Sir Chentung Gratifed.
Boston, June 1s-SIr Chentung LANG
Cheng the retiring Chinese Minister
TO the United States. who is in this
city on a visit, to-day made the follow
ing statement.
An official note which I received
from Secretary Root last Saturday
night. telling Of the Presidents wishes
TO reliHquish the excessive claims
against my country, shows better than
anything else can the remarkably high
sense of justice which the United States
has used in all her dealings with
China
You remember that after the Boxer
troubles China agreed TO pay an in
demnity Of S2f440,71&Sl on account Of
the losses eutaiIed hy the United States
government. as well as for personal
property lost hy her citizens during
the Boxer campaign. -Four years ago
your government was good enough TO
promise me that when the time ar
rived. as "a token OF sincere friendship
for China, the original Ggures of thp
indemnity would be revised.
True % the promise oT tie Execu-
tive officers. received q note from Sec
retary Root last Saturday night saying
that tLe President directed nim 90 sav
that I'm his next message O. Congress
he would be pleased to recommend
that China be relieved 0f all obliga-
uons in excess Of the final revised
amount Of the indemnity, which had
been set at SIi.655. .4g2.c4.. That. as YOU
can see, viii save China more than
$l2.0o00o0, and also interest at Z per
cent
You cannot emphasize too strongly
my great admiration for the fair spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings Of the United States with nav
country. This final action IS another
monument 70 Americas high sense of
justice. and I feel called upon 10 say
not because / am the retiring Minis
ter--that personally I feel that Amer
is one of China's strongest friends"

Minister of Finance Praises
Land and People.
DECLARES WAR TALK IS SILLY
Tells Why Subjects of Mikudo Have
Henson to Feel Kindly Toward
America-Thinks Roosevelt Great
est Statesman Of Era-Thinking
Nipponese Have No Idea of Trouble.

New York. June 1s.-Reizlro Wakatsuli.
vice minister Of finance Of Japan. who is
now ia this city studying financial CON
didous. had this to say to-day Of the
attitude Of his people toward America.
Respect and love for the American
people and admiration for American ideals
OF government is a tradition Of the Jana
nese race. It is a feeling that viii be
strengthened with the passing years. To
my mind, the future of Japan and the
United States lies along harmonious
paths. Talk Of war between the United
States and Japan is worse than absurd
Il is silly.
u think, however. it is very strange
that American newspapers should give
space 70 the reports that the japanese
people are very much excited over dis
turbauces in San Francisco. Such re-
ports are gross exagEerations.
The japanese people do not Ike these
disturbances. But the japanese do not
measure the attitude of the American
government. OF the feelings of the great
American people by some mob outburst
IN San Francisco. The thinking peopIa
Of Japan are not excited over this mat
ter.
Inspired by Industry.
The enterprise of American industries
is an inspiration for the economic de-
velopment of Japan. We have great re-
spect for your captains Of finance and
industry; your Hills and Harrimans and
Schiffs and MOrgans. and for the great
constructive works they have done. We
have met the ships Of Mr.. Hartman and
Mr.. HILL These men among others. Of
course, by stimulating the channels Of
trade between Japan and the United
States, are doing much for the future re-
latlons between our own countries The
name SChiff is known through the length
and breadth Of Japan as an American
citizen who rendered a great service to
our nation in time Of trouble.
Praise Roosevelt.
Your President Theodore Roosevelt is
frank and honest and brave in what he
does and says. He is unquestionabIy one
of the very greatest statesmen Of his time.
can say nothing better or worse of him
than that japanese statesmen are ALWAYS
aspiring to the ideals which President
Roosevelt has set up. This is not merely
my opinion, but believe also the opinion
Of the japanese nation.
My mission is not to borrow money.
Japan is growing and will need new funds.
Japan, however. when the time comes to
raise more money will act cautiously. She
is not likely TO rush into the markets Of
the world for money unannounced. The
fact that American investors hold a large
amount Of japanese bonds-government
municipal, debentures. and others-is
very pleasing factor in the situation he /
tween the American and japanese people |
and cannot help but TO draw them closer
and closer together"

preparation.
WILSON IS CONSIDERABLE
Saws Road Tax Unreasonable
to Poor Class
NAPLES Says If Council Refuses to
Divy up, Other Steps to Get
Money will be Taken

The city council, it is reported, is
not unanimous In favoring the new
road tax law, and it is likely that
there will be opposition tonight when
It. comes to granting the request Of
the board of public service for an
appropriation of $3.50 to be used in
employing ward suerintendents whose
duty it will be to see that the law is
obeyed.
There is no doubt that the law
would be a good thing for the city of
Marion, so far as the care os the
streets is concerned" said Council
man j. v. Wilson, this morning,
but | think it would impose too
great a hardship on many of the
citizens. There are many who will
find it difficult to obtain the So which
must be paid into the treasury
The appropriation that is made ev-
cry six months to pay for the care of
the city's streets Is sufficient TO
meet all needs, the officials say, and
there is no necessity of levying a spe-
| ICldl lax oH lHt ClJlLcHS.
The board of public service at its
last meeting authorized City Clerk
Flies to submit communication to
the council, asking for the $3.50 ap-
preparation. The board intends to en-
force the law. The duties OF the ward
superintendents who will be paid out
Of this $3.50 will be to serve notices
OH all men who come under the law
and to require every man either to
do two days work or to pay SO in
stead.
"If the concil should refuse to make
the appropriation, the board will have
to take other steps to get the money,
said B. F.. NAPLES of the service
board, this morning. He expressed
the belief, however. that the council
will make the appropriation.
Mr.. NAPLES said that as soon as
the money is secured, the board will
proceed to appoint superintendent
for enforcing the law. This will be
done at the board meeting, Tuesday
evening.
Councilman Wilson was at first in.
clined to think that City Solicitor
Donithen was mistaken in saying that

