London stock Exchange.

London. April 2.-Business on the stock exchange last week was gener- ally quiet, attention being largely oc- cupied with the settlement. The Jap anese loan attracted much attention. It is announced that applicants for s1O.0O0 and under get $500. bidders for s2O,OOO get $1,OOO and those bidding for over $50,000 get five per cent Prices for securities were well main tained The chief factors during the week were the promises of early cheap money and the various peace negotia- tion rumors. The contradiction of these latter at the end of the week had no material effect here, while Paris re- gently has been buying Russian bonds rather freely, Investment buying ap- pears to be broadening. American se- curities were largely governed by Wall Street and fuctuated widely and lrreg- ularly. but finished the week about un- changed.

and Pass Each Other.
 Rome, April 2.-The Simplon tunnel. the longest in the world. was inau- gurated this morning when from the Swiss and Italian sides the first trains passed through. meeting at the cen tire. where there was the iron door placed to prevent an overflow of a torrent of hot water and which today was opened for the first time. Engi- neer Brandau. who had directed the work on the tunnel conducted the Ital- ian train, which for a part of the way was lighted by miners with lanterns.
 The train from the Italian end was the first to reach the iron door. but a little later the train from the Swiss side was heard on the other side of the door. There was a brief time spent in communicating through the doors by means of hammering and finally the door was knocked down amidst frantic applause and cries of Long Live Switzerland' and Long live It. ally" Bands playtd the Italian royal march and the Swiss anthem, and the two parties embraced and kissed each other.
 Engineer Brandau shook hands with Engineer Rosemond. the director of the work on the Swiss side, and the Italian Bishop Noveara, embraced the Swiss Bishop Sion. The latter then preached a short sermon in the course of which he said:

GLADDEN. TALKS AGAIN
HIS MIND NOT YET EASY ABOUT
 ROCKEFELLER GIFT.
Before His Church fin ohio C0nRrega- tionalist Minister Has q Few Things to Say About "the
 Christian of Today"

Columbus, O., April 2.-The Rev. Dr.
 Washington Gladden.. Moderator of the | General Council of Congregational Churches. preaching at the First Con- gregational Church this morning upon The Christian of Today" said The Christian of today is beginning to get a new idea of what 1t means to carry his religion into his business he
 has found out that It signifies an earn
 est effort to make his business not only 1 a means of gain, but an instrumental | ity of help and service to all his fel- | lowmen.
 Andrew Carnegie. said some years | ago. for instance. that man may be as selfish as he pleases in accumulation of fortune, if he will only be benevolent
 in the distribution of the fortune after 1 it is made.
 That is not the best theory of the l business mans responsibility. His greatest opportunity of benevolence are those which come to him in his
 business. It Is while he is making his fortune, not after it is made, that he | must prove himself a Christian. Gifts, no matter how munificent
 which have been gained by extorttion and trickery. are not Christian bene- factions.
 Some of the most gigantic robbers that the world has ever known-men who have accumulated hundreds of mill lions by wicked methods-are by some persons praised and fiattered for their liberal gifts to churches and colleges and missions. Such an estimate does not represent the Christianity of to- day.
 '"The Christian of today distinctly sees that the Christianization of the great realm of industry and traffic is the most urgent problem now before them. It Is a tremendous undertaking, but not too arduous for the all-con- que.rIng Grace of Him who has ban ished infanticde, abolished slavery, and lifted woman to an equality with man.
 The State is just as truly divine in- stitution as the church is and the Gov ernor, the Mayor. the Superintendent of Police, the member of Legislature. or the City Council. or the School Board. Is just as much minister and servant of God as I am.
 T have just as good a right to use my opportunity here in this church to enrich myself or to push my per- sonal ambitions as they have; if the scandal in the case of a pastor would be greater than in that of a public ser want 1t is only because our notions about the service of the State have been terribly perverted"

They produce lists of names with the amounts to be collected from each and require the contributor to sign his name opposite these assessments, which range from $2.50 to $50.

LoUIsvILLE's PROGRAM.
How Kentucky Metropolis Will Well
 come the PreRIdent.

