The committee appointed TO arrange the puhl,.

In the vestry Of the Fifth Avenue Presbyter,.n
Church It is anticipated that Bolton Hall ana
William Irwin. the relatives OF DR.. Hall in tn,
city will be present TO confer with the committs.
Just what particular form the memorial Services
will take cannot be forecasted at present. as the
members of the committee have not yet even
informally considered the matter nor will they
proceed 10 formulate any plans this morning un,l
they have ascertained rhe wishes of DR.. Hara
relatives. There Is desire among many OF the
congregation, however. that the body should BE-
allowed TO lie In state In the church for at leas,
one day in order that the people 10 whom bs
ministered for upward Of thirty years may have
the opportunity of seeing once more the features
of the pastor whom they so much revered and
loved. The committee appointed to undertake the
work of completing the preliminary details has H.

there Is little doubt that DR. Purves will be asked

members of the community said yesterday, The
Tribune precisely explained yesterday the situation

STREET RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

II is quite within the truth to say thar no

touches the interests and affects the daily life
Of millions Of people, and every year it is be
coming more and more factor in the industrial

country may be said 10 hold the leadership In
street railway extension and development. the
changes that street railways are cffecting In the
older civilization Of the Eastern Hemisphere
are even more striking In the cities Of Japan

ing lessons OF democracy and progress to that
new-bor nation. Street railways are soon des-
tined to revolutioniZe the indurated traditions Of
the land Of the Pharaohs and ere long the Pyr-
amids will re-echo the strdent gong Of the troll
ley-car, built perhaps in Manchester or in New
York while the inscrutable Sphinx will smile
on the scene Just rs 1t did In the days when the
world was young. Trolley-cars scud swiftly
through the hoary ruins Of old Rome. and the
ancient Forum is now streetcar junction. A

RUSSIAN RELATIONS.

Count CaSsini'S assurances Of RusSia's friend
ship for this country or, to be more accurate,
her friendly relations with this country, are
none the less welcome because they are in a
sense supcrhuous. We have n keen and CRATE
ful recollection of the existence and of the
active potency Of such relations in the past,
and we have seen convincing reason for
surprising that there has been any change In
them or abatement Of them. Nevertheless ii is
agreeable to have their permanence vouched for
by so good an authority as this accomplished
Ambassador Of the Gar. Indeed, there Is a
peculiar significance in his statement for, as
Russian Minister to China, he has been closely
identified with those very phases and develop
ments of Russian policy which are Of most i'm
mediate interest TO the United States. 1t does
not matter TO us what Russia does In Tromso
and Norrland, In the Balkans and Asia Minor
In Persia and Afghanistan, on the bstering
shores Of the Red Sea or on the inhospitablc
slopes of the Roof of the World. 1t does greatly
matter what Russia does In China and on the
Pacific coast of Asia.
An important but commonly ignored feature
Of RussoAmerican relations Is recalled by
Count Cassini when he says that Russian and
American interests nowhere conflict Without
ungraciousness we may say that that has been
the dominant factor of the whole problem.
Friendly relations between the two nations
have existed, not because OF identity OF interests
or aims. or even because Of any especial SYM
patty. but because Of. absence Of causes OF
controversy and Of friction. or different races.
languages and religions. and In forms of gov
eminent and institutions and national genius
