China Prefer to Seek Knowledge From, Her Neighbor. New York, Sept. 19. What effect the war in the Far East will have on the propaganda of the Christian relig ion in Japan was the subject of a lec ture at the Weet Branch, Young Men's Christian Association by 7)r. Ibuka, president 01 an institution of learning in Tokio, and himself a Christian. That the recent outbreak in Tokio and the attack upon the churches was the result of merely a local fcollng and did not represent any widespread antl- forelgn feelinK in the empire, was tho assertion of the lecturer.' "When the war with Russia first began, I and my fellow Christians In Japan were uneasj' for fear that tho Btrftggle should result in a lasting ani mosity toward the Christian religion in the omplre. At first the cry was raised that it was a etrugglo ol Jiuuuhism ver sus Christianity, and tho Kussians did many things to foster this sentiment, but it was not long until this illusion was dispelled and the , peoplo wero brought to see that religion and re ligious beliefs had no part in tho war. "Already Uhlna lias become aroused to tho fact that she has much to learn, and alio is seeking this knowledge from Japan rather than from European countries, Jiunurous ol tho young men of Japan aro taking positions as in structors in the Chinsoo institutions of learning, and hundreds of the young men of China are coming to tho col leges of Japan for instruction. It is vitally necessary that the young meu should be taught tlvo truths of tho Ohrhtlan religion if it is to bo spread in China." REVISE LAND LAWS. One Great Measure Roosevelt Will Recommend In Message. Washington, Bept. 10. President Itoosevelt, in his forthcoming message to congress, will urgo tho remodeling of tho public land laws, and among other things will specifically recom mend the repeal of the timber and stono act, the law which has been re sponsible for more fraud and which has caused the government greater actual loss of money than any other public land statute. Tho president will uaso Ills recommendation upon tho report of tho Public Tands commission, consist ing of Commissioner IMchnrds, of tho general land ofllce, F. II. Nowcll, liehd of the Reclamation service, and Gifford Pinchot, chief forester. This commission submitted to con gress at its last session a second report on its investigation, and, among other things, said: "Instances of thebenoflcial operation of the timber and stone act may bo cit ed, but when it is considered from tho point of view of the ueneral interest of the public, it becomes obvious that tbla law should lie repealed." Since the foregoing report was pub lished, the commission has submitted to tho public printer a great appendix, containing data and facts upon which Its conclusions wero based. This ap pendix; has not yot been mado public. SCARED BY THE TARTARS. Russian Troops at Baku Refuse to Leave Barracks.

Tho troona aro so badly Beared by tho rioters that they rofuso to lcavo their headnuar ora and content thomsoives with firing a-fow Hhota at long rango at small bodies of nrmod Tartars, who oc casionally approach tho barracks. Durine tho past 24 hours armed bodies of Tartars havo attacked and burned the remaining oil towors In the district and at tho present time not one of them remains standitiR. No one can estimate tho loss, which will run into the millions. A consorv ative estimate of the killed during the past week by Tartars is 6,000, includ ing many women and children. Few New Cases.

Washington, Sept. 19. It Is proba ble that only four members of tho pres ent cabinot will remain to tho end of President Iloosovolt's term: Elihu Itoot, secretary of state; William H. Taft, secretary of war; G.B.Cortolyou, postmaster general, and O. J. Bona parte, secretary of tho navy. Conslderabli uncertainty surrounds tho future of tho other fivo members of tiio cabinot, or rather, four mem bers, for it is known that Secretary Shaw will rrsign next February. Somo speculation is indulged in as to whether or not tho president, in re forming his cabinot, will havo a regard for geographical lines, or will pick the men' best suited for the places, regard lean of whore they come from. In tho present cabinot New York and Iowa have two members, and Ohio, Massa chusetts, Maryland, Missouri and Call oinia.nno each. Tho South is not rep resented, but all ot'ier sections aro. Now York will . continue to havo at least two members (Root and Cartel you) ; Iowa will loso one in Shaw nn 1 another if Wilson resigns, but Ohio and Maryland will retain their repre sentation. If Hitchcock retires, some Western man 1b almost certain to suc ceed him, but it would bo utterly im possible to pick tho man. And so it goes. Tho probabilities nro that tho now cabinet will be composed of men from all parts of tho country, but Pres ident Roosevelt will consider a man's ability beforo ho considers his place of residence. BURNING THE FORTS. Incendiaries Make Repeated Efforts to Destroy New York Defenses. New York, Sept. 10. Four mysterl oub fires in thrco of tho four forte pro tecting New York harbor within the last two months havo caused the mili tary authorities of tho department of the East much concern. Two of tho fires havo been at Port Hamilton, ono on the night of July 17 and the other last Fr'idav night. On tho night in July of tho fire at Fort Hamilton there was a disastrous nro at Fort Wadsworth. Tho latest fire was at Fort Slocum, on tho David island, in tho Sound, Sunday night. In each caso there havo been buspI- clous circumstances concerning the or igin of tho fires. Magazines, barracks, hospitals, forago and even big siege guns havo been destroyed and damaged in these fires, and despite tho most thorough investigation nothing ib known definitely aa to how the urea started.