Louisville, Ky, April 2.--Louisville's welcome to President Roosevelt Tues day will be purely a civilian affair The local committee headed by Hon. Logan c. Murray, considered careful ly the matter of giving the President a befitting reception but decided that owing to the short time the executive will be in the city that 1t was better to make his short stay not only typ teal Kentucky welcome but a process sion of representatives of North and South in State bordering as 1t does both sections of the country.
 The military feature. therefore. has been eliminated and beyond the camp of Confederate Veterans, two posts of Grand Army men, the Spanish War Veterans Association, and representa- tives of the Loyal Legion, the process sion which will escort the President during his three hours stay in the city will be composed of representative cit izens of Louisville, men of the North and of the South, and a few invited guests from the State at large.
 The route from the point of arrival is in Third Street to Broadway, thence to Fourth, where 1,2O0 pupils of the Boys and Girls High Schools will wei come the President with a song. and after the Grand Army posts a camp of Confederate Veterans and the Spanish War Veterans fall in line, the process sion will continue through the retail district to the court house. Governor Beckham will introduce the President. After the speaking the parade will pro- ceed over short route in the business district. Before the President takes his departure he will be presented with three gifts intended as souvenirs of his visit, but nevertheless of a histori- cal character. One Is a silver hagon filled with water from the spring on the farm in Larue County on which Abraham Lincoln was born. On the fagon is a monogram comprising the letters TT. R."
 Another piece is a large silver vase on which Is engraved Louisville, Ky, April 4, 1905." The third gift is an unique piece in the shape of an ink stand It was made from an oak tree which grew near the spring on the old Lincoln homestead. The inkhold- CT is of silver sunk into the wood.

With General Kuroki's Army in the field. April 1, via Fusan.-Two detach- ments of Japanese cavalry have re- turned to the army after the most ex- tensive and dangerous scouting ex- ploit of the war. The attachments were sent north early in January un- der the leadership of Colonel Naganu- ma and Major Sasegawa and numbered each one hundred and fifty men.
 Only one hundred men of each de- tachment returned. They explored the Russian positions west of Mukden. They encountered and eluded many forces of Russian cavalry and pene- trated General Mistchenko's line. Then going northward they crossed the rail- road, cutting the road and the tele- graph line during the battle. After wards they visited Kirin and explored that place and finally returned to the army north of Kaiyuan.

Russia fs More Interested Than in
 Developments.
 St. Petersburg, April 3.--(1:05 a. m.) Emperor Williams speech at Tangier and prospective developments there- from engross the attention of the Rus sian newspapers almost to the exclu- sion of peace decision. Her treaty re- lations with France and the friendly attitude of Germany during the war. the difhcu1ties of floating further loans to assist France and the absence of assistance on which unofi1- cial Russia at least had vaguely count ed, incline the scales somewhat in fa- vor of the western neighbor whose be- nevolent neutrality pledge enables Russia to place in the field Manchu- rian army so well supplied with artil- lery.
 Decided pleasure is also expressed at the rocks encountered by the new entente. The Russ terms the visit of the German emperor at Tangier a demonstration against the entente and points out that refusal of Emperor William to recognize French pretensions must deeply impress the Morroccans to the disadvantage of both France and Britain.
 The Russ says, "A grouping of powers in Western Europe has begun and perhaps we are on the eve of great developments in national events.
 The Novesti sees in the German Elm peror's supposed pleasure trips to Jerusalem. Constantinople aud Tan gier. a fixed plan to uphold Turkey in Morocco and create a "Mussulman peril" which is Germany's answer to Great Britain's yellow peril" The paper expressed the belief that 1t will result in strengthening the bond be- tween Great Britain and France, the embitterment of the feeling between France and Germany and increased aramaments, but there is no possibility of war. since Berlin fully comprehends the madness of a conflict with Great Britain and France allied.
 In the discussion of peace prospects several papers refer to the Associated Press despatches which have been re- telegraphed from New York, laying special stress on tho statement that negotiations were originated by Rus sia. but avoid any extensive editorial comment.

Mexico City. April 2.-Precautions have been taken by the Government and the large banks to prevent a sharp rise in exchange as the result of the speculative movement believed to have been planned to take place just as the new monetary system goes into effect. That something of the sort would be attempted was foreseen some months ago.
 It is said that there has been ex- tensive buying of exchange at the present low rate In the hope of sharp advance. One of the largest banks has refused to sell exchange to brokers and private bankers and has merely met the needs of commercial houses. It is the purpose of the Government to make .he transit Jn tn ths new ,ystem as early as possible.
