1 will show you a man dead to all the higher and nobler im- pulses of this life. This pride of an cestry, accentuated into worship, in the case of the Chinese has been a char acteristic of some of the greatest peo- pies on earth; the Chinese religion in this respect corresponds to the worship of the tutelary deities of the ancient Ro- mans, the Lares and the Names, which occupied such a prominent place in tkeir religion devotion would that we had more filial plety in this country and the beneficial effects which would accom- pany 1t.
 For centuries the country was ruled by western Tartars, who overrun It. to protect themselves from these invading Tartars and Mongols, the great Chinese wall was built 20 feet high and 40 feet wide it's full length Is about 1500 miles; 1t crosses rivers and mountains, some oi the mountains being 5000 feet high.
