Hardly had tho direct examination of Duncan got ten under wny than inferences that witness fo the government had been tampered with wero being brought out. Duncan had a splendid ability to forget. His memory in connection with the talks and deals that ho hail with the defendants was conveniently a blank. So was that of Ureen llenrd, who waa another of tho men who had taken up a Umber claim, which, It is alleged, waa taken for Dr. Gcnenr and Repre sentative .Williamson. Ilia son Henry was also suffering from a bad memory, but nfter a severe shaking up both by Mr. Honey and Judgo ltcnnott, he blandly ndmltted, when hu waa closely prceec'.by Judgo Itonnott, that ho had committed orjury In Hwearing to hia timber entry nllldavit.

A special tele gram to tno evening l'osi irom its Wash Ign ton correspondent says: "It is learned on high authority that President Roosevelt Is not entirely pleased with the way in which Secre tary Taft treated Engineer John F. Wallace, and this is one of the reasons wky the construction of the isthmian canal ia to be entrusted to Secretary Root. "In platn language, several members of the cabinet have expressed to Presi dent Roosevelt their disapproval of the treatment accorded to Wallace by Taft. They say Taft did wrong in flying into n rage and tolling Wallace be ilia not wish to receive any report from tno latter on the canal problem. The view of these cabinet members la that. If Mr. Walalce, whoso reputation as an engineer is beyond question, found natural obataclea to tho construction of tho canal that unfile engineering gener ally, Mr. Taft might have found it out, and that he should have accorded Wal lace tho private audience that he sought and not have required tho presence of Mr. Cromwell, an ouUlder." JAPANESE LAND ON SAKHALEN. Important Card Is Played to Influence Terms of Peace. St. Petersburg, July 10. A landing of Japanese troops on the island of Sak halin was ofllclally reported tonight, nnd startles military circles in St. Pet ersburg, though it has been realised since tho defeat of Admiral Rojestven- sky that tho Japaneso were able to take possession of thu island aa soon as they thought fit. Tho strength of tho land ing force cannot be ascertained, but tho garrison of tho Island is too weak to offer an effective resistance. Though tho Japaneso seem unwilling to risk a grand buttlo with General I.iniovltch, pending the peaco meeting nt Washington, tho landing of troops on Sahkalin Is considered to express Japan's decision regarding tho formal conclusion of a general armistice. namely, that in tho interim before the meeting it is necessary to occupy the Islam! wnoso possession Is an important caul In Japan'n diplomatic contest at Washington. Missouri River Rises. Omaha. Neb., July 10. Tho rapid rise of tho Missouri river at this point has caused tho breaking of dikes into two hikes north of thu city, with the result that thu river mny cut a now channel, emlnngoring thu utility of thu double-span drawbridge of thn Illinois Central. Many residents along tho Nebraska sldo of tho river hnve been compelled to fleu from their homes.

