its good offices to either of the combat
ants in the interest of a cessation of
hostilities.
LAS alluSion has been made to The
Hague Convention and as action has been
suggested based upon that instrument.
1t may be as we'll to quote phrase from
article Ill which states:
Powers stranger to the dispute NAV
have the right to offer good offices or
mediation even during the course of hos
Titles, and article V. which says:
The functions of the mediator are
at an end when once it is declared. either
by one Of the parties to the dispute or
by the mediator himself, that the means
reconciliation proposed by him are not
cepted.'
The President in his earnest desire to
see an end to the strife may already be
said to have gone to the extreme limit
permitted to him. Ii he had chosen not
to present to England the South Afrl-
can request for good offices, he might
have justified his action by referring to
the following declaration which was made
in the very act of signing the Hague
convention by the plenipotentiaries of the
United States:
vention shall be so construed as to
require the United States Of America
to depart from it's traditional policy OF
not intruding upon. interfering with, or
entangling itself with questions of policy
or internal administration of any foreign
States; nor shall anything contained in
the said convention be construed to imply
a REIMBURSEMENT by the United States of
America of its traditional attitude to
toward purely American questions"
THE President sympathizes heartily
in the sincere desire of all the people
OF the United States, that the war many
come to a speedy close; but he
feels that, in the present circumstances,
no course is open to him except to per-
sist in the policy of impartial neutrality
To deviate from this would be contrary
to all our traditions and all our national
interests and would lead to cons eGuence
which neither the President nor the peo-
pie of the United States could regard
with favor"
The Boer representatives will be re-
ceived by the President at the White
House tomorrow morning

Manila, May 21.-General James NJ.

der to his officers not to attempt to or
ganize the municipal governments as
prescribed by Major General Otis in his
recent order, on account of the disturbed
conditions. The Americans occupy few
coast towns. which the insurgents sur
round, constantly assailing the garrisons,
which are too small to attempt opera
tions in Tho surrounding country.
Major Wise with two companies, is in
Donsol an important town of Sorsogon,
surrounded by a thousand insurgents.
The Americans occupy trenches and are
continually exchanging shots with the
enemy. Several regiments are needed to
control each Southern province, but they
cannot be spared from their present sta
tions. Another squadron of cavalry will
be sent to General Bell.

Moros in the southern part of Mindanao,
at Cottabatto, Major Brett sent a de-
tachment TO preserve peace at a confer
ence between two quarreling chiefs. Dur

several of the natives. but they were un-

Discussion in the Assembly.

again raised. Two overtures We're offer
ed: enc from NJ. c. Taylor, of Hico,
Texas, regarding divorce and another from
Robert Osborne, of Petersburg, Va, ask
ing change in the book of church
The discussion as to whether these
overtures should be received became gem
eral, there being great diversity of opin-
ion among the commissioners whether in
divduals should file petitions to the higher
court before the lower court had been APP
pealed to. The law of the church on
overturing was read, but this was differ
emily construed by the commissioners,
who made arguments for and against
the reception of the overtures. 1t was
stated that other overtures had been re-
ceived from individuals during the pres
ent session and a motion from Elder j.
L. Dean, that the overtures be received
was adopted.
The semi-annual report of the Louisville
Theological Seminary was read, showing
that institution to be in prosperous
condition.
An overture which may later in the
session precipitate a discussion on the
confession of faith of the church was pre-
scented from the Brazos, Texas, Presby-
terry 1t asked that the Assembly hand
down to the presbyteries for their vote
an amendment to the confession of faith
as follows:
