Tokio, Mar. 10. According to
well authenticated report the center
of interest in the Tatsu Maru affair
has been removed to London. When
the British government was informed
of Japan's announcement that in the
tvent of a refusal by China to enter
tain her demands that Japan proposed
to take "independent action," the
British foreign office asked Count
Komura, the Japanese ambassador in
. London what steps Japan proposed
to take, calling his attention to the
ctanse in the -treaty with Great Brit
ain covering the question of war be
tween Japan and any other nation,
Great Britain's interest therin being
understood here. Ambassador Kom
ura being unable to give a definite
answer asked the foreign office in
Tokio, for information which found
the attitude of the British govern
tnent an unexpected phase in the situ-
atoin. It is stated here that the Brit
bh government is advising arbitra

CHURCH WITHOUT A CREED.
NSAN FRANCISCO. Mar. 10.-The
great obstacles to the betterment of
life are partisanship in politics, sec
tarianism in religion and greed of
tun and display in social life.
"I would not call divorce one of the
lundamental evils of the day. Di
vorce is a symptom. You must look
farther back for the disease.
"The church has lost its leadership.
Sectarianism has become the scandal
of Christendom. The credal issues
that gave rise to the Christian sects
are largely of the past."
So spoke Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pas
tor of AH Souls Church of Chicago,
presiding minister of the Lincoln
Center, one of the most unique edu
cational institutions in the country,
editor of Unity and one of America's

lectures and addresses, notably the

ministers are welcome to preach.

Fifty-four Years Ago Today Cyrus
W. Field With the Prominent Men
he Had Induced to Listen to His
Story Held a Conference.
NEW YORK, Mar. 10,-To-day is
a notable one in the history of sub
marine telegraphy for although the
fiftieth anniversary of the sending of
the first message under the Atlantic
ocean does not occur until August 17
of this year, attention has been called
by the approaching semi-centennial
to the fact that it was just fifty four
years ago to-day that Cryus W. Field,
fired with enthusiasm for the seem
ingly impossible project, induced the
men afterward associated with him,
led by the venerable Peter Cooper,
to promise the material support that
made the cable a success. At the
home of Mr. Field, in this city, on
March 10 1854, a conference was held
by Mr. Field with the prominent men
he had induced to listen to his story,
the upshot of his pleadings being
that before the meeting adjourned he
had induced all present to sign an
agreement, to support the Atlantic
cable project. The signers of the
agreement, besides Cyrus W. Field
and Peter Cooper, were David Dud
ley Field, Marshall O. Roberts,
Moses Taylor and Chandler White.
The last named died in 1856, before
the first cable was laid, but his place
was taken by Wilson G. Hunt. A
historical painting marking the date
of the agreement, done by Daniel
Huntington, now hangs in the chain
ber of commerce in this city.

Flying Trip of Young Woman from
Toronton to Hamilton Saves 3.
CHICAGO, Mar. 10.-A despatch
to the Tribune from Hamilton, Ont.,
says:
The flying trip of a young woman
from Toronto to Hamilton yesterday
saved the lives of her mother, two
sisters and a cousin. The young girl
who lives in Toronto, with a married
sister, while the remainder of the
family live in Hamilton, was awaken
ed in the morning by a telephone bell.
"Hamilton wants you in a hurry,
was the message from central, and
in a moment she heard her mother's
voice, weak and almost inarticulate.
"Oh, Esther, come to us quickly,
we re an dying, saw the mother.
Annie is unconscious and both Bella
and Jeanie are too sick to call the
neighbors. Come as quick as you
can. 1 can fstand at the phone any
longer."
The girl dressed hurriedly and with
her sister's help, harnessed a horse
and drove to the railroad station, ar
riving just in time to catch a train.
An hour and a half from the time
she received the message she had
arrived in Hamilton and found the
whole family unconscious from coal
gas. She summoned physicians and

For Instance, the "Groan That Qurglot
From the 8laln."
Macaulay once reviewed a poem to
which a climax of absurdity was roach-
ed with this line:
And heart each jroan that gurgles from
th slain.
Tbe poetic license which lets a groan
gurgle from a slain man Is capable of
letting blm walk Into town from tbe
field of battle, collect the amount of
his life Insurance policy and band It
to bis widow. It brings to mind tbe
heroic warrior of whom It Is said that
"thrice he slew tbe slain" and the Irish
member of parliament who convulsed
tbe bouse of commons by exclaiming
that be would die as a soldier first and
a man afterward.
But strango to say, Macaulay himself
has made a similar blunder. In his
"Battle of I.alfe Raglllus" tbe follow
ing lines occur:
The shouting ot the slayers
And screeching of the slain.
Did these writers make these slips
In the heat of battle or were they
testing the Intellectual acutcness-of
their readers? There Is a story of a
German schoolmaster who used to call
out his class In history and begin to
tell them of the Thirty Years' war. "Yes,
children," be would say, "this Is a sub
ject In which I am especially Interest
ed, as my grandfather often told me
about It lie was a well to do Innkeep
er, and one day as be was standing In
his doorway a mounted soldier came
galloping up at a furious rate. 'What's
the matter?' asked my grandfather.
'Matter enough,' answered the dragoon.
'Don't you know that the Thirty Years'
war has begun today? " At this point
tbe ancient pedagogue would pause and,
survey bis class. Then a smile would
overspread his rubicund countenance If
a band was raised and a boyish treble
asked bow the dragoon knew the war
would last thirty years. Perhaps our
poets, too, would play the schoolmas
ter and smile if we should ask them
how It Is possible for the slain to groan
or screech. George Selbel In Pittsburg

FINES REMITTED.
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 10,-Thc
secretary of the treasury lins remitted
three fines which had been imposed
on skippers at this port for violations
of rules of the department of navi
gation and has reduced a fourth fine
to one fifth the original amount. Capt
Rogers of the Southern Pacific ferry
steamer, has been relieved from a
fine of $250 for refusing to obey
whistles signals of cruiser Maryland.
The department took into considera
tion the fact that Capt. Rogers had
500 passengers on board for whose
safety he had to provide, and also
his long service and high reputation
as a careful navigator. The fine of
$5,000 imposed on Capt. Cliisholm of
the British ship Wynford, for coming
in from Newcastle, Eng. without a
health clearance, The captain's ex
planation was considered satisfactory
by the department.
Capt. Cowing of the Japanese
Meamcr American Maru was subject
to two fines, one of $500 for failure
to keep male and female passengers
apart. And another of $250 for al
lowing crew to use steerage lavatory.
The first has been remitted by the
department and the second has been
reduced to $50.
