NIOBLBN On TRIAL
Question Which Agitates Eng

BEFORE THE ARCHBISHOPS
Decision Not Enforceable But
viii Have Moral Weight.

London, May San important stage in
the r1tualistic controversy opened today
when the Rt Hon. and Mos. Rev. Fred
erick Temple, archbishop of Canterbury
and primate of all England; the Rt. Hon.
and Most Rev William DalrympIe Mac
Lagan archbishop Of York, sitting as a
self-constituted tribunal, began a hearing
of the charges against the Rev. Henry
WestaH, vicar of ST. Cuthberts, Phil
beach Gardens. of ceremonial use of in
cense and lights, and the Rev. Edward
Ram, vicar Of the Church of ST. John,
Timberhill, Norwich, on the charge Of
ceremonial use of incense Messrs. West
all and Ram will have the assistance in
the ecclesiastical trial of a number of ex-
perts on the question of the ritual, includ-
ing the Rev. r. r. PercivaI, rector Of the
Church Of the EvangeIists, in Philadel-
phia The decision Of the arch5ishops viii
not be binding, except as to the conscience,
upon any one, nor viii it be enforceable,
but naturally it will have immense moral
weight. The chief purpose of this arch
episcopal inquiry is to avoid reference to
the secular courts. a large assemblage of
bishops and well known clergymen were
present in the historic guard room of Lam
beth Palace when the Archbishop of Can
terbury opened the proceedings with an
explanation of the nature of the hearing.

ANGLO RUSSIAN AGREEMENT
Document Made Public for all the
World to Read.

London, May Ga parliamentary paper
has been issued containing the identical
notes exchanged between Great Britain
and Russia relative to the spheres of in
fuence in China. The preamble de-
clares that Great Britain and Russia,
animated by a sincere desire to avoid in
China all cause of conflict on the ques-
ton where interests meet, and, taking
into consideration economic and geograph-
zeal gravftation to certain parts of the
empire have agreed as follows:
Clause 1-Great Britain engages not to
seek, either for herself or in behalf of
others, railway concessions north of the
great wall, and not to obstruct Russian
application for concessions in that re-
gion.
In clause Russia makes similar
agreement towards Great Britain relative
to- the basin of the Yangtse.
Clause says that the contracting par
ties, having in no wise in view TO in
fringe in any way the sovereign rights of
China or existing treaties, will not fail
to communicate to the Chinese govern
ment the present arrangement, which, by
averting all cause of complications, is of
nature to consolidate peace in the far
east, and serve the primordial interests
Of China herself.
A second note, forming an addendum to
the first, commences: 'In order to COM
plete the notes exchanged respecting par
Triton Of spheres for concessions for rail-
ways in China" and then proceeds to
record an agreement regarding the Shans
! Hal, Kuan and New Chwang railway,
| protecting rights acquired under the loan
contract and providing that the railway
must remain a Chinese line subject to
| the central government and cannot be
| mortgaged or alienated to a non-Chinese

was the work of a demon within a man.

General Lacret is quoted as saying that,
while he has no doubt Of the honorable
intentions of the United States toward
the Cubans, troubles and misunderstand-
ings arise through the ignorance of &C.
partments as to the conditions in Cuba.
The general IS also reported to have said
that he could not see how the lower
classes would be able to live during the
year. The crops are now harvested, busi-
ness is duh and industries at a standSta..
The capital of the islanders is boarded,
while foreign capital is timid. The gen
eral said he was confident that starving
Cubans would soon be obliged to steal in
order to keep body and soul together, and
that were they to stea! his property he
could not blame them. AS for the So
100000 sent from the United States for the
payment of Cuban soldiers, that money
would soon be spent in saloons and would
give no substantial help.
