Vincent, and by Lewis Miller, Inventor of the Buck eye mowing machine. This suit on which the appeal was grant ed was begun by Frederick W. MeKee, a prominent business man of PitUburg in 1002, and contain* many allegations of a sensational nature. In fact, it strikes at the very foundation of the great institu tion , and" demands the complete abolish ment of the system under which it has been conducted for nearly a quarter of a century." j MeKee charges (no** mismanagement, that the trustee* have so overburdened the institution "with debt that it is practically bankrupt, and thai uuK-.-s conditions are changed Chautauqua will become only ,i nanie of .painful memory to its thousand?! of student* all over the United States. Although the suit is of utmost import ance and has been In the courts for two years few particular* pertaining to it have reached the public ear. About three years .«j?o Mr. McKee an a number „'of' others.; who i have expended thousand* of dollar* , for , summer homes on the shore of Chautauqua lake, where they imbibed the healthful atmosphere and derived the benefits of the teaching, came to the conclusion ill. there was something \itnlly wrfong in the management of 'he institution, that the trustees were too de-potic and more bent ■on , self-perpetua tion in office than anything else, that the bookkeeping was farcical, and that the ''lot bolder*''-' great .interests"were being entirely ignored. McKee Blade known his grievances but, he a*«erts, was given no satisfaction whatever.

The answer also asserts that if it were generally known how little compensation i is received by the noted lecturers who |p to the institution every summer, these bul warks of ChAUtauqua fame would hot con sider an invitation either to lecture or in struct. ■ ■ , In reply to Mr. McKeVs demand that town meetings be held and trustee* elected annually the answer states that if »eh plan were put into operation the men who are now most prominently identified With the (lmutauo.ua work, would leave the in si it ut ion forever.

The objects were to promote Sunday school interests and other kindred moral and religious interests by holding annual public meetings at Fair Point, ChaUtauqua county, V V. The trustees were to be five in number. In 1880 the name was changed to Chau tauqua assembly, and in 1902 to Chautau qua institution.

We were agreeably surprised to ml thai yesterday storm !ia<! given way to a blazing sun and tin' air was quite warm in «nit.. ■•< ilie soggy dampness that enveloped everything. The town consists of 30 or 40 European j building*, comprising stores. ,i hotel, a club house, the consulates and the offices of tile trading and, KteanMhtp companies. The Chinese cii\ !n - back a little from' (In river and is simply a hive of low mini huts, crowded together mi narrow, filthy alleys mil swarming with natives, The Chinese hers /are much-darker than those further south, and. in fact, the Man rliuriiui is more .nearly the color of an j Indian than yellow. As soon a- the MBI was well up a bit? detachment of troops were matched into town Iron) their liaTujM outside. They were lined 11ji in -ia large open square or public plaza and a priest performed the mass and services of Kiister. according to the rites of the f.lreek church, The men had laid aside their fur coats and were spick and »iian, making a fine looking body of soldiers. The privates are] short and stocky with jet black hair and I swarthy skin*, while the officers arc near ly all very light -complected with blonde hair and beard*. The officers are a hand l some lot and they art' good-natured, genial ! and hospitable. The most interesting fact "i the service was when the men sang an thems ami response*.. The Russian peasant dearly loves music ami a- the solemn Treasures boomed out from 3.000 to 4,000 hairy heads ii made music worth going miles to hear. The Russian officer is a noble, and the soldier is a serf. Of course, serfdom no longer technically exists, but nevertheless' there is no bond except discipline and the I master and servant relations of "centuries I that holds this army together. An officer may strike, kick or even shoot a private, and no questions arc asked, but no soldier hesitates to obey the most trivial com-1 mand even one given by an officer who is too drunk to know ■ what he is talking about. Today the town and especially the sol diers are greatly excited because they ex pect the Japanese to come tonight to bom bard the fort, five miles down the river, and capture Xewclnvang. Within a radius of 1") miles are about 33,000 men, and while the services were going on in the park a steady stream of | artillery was being dragged through the rivers of mud called streets, from the camps back of the town to a position down at the mouth of the river. With the guns went wagon loads of am munition and long. trains of supplies ami equipment for he men. As . the clanking artillery trains creak by, each gun pulled by from six to twelve horses, the artillery men catch the anthem from the troops in the park and plod grimly on with their work of war while they chant the Russian equivalent of the Easter sentiment. "Peace on earth and pood will toward men."' The salutation for today is "Christ is "Risen,"' whenever two men meet'whether they be two privates or two officers, and j then each kisses the other a resounding smack on the cheek. • We paid our respects to United States Consul Henry li. Miller, and later to Mr. Grossfe, the Russian civil governor of the j town. Mr. Gross* is cordial and hopes! we will have a gifld time here. He tell* us linllv what We can and cannot do and where we may and Way not go. "'lake all the pictures you please, but no pictures outside the town and none, of course, of j forts or earthworks.

Because today is a great Russian holiday and because vodka flows free on I Russian festival days it is expected that | the Japs will drop in with their fleet to ll night ami try to tnke the town. There i , j lively betting on whether or not the Jap anese come at all. and one man offers •'! ■ to 10 that, they will lire on the fort before ! midnight. i Though the Russian figures that the Japanese, if they come tonight, will do it i in hopes of firfflfng him fuddled with holi . day drink, ii never occurs to him to fool 'I the Jap by not drinking. Oh, no, this is I Easter, and he drains the fiery vodka cup ' and clanks his sword and spurs as with ■ I Hushed face and unsteady step, as the I evening falls he shouts defiance — and if the Jap had cine this evening he would have found many a man a bit too woozy to lii.'lv his best. Where are the Japanese and why are they delaying their land attack? 'I his question I have heard debated from Tokio to Tientsin and from Shanghai to Sliauhaiquan. The most interesting answer I heard tonight from' a man who has means of hearing considerable of the doing* !of the secret service.. This man says that the delay is caused by the fact that the elaborate plan of campaign evolved by the Japanese was sold to Russia by a colonel of engineers in Tokio for about $100,000. j Luckily the Japanese learned of the treach- I cry in time to avoid falling into the Rus , sian's hands and they have had to arrange ; and plan for an entirely new land cam paign. The betrayal was discovered by the fact . that several men on secret missions were . arrested in various places on the same dr.y by the Russians, showing that they , must be in possession of official secrets. .
