The reasons for this optimism are
several The temperament OF the Chi
nese is still contrary to argument by
force, only an infinitesimal number of
foreign educated students being per-
suaded against the peaceful doctrine
of Confucius. The modern troops of
the central government are sufficient t.

To threaten the overthrow OF the dy-
nasty. though there Is much discussion
by hot-headed students who often send
memorials to Peking written In their

But the foregoing are only the minor
reasons for confidence. The chief rea-
son Is the fact that the serious men
who are dissatisfied with the present
state of affairs fear that a revolution
would give pretext TO two or more
foreign nations to invade and annex
provinces. The fear of losing outlying
provinces like Mongolia. Manchurla.

As Voluntary Witness at Steel
Investigation Says He Au-

For Best interests of Public

His Duty Otherwise.

New York. Aug. 5.-Theodore Roo

the steel inquiry to tell what he knew
regarding the absorption OF the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Co.. by the Steel
Corporation during the panic of 1907.
Roosevelt appeared to be in an ex-
ceedingly good humor and greeted COM
Stanley announced that the former
presidents appearance was voluntary
and not in response to a subpoena.
When taking the stand Roosevelt
said he would like to read a state
ment he had prepared. He then began
reading introducing the subject by
description OF the financial panic and
conditions I'm the fall OF 1907. 1T was
the utmost duty OF the admnistra-
ton" he read, ~to prevent the spread
of the panic before IL became a dis
aster." The Secretary of the Treasury
and himself. he said, were constantly
in touch on the situation. During that
time Judge Gary and II. c. Frick Of
the steel corporation, came to see
Secretary Root, also came at the Col
oners request. A conference was held
I'm the morning. Roosevelt explained
he wrote a note to Secretary Bona

position was that the u. s. steel Cor

me To act Immediately before the stock

worthy as a public officer If / had not |

Chairman Stanley repeatedly asked
Col. Roosevelt If Gary and Flick had
intimated that the absorption OF the
Tennessee Company was not to save
the brokerage firms from going to the |
wall. rather than to prevent public
panic. The colonel replied that no |
such statement was made to him. At
the conclusion of his testimony Col |
Roosevelt received the thanks OF the
committee and expressed satisfaction
that, as plain American Citizen" he
was able to assist the committee.

PLAN A MASCULINE RELIGION.
New Worldwide Movement to Be
Launched October 1 in st. Paul.

Launched October I in st. Paul.
st. Paul, Mimi. Aug. 5.-The exec
utive committee or the men and Re-
ligion" movement has been i'm session
in St Paul for the purpose OF planning
a world wide campaign for a more ma
terial religion than now offered. which
is to be launched from the Twin cities
on Oct. J.
This movement is intended TO enlist
men of all churches" said A. ]. Mason
of st. Paul, one of the original commit
tee OF ninety-seven. "It is not a revl-
val 1t is merely a campaign for bet
ter conditions socially, morally and
mentally. While the religious move
ment will not be sighted, the material
prosperity OF the city and its people
will be uppermost In the minds OF the
leaders as they have long since re-
solved that to make an appeal TO men
we must have a more masculine relig-
ion"
The movement was started two years
ago in New York by business men who.
after a long study of social and rei-
gious conditions i'm the city. became i'm
pressed with the fact that the churches
i'm many instances failed to appeal to
the men and i'm all instances had not
grasped the masculine mind as they
should.
The campaign will embrace ninety
cities and will last i'm the United
States from October until the last OF
May, and then will be carried to for
eign countries.
