The German war lord appears to have
withdrawn his opposition to the estab-
lishment of court of arbitration, and
there Is now fair prospect that that
scheme Twill eventuate IN somethir 9
tangible. He insists. however. that ap-
peal TO the tribunal must be entirely
voluntary, each nation deciding for it,
self what questions are proper 10 arbi-
trate. II the principle of arbitration Is
recognized even 20 this extent by The
Hague conference, great deal win have
been gained. The existence of an arbitra-
tion tribunal to which nations can APP
peal will of itself have . tendency TO
strengthen public sentiment in favor of
this method of settling international dis
putes, and sooner or later public senti-
ment Is sure to roach even monarcbs who
claim to rule by divine right like the
German war lord.

1As Plat Republicans of New York

1es Platt Republicans OF New York
city and the Independent Republicans
are showing signs of having an attack
OF common ssnse-both of them. Instead
OF dividing their forces and allowing
Iammany to ship in between them as
they did at the last election, they are
taking measures for union. To their
nsiit be it said the Platt Republicans
have made distinct advances looking to
this end TO the Independents. Now If
she latter are willing to concede some
thing. harmony may be brought about.
and with harmony there will be a fair
chance in the fall of clipping the wings

Dear SRI see By your PRESS that
there seems to bs much anxiety concern

Alliance, and the uso OF the money CON-
trihuted by their friends to their work;
The statement that they make no report
of what is done with their monsy, etc. 3
Corporations usually make reports to
their stockholders, and not always tosthe
public, and it Is evident that much that
is said is forEthe lack of Letter inform alton
concerning their work by those who are
not stockholders In their Christian enter
prise. The writer who has been n stock
holder and investor in the Christian Mis-
sionary Alliance for several years, holds
in his hand at the present time their last
annual report, closing the year of April

cash re ceived. but the cash paid out from
les several departments, and the report

port of the work of the society, and the

selves the responsibility Of supporting
one or more missionaries through that
organization In some foreign field, and
have the privilege of from time to time
receiving direct communication from
their representative in the foreign field,
who can report as to whether they receive
their salaries or not, wheher they are left
to be hungry, destitute and forsaken as
insinuated, or whether they are properly
cared for by the association, and they
will also no doubt receive as the sub
scriber does a report of their work an
