At half-past two General Booth. &C
companied by the distinguished per
sonages named and several Salvation
Army officers, entered the Council
Chamber, which was specially decorat
ed for the occasion and filled with
very large gathering of prominen
citizens
Baron Senge opened the proceeding,
and was followed by the Mayor
Baron Shibusawa read an address O.
welcome which was subsequently pre-.
scented to General Booth. Count Oku-
ma then spoke.
The Count welcomed the General
| first as a great man of England, Sec
| ondly as a man who has achieved
marvellous success in carrying on q
most important movement, and third
ly as the founder and life of an organi-
cation whose aim and activity is most
commendable. Proceeding, he said in
no other civilized country was wealth
so evenly distributed as in Japan. But
as the result of Industrial competition
this was destined to be thing of the
past, and the country would soon come
to have it's submerged tenth" Neither
legislation nor ethical teaching alone
would be able to cope with the problem
that we must sooner or later face.
The Count thought the kind of work
such as the Salvation Army conducted
would go far towards meeting the new
requirements that must needs arise.
For this reason he was in deep sympa-
thy with the work of the army.
THE GENERALS REPLY.
General Booth, who was well receiv-
ed, made a lengthy speech, most ably
interpreted by an Army officer. He
said as far as he had been able to
understand by the aid of his inter-
prefer he had listened with interest to
the address read to him by Baron
Shibusawa and the eloquent speech
which had been made by Count Okuma
He agreed with the Count that there
was room for the Salvation Army in
this great nation. A change had pass
ed over the attitude of the world with
regard to the organization he repre-
sented. A great change had passed
over the spirit of the world in it's
opinion of the nation of Japan With
regard to the Army not only was this
difference of opinion noticeable in the
ranks also. In whichever way he turn
ed the change was noticeable. In Aus
tralia. America, England, Scandinavia, |
and in Germany he was received with
favor by the mighty in the land.
In this manner General Booth re-
viewed the present position of the
Army and subsequently spoke on the
scope of its work.
His address was one of intense in |
terest no less than the personality OF /
the man himself, and it is needless to |
say that the audience was impressed. |
Subsequently an informal reception |
was held.

FORESTERS GIVE
4 LITTLE SHOW

|
| Mr.. c. s. Judd of the Yale Forest
School, in(a recent letter to Mr.. Hos
mel, written from the Yale Forest
School Aaamp in Missouri, sends the fol
lowing program which shows that along
with lot of good, hard work the For
est School men have found time to
get up show that must have been
much appreciated in the little town of
Grandin, Missouri.
1t is the custom for the senior class
in the Yale Forest School to pass the
spring term in lumber camp, study
ing logging methods. This year the
locality chosen was the 58,000-acre
tract of the J. B. White Lumber Com
pany in Shannon County, Missouri.
The work of the party has been to
make topographic map of the tract,
of short leaf pine and oaks; to run
valuation surveys to determine the
quantity of lumber to be obtained per
acre; to make studies of the rate of
growth by the analysis of fel1ed trees;
to observe the methods of logging fol-
lowed by the company and, at the
neighboring town of Grandin, to study
the process of working up the logs at
three great sawmills that have a.
capacity of combined output of 140,-
900 board feet per day.
On April IL and IS Civil Service
Examination for the position of Forest
assistant in the T. S. Forest Service
was held at Grandin, and was taken by
the majority of the 20 men in the par
ty. The show was probably given as
a sort of thank-offering that the exam
nation was pau. Mr. Judd s name does |
not appear on the program but he UNI
questionably took part in the perform
ance.

the senior class, Yale Forest School,

INFLUENCE OF LOVE.

Our work has no political meaning.
Nor has the army any organization
resembling a government. 1t has no
ambition to be looked up to as great
institution. We work under the po-
litical government of a country, in
order to save sinful and distressed
persons. At present, a Government is
asking us to take care of criminals.
In a certain colony, the government
had prison houses built and entrusted
the Army with the task of correcting
prisoners.

AIM OF THE ARMY.

To mention a few methods of our
work, the Army intends to engage in
homestead work; that is, to teach the
poor how to keep a house cheaply;
how to bring up children. Some of
the poor are killing their infants.
These must be first saved. These
methods differentiate the Army from
other religious bodies. We engage in
any work, however trivial. We find
work for others. The Army works on
the principles of love, and in this
spirit, the officers and soldiers are all
united

PREVENTION OF SUICIDE.