NEW HAGUE CONFERENCE. Peace In Orient Clears Way and Call Will Be Issued Soon. Washington, Sept. 18. President Roosevelt has decided to shortly issuo a call for tho peace conforonco at Tho Hnguo. This information is from a high sourco. Tho timo of tho meeting has not been dotormlnoj, but it will bo decided beforo tho president returns to Washington. His great victory in bringing about pence between Russia and Japan has encouraged his belief that a great stop forward can now be adopted in promoting international peace. Boveral months ago ho had tho mat- tor under consideration and recoived satisfactory assurances from all Euro pean nations except Russia. The czar informed him that, whilo he favored another peace conference, ho could not see his way clear to aiding such a movement until war between Japan and Russia bad been brought to a conclu sion. It is understood that tho United States and tho leading European powers havo practically agreed upon a provi sion which stipulates that war shall not bo waged except for vital reasons and only after exhaustive efforts have been mado to adjust the differences. Other subjects that will receive con sideraiion are tho firing of explosives from balloons ; better protection for tho Red Cross; floating mines; ownership of interned ships. HIGHEST ON COAST. Mt. Whitney, of California, Accorded Honor by the Government. Ban Francisco, Sept. 18. A report fraught with deep interest to tho people of tho Pacific coast baa just been for warded to Washington by Professor Alexander McAdie, who is at the head of the Weather Bureau service in this section of tho country. Tho report states that, according to measurements mado during the summer ol this year, Mount Whitney, situated in California, is the hiehest peak in tho United States. It reaches 14,502 feet above tho levef of tho sea. Mount Rainier, situated in Washington, ranks second, its height being 14,394 feet. Tho figures for Mount Shasta are not definitely fixed, but aro known to be between 14,200 and 14,380. This report will settle tho question which has occupied the attention of scientists on tho Pacific coast tor eever al years. Professor McAdie atatea that his figures may be considered as linal. for tho variation will not exceed, more than a few feet in either case". Mount Rainier was measured in Ju ly, and at thut timo the announcement was mado that it overtopped Whitney Calculations havo shown this to have been incorrect. The figures for Rainier were found to correspond closely to those obtained by Professor Edgar Mc Cluro, the well known scientist, who lost his life on tho great peak alter ho had completed his measurements. PLENTY OF WORK AHEAD. Navy Department Will Not Discrimi nate Against Puget Sound. Washington, Sept. 18. Through his secretary, Senator Piles today made in quiry at tho Navy department regard ing the report that the force of employ es at tho Puget sound navy yard was to bo materially reduced on account of the lack of work. He finds, on tho contra ry, that abundance of repair work has been set aside for the Puget Bound yard, which will give employment to all the men now on tho rolls. Somo Bay $112, 000 will be expended in repairing tha transport Zafiro, necessary repairs will be made to the cruiser Chicago, the revene cutter Ferry will go out of com mission at Bremerton for extensive re pairs to bo paid for by tho Treasury de partment, and as soon as some vessel is found to relieve the battleship Oregon in Asiatic waters, that vessel will come to Bremerton for a complete overhaul ing. The Navy department assures Mr. Piles that there ia no intention of dis criminating against the Puget sound yard. Two Roads on North Bank. Portland, Sept. 18. President How ard Elliot, of the Northern Pacific, through A. D. Charlton, assistant gen eral passonger agent of the company, has announced to the peop'o of Port land and of tho Pacific Northwest that tho Portland & Seattle Railway com pany, already engaged in constructing a railroad down tho north bank of the Columbia river, is owned jointly by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific companies, and that traffic of both roads will be moved to Portland from Konnowick over tho new trackage. Norway Mobilizes Her Army. Paris, Sept. 18. Despite tho contra dictory statements mado on ho sub ject, information reaching tho highest authorities shows that the mobilization of Norway'B forces Ib now going on. The French government has mado con ciliatory representations at Stockholm with a viow to averting a rupturo. Official Bontimont here tends toward an arrangement whereby Norway would be permitted to continue some of her froutior fortifications. Iowa Losing Population. Dee Moines, la., Sept. 18, Accord ing to preliminary figures of Iowa'B state census the state had a total popu lation January 1, 1005, of 2,201,372, a loss of 30,481 since the census of 1900, when the state was accredited with a population of 2,231,85$. Practically all of the larger cities and counties showed gains, The lose was aluoet entirely in the rural wet loss, "Now, try this," said tho luncher, offering his cigar caso to his friend across tho table. "You aro a Judge of good tobacco, I know, and I think you'll like It" The man took- ono of the slim, dark brown rolls of leaf, pinched It daintily, sniffed at tho end, clipped It carefully anf lit it Ills friend watched him with an anxious expression. "Well " be said. Tho tobacco expert slowly expelled a ring of smoko ana rrownea. "it Isn't this Porto Ilico tobacco," ho said, It has a certain twang about it that reminds me of It, but the rank flavor isn't there." "Thoy suit my tasto," said tho first man. "I stumbled on to tnoso in rata er an odd manner. It wasn't ap at tractive box and tho cigar isn't an attractive cigar, is it?" "Not especially at tho first glanco."

