IS APPEASED BY DUKE Awkward Istvostchnik Who Collided with Royal Russian's Automohile Given a Surprise. Ä PLAY OF PATRIOTISM ST. PETERSBURG. April 21. Grand Duke Michael, heir apparent, attired in his usual uniform of an officer of the guards, yesterday afternoon piloted an automobile from the Antichow Palace and ran Into the vehicle of an awkward istvostchnik. The carriage, however, was only slightly injured, but the accident aroused the ire of the whoman who occupied the vehicle, and who. unaware of the rank of the driver of the motor car, cried out in a loud, indignant voice that it was a shame to allow harebrained officers to "dash about in this mad fashion." The grand duke raised his hat and expressed his regret at the accident, but the woman was not mollified. The istvostchnik, also unaware that it was the heir apparent, exclaimed in an injured tone, "See what you've done, your honor." The policeman on tho beat rushed up, terror-stricken, at salute, having recognized the grand duke. The grand duke inquired the amount of the damage, and. when informed it was 10 roubles, offered double this amount. .At this point the policeman, unable to restrain himself longer, revealed the identity of the driver of the motor car. The woman Jumped from the carriage and vanished In the crowd which had gathered. The istvostchnik, shamefaced, said: "I cannot take twenty, your Imperial Highness. I paid ten before I knew who you were, and I stick to It." When the grand duke ordered him to take twenty the man replied that he would give ten of the roubles to the navy. "In that case." responded Grand Duke Michael, "come to me to-morrow and I will give you fifty." Then, amid tho cheers of the crowd, which had enjoyed the contretemps, the grand duke drove off.

SIGNALED

FOR THEJHOSPITAL SHIP Flags Went Up as the Petropavlovsk Struck the Mine Stoicism of Sailors Under the Knife. TORPEDO BOAT'S ACTION PORT ARTHUR. April 21. An incident in connection with the loss of the battleship Petropavlovsk is told by the survivors, who say that Vice Admiral Makaroff turned to the signal man and instructed him to signal to the hospital ship Mongolia to come to the outer harbor from the inner anchorage. As the Hags wer hoisted the ship struck the mine ami went down. The Mongolia saved forty-seven of the crew. The surgeon of the Mongolia has written a letter, in which he enthusastically describes the fortitude of the Russian sailors who survived the disaster. He says they are men of great aud indescribable heroism, undergoing the most painful operations stoically. As an example he cites the case of one man who, after being iv long time under the surgeon s knife, thanked him for leaving him his legs, and begged permis sion to smoke, later asking that he might nave- a drink of vodka with his dinner. The commander of the torpedo boat destroyer Silnl. when his wounds had been dressed, visited the suffering sailors. Their nrst words expressed solicitude for the fate of the Silnl. "Did she get in all right?" they asked. "Can she soon return to service? Through his moans the engineer of the torpedo boat destroyer begged for information regarding her engines. A thrilling description has been given the Silni's running- side by side with a torpedo boat, the identity of which her men were unable to establish. Every man on deck strained his eyes to pierce the darkness. It was impossible to signal, as the Silni would thus have shown what she was. The other boat was also uuable to signal for the same reason. They approached closer and closer, when suddenly it was discovered that the other boat was a Japanese vessel. She became aware of the Silni's nationality at the same moment, and both fired broadsides simultaneously. The Silni's men believed they sank their opponent.

