Opinion that Peace VIII he Msintained
BERLIN, May 6-It 10 stated that Prince Bis
marck expressed to Mr.. Carl Schurz his positive
conviction that the peace of Europe would be
maintained. The Chancellor said that he
thought the reinstatement Of Gen. Bogandowach
by the Russian government afforded no
ground for apprehension. He was con-
fden. that the Cars word would
prove more powerful than that OF General
Ignstief and his partisans. With regard to
France the Chancellor said that disturbance
of the peace through any Boulsnger adventure
was ont of the question. On this point he spoke
with such emphasis that Mr.. Schurz gathered
that Prince Bismarck desired that his views
which we're SO much &C variance with those OF
the press, should be made known. Mr.. Schurz
has gone to Hamburg. He will return here in
June.
The Russian military chiefs who recentl as
sembled in ST. Petersburg declared that Russia
would not be in position for long time to at
tack European power Even her defe psivs

of railways. 1t was decided to construct three

dali against it. that the prospects are fiatterine
for nrst-class political difficulty. lam told
that the Randall Democrats have rsfrained from
going to the President or Secretary of the Treas
ury for official favors during all Of the present
session Of Congress. The reason they have
done this is because they do not want to place
themselves under obligation to support the taYin
bill, contingent upon which are all Official favors
given. and because the Presidents and Secretary
Fairchild are in the habit Of catechising all Dem
ocratic members who approach them, and ascer-
tanning what their position il on tariff reform.
1t is not charged that either the President or
Mr. Fairchild attempts to directly pledge men,
bers who get official favors to vote for the tariff
bill, but it goes as matter Of course, that there
shall Dc reciprocity. aud the only favor these
officials have asked OF Democratic members

under the auspices of the New York City Church
Extension and Missionary Society The meet
ing was opened by Rev. Dr. EnsiRn McChesnsy.
of St Paul's NJ. Z. Church on Fourth avenue.
The sermon was pre- ached by Bishop Charles II.
Fowler, d. D., LII. D., OF San Francisco. He
spoke on the death of Jesus Christ to save man.
hood He said that IL was the coarsest, the
most brutal cruelty to punish the innocent for
the guilty. But Christ died to save the world.
''Sin,' he continued. lis not punishable on its
own account. not because OF its dement's. and
there 10 nothing in justice making it necessary
to punish sin becauee it s sin but it is punished
because of the demands of the Innocent. Sin
has right, not even the right to be punished.
Righteousness commands justice. Law must
have the sanction Of the penalty, otherwise IL
will be only advice" In conclusion. Bishop
Fowler said Christ was exempt from penalty in
dying TO save the world. The groups of clergy
men about the opera house discussed with great
interest these views Of the Bishop. after the
close Of the meeting.

Matthew Arnold q the High Jump:

1t is not 80 surprising that Matthew Arnold
should have made an attempt to jump the low
fence which he came upon in the course of the
walk no took on the day before his death, when
is q remembered that he was at Rugby at time
when the high jump was cultivated more, per-
haps. than any other athletic exercise. Il il
written in the annals OF Oxford, too how on
certain Sunday afternoon. some forty years ago
or 40, soon after young Arnold had been elected
. fellow Of Orisl, he cleared the Unknown
spiked ratings in front Of Wadham College.
The actual height OF these railings is feet and
3 inches. and the fact that. Arnold jumped
them from the college side and aliehted on the
fagstones Of the street pavement is considered
to add to the merits Of the feat. In his Rugby
days Arnold cleared at least two inches more
than this, though he WAS never able TO clear