A now and Interesting attraction at the Berlin zoologicnl garden Is a mounted specimen of a monster sea elephant It can claim the distinction of being the largest sea elephant that has ever been killed. It was found some eighteen months ago by whalers oft the coast of the Falkland islands. They promptly surrounded ik mon lrtr tad subeequeatfy slaughtered it brilliant tropic flowers and I smellect oleanders and orango blossoms." "Thoy'ro certainly fragrant They're not mado of Manila leaf though. Thero's too much bouquet for that" "I'll put you next, if you like. I don't think you can got them at any old tobacco store.

You're a better Judgo than I thought you were. They're sawed-off Connecticut stogies." Chicago Dally News. no easy task and tho hide with the raw skeleton was purchased at a high price by J. F. G. Umlauff. Some idea of tho size of the mon ster may be gauged from the fact that from tho tip of Its tall to the tip of its tusk It has a total measurement of nearjy 21 feet Such an animal when alive would weigh 10-.000 pounds or nearly four and a half tons. The circumference of the body nt Its widest part is some 18 feet The skull alone measures 2 feet 8 Inches long and 1 foot 8 Inches high. Tho Bea elephant or seal elephant is in many ways an Interesting crea ture. So far as size goes he can give, points to tho walrus, but ho is certain ly not so ferocious-looking. Except for tho curious nose, whenco his Greek namo, he is Just a big black seal, fair ly agile in the sea and clumsy ashore, liko all his kind. He Is about tho bulk of n hippopotamus, although more hlrsuto and with a less extensive open ing of the Jaws. He holds among seals tho unique position of being common to both hemispheres, although from the ardor with which he has been hunted very few specimens now exist north of the equator. Just now, however, the sea elephant is enjoying a respite and is consequent ly Increasing In numbers rapidly, par ticularly In tho southern seas. He forms practically the only population of many an otherwise lonely series ot. barren rocks in the Antarctic oceatt, Hin food consists chiefly If not entirely, of cuttlefish. Formerly the tmimal was hunted by whalers upon all the islands of the Antarctic ocean, notably Kerguelen'a Land and the South Shetland, where they abounded in Immense herds. The creatures were slaughtered' for thelrj hides and blubber. The tusks of the male reach a length' of four to Ave Inches, their external part being smooth and conical, white the part embedded In the flesh is fur rowed and slightly curved. Tho tusks of tho males nro solid at the lower end only a slight cavity appears whilo in tho female they are shorter, and, moreover, almost hollow up to tho point Sailors and seal hunters aro fond of using theso hollow teeth of tho females for pipe bowls, quills from the wings of pelicans supplying suitable stems for tho pipes. How Men Smoke Cigars. "My observation of smokers," says a cigar dealer, "Ipads me to believe that a man's character can be read pretty accurately by the way he bandies his cigar. "Take the man who grips the butt fast between his teeth and Just lets her burn any old way. I have always found him to bo aggressive, bound to get what ho wants, and do what he pleases, regardless of the rights ot others. "His opposite is tho fellow who smokes slowly and deliberately, turn-' Ing the cigar around and watching tho smoke curl upward. He's a good fel low, I always think, easy going, and true as steel. "Tho weak, characterless man puffs away carelessly and intermittently, whilo tho nervous man handles his ci gar clumsily, as If he didn't know Just what to do with It Tho valu, boast ful man tips his cigar to tho sky, while tho level-headed smoker keeps it hori zontal and puffs away regularly. The man who chewB his butt nnd twists it from corner to' corner of his mouth is generally of a tenacious disposition, but high strung. "Tho best fellow of all, from .a so cial point, Is tho man who can't keen, his cigar alight. You'll always find him a jolly companion with a fund of good stories. Match? Yes, sir. Here you are."
