D. F. SULLIVAN, YOUR JjlOEBTrl53'tri59 South Mala St. OPENINGS IN RUSSIA American Manufactures Good Feeling fox Vo There. WASHINGTON, July Herbert II.

D. Fierce, firs secretary of die United. States embassy to Russia, has been in Washington several days on leave of absence from his post. Speaking to a representative of the press Mr. Fierce said: The reffitions between the United, States and Russia were never on a more cordial basis than at present and the friendship which is traditional between the two countries finds constant expres sion in Russia not only among officials bnt also among tbe people of all classes.

It is Dot too much to say that from the Euipe ror down to peasantry there is a sincere feeling for us and a desire to become acquainted with American methods and 'to make use in Russia of tbe skill and ingenuity which has advanced this country with such great strides. For this reason, there is a great opening in Russia for American capital and for the Introduction of American machinery and methods of doing It is an immense field, far beyond anything realized by the people in this country. Rmsia is just entering an era of tremendou properity; a Bort of commercial and industrial awakening. Here is the new field for American Enterprise and capita! for with our Pucific coast facilities, the Philippines and the trans-Siberian railroad -route, there is ready access for our goods into the very heart of Russia. During his ministry to Russia, Mr.

Hitchcocks personality and splendid business ability did much to stimulate our trade relations. The special opportunity is for investment in steel and iron industries, cotton mills and for the manufacture of tools and chiuaware. Then, too, our manufactured goods will' find! almost illimitable market, although Russias protective tariff is encouraging hef own indutries. Stfil, even with the tariff, 'she wants many of our such as steel rails, as her home production is far short of supply. In fact there is hardly a lino of American manufacturing industry that would not find profitable investment throughout -People outside of Russia hardly realize how nearly completed the trans-Sibo rian railroad is, continued Mr.

Fierce. I was told recently by Prince Hilkoff, minister of ways and communication, who has charge of this great work, that lie expected to make a trip around the world in 40 days during the coining Paris exposition, going by way of the trans-Siberian route, and he had the kindness to nsk me to accompany him on tha trip. Even now the route is almost continuous from Moscow to the Amoor rivar and then to Vladivostock on the Pacific const with the exception of a comparatively short stretch which has to be covered by post horses.

E.s LAST DAY Enthusiastic Meetings for Both. Home and Foreign Missions. July closing day of the International Christian En-deaor Convention was the busiest day of busy week. When the day is completed, there will hare been held eight great gatherings, provided the rain, which began falling just after the big morning meetings assembled, does not check operations. The tendencies of the 99 gathering along eduactioual and other practical lines have caused this to be called the educational convention.

The last quiet hour early mornlug service was largely attended. Missions were the topic in. both the great tents at the morning meetings; foreign missions in Tent Endeavor, home missions in Tent Williston. In the former meeting the foreign missionaries present were introduced to the great audience by Father En-deavorer" Clark, The first address was by Rev. Dr.

McLean of Cincinnati, llis topie was The Great Need of Missions. One of the principal addresses in Tent Williston was by Rev. C. W. Howard, of Rochester, N.

entitled Our Countrys Greatest Peril. The introduction of missionaries by President Clark was one of the features of the convention. Thirty of the workers in heathen fields spoke a sentence or two in the languages spoken In the scenes of their labors and retlred.The handclapping from their appearance to retirement was almost constant. D. B.

Eddy, of Leavenworth, Kansas, a member of the Yale Band, was introduced to speak bn The Great1 Resources of Missions. Mr. Eddy spoke of the nmeansy mechanical, inventive, political-and social, through which God had given assurances that the world is to be won for Christ. The responsibilities of Christians in carrying out Gods revealed plans, he said, are heavy, and they must go forward. The closing feature in Tent Endeavor was an address by Dr.

Robert E. Speer, of New York, on The Great Blessing of Missions. The sentiment of the home mission rally in Tent Williston, as proposed by Rev. of Massachusetts, was the Greek proverb They bearing torches passed them on from hand to hand." Rev. Dr.

W. W. Boyd of St. Louis, delivered an address on Our Countrys Many Problems. He discussed the two questions of immigration and the race problem.

For the solving otMe inimi-. gration problem, he proposed three remedies To maintain American iqeals at their, highest point by an aroused public sentiment, to legislate against the admittance of the pauper and viclons classes of Europe and to bring the combined and Quickened Christianity upon the stranger within our gates. As to the race problem, the speaker said that In his judgment the government made a great mistake which it will not be apt to change in the Philippines when it puts in the hands of the negro all the privileges and franchise of the freest government on the globe. There are two sides to this race pro! lem, said Dr. Boyd.