DEVELOPMENT OF KOREA

IS Japanese Bank Started at Anju and Two Other Banks Are Under Consideration. TRADE CONTINUES ACTIVE SEOUL, April 21. That the civil as well as thy military occupation of Korea is effective i.4 evidenced by the economic developments under consideration and the extension of banking activity. The Daiiehi Ginko, a Japaneso bank, has opened a branch at Anju for the purpose of handling military funds and engaging in bullion and specie transactions with the American mines at Unsan. A Korean bank has been long desired, but it has not been established, owing to the lack of public confidence In the Integrity of a Keoean management. M. Maisumato, a capitalist of Osaka, Japan, now proposes to utilize Korean and Japanese capital for the organization of a bank similar in its scope to the RussoChinese Bank in China tofinancc and stimulate industrial enterprise?. M. Nagamori. whose agricultural investigation has resulted in the; formation of an extensive scheme for cultivating waste land of Korea, is at the -head of another banking venture in Korea; The Japanese authorities are sending an ollielal to the Anju region to resupply the Korean farmers of that locality with seed grain, tho retreating Russians having divested them of their stock in hand. This will insure a crop for the coming year and tho provisioning of the Japanese army in Korea. The Korean trade returns for the quarter ending March 31, notwithstanding the fact that there had been practically no exirt of rice, show that the imports, while smaller than those of the corresponding quarter of 1003, exceed those of the quarter ended Dec. 31, and this is taken to indicate that the war has caused comparatively little rural uneasiness, and has not unusually disturbed the average prosperity of the country. STABS A CALLER HE TOOK FOR BURGLAR NEW YORK, April 24.-Aelolph Mempe and James Backus, a negro waiter, mistook each other for burglars in a dark hallway of Mrs. Margaret Fisher's boarding house at midnight, and had an encounter, in which Backus stabbed Mempe in the back. He was sent to the Hahnemann Hospital. Mempe had escorted Miss Matilda Renz home from the theater, and was talking to her in the hallway, when Backus was aroused by hearing voices. Thinking burglars were in the house, he armed himself with the dagger, crawled cautiously downstairs and Fprang at Mempe. The latter, believing his adversary was a burglar, clinched with him and was cut in the scuffle. Backus was arrested, and said at a hearing before Magistrate Cunningham that, as the house had been robbed three weeks a$.o, he became suspicious and bought the dagger. He said he was sorry he had made a mistake. RENTS ARE RAISED ON KEEPERS OF POULTRY GLENN VILLE, Conn., April 2i.-Hens whose products are worth 24 cents a dozen are cutting a considerable figure just now with the American Felt Company, operating the Hawthorne woolen mills here, and employing nearly 5X hands. Letters have been written to each of the twenty employes who occupy the company's tenements and cottages, warning them that they mu3t pay double rent if they keep hens. The men are up in arm about it. NEEDS OF MEN DEMAND A GOD ASFATHER, A PERSON Rev. Joshua Stansfield Speaks on the Trinity of the "Holy Catholic' Church. DEMANDS OF SCRIPTURE "We believe in the 'hoiy' catholic church as made up of believers in Jesus Christ, who have been saved and sanctioned in Him. The 'holy catholic' church is a religious moral society, representing the life of Christ in the earth. By the 'catholic church we mean the church universal; that is, as embracing all persons who believe in and are purified by Jesus Christ." said the Rev. Joshua Stansfield at the Meridianstreet M. E. Church yesterday morning in his sermon on "The Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints." Continuing, Mr. Stansfield said: ,"The Holy Ghost, personal, divine, the administrator of the kingdom, convincing, enlightening, empowering, witnessing, sanctifying. The mode of the divine existence has ever been a subject fruitful of controversy. On the divineness of the Holy Spirit, and also that He proceeds from the Father and from the Son, there will be little difference of opinion, but the true personality of the Spirit, as personally distinguished from the Father and the Son, is much more easy to allirm than intelligently to set forth without being clearly open to the charge of tritheism. "The mode of the divine existence is, we think, far more metaphysical than it is either doctrinal or scriptural. It certainly does seem true that the manifestation of the divine life in and through the Holy Spirit is such as only to be intelligently read and understood of a personal power. Personal acts are performed by Him, personal worship paid to Him, personal attributes ascribed to Him, etc., etc., and one is bound to admit that the old arguments for the personality of the Divine Spirit have some force. "On the other hand, we must concede that the leap to the personality of the Holy Spirit as a separate being from the Father and the Son carries one, whether he admits it or no. to the position of a believer in more gods than one. In the progressive revelation of himself unto men God has been known to the dispensations as Father, as Son, and as Holy Spirit, and If it be the one God that is thus known then, call It by what heretical name you may, the conclusion is both rational and logical that we must use the term 'person' as touching the Trinity in a purely accommodated sense. The difficulty is metaphysical and philosophical rather than doctrinal and moral. "Doctrinally and morally considered, the needs of men and the terms of Scripture demand the Infinite God as Father, a person; as Son. a person; as Spirit, an indwelling personal power. The imperious needs of life demand personal concept and terms ef God, whether as Father, Son or Holy Spirit. The holy catholic church' not Roman Catholic, for two reasons: First, It is not holy, or its holiness is official rather than personal: second, it is not catholic, but very exclusive. Neither do we mean the Anglican church, with its 'hierarchical claims of holiness' 'through and 'by' ordinances and offices. But not thus do we believe in holiness as communicable unto men. In the last analysis holiness does not inhere in offices, orders or tilings. "Holiness Is a personal quality, and, urictly speaking, inheres only in personality. Of course, we speak, and rightly, of the Holy Bible, but not because the paper, or printing, or workmanship, therein is better than in some other book, but we speak thus because it conveys from one person divine to another human words, thoughts, impressions, which are holy and true. And so we may affirm of this altar i ail before me, though out of this same material there might have been made a saloon counter. Holiness inheres essentially in personality only, and in things only, as a medium through which personul'ty may express itself. I'Irven Hurled Mm Rescued. MADRID. April 24.

