General Warren was unmanageable in

good work. but