Worlds Columbian Exposition, on beng
| asked by DISPATCH reporter to tell MN
something that would be OF interest 10
the Iron-Hall members and what had been
accomplished at the meeting OF the Su--
preme Sitting. replied that he considered
the Iron Hall in better condition to-day
than 1t had been for two years previous 10
the appointment of receiver. This I'M
provement he attributed largely TO the
fact that the order had been relieved OF
its late supreme justice.
THE ORDER REoRGANIZED.

cords" Mir. BloOmberg continued, re-
yealed the fact that Nav %. 1898. Vas tue

THE DECISION.

We DECIDE and determine as TO the nVe points
mentioned 10 Article o, Ss 70 which our award ~
10 embrace a distinct decision upon each OF
tnem.
AZ TO the first OF said five points, we, Baron do
Courcel, John NJ. Harlan, Lord Hammer, SIR
John ;. ID. Thompson, Marquis bmilio fisconti-
Fenosta, and Gregero W. ". Gram, being ma
iority OF said arbltrators, do decide as follows:
BY the ukase OF 1921 Russia claimed urls
diction in the sea known as Rering Sea TO the
extent OF 100 Italian miles from the coasts and
Islands belonging 10 her. but In the course OF the
negotiations which led 10 the conclusion OF the
treaty Of 1924 with the United states, ana the
treaty OF 1925 with Great Britain, Russia ad-
mitted that her jurisdiction In said sea should
be restricted 30 ~ 10 reach cannon snOt
from shore. IL appears that from that tune
up 10 the time OF tho cession OF Alaska TO the
United States, Russia never asserted IN
fact or exercised any exclusive jurisdiction IN
Boring Sea or any exclusive rights to the seal
fisheries therein beyond the ordinary limit OF
territorial waters. As to the second OF the nye
points the same erbitrctors decide and deter
mine that Great Britain did not recognize or
concede any claim upon the part OF Russia OF
exclusive Jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries In
Boring Sea outside the ordinary territorial
waters As to the third point-as TO 30 much
thereof as requires US to decide whether the body
OF water now known as Bering Sea was include al
IN the phrase Pacific Ocean as used
In tho treaty OF 1925 between Great Britain and
Russil-we unanimously decide that the body
Of water now known rs Boring Sea was included
In the phrase Pacific Ocean," a. used In SAID
treaty. On the fourth point we decide and de-
termlne that ALI the rights OF Russia
TO jurisdiction and 20 the seal fisheries passed
TO the United states limited by the cession.

1t is obviously impossible for all the WASH
ingtonians interested in the proceedings of the
Presbyterian General Assembly to find even
standing room in the New York Avenue Church,
but that fact need not distress those who fail to
secure admission. OF course it would be
pleasant to hear the addresses and to
study the personalities OF those who de-
liver them, but those who are privileged
to do this will succeed only after great tribula-
ton The thousands who fail are, however. to
be represented in the daily meetings and may

In spite OF all that legislation has done to
discourage immigration there still pours into
this land a stream of human beings who are
weary Of incessant combat with conditions that
viii not suffer amendment and that NAV not
yet be destroyed. Many Of a,ese new
comers are welcomed by reiativeSor friends
who made the voyage years ago, and these in
variably guide the strangers to residence In the
neighborhoods where their own homes were
founded. but thousands Of the land-huugrv
start from Ellis Island without prejudice as to
locality. These latter, whether possessed of
moderate means or proprietors of moth
ing more than intelligent muscle. are the
folks needed in the agricultural region of
which Washington is the Consuming center
and which is described at some length
in the First Annual Report of the Bureau Of
Industrial Statistics Of Maryland, just issued by
Mr.. A. b Howard, r., chief of the bureau
From this document it NAV be seen that both
classes of immigrants would find a suitable
field either in Montgomery or Prince George
counties. In the former farming lands can be
purchased at prices that range all the way from
fifteen dollars to one hundred dollars per acre.
while in the latter some of the neglected
plantations might be acquired at as low an acre