Fell Mne Stories to Hin Death. CHICAGO. April 24. Dr. Edward Henry Lee. a leading surgeon of Chicago and a well-known club man, plunged nine stories to almost instant death to-day in the clubhouse of the Chicago Athletic Association, where he made his home. The open shaft surrounding the winding stairway was the space through which he fell. The fall was accidental. HONORABLE FAILURE IS NEXT BESTJO SUCCESS Dr. Alhert Hurlstone Speaks at Roberts Park Church of "The Glory of Failure." FAILURE OFTEN BEST "The best thing iSjto honorably succeed, the next best is to honorably fail." These words sounded the keynote of Dr. Albert Hurlstone's sermon last night at the Roberts Park M. E. Church. The theme of hi3 sermon was the "Glory of Failure." the text from John xvi, 33. Dr. Hurlstone spoke in part as follows: "The familiar cry in the temple at Ephtsus was 'Great is Diana of the Ephesians.' The dominant note in the music of our own age is 'Great is Success, the Goddess of the Americans.' The worship of success by Itself, apart from the means used to get it, is one of the worst faults of human nature. The only success wo'rth the name is when a man gains a living, or a competence, or wealth, without paying too dear for it. True success is when a fair share of this world does not cost either moral or intellectual or physical health or life. Character is the best capital in the end. To have lived well is better that to have made money. "The gieatest conqueror this world ever saw was the Nazarene peasant. He had no money, was ignominiously murdered, and yet was rich in untold wealth and truly and gloriously said I have overcome the world.' The best thing is to honorably succeed, the second best, to honorably fail. "Failure is honoraDle, because it presupposes effort. Tho nronhtt nmw.i ..JD jected by the people in nis old age. After all his noble and lifelong devotion to his country and his efforts to establish the theocracy they clamored for a king. But if you look at the manner in which Samuel treated his successor,' whom the people chose, you will see the true grandeur of soul which marks one of nature's noblemen. After the mortification of his own rejection was displayed the real glory of failure. "Failure is often only the prelude to success. The pioneer and the explorer owe not a little to the priceless tradition and literature of failure. If the north pole is ever reached, half the glory will be due to those who failed, but who have shown by their failures and sufferings und pitiable deaths what routes are hopeless. It is something to know our limitations of temperament and circumstance. It is so in religion. Failure to save ourselves results in our acceptance of the glory of Christ's salvation. 'This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith ' "The glory of Hagnr's faiiure to find the water for her dying boy is seen in that God opened her eyes and gave her to orink of the living water and to minister to all succeeding ages in their sorrow Men frequently fail in business and health', their plans ar completely overturned because they leave God out of the question And their failure is the prelude to a true success. "Failure in one thing often leads to success in another. General Lew Wallace felt that he failed to hold his own in a conversation with Col. Robert G. Ingersoll. This drove him to an investigation of the New Testament and Christian evidences, the result the world knows. He received inspiration to write 'Ben-Hur,' a work of genius and merited popularity. David tailed to build the temple, but he was ennobled by the ideal and God said. "Thou didst well that it was in thine heart.' We call it Solomon's temple, but the brain of David conceived the idea nd the heart of David gave its treasures in preparation. "Can we then believe that great ideas, ligin thoughts, pure high feeling, believing supplication can fruitlessly pass away? Is all this wasted power?" Does the spirit of God inspire all this in vain? It cannot be! Much that we count failure will be ?een in another light hereafter. Following in the footsteps of Christ the young, the roor. the beaten man, the unsuccessful man may yet say, I have overcome the world. And even in the presence of death, our last enemy, we may say, Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,'

Japan Moves Cautiously, with a Fixed Purpose in Sight

