Hartman system and the change / n
equipment will be made Immediately,
beginning with the Union Pacific road.
These trains are to be equipped with
storage batteries which will give sufn-
cient current to operate the lights
while the trains are standing at sta
lions. Before starting on the run these
batteries will be charged at the round
house, N then the rotation of the AK
les will propel the motors as long as
the train is in motion.
BY this change in equipment the
management of the Hartman system
expects greatly to reduce the loss in
wrecks, both of mail, company proper
ty and human lives.
The mail clerks, who are clamoring
for better protection in the shape of
more substantially built cars for their
use, are much pleased over the an.
nouncement that the Hartman lines
will abandon the use of gas on their
mail trains. Railroad employees gener-
ally appreciate the orders, for the dan
ger Of great loss of life in wrecks is ex-
pected to be materially lessened.

MANILA PEOPLE

Memorial Service for Murdered Mis-
sionaries Filled the Presbyterian
Church in Capital to Last Foot of
Room-otferins Taken to Rebuild
Destroyed Buildings.
SPECIAL to The Republican.

Manila, P. l., March 22.-Troubled
conditions in China are perhaps a
greater source of solicitude here than
they are among the people of the Unit
ed States, and the massacre OF the
Presbyterian missionaries last fall at
Lien Chow made a profound impress
sion here, not only among the church
people of Manila, but among all Ameri-
can and Europeon residents.
Memorial Service Held.
The deep interest was made manifest
when a memorial service for the muir
dered missionaries was held in the
First Presbyterian church of Manila
a few lays ago. The temporary chapel
used by the congregation was crowded
to the doors, and although additional
chairs were brought in, filling all avail
able space, many had to stand through
out the service. 1t was the largest
gathering ever assembled in the Manila
Presbyterian church.
Would Not Ask Indemnity.
The story of Lien Chow was told by
Rev. Lewis B. Hills, and Rev. DR.. Stea-
ly B, Rossiter, the Presbyterian pastor
here, who was formerly pastor Of the
North Presbyterian church of New
York, made a stirring address on he
Justification OF foreign missions. An
offering was made to help in the re-
construction of the Lien Chow mission
buildings. The Presbyterians of Ma
Mia express themselves as greatly
pleased that the board of foreign mis-
sions refused to ask indemnity for the
deathe of its missionaries.
Blood Has No Money Value.
AS DR.. Rossiter states the feeling:
I'VE are proud to know hat our blood
is not measured by money value. All
missionaries here, and l u not all
in this oriental field, feel a Willingness
to die for the Lords cause If need be-
but we want the full valuation OF the
sacrifice, and that would be diminished
by an indemnity. If die we must, let
us have the full glory Of the martyrs
crown"

terrain church, which it is hoped to com
