tions, one from the great majority of
the organized Protestant Christian
churches Of the world and the other
from the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance.
This petition has been placed in charge
of the Rev. William Henry Roberts. the
American secretary of the Pan-Presby-
terian alliance, and with him was the
Rev. Wallace Radcliffe. Revs. A. w.
Pitzer of Washington. W. w Barr of
Philadelphia and J. Il. Dorm of Tren-
ton. ". J. The first petition was signed
by the representatives OF the 1i5 ma
tional and denomination churches exist
ing on all the six continents. viz, the
Church OF England. the Church OF Scot
land. 30 other churches in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. .he general of the SAL
walton army. two churches in Belgium.
two in Switzerland. six in Holland. IL

and 81 in other parts of the world. The
Baptists, Congregationalisss. Lutherans.
Methodists. Presbyterians and Episco-
palians united i'm their approval of the
petition.
1t asks for the reductl ion of the heavy
armaments maintained by Christian
nations. ready upon provocatlon to go
to war and settle their disputes by
bloodshed," and also requests the in
international arbitration as a substitute
for war.
The second petition Is from the Pam
Presbyterian alliance, which also unites
in the petition and which includes 80 ma
tional and UNCONVENTIONAL churches
throughout the world. This second pc
tition asks for permanent and peace
ful method for the settlement of all con-
troversies arising between the people
of the British empire and the republic
of the United States" The delegations.
in presenting the petitions, emphasized
the fact that both originated in the
United States. the first for universal
disarmament i'm the year 1890 at the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church, South. The delegation also
states that they were not TO be regard
ed as the advocates OF policy of peace
at any price" or with maintaining that
all war is sinful. They quoted the West
minister Confession 10 the effect that
council magistrates may rightfully
now, under the New Testament, wage
war upon just and necessary occasions.
The president was congratulated upon
the result Of the rightful war recently
waged by the American people i'm the
cause of Justice and humanity and the
divine blessing was invoked upon him
as the man ordained of God i'm a great
crisis in human history to be the leader
Of this people. and also to be instru-
mental, through both war and peace.

complaints either from the proprietors
or the laborers. Stress Is laid upon the
loss to the debtor who has borrowed
on a fictitious value and must pay the
premium and the unfortunate Cuban
planter Is especially singled out for
sympathy. That the planter Will suffer
cannot be denied. but the advent OF the
United States into Cuba will tighten so
many OF his burdens that his condition
Is not without hope. All the customs
duties on his imported food supplies
have been reduced and many important
commodities put upon the free list. His
sugar machinery has been reduced to
10 per cent ad valorem. his locomotives
and railroad supplies to 20 per cent and
all along the line the taxes have been
cut down. II is not probable that his
land taxes will be collected during the
present fiscal year, while the return OF
peace. establishment of law and order
and protection of property will i'm
measurably improve his lot. III there
fore the sugar planter OF Cuba will
gauge the present outlook by a glance
backward and compare IL with his con-
dition last year at this time. he may
