pean Press On Peace Proposal.

London, Aug. 29.-Dr. Emil Reich, the
eminent Hungarian historian and Brit
ish consul in the Venezuelan contro-
versy, in an interview on the subject
of the cars peace note, expresses the
belief thai the car is visionary. He
says:
The car is dreamer. He is not in
robust health, and has always to take
great care of his body. This scheme
for universal peace is one of his
dreams. 1t is also a feint. Count
Muravieff hopes thereby to get free
hand in the development Of the Rus
sion scheme in Manchuria.
Suppose France disarmed. Her pop
ulation is now 40,000,000 against Ger
many's $1,000, 900. In ten years Ger
many would have largely added to her
lead in population and France could
not display an army nearly as large as
her rivals. Sweden and Norway and
Italy would like to disarm, and might
do so with impunity, but for the rest
of Europe it is impossible. Europe
must fight, lest the present politica!:.
conditions undergo an early change.
IT Is IMPRACTICABLE.
Paris, Aug. 29.-The French news
papers generally distrust the practical
clearly indicate that France would
make the restoration of Alsace-Lor-
raine a prerequisite to her participation
in the conference.
The Patrie expresses the opinion that
Great Britain will never renounce her
maritime supremacy.
GERMAN SENTIMENT.
Berlin. Aug. 29.-The National lei
tung says: THE car and his ministers
have not deluded themselves with the
idea that they can rid the world of the
causes which for years have been re-
Sponsible for the growing ornaments.
When great power, however, adj
dresses such proposals to others, they
will be recognized everywhere as de-
serving of the most serious considera-
ton
According to the Hamburger Core
spondenz, the note will remain forever
an imperishable monument to the fame
of Emperor Nicholas.
SALVATIONISTS REJOICE.
London, Aug. 29.-General William
Booth of the Salvation Army sent the
following telegram to Emperor Mich
olas this afternoon:
May it please your majesty, L have
received with profound thankfulness to
God the news of your imperial majeS-
tvs wise, beneficent and ChriStianlike
proposal in favor of universal peace. L
cannot refrain from assuring you of
the admiration of the multitudeS of
Salvationists in all parts of the world,
whose prayers will ascend to Almighty
God for your majesty and for the tri-
umph of those principles of peace and
righteousness, after which they are
ever striving and which are moving you
to see the true welfare of all nations.
This great act of Gods will forever
add to the honor of your majesty's
name, reign and country
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE JUBILANT.
London, Aug 29.-The papers are
filed with discussions, comments and
opinions as to the circular of Emperor
Nicholas. The most Notwithstanding
event could have hardly produced such
a coup as this suggestion, the fruition
of which is regarded on all sides as an
absolute impoSsibility.
This being holiday season, it is diff
cult to obtain the opinions of public
men on the subject. The religious
world, however, loudly welcomes and
praises the cars noble initiative.
Numerous bishops have already ex-
pressed their views in that sense.
No excitement is noticeable at the
foreign office. 1t is understood that a
tersburg recently with a full eXplana-
ton of the cars proposal.
Naturally, all persons and societies |
connected with peace and arbitration
movements are jubilant. The pope has !
wired his congratulations to Emperor
Nicholas, and Immediately offered !
every assistance in his power to pro-
mote the proposed conference.
MILK IN THE COCOANUT.
London, Aug. SO.-The Times, in its !
financial article this morning, says:
The cars circular has had a good eff
feet on the markets, as indicating that
there is no immediate probability of
war. Many people remark the fact that |
the proposal appears when Russia's !
power to borrow freely is almost ended |
and when she has placed herself in
positions in China and elsewhere which |
can be defended only at great cost.