Not for rniiny yenrs Imvo so mnny Important matters confronted Presby terians, or been In the public mind to Interest them. The thing thnt startles them most Is the proposition of Asso ciate Justice Unrlnn of tho United States Supremo Court, nnd one of tho most prominent of crniignllcnl lenders, that a Presbyterian cathedral be erect ed In tho national capital. Wlillo Justice Harlan la responsible for tho suggestion, It Is known that other share his vIowm nnd knew In advance Hint he wns to make them public. A considerable proportion of Presbyterl nns feel that as Roman Catholics, Kplscopallnns, Methodists and to somo "xtcnt Lutherans have mndo Wash ington n center of their work, some of it national In scope, so Presbyterians ought to mnko It The capital Is a strong Presbyterian center, hut It Is as the capital nnd not ns a city that It Is proposed to erect In It n plnco of public worship thnt will attract attention. It llO.f, J0II5 U. IIAM.A.f. la declared not to bo a radical Innova tion for Presbyterians to have a ca thedral, nnd that tho propounders of the plan do not In the strict sense con template a cathedral foundation. They want a great church, to cost at least K',000.000, to stand before America and the world as a material embodi ment of Presbyterians wealth, promi nence nnd power. So far as can be ascertained In advance of any general meeting of leaders, tho proposal meets with little favor. Criticism of It Is general, and ft seems to And few friends. Yet It Is admitted that senti ment insy change, and that some In fluential leaders favor the project, be tides the prominent associate Justice. Tho Need of Prayer. Go not, my friend, Into the danger ous world without prayer. You kneel down nt night to pray, and drowsiness weighs down your eyelids; a hard day's work is a kind of excuse, nnd you shorten your prayers, and resign yourself softly to repse. The morning breaks, and It may be you rise late nnd so your early devotions arc not done, or done with Irregular haste. No watching unto prayer; wakefulness once more omitted; nnd now Is that re parable? Wo solemnly believe not There has been that dono which can not be undone. You hare given up your prayer, and you will suffer for 1L Temptation Is beforo you, and you are not ready to meet tit. There Is a guilty feeling on the soul, and you linger nt a distance from God. It Is no marvel If that day In which you suffer drowsi ness to Interfere with prayer, be a day In which you shrink from duty. Mo ments of prayer Intruded on by sloth cannot be mndo up. Wo mny get ex perience, but we ennnot get bnck the rich freshness nnd strength which were wrapped up 1 nthoso moments. Rev. K. W. Robertson, D. D. A Babbath-Kccper. It was up In one of those little fish ing villages of the far north, where Dr. Greufell ministers to tho bodies nnd spirits of tho men who "go down to the sea In ships." There wns a fisherman who wns but Intely come to Christ, nnd he had a new tlshlug-nct which ho hud set out In tho sen to catch fish. It wns a brand-now, tlve-huudredilollnr net. It wns thnt tlsheriunn'H little fortuuee. And on Sunday morning there came up 11 great wind, with the promise of 11 storm. And Dr. Greufell, who has the welfare of his tlsherfolk nt heart, bethought him of thnt net. He knew that It would bo torn to pieces be fore the tiny wns over; he knew that the loss of It meant poverty for the fisherman, montus of hunger nml dep rivation for his children. So tho doctor went out nnd found tho fisherman, and said to him: "Aren't you going to take In your net?" - And tho ftshormnn said, "It Is Sun day." Hut Dr. Greufell, who Is n wIbo nnd sensible man, remembering how tho disciples plucked tho ears of corn on the .Sabbath, nml how Christ said, "Whnt mnn shall thore ho among you that shall Imvo 0110 sheep, nnd If it full Into n pit on tho Sabbath day, will he not lay hold of It, nml lift It out?" plemled with the fisherman, snylng: "I think under tho circumstances It is right for you to bring In tho net." Hut tho fisherman answered him, "It might bo right for you, doctor, but It wouldn't bo right for me. I'vo only been n Christian n llttlo while, nnd this Is tho first tlmo I've had a chance to do anything for tho Lord. If I go under nt tho first temptation do you think tho rest of tho folks will ever bolloro In my kind of Christianity? I said I was ready to give up everything for Christ, aud lit took me at my word JL a m m ft 1 - 2 5 3 a 1 1 j 4, j I when Ho raised this wind on a SuiW I dny." Thnt afternoon, In thn llttlo chapel, tho fisherman passed tho contribution pinto, serene nnd unconcerned; but tliero wns not a mnn who dropped n penny In the pinto who did not think of tho net going to rack nnd ruin out In tho wind-blown sen. There wns not n mnn but asked himself If hn could hnvo dono ns much. At midnight tho fisherman launched his bont, nnd In tho dnwn tho doctor met him coming up tho wharf. Tho ragged fragments of tho not hung from his nrm, but In his faco was pence. Youth's Compnnlon. In Tune with Ilia Dlrlne. Did you over seo orchestras getting rendy to play? They tnko n tuning fork thnt Is nt tho concert pitch, nnd strike it, nnd get tho noto exactly, and chord tho Instruments, ono nfter an other taking tho pitch, nnd nil of them nt last coming Into harmony. It makes no difference If they played only two hours ago, they nro obliged, at every performance, to repent the snmo oper ation; and frequently It has to be re peated two or three times, If tho por formanco Is long. Now, no man enn chord his heart so thnt It will go without tuning from one dny to another. Kvcry dny wo must take tho Word of God as tho concert-pitch, and tunc our hearts up to thnt; nnd we must do It not only every dny, but mnny times n day.

The power to set tho heart right, to renew tho springs of nctlon, comes from ChrlsL The sense of tho Inflnlto worth of the single soul, nnd fjo re corcrnbleness of a mnn nt his worst, nro tho gifts of Christ. Tho freedom from guilt, the forglrcncss of sins, co mo from Christ's cross; the hope of Immortality springs from Christ's grave. Personal conversion means for life a personal religion, a personal trust In God, a personal debt to Christ, a personal dedication to his cause. These, brought about, how you will, are supreme things to aim at Henry Drummond. Our Father's Honae.

The last thing which tho treasury employes do before going home each day Is to set tho Umetocks, which pre vent any human being getting Into tho vaults until tho hour fixed for opening next morning. The treasurer himself, the man who U responsible for the millions of se curities and money, could not get In, As a further protection what Is called "the electric protection" Is set upon each door. This Is nothing but a wooden door that Is attached to tho entrance of every vault It Is so full of electrical devices that a single touch upon It will set tho automatic burglar alarm to ringing In the regis ters at the main door and In the office of the company furnishing the system. Tho whole device is so sensitive that in tho dead of the night there Is likely to be an alarm-when no one has touched a part of the machinery. Ono night not long ago there were three alarms, all of which wero promptly In vestigated, but no one could be found who had set the wires to buzzing their messages of warnings. The doors of the vaults are not U onty parts that are filled with theso dellcato but wonderful sensitive elec tric wires. The Insldes of the vaults are covered and a touch nnywhero would tell Just what part of a vault was being handled. Tho ofllcluls can not explain the false alarms. It Is believed that mice or cockroaches or the henry Jar of a watchman's step starts the alarm. Tho alarm gives the location, so that no tlmo la lost In getting to the place. The watchman situated near tho spot known nothing of what 1ms happened. He has seen nothing, heard nothing to start tho clang of tho alarm In tho center of tho tloor nbove. In tho Inst few yenrs somo new vaults, modern In overy wny, hnve been Installed In tho treasury, but Undo Sam never puts Ids faith In tho stHtemont of any vault manufactured that he has n suro thing. These mod ern vaults nro surrounded through tho night by faithful watchmen, aud In tho day nro looked after by honest and honored employes. Tho latest of tho snfos nro In tho cash room, where much money Is paid out In tho dally transactions of business with tho de partments of tho government nnd tho banks of Washington, No watchman hns ever proreu unfnlthful to his trust.