] Another work of the Army is to pre-
vent suicide. The notions about suicid
| may be different here from those pre-
| vailing in the West. But after all
suicide is committed either in extreme
] distress or in order to maintain ones
| honor. Human life is precious. I dis
| like to take the life of the bird, OIL
animal, or even of the worm crawling
| on the ground. The life of a person
| ought to be appreciated, for the sake
of his country, of his family, and OF
HIMSELF To live is a noble thing Life
is dedicated to God. Still the number
of suicides in the world is daily in
creasing. On this question I was ask
ed by a London newspaper to write
my views. I then opened a new move
ment, asking persons in distress and
having no friends, to come to a GER
tain place and to confide everything
to me. On the first day, $50 persons
came. The first person was journal
ist, having failed by gambling. This is
true fact. though It may sound
strange to Japanese journalists. The
Salvation Army gave work to these
persons, bent on throwing themselves
into the river. and saved their lives
AFTER THE GENERALS DEATH.
The Army was now working in So
countries. One may ask me what will
become of the work after my death
I reply, I will not yet die. Moreover,
[ am No. l of the Army. There being
No. l, it is an easy task to make No.

THE GENERALS FAITH.
Now that l have come to Japan, /
want to leave here some new work
Our faith is quite simple Once that
the faith is we'll grasped, our men can
adapt themselves to their environ
ments and find joy therein. We hold
that we must not only praise the death
of Christ, but follow his footsteps.
The salvation work is impossible where
self IS not united with the mind and
action of Christ. This is a spirit to
conquer the world. 1t is a military
spirit

MANY flee RUSSIA
FOR SIBERIAN HOMES

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The re-
storation of order and quiet through.
out the empire has given the ministers
an opportunity for much needed rest.
The majority have departed in various
directions, and it is announced that
no formal meeting of the council of
ministers will take place until the
middle of October
Prince Vassilchikoff, the minister
Of agriculture, has gone on a month q
trip to Siberia for the purpose of in.
vestigating the difficulties which have
arisen among the immigrants through
the governmental encouragement of
emigration, which has attained an
unprecedented volume.
From January l to July 81, Tchely-
abinsk, ON the Trans Siberian railroad,
registered 500, OO families, numbering
345, 900 persons, and also 1872, 1000 in
divi 1ual pioneers and homeseekers.
The rush IF settlers is so great that
all the available homestead lots are
exhausted and the local authorities
are unable to distribute the new ar.
rivals. As result of this state OF
affairs about thousand families are
now camping along the railroad.
awaiting their turn to be assigned to
homesteads. Many of the families
are in want, having spent all their
scanty funds.
Prince Vassilchikof intends to open
a settlement in new regions hitherto
held in reserve by the forestry de-
partment.

Des Moines, Ia, Spet. 17.-What
promises to become a nationwide
movement by the various states against
the Western Union and Postal tele-
graph companies is soon to be inaugu-
rated in Iowa by Attorney General
Byers.
Following close upon similar move
ment by the Michigan state authori-

state has announced his intention of
filing suit against both these concerns,
demanding penalties aggregating 49,

TO Determine STATUS
Of RAILROAD GRANTS

Portland, Or, Sept. 17.-John L.
Snyder, a resident of Columbia county,
has filed suit in sthe federal court
against the Oregon and California rail-
road and. the Union Trust Company to
test in court of competent jurisdic-
ton the question as to whether the
railroad company is compelled, by the
act of congress of April 10, 1869, and
May 4, 1870, to permit citizens of the
United States to settle upon lands
granted by the act of congress, in
quantities not to exceed quarter Sec
tion to any one settler, and to sell the
same to such settlers at 50. SO per acre,
as is expressly provided by the acts
referred to. These two acts we're
among the last passed by congress
granting lands to the railroad compa-
MES.
The plaintiff asserts that congress
simply made the railroad companies
trustees to dispose of the land at the
fixed price Of $3.50 an acre and al
lowed the railroad companies to use
the funds thus obtained in railroad
construction work. It is said that
three million acres of land in Oregon
and California will be affeced by the
suit. It is alleged that the railroad
company has refused to conform to
the terms of the acts, retaining for its
own use lands granted by congress for
settler purposes.

AMAZING CASE OF APHAslA.
Shrewd Business Man Deprived Of
Speech for seven Years.

Shrewd Business Man Deprived Of
Speech for Seven Years.
Discussing aphasia at the Academy
of Medicine, DR.. William H. Thompson
told story of mental acumen following
loss of speech which greatly interested
his hearers and which was acknowl-
edged to be one of the most remarkable
cases Of its kind on record.
"A man well known In business" said
DR.. Thompson, "came to my Office one
day and asked that l examine him
mentally to determine whether he was
competent to make will. l was In

that as he expected his will would be

developed the remarkable fact that,
while he was word blind, he had de-

Since the time he was stricken he had
conducted big business and had done
it in such an astute way that he had
