Taikaug, writes to the London Daily News: “I told you In rny last letter about the country people blaming us for keeping the rain off. They were boil ing little paste figures (of us) in a great pot on a fire in the street, old women saying over it: “ ‘Flour from seven homes and water from i fght! Fire wood from nine homes, boil the for eign devils! Press them down, and 10.i Vl 0 will die; Turn them over and 1,000 will die; Th row them up. and all will die.’ "(The words rhyme in Chinese and sound very fine.) It is cheerful for us, Isn't it?

Amid the thunder of the saluting guns from tho royal palace and the garri son King Alexander’s murder was at least outwardly forgotten. Here and In every garrison town ot Servia, the dawn of day was mark, ed by a salute of twenty one-guns and before the sun was well up, King Peter, on horseback, rode out from the palace. The imperial procession then started for the cathedral through the troop-lined street. Behind the soldiers were packed 4ent>e crowds who, in spite of the rainy weather, stood patiently awaiting to see the king. Tho royal heralda. cavalry and life guards and carriages with the Montengren and Servian prin cesses preceded the monarch. Beside King Peter rode his two sons, Georgs and Alexander. The cathedral was reached shortly after 8 o’clock. Repre sentatives of the foreign powers, tho cabinet ministers and others had al ready been waiting for some time. Imposing Ceremony. A« King Peter entered the metropol itan consecrated him and more artil lery salutes were fired. The king then took up his position under a can. opy and the metropolitan, assisted by many bishops and other clergy, com menced the solemn service, the choir singing ‘‘Thank Thee Ever, Lord.” Af ter prayer the premier and other min isters handed the crown and the re galia to King Peter. He kissed the arown, placed it on his head and robed himself in the royal garments. An artillery salute of 101 guns announced to the people of Belgrade that King Peter had been crowned. It wds nearly three hours before the service was concluded, and the ritual of the church complied with. King Peter afterward signed the coronation docu ment, which was witnessed by the metropolitan, the premier, the cabinet ministers and the other heads of state. Wearing the crown on his head and ful ly robed, the king left the cathedral remounted his horse and rode through the crowded street to the palace. There In the festal hall, King Peter received the congratulations of the di. plomatic corps and ethers, ascended the royal throne and once more took the sceptre and orb in his hands. The teremony of rendering homage was then performed. Agitation for a Holy War Among th* Followers of Buddha. St. Petersburg. Sept. 21.—12:45 p.m. —It is rather significant that with the success of the British expedition to Thibet and the protest of Russia against the British-Tbibetan treaty, Some of the Russian papers have sud denly become greatly disturbed over the importance of the Buddhist pil grimage to Mouran in February. According to information which has been drifting eastward from the depths of Mongolia, the agitation for a holy war noted at the time of the pilgrim-1 age to Ourga. in July last, continues. The wandering Llamas are spread ing agitation, not only among the Bud dhists of Mongolia, but amonc the fob low’ers of Buddha in the Altir people of central China, among the Russian Briats and even the second Siberian borders and In India. According to reports at Ourga. there is a general agitation among the Buddhists in fa vor of freeing themselves from the domination of China, some of them fa voring the ramoval of the Dalai Llama bo northern Mongolia and entering on a holy war for th* establishment of a Buddhist kingdom; while others advo cate appealing for the protection of ttuesia. What effect the British ex pedition and the deposition of the Da lai Llama will have on the movement Is the subject of much speculation. The Journal do St. Petersburg says It is possible that tho February pil grimage may compel Russia to attach lerious attention to the situation. “We may expect developments of tho greab est importance,” the paper adds, “and should be prepared for any eventual Ity." TO mi FIRM RESISTANCE Big Battle Believed to Be Im minent at Mukden. WAR NEWS FROM THE FAR EAST AMERICA LOSES CUBA’S TRADE. Reciprocity Treaty Has Helped Cu ban’s But Not America. Washington, Sept. 21.—The state de partment has received from Miaister Squires, at Havana, a table showing Cuba’s import trade for the first quar. ter of 1904, and for the same quarter at 1908. These figures are of special interest In that they cover the first quarter after December 2G, 1903, when the roc- iprocity treaty took effect. There was an increase of $2,038,200 in the imports of Cuba for the first quarter of 1904, over those for the same period of 1903 The minister point* out that the im ports into Cuba from the United States Increased only 3 per cent, while those from England, Germany; Spain and France increased 20, 21, 16 and 8 per cent respectively. He says he was unofficially informed that the Cu ban exports to the United States have very largely increased. “I never fail to impress upon the president and the Cuban merchants and planters with whom I com* into contact,” adds the minister, "the dan ger to reciprocity in the presemt un even trade between the two countries, and that American merchants and manufacturers will not long support an arrangement which largely increas es the market for Cuba productions and by comparison at least, decreases tho sale of our own. The situation is pretty well understood and it will not be difficult to obtain from the Cu ban government a proposition for the admission of goods of American origin on a more favorable basis."