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) involve tne ambitious invasion of the interior of Manchuria with the purpose of reaching and overwhelming the main Russian army. If the Japanese ever entertained the hope of accomplishing a task similar to that which Napoleon set himself, present advices indicate that they have abandoned it and have adopted a much more cautious and less hazardous programme. If this information is correct there will be no advance of the army concentrated at Lioa-Yang and Mukden, with Its attendant constant lengthening and weakening of the Japanese line of communications. Instead, theie seems to be a determination to stick as close as possible to the sea, where lies Japan's natural base of communication, she having established herself in Korea. The general staff's reports say the Japanese still have three other objectives the occupation of a line across the Llao-Tung peninsula, for the purpose of cutting off Port Arthur, the isolation of Vladivostok and the establishment of a junction between the army of Korea and the force at the head of the Liao-Tung peninsula. The last mentioned movemen1 might be accomplished by a landing near the mouth of TaYang river, which, by threatening the flank of the Russian position at Feng-Huan-Cheng, might render it untenable and make the advance of a column from Korea comparatively easy. If these plans should succeed the life of both Russian squadrons in the Pacific would be menaced, and with the sea and a fleet back of her at every point Japan could fortify the positions thus gained, and, with the tables turned, compel General Kuropatkin to go forward and attack. General Kuropatkin, however, is in possession of the latest advices received by the general staff, and it is safe to assume that if the Japanese campaign develops along the lines indicated he will be ready to make such disposition of his forces as will meet and checkmate it. REPORT ON FRIDAY'S FIGHT ON THE YALU ST. PETERSBURG, April 24. Official dispatches regarding the fighting south of the river Pomakua, reported last Friday, in which a Russian detachment had three men killed and two officers and thirteen men wounded, say a Japanese troop-laden barge and other boats emerged from the mouth of the Pomakua and attempted to cut off the Russian retreat. The barge was sunk by the Russian guns. Captain Smeizin, who commanded the detachment, has died of his wounds. Lieutenant Pushkin was the other officer wounded. Further details concerning the skirmish say that in following up the general plan to harrass and impede the Japanese crossing the Yalu, the Russian outposts on the river sent a detachment of' volunteers in boats on the night of April 21 for the purpose of setting fire to the Japanese pontoons and other bridge material. The boats grounded on a sand bank near the Korean side and drew the fire of the Japanese outposts. There was a sharp fusillade at close range. The position of the boats was very critical owing to the appearance of a number of light barges filled with Japanese, coming out of a small tributary stream, called the Pomakua, which is unmarked on the maps of the Russian general staff. The intention of the barges was to cut off the retreat of the Russians. This was noticed from the other bank, two miles distant, and two field guns opened fire. A lucky shot sank one of the barges and the others withdrew. The Japanese casualties are not known. CORPS FOR SPECIAL SERVICE MOBILIZED ST. PETERSBURG, April 24. By imperial orders there has been organized at Port Arthur one battalion of miners, one battalion of military telegraphers, four battalions of Rippers, each to include two pontoon and one telegraph detachment, and one USES CAR- ) DEATH T0P0INT MORAL Rev. Newbert Says One Not Criminal Because Atheist, but Atheist Because Criminal. IS POWERFUL SERMON In a remarkably forceful discourse, delivered at All Souls Church yesterday, the Kev. E. E. Newbert made an epigrammatic statement to the effect that men are not criminals because they are atheists, but atheists because they are criminals. In speaking of tho car-barn bandits executed last week, who went to their deaths with prayers on their lips, he said that their god must be but a mythical one and their heaven a mirage, because while only one of them professed atheism, allof them had lived the life of atheists. He said in part: "All men agree that the way of the transgressor Is hard. Indeed, this is no new thought. It is as old as the Bible, and is as the voice of the law written in men's hearts. For illustration of its truth we need only to turn to the daily press. Two or three recent instances come to mind. Great the change from a man's well-ordered homo and from his place in society to a prison. There is an element of pathos ir. the case of the Elkhart bank wreckers,. Justice was ewift and sure. Nor do they suffer