"The startling revelations that have
been brought forth during the recent
muck rake period, and through GRIM
inal prosecutions of one kind and an
other, have led some to conclude that
an agency Is at work in our land,
which threatens the destruction of
our civilization" The speaker mem
toned "the second earthquake" in
San Francisco, the corruption in Gin
|cinnati, Pittsburg and other places,
indicating the overthrow of honesty
In business life.
"The criminal courts in the Thaw
and many other recent cases, have
Indicated serious lack OF virtue
among some of the moneyed aristoc-
racy of the country. It is probable
that the interests of the country
would be best served by sending Thaw
tc the penitentiary or the mad house
for the remainder Of his life, and
justice would not likely be outraged
II his wife and her mother should oc-
|cupy cells near by" said the speaker.
"All of this evidence from various
sources only confirms the old Bible
doctrine that the carnal mind is en-
unity against God.
Mr.. Bailey quoted at length from
ian article on conditions in Chicago,
found in one of the April magazines.
This article shows that Chicago
spends $100,000,000 year for intoxi-
eating drinks and $20,00O,O00 year
for prostitution. 1872 hotels contain
ing 10000 rooms, maintain dsreput-
able women. Agents are employed
to visit dance halls tn seduce and
ruin young women and then bring
them to these dens Of vice, for which
they receive the sum Of from $50 to
SIS, for each victim. These secret
agents are visiting all our towns and
villages. Carnality has become a
commodity Of commerce. In club
dance by one of the political parties
In Chicago on the 10th of December
last, the receipts were over $4,000.
The dance had in attendance 1000
prostitutes. do not wonder that
the author of this article speaks of
the $4,000 savages who live In this
ward. Carnality, the enemy Of God,
Is threatening our best institutions.
"There is one effectual remedy for
the disease of sim" said Mr.. Bailey.
that remedy is the religion OF Jesus
Christ. The law of God and the
gospel Of Jesus Christ is the hope
and the only hope of our civiliza-
tion. "

MEERscHAUM IN NEW MEXICO.
Sufficient In Quantity to Break Turkish
Government Monopoly.

Because of the discovery of vast de.
posits of meerschaum in the noun.
tains of New Mexico 1t Is likely that
the monopoly of that mineral hereto.
fore held by tho Turkish government
will be broken and pipes of that ma
terial will be lessened In cost.
Until recently all the meerschaum
used in the commerce of the world was
produced from mine In the plains of
Eskihi-sher. Anatoly, Turkey in Asia.
In those mines are employed 10000
men. The output of the mine was
owned by the Turkish government and
1t kept the price up.
1t is said that enough meerschaum
has been discovered In Grant county,
New Mexico, to supply the worlds
needs.
There Is a popular belief that meer.
schaum is petrified sea foam washed
up ages ago and solidified by some
strange process of nature. Meerschaum
Is mineral known to scientists as
''sepiolife." It.is composed principally
of silica and magnesium. 1t is found
in assures In the rock, where volcanic
action has forced it up to the surface.
Meerschaum is used not only for
making tobacco pipes, but because of
its unique properties of resisting a
high degree of heat and Its ready alb
sorption of water, it is put to various
electrical and mechanical uses.
In the mines of New Mexico a solid
block Of meerschaum weighing AZ
pounds was taken out. 1t was the
largest block Of meerschaum ever
mined.

The enduring strength of the church
OF. God was spoken of in the Sunday
morning sermon Of Rev. G.. Z. Row
ley, pastor of the Wesley M. E.
church. He said that the church Ia
Of Gods appointment and will stay
until the day of judgment.
Rev. Mr.. Rowley said that the weak
Christian, the man Of wavering
strength and spirit, should not be
discouraged, but should be helped in
every way possible. He thanked God
for a. man who ,hasseve spark OF
the love of God within him. He ex-
pressed his belief that it is good
idea for people to remain in the
churches which witness their con-
version, There is no benefit, he
thinks, in shifting from one denom-
ination to the other.
The text of Rev. Mr.. Rowley's
discourse. is found in Isaiah 42:4. and
reads, "He shall not fail nor be dis
couraged, till he have set judgment
III the EARTH"
The book of Isaiah is one of tho
BuOuScSJ anu Deot VI luc IDioiO, AsS' .
Mr.. Rowley believes. Throughout the
entire book are words, admonishing
the people to have the spirit OF love
and gentleness.
Sunday evening, Rev. Mr.. Rowley
conducted an evangelistic church and
a large number of people asked for
the prayers of the church.
"Excuses Given Why Men Do
Not Attend Church" was the
theme of an interesting discourse
delivered by Rev. Il. M. Rourke
at the First Presbyterian church,
Sunday evening. The pastors ef-
fort was highly appreciated by a
very large congregation.
Several weeks ago Rev. Rourke
requested that all persons who fire.
quently miss church, send him a
written excuse giving correct rea-
son fcr it. The pastors request
was observed and scores of excuse
missives flooded in and conse-
quently Rev. Rourke was inspired
to disclose to his congregation last
night the results of the investiga-
ton.