There is not a white man. in the.North jyho. if his wife or daughter were outraged by a beast would not rush iminediataly to vengeance. But that does not excuse, though it may palliate, the diabolical crime of lynching, and the hour is at hand Avhen decisive steps must be taken to abolish it. Christianity must settle this question; legislation can not do it.

Rev. Chns. E. Jefferson. of New York, spoke upon Our Countrys Own Salvation.

Of i the Person Who Points a Gun at Another. A CANTON WOMAN IS KILLED. The Man Had In Vain Attempted to Fire Before. BOSTON, July 10. Mrs.

Betsy Dano-vitcli, of Canton, who was wounded by the discharge of a gun at home, yesterday, died at the Massachusetts hospital, Joseph Burack is held on a charge of manslaughter, but it is thought the shooting was accidental. A number of men' who were assembled at the house of Mrs. Danovitch, yesterday, found a strange dog in the yard. Burack, who was in the party, brought a very old and unused shot gun from an outbuilding uud attempted to fire at the animal. There was no report, however, and laughing, Burack raised the gun and pointed it at Mrs.

Danovitch and pulled the trigger. A loud report followed and the woman dropped to the floor terribly wounded. Mrs. Danovitch was 52 years of age. Burack is 30, HEAVY BAIN.

Bat Saturday Night a Storm Was Not Up to ths Becord. To those who know little of the vagaries of New England weather the storm of Saturday night seemed very severe. But it was not a circumstance to what the weather can do in the way of rain when a real good example is desired. For instance, there were but .03 inches of rain that fell in an hour or more, while the record for these parts is nearly twice as great tor the same time. During the afternoon tlie rainfall was .27 inches and this morning there fell .01.

Incidentally it ought to be stated that the rain was very much needed. The farmers have been looking for a gentle rain that would come at intervals and not bult down with excessive lightning accompaniments, and the weuther suited them very well. The shoppers who were on Maid street Saturday night when the rainfall struck In will not believe much of whnt has been written above. A flood seemed to de-s-end on them and they caqnot distinguish between rain that wets them to the skin and the rain that doesnt beat tbe records. It was necessary to wads through the principal highways and the cars offered but little shelter.

The wind whistled through them and flapped soggy curtains viciously. Howsoever, it laid the dust and those who went on the cars yesterday appreciated it. Saturday nights electrical storm played havoc with the street car lines. Many of the street car men, conductors as well as motormen, were caught without their rubber clothes and were forced to stand up and take their medicine." The force wkh which the min was driven was extremely favorable to causing largo- washouts and many of them were reported. Cars were continually running off the mils on account of the sand and stones on them.

At the corner of Fourth and Plymouth avenue there is a sharp curve and the track there was buried in stones and sand and it required a careful man and skilful running to keep on the rails. Two or three times during the storm the motorman was obliged to alight and clean off the rails with his sand scoop and switch bar. Several of the cars were struck by lightning and one or both motors burned out, nlthougb no serious damage is reported. The night was made doubly hard forjhe car men by the unuRiial amount of travel on the cars. A small box carhhich went up Rodrnnn street at 10:30 had a hugO standing freight and at the end of the run the register (showed 123 registered fares, not including transfers.

The Inst car was not reported in at the Stafford road outdoor stable till the early hours of the morning. The electric cars of the Newport road and those of the Globe line were stalled near the State line Saturday night. The heavy flow of water washed large quantities of sand on the rails and progress through it was found impossible. The cars were stalled until the obstruction had been shovelled away. A tree on the South park was struck by lightning during the storm.

A bolt of lightning struck a skylight in C. S. Greenes music store Saturday The only damage done was small liole( which was cut as clean as if done with a knife. The bolt passed off without further damage. The lightning Sntnrdny night was particularly severe in Tiverton.

Nathaniel B. Church's windmill at Nanaquaket was struck and a board ripped off the tank, letting out all the water. The barn back of the old tavern was also struck and a horse belonging to Ephraim Lake was killed, although there were no marks on its body. The only damage to the barn was the splintering of a few boards where the bolt entered. i the request of the mill firemen and had cent reports of widespread famine in Rns- increase of 17 cents per hour, sia and the appeal issued in London for 1 was not true.