Columbus, Ga., Sept. 21.—Had not an extra freight train strudk a pile ol crossties and cleared the track, the morning passenger train from Savan nah to Columbus might have been wrecked at a point 13 miles east ol this city Tuesday.

Tokio, Sept. 21.—Noon.—An impres sion is growing general that an en gagement will soon take place at Muk den. General Kuropatkin is evidently preparing to make a determined re sistance to any attempt to dispossess him, and is entrenching and construct ing defenses. He has an immense force available, but the opinion is ex pressed that Tie pass would be a more favorable location for defense. The Russians, however, are unwilling to suffer the loss of prestige which would be involved by the abandonment of Mukden. Both armies are now resting, and have recovered from the effects of the fight at Liao Yang. They are in con dition to fight and the weather is fa vorable for military operations. The roads are drying and tile Japanese are speedily restoring the railway. A party of military attaches who recent- |v ca.ne to Liao Yang from Tokio were dragged for 100 miles in open trucks by coolies. The army is now for warding rolling stock with captured ears and engines, and the service will be thoroughly organized. With the Liao river open, the task of transporting men and supplies to the advanced base of operations at Liao Yang is simple. There is much speculation now as to the extent of the fall and winter campaign. It U generally thought that Field Marshal Oyama wfll contin ue pressing Kuropatkin back until the winter falls and will then •trongly guard his advance line until spring. The Japanese carried on an aggressive campaign against the Chinese during the winter, but conditions are differ ent In this war. A renewal of the at tack upon Port Arthur on newer and more aggressive lines, is expected this week, and it is predicted in well Informed circles that the reduction of that fortress will be accomplished within ten days or a fortnight.

The memorial, which is very representa tive. is signed, among others, by Irish, Scotch and British peers, members of parliament, conservative, liberal and unionist, and members of the Indepen. lent Labor party. It asks for the assistance of Presi dent Roosevelt, on the ground that i is a matter of humanity and honor for ill labor unions and individuals in my way responsible for the creation if the Congo state to do what is pos sible towards the removal of the sys tem which has grown up under the governing power, and the off.nses which have accompanied it.” An Ancient Foe To health and happiness is Scrofula— as ugly as ever since time immemorial.

VICTORY FOR LUMBERMEN. St Petersburg, Sept, fl.—2:30 p.m. —General Kuropatkin, telegraphing under yesterday’s da e, declares that the situation at the front Is unchanged. He describes an outpoet fight today at Da Pass, half way between Bentsia- putze and Sintinmia. Japanese, con sisting of four companies, marched up from Dziantcbian, 23 miles north east of Saimadzi and tried to capture the pass and turn the Russian flank, but the Russians repulsed the attack and the turning movement was check ed by Russian cavalry supported by machine guns. The receipt of the new* at Tokio of the march of the Japanese from Dzian- tchian was the probable origin of the rumor that Kuroki had crossed the Hun river, which runs 20 miles north of Da Pass.

Louisville, Ky., Sept. 21.—Victory for the lumbermen of Louisville for jhoir fight for concessions from the car •ervice association is the effect of an jpinion handed down by the railroad ioimnission. The most important decision was on the question of the time from which sar service shall accrue. After a lengthy exposition of the law in vari ous states and the findings of a num ber of supreme state courts in which the same questions had been adjudi- aated. the commission rules that the hour from which free time shall count shall be either 7 o’clock of the day following placement or noon of the day for placement provided due notice of such placement is given the receivers or consigners of freight. The other Important point covered in the opin ion is the suggestion of a fixed form which shall constitute legal notice and shall bo sent to receivers of cars through the mails bearing such infor mation as is needful to the person, ad dressed. The ruling will become effective and violations will be punishable by a fine of $500 to $5,000. Tho counsel for the car service association will make no statement as to the prospective course to be pursued. The decision, however, probably will be attacked on the ground of no jurisdiction, and the case probably will be fought through the court of appeals. Automobile Ileatanrant.