alone. Their wives and children and friends go to prison with thern. Stockholders and depositors suffer loss. Another instance is that of Senator Burton, of Kansas. Still another that of the men identified with the extensive postal frauds. "What is back of the fall of these men who once moved among their fellows bearing a reputation for honesty and character? What were they seeking? What their compelling motive? The answer is not far to seek. The incidents named are evidence of the extreme commercialism of the age "These men were after money, more money than they could legitimately earn. "Again we have a vivid illustration of the thought in hand in the conviction and execution of the so-called car-barn bandits of Chicago. Three young men paid the penalty for their many crimes last week on the scaffold. Before the Incident passes to be forgotten in some new sensation let the young man ponder it. One at least of these three seems not to have been a criminal up to two or three years ago. He was a mechanic, but was led by evil associates. Within the shadow of the gallows he remarked that he had a good mother, and that had he kent to his trade and read ; good books he would at that hour have been enjoying lire ana liDerty. uui ne nas gone with the others. "One of these young bandits professed himself an atheist. But it should be noticed that he was not a criminal because he was an atheist. Rather was he an atheist because he committed crime. Every criminal is an atheist. For no thif believes in God. No murderer believes in God. No man who hurts his fellow-men believes in God. Such by their very acts deny the existence of the moral order of the "world apart from which we may hunt for God in vain. "The two others wenf to the scaffold with some sort of a prayer on their lips. Itut what avail for such Is prayer? Their God is only a shadow cast by the fear of death, and their heaven but a celestial mirage. The way of the transgressor Is not onlyhard; it is long. Mayberthe church has preached too much of salvation, and said too lit He or righteousness. But death-bed repentence and ante-mortem godliness aside, religion calls for the clean hand and the pure heart." Ilpe OrKHii tu 3IcKlnley' Memory. HARRISBURG. Ta., April 24.

REV. PEARSON'S SERMON Yesterday morning was an eventful morning at the First Friends' Church, as thirty-four persons were received into the church, making a total of fifty new converts since last September. The church is in excellent condition and prospering. The Rev. M. C. Pearson delivered the sermon for the morning service, using as his theme. "Hearing and Assimilating the Truth." His text was taken from the parable of the sower. In part he said: "Lying at the very heart of this beautiful story of the sower, who goes forth and in a broadcast fashion sows the wheat on all kinds of soil, is a thought which forms itself into some searching interrogations. "What am I doing with the truth I hear? What is my attitude toward all the messages of truth which come to me from so many sources? How am I profited by the song, the sermon, the word, the book, the counsel of a friend? How do I hear? The emphasis does not rest on the sower, nor on the word, but on the character of the soil. "The principle herein set forth is universal. This view and classification of society is true to fact in every age. There are now and always will be men whose hearts are impervious, crusted, calloused. They are clothed in a coat of mail which wards off the arrows of truth. Others hear and are moved with emotion. They receive the truth, acknowledge its claims, but have no depth of conviction. They are shallow, and there can be no fruitage from such a character. "Still others hear and receive the truth, but they are overmastered by the world, the .deceitfulness of riches, passion for other and baser things, and thus the truth is smothered and dies. The other class hears the word, receives it with open and unprejudiced minds. They recognize the value and power of truth, and by assimilation it becomes a part of the very texture of their lives and characters. "The essential thing about me is my character, what I am. My character is made up of the things I hear and receive and assimilate. It is the truth which makes men free. Salvation stands for the evolution of a Christlike character. It is a process of growth. Its field is that of purified physical sensibilities, purified mental and moral sensibilities. By a elaily mortification of evil tendencies and a daily assimilation of the truth of Jesus Christ there comes the assurance of a fruitage of thirty, sixty or a hundred fold."