quently are regardless Of their own. 1.-The intro
duction Of white labor" he goes on, "would
have beneficial effect from every standpoint,
though an industrious class Of laborers of any
kind would be gladly received, as would settlers
having small capital The latter would find q
good soil, hospitable neighbors, and close prox-
unity to the excellent market Of Washington
CITY," The advantages Of Prince Georges
county are also set forth. More than one-half
Of the total area Of cultivable land remains
untitled because Of the scarcity of competent
labor. OF tho labor available nine-tenths is
colored-"indisposed to work, and even when
willing wholly inefficient" Agricultural ability
should seek such country, for holders Of large
tracts are eager to subdivfde. The big farms
are Improbable simply because the laboring
force in the country is insufficient and lacking
in energy, but an infusion Of new blood
would revolutionize farming and make
Prince Georges one Of the richest sec
tons Of q great state. Such growth
has to come. The expansion of Washington
will mean greater market for earth products
and to supply this all the adjacent soil must be
worked thoroughly. In the not distant future

When the Presbyterian General Assembly

problems awaiting action. At least one OF these
affecting the faith and doctrine of
the church and alleged offences against
them-is OF extraordinary importance to
the church organization, for out of 1t
may come internal war and possible disruption
1t is sincerely hoped that the debates may have
in them more Of the oleaginous than the acrid,
and that as result of the conclusions ultimately
arrived at there may be nothing to threaten the
integrity and strength of one of the most useful
existing agencies in the work of moral and
spiritual elevation.

Representing more than million Of those

Representing more than q million Of those
who adhere to the Presby terian faith and
anxious to advance the interests Of that pow
erful fraction Of America religious population,
the one hundred and fifth General Assembly Of
the Presbyterian Church IN the United States
met in this city today and proceeded to the
transaction Of business. 1t is a thoroughly rep
resentative body, and as its members are
chosen by the presbyteries, which have their
origin in the congregations, the con-
illusions reached by the General Assembly on
important questions can hardly fail to
satisfy the great UNCONVENTIONAL bulk.
One Of the secrets of Presbyterian CO.
hesiveness ia the republican form Of
government which prevails throughout the
entire organization; the rights Of the humblest
member are carefully conserved and each in
dividual has q voice IN church affairs. A clever
combination Of these liberties and Of an I'M
swerying Calvinistic theology has given the
world q church that in all places. but especially
in this land Of free institutions, is most potent
influence for good Its large membership is by
no means the most striking Of its character
istics. Christian activity and constitutional
munifcence have attracted worldwide atten-
ton. During 1892 the records show that more
than fourteen millions of dollars were SUBJ
scribed for religion and charity, and in one di-
rection alone-that Of home missions-the ex-
penditure for the year aggregated about
one million. In every state in the Union
save one mississippi is the lone exception)
there are Presbyterian Churches. and wherever
one Of these edifces is found refining infu-
ences are at work and citizenship moves on the
upward grade. Blessed with wakeful. learned
and generally eloquent ministry and number
ing among the most devoted Of its member
ship leaders in the literary, business, political
and social world, Presbyterianism seems des-
tined to accomplish much toward the advance
ment Of all that is best in our national life and
to act, by its conservatism, a needed balance
wheel. Supreme within the terrestrial church,
and possessing the confidence and respect
Of all rational people, is the gathering
which temporarily calls Washington its
home. TIE STAR welcomes it and con-
graduates 1t upon having 50 pleasant
q city in which to work and play. Much has
been done for the comfort of those who are here
to legislats on churchly matters; vigorous COM
mittees have toiled necessarily to prepare en-
tertainment and will continue to labor until the
last commissioner has departed, but if the Wis
itors see anything they would like to have, even
II it is not on the bill Of fare, they will only
need to ask for it and 1t 10 theirs. Washington
and the General Assembly are both to be con-
graduated; the ono because 1t was chosen as
the meeting place OF such q splendid repre-
sentation, the other because it is privileged to
dwell. If only for . little while, in the most
beautiful Of cities.
