Thus when began the study of the
tragic events Of Joshua's life did not
think they were very unusual. If JOSH
ia by the strength Of his own arm had
won the battles they would have been
wonderful, but the victories were not
won alone by the Jewish captain. They
were won by the Lord God Almighty,
who said to the new leader: There
shall not any man be able to stand be-
fore thee all the days of thy life; as
was with Moses so will be with thee.

When see the destruction of the city

read of the combination Of the five
kings against Joshua, L expect to find
that he was overwhelmed, but when
read of his victory | know that the
God whom the sun and the stars obey
must have fought for him. In the his
tory Of our own nation has not God
fought for us? How otherwise would
the inexperienced general whose birth
we are about to celebrate have tri-
umphed over his naughty foe?

Because with our nearsighted vision we
cannot see the end from the beginning

CHINA's TRADE IS ENORMOUS
Says that If Boycott Continues Even
the Chinese Government Win Be Un-
able to ccntrol it and . Serious Stu
alton Will Thus Be Created.

Berkeley, Nov. 2l.-Horace Davies, q
former president of the State Univer.
sity and prominently connected with the
Pacific coast trade with the Orient. de.
clared today in q lecture on that sub
jeet before the College Of Commerce, a
branch of the university, the boycott on
American goods in China to be menace
to American interests in the Orient, ere.
ating a situation so serious that the
Chinese Government finds itself power
less to control it. This untoward con.
dition, he attributed TO the harsh ad-
ministration of the American exclusion
laws.
Speaking of the possibilities of the
trade with China alone, he said;
"The Chinese now have foreign COM
merce amounting to about Sl.25 head
per year. Japan has in forty years de-
veloped a commerce, running up from
nohing 10 about $3.50 per person a year,
or about s26O,OOO,OOO per year altogeth-
er If China can be made to develop
such trade as this, in the same time,
it would amount to about 5000.
Now China's foreign commerce is $685.
100000 What this great growth would
mean to all the countries taking part in
supplying China's needs can easily be
understood. If Chimp could oyer be
made to develop foreign commerce
equaling per capita, the commerce of
this country, it would amount to the
stupendous total of sl3,OOO,OO0,OOO a
year, an amount almost inconceiyable.

Moscow, Nov. 2l.-Sentiment in the

10 the side Of Count Witte and 1t now
seems probable that large majority
of delegates will favor resolution to

sion Of the Armstrong Investigating
Committee today by the testimony OF
John 4. Nichols, lawyer under retainer
by the Equitable Life. Depew was un'
able to recall who was meant by the
"cantankcrous friend" but to-day Mich
ois disclosed series of payments to
". s. Manning, former actuary who
was connected with the investigation OF
insurance companies in 1877.
Attorney Hughes inquired as to the
report that Manning was in possession
Of information suppressed during this
investigation, detrimental to the insur'
ance companies. Nichols did not recall
the suppression of information, but de-
tailed the payment Of sums OF money
over a considerable period, to Manning
as an inducement TO give up his bnsi-
ness as actuary. in which capacity he be-
lieved Manning was a menace to the
Equitable.
Senator Platt on the Stand.
Aside from the disclosures OF Nichols,
the feature OF the day was the apear'
auce of Senator Platt. who did not hesi'
tate to tell of the contributions OF the
insurance companies to the state cam
paigns. The Equitable, the Mutual and
the New York Life were the only com
NAMES that made such contributions.
The Equitable contributed regularly
$4,000 to the state campaigns, the Mu'
t,al Life the same sum frequently, and
the New York Life not as large as
amount only occasionally. The Senator
said he was expected to influence the
legislature when any legislation appear
ed hostile to the companies.
Senator Platt said he believed he had
asked President McCurdy for a contri-
button when the need was very great
He had however, never been asked TO
use his influence on any measure before
the Legislature nor had he ever done so.
lie knew nothing about contributions to
the National campaign.
Gage L. Tarbell was also a witness
again today. His testimony consisted OF
an explanation of the exigeney system,
and the manner of arriving at commits
sion.

Halifax, Nov. 2l.-The violent storm
of last week has apparently claimed an
other victim. A two-masted schooner
is thought to have gone to the bottom
Thursday, off Beaver Harbor, so miles
from Halifax. Her identity is not es-
tablished and as far as can be ascer-
tained, not one of the crew survived.
News of the disaster was brought to
Halifax tonight by the steamer kilkeel.
While heading into Beaver Harbor
Thursday and the Kilkeel observed an
other steamer behind. When the Kill
keel reached her haven, unknown had
passed to the West of Horse Island near
the harbor entrance, which hid her hull,
Great Cloud Is Seen.
Suddenly great cloud of smoke or
steam shot upward and when it had
cleared away, the masts of the incom-
ing steamer had vanished. The officers
of the Kilkeel are positive she went to
the bottom. They believe she struck q
rock and foundered. and that her boilers
exploded.
OF Ship Harbor, thirty miles West Of
Halifax, a large schooner, bottom up,
was passed by the Kilkeel, making the
fourth wreck reported within two days.
The schooner was not identified.

Norfolk, Nov. 2l.-The three-masted
schooner William Converse. from Port
Royal to New York with lumber, was
towed into Norfolk tonight, with all the

The Converse had thrilling expert

went one by one. Her steering gear
next became injured and she rolled in
the trough of the sea as the heavy seas
swept over her.
Water was pouring into her hold
through the strained seams, when the
steamer Rescue went to her assistance
