THE GENEVA AWARD.
Mr.. Curzon's "UnclaiIned Millions"
Have No Existence.

Mr.. Cursor. parliamentary secretary for
the foreign office, and Thomas Gibson
Bowles. NJ. P, gravely discussed in the
alleged SIS, 600, 600 OF the Geneva award
for the Alabama claims, which they suppose
is lying unclaimed in the United States
Treasury. AS q matter of fact all there
is left in the Treasury standing to the
credit of the Alabama fund is ST. SO, and
that is hardly la rye enough sum to discuss
in the Commons or anywhere else.
The total amount awarded 10 the United
States by the tribunal at Geneva was
S15.50O, 600 in gold.
After the United States had paid all
damages proved against the incriminated
cruisers. there was left in the Treasury
q balance, which in few years. with
the interest derived from the United
States bonds, in which 1t was invested,
amounted to about IS 100000 In the
meantime, however, the Halifax tribunal,
provided for by the same treaty, had
met TO assess damages against the United
States for infringement of Canadian fish
ing rights. and by way OF offsetting the
excessive damages awarded against Great
Britain at Geneva, mulcted the United
States in So 100000 for fishing privileges
not worth one-fifth of that sum. Both
countries seemed to regard this as a
stand Off, and the United States, after
paying the Halifax award, proceeded to
distribute what it had left of the Alabama
fund. All vessels belonging to loyal Ameri-
cans which had suffered from Confederate
cruisers on the high seas were permitted
TO come in and prove damages.
What was left after their claims were
settled was distributed on ratio OF 33
cents to the dollar among those Ameri-
can shipowners who had paid what were
called war premiums or enhanced rates
of insurance caused by the depredations
of the Alabama and kindred vessels.

A SUNDAY WITH ARTISTS
Four Thousand People Visit the
Corcoran Art Gallery.
The upper Ten" Were Absent, But
"Commoners" Spent a Delight
full Day With the Pictures.

Four thousand people visited the new
Corcoran Art Gallery yesterday afternoon
between the hours Of l and A. 1t was the
first time that the collection had been
thrown open to the public on a Sabbath
day.
The so-called upper ten' were con-
spicuous by their absence Yesterday after
noon. The four thousand came chiefly from
the working classes. They were people
who have to work on weekdays. and who,
with love of the beautiful within them,
have been unable to feast their eyes upon
the works of the masters collected at the
Corcoran Art Gallery because it was not
open on the only day they were free
They were an intelligent looking and or
derly four thousand 1t would be difficult
to find an assembIage of better looking
their Sunday frocks, and all except a few
restless boys observed strictly the in
junction to keep hands off of the paintings
and statuary.
There were some babies in arms there,
and while it is against the rules to admit
them, Curator RaTbarin did not have the
heart to bar them out So the babies went
in and looked with great wondering eyes
at the infinite variety and richness OF
color hanging about the walls. Some
cooed and laughed and clapped their hands,
and one pensive, grayeyed little thing
after looking at Charlotte Corday gazing
through her prison bars, turned to her
mother and said; why is she so sad,
mama; let me III SIS her and make her 'mile?''
The only persons to whom the doors
of the gallery were barred were some mis-
chieyous youngsters, who wanted to see
what was going on. They We're told to
go home and bring their pdrents back
with them.
1t was great day for the four thou
sand. Some, Of course, were attracted by
curiosity, but more by love OF art itself
They feasted their eyes upon the things
of beauty all around them, and their
eyes bcamed brighter and their hearts
were filled with higher inspiration because
OF the hours spent with the works OF
master hands. For these the hour OF
closing came too soon, and they took with
reluctant steps their parting ways.
The gallery will hereafter be open. to
visitors every Sunday between the hours
stated.

FOES OF STRONG DRINK.
Rousing Mass Meeting Under Au-
spices of Ant{-SaIoeu League

The foes OF strong drink held rous-
ing rail- y last evening in Assembly Presby
terlan Church. IL was one or the series
of mass meetings being held under the
auspices OF the local Anti Saloon League
and there was large attendance.
The meeting, which was opened with
prayer by the pastor of the church. the
Rev. George o. Little, was presided
over by Col. John +. Vinal who spoke OF
the objects and work OF the league. Col
Yinal then introduced the Rev. DR.. Little
who extended a cordial welcome 10 the
representatives OF the Anti-Saloon League.
Dr. Little briefly told the part AS
sernhly Church had taken in the fight
against saloons. II had effected the clos
ing of two in the neighborhood, but, as
all knew, he said, a change III the law
had undone their good work.
The Rev H n Couden chaplain Of the
House OF Representatives,, was the first
speaker He hadnever lost an opportunity
TO do something for the cause OF temper
ance when he could, but there We're several
things in connection with the last national
converts on of the Anti-sa loon League
which he did not indorse. He did not think
it good policy to heap venom upon the
saloon-k eeperS, nor Oil lie believe IN
having the cause agitdted by professional
takers, who take up most of the time
in trying to be fucctious.
Mr.. Couden adviSed more missionary
work to be done, especially in those
churches where you can get in only by
card or where you have TO pay" He also
spoke of the good temperance work being
done by the Salvation Army.
Hon. Jonathan s, Willis, Congressman
from Delaware, said he saw no reason
why the temperance people should be dis
couraged. When compared with other
movements, he said. they were making
rapid progress.
The Young ladies' OF the Assembly Church
choir. under the direction of Prof. White,

Science and Religion

Real Science and Real Religion" was
the subject OF most interesting dis
course, delivered yesterday by Rev. Asa
s. Fisk, at Gunton Temple Church. Sci
ence and religion. he said, never have
been in conflict. They do not occupy
common ground; can no more come into
collision than can two trains running in
the sanIe direction on parallel tracks. The
substance OF religion, the mother OF SCI
enoe, lies in different fields, are OF so
different notions, their tools are SO un-
Ike, their method so variant and the
requisite habits OF mind so different that
the adept in the one is rarely an expert
in the other.