WANT $8000 RANSOM Cuban Bandits Catch a Rich Spanish Merchant. OTHERS HUG CITIES CLOSE As They Have Been Warned of Plots Against Them. HAVANA, July 10. Press dispatches from San Cristobal give accounts of the kidnapping of Gutierrez Cells, a rich. Span ish merchant of that place, by a number of bandits.

He disappeared from his home eight days ago, and his family had no knowledge of his whereabouts, but they supposed that he had been suddenly called away on, business. Saturday a letter signed by Gutierrez was received by his family, stating that bandits had captured him and taken him to the mountains, where he would be held until a ransom of $S000 was paid for his release. Rural guards immediately started for the mountains to search for him. Gutierrez was president of the Conservative party during the Spanish regime, and was a man of much influence. It is reported that a number of other rich Spaniards in San Cristobal have received anonymous letters warning them to be careful, as bandits are plotting to kidnap them.

NEW YORK, July 10. Four men who claimed they represented the majority of the employes of the Metropolitan street railway, called ou President Vreeland this morning. The men were cordially received by the president, who said, however, that he could not look upon them as the representatives of a mnjority of the employes, as only half an hour before 13 men had called on him with a statement that had been signed by a large number of the companys men. These men said they were perfectly satisfied and had no griev ances against the company. The four men stated that they had no personal griev ances against the company, bnt were acting for a majority of the men.

On leaving the building they said they were going to see General Master Workman Parsons, and in their opinion a strike would be called this afternoon. President Vreeland, however, was of the opinion that the employes of the company would not go out on strike. SUNDAY HARVESTING. Churchas Cloaad While Farmers Work to Save Their Crope.

balance of our CIVIL SSBVICE CHANGES. Complaint of the Commission to the Secretary of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, July civil service- commission has made public its letter to the secretary of the treasury of Jnue 23 last, asking that the comptroller of the treasury be required to review his recent decision in the matter of the alleged illegal appointment of deputy United States marshals. In the course of his decision the comptroller said: k-vI will not go buck of the certificate of appointment by the heud of a department or appointing powers where no direct law has been violated and attempt to ascertain whether such an officer making such appointment has disregarded some rule or regulation of the civil service commission or some rule or regulation of his own regarding the classified service. The comptroller makes a clear distinction between the violation of law by the "President and the violntion of the rules and regnlations made by him and says: I prefer to let the responsibility rest where it rightfully Irclougs and follow the precedent of years In my office, to recognize the certificate of appointment of the head of a department or other appointing t0 0(Hce or whre rJoh ap.

pf(Illtment if) not in Th)latlon of law. nr without authority of law. You art authorized to pay such deputy if his action in other respects is correct. The commissioners in their letter contend that the appointments under consideration were made in violation of the express terms of the law, and quote numerous authorities to show that the rules and regulations have all the force and effect of law, and that exception to these rules and regulations can be legnlly made only in the manner provided by the law. The letter concludes as follows: Thns from another point of view, also, we must arrive at the same conclusion as indicated in the early part of this discussion.

namely, (1) that the comptroller does pot intend to hold that to long as a position once in the classified service is not excepted from the requirement incident thereto, an appointment can be made to such position without compliance with the provisions of the civil service law and rules requiring such appointment to bo made through examination and certification by the committee (2) that consequently, the only question left at issue is how, if at oil, a position once in the classified service can be legally excepted or withdrawn from the requirements of law incident t9 Its classification And it has already been pointed out in the first part of this communication (1) that the law prescribes a certain definite manner in which only the position Cun be thus withdrawn or excepted; (2) that in the case before tbe comptroller the position was not withdrawn or excepted in the manner prescribed, and (3) conse-oncntlr the conclusion rnnnot be esenpoj that the appointment to the position in manner contrary to that prescribed was illegal and void and hence the person npj poiuted was not entitled to any compcnsi tion or emolument accruing therefrom.

WITH FIXED BAYONETS Troops Cleaned the Streets of London, Ont. LONDON, Ont July fixed bayonets the regular soldiers cleared the streets of the city Saturday morning.

A mob, which defied the police, had nine hours held pohsession of the main thoroughfares', attacking the street cars, which were being run by nonunion men.

London, July 10. The Author has published a letter from Rudyard Kipling, which ends by setting forth explicitly the grounds on which his case against certain Amerioan publishers rests. He concludes: They have made me responsible before a public to whom I do peculiarly owe the best and most work I can turn out. for on egregious padded fake, and all these thifigs they did, taking advantage of the publics interest in my illness, when I lay at the point of death. I do not see how I can permit their action to pass without challenge.
