ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.-Prince
Troubetskoy, the president of the
zemstvo congress of Moscow, is quoted
in an interview today as strongly op-
posing the principle of class representa-
ton in the coming national assembly.
He declares that only universal suf-
frage, whether direct or indirect, will
satisfy the mass of the people, as well
as the leaders of the reform movement.
"The imperial douma," he added,
must be independent of the council
of the empire. The former must deal
directly with the crown. 1t must be
deliberative at first and it will develop
into true Legislative body. Freedom to
attend meetings is indispensable. With
out this reform is dead letter."
The recommendation of the governor
OF Irkusk that a general amnesty be
granted to political prisoners in Siberia
has been rejected.

Affairs
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 1O.--The
Christian Endeavor convention today
considered the collective work of the
various endeavor societies and unions,
responses being made by many state
and local unions officers
A pastors conference was held at the
Central Presbyterian church, which
was led by Rev. VIM. R. Biederwolf of
Monticello, Ind, who made an address.
navy, delivered an address on pure pol
itics and religion, speaking in part as
follows:
MANY years ago story was told of
a well-known professional politician in
this city. now dead, who on his return
from church one Sunday was met by q
newspaper reporter, who remarked to
him in substances: Mr. A., I do not
understand how so regular an at
tendant at church as you are can be
also so great an adept in stufflng bal
lot boxes, fixing juries and witnesses
and plugging corporations
"'Mr. b. replied the statesman, I
never mix up politics and religion
"Of late years the American people
have shown a disposition sufficiently
plain to be widely remarked, to act
upon different principle; many of
our citizens are beginning to mix up
a good deal of what my late fellow
townsman would call religion with
what he would call politics, and the
result Of this mixture is so unpala table
and unwholesome to those of his way
of thinking that a few words as to the
real nature, causes and consequences OF
the phenomenon may be timely and not
without interest.
''In truth the mixing up of politics
and religion to which my deceased
friend referred constitutes one feature
of very notable popular movement,
in progress for some thirty years
throughout our country. After the
Civil war and the period of reconstruc-
tion the American people found time to
take stock
1.-THE underlying evil in the admins
tration of our public affairs is simply
dishonesty; our public offices are too
often held by dishonest men, too often
gained by dishonest means, too often
used for dishonest ends"
Rev. DR.. Howard B. Crosse of New
York, vice chairman of the United
Society of Christian Dndeavor. offered
prayer for President Clark's speedy
recovery. John Willis Baer assistant
secretary of the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions and secretary OF the
Worlds Christian Endeavor union, read
the annual address of the president,
Rev. DR.. Francis e. Clark.
The roll call of states followed
and was responded to by personal rep
resentatives of forty-two states and
territories OF the United States and
twelve of the foreign countries amid
much waving OF banners and cheering.
1.-THE last word" was said by Rev. j.,
e. Hill in substitution for President
Clark. Then singing the hymn. "God
Be With You Till We Meet Again" :"
the vast audience filed out OF the
Armory ana the twenty-second Chris
tian Endeavor convention was at an

SECRETARY WILSON NOT
AFRAID OF LIBEL SUIT
States That Prices Complaint About
Cotton Leak Investigation Is a
Quarrel Among Gamblers

| SN'hShA
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 1o.-That Sec
retary Wilson intends to take no step
backward in his report on the cotton
leak investigation was evidenced today
by his statement that he was not afraid
of any libel suit which might be filed
against him by Mr.. Price or others
mentioned in the report. In fact, he
said, he would welcome such action, be-
cause it might be the means of develop
ing some facts not already uncovered
which it was desirable to know.
This is quarrel among gamblers"
he said, brought about by the dissatis-
faction Of some of them in not getting
what they thought was due. 1 have
nothing to take back. AS the head of
an executive department of the govern
ment 1t was my duty and my right to
give the public the result of the inves-
tigation by the secret service agents
into the charges which had been filed,
leading up to the dismissal Of Mr..
Holmes"
The secretary added that he had
given consideration to Mr.. Prices re-
quest as presented through his attor-
ney, William M. Ivens of New York,
"to withdraw the unjust, offensive and
unsustained charges and implicati tions,"
and had reached the determination to
take no further action in the matter
He said he would not communicate

TROOPS ARE MOVING NORTH
ST. Petersbure's Latest Reports Create
Impression That oysma Is at

Decisive Blow
TROOPS ARE MOVING NORTH
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10-Al-
though ten days have elapsed since
Russia informed President Roosevelt
of her Willingness to conclude an arm
istice pending the result Of the Wash
ington conference, Japan, so far as
known to the Russian government, has
not deigned to reply to the presidents
communication.
When the question Of an armisitice
was first broached by the president 1t
is understood that Japan indicated that
she would decline to agree to sus-
pension Of hostilities until the plenipo-
tentiaries met. Russia agreed in prin-
ciple to this as the basis for negotia-
ment feels it has given ample proof of
its desire to conclude peace. But the
imression here is that now that the
Japanese have made descent on the
island of Sakhalien they are determined
to get the island firmly IN their grasp
before the negotiations begin. This is
an easy task, as the small Russian
force on the island is In no position to
contest its occupation.
In addition to marines and infantry
the Japanese are landing artillery and
cavalry. The latter are moving rap
idly north. The presumption here is
that the Russian troops will clear out
without fighting, crossing to Alexan-
drovsk on the mainland. The Novosti
says it considers Sakhalien a second
Alaska, worth ten billion dollars. 1t is
possible, however, that Japan might
agree to suspend hostilities in Man
churia, although the latest reports
from there create a strong impression
advancing for decisive blow.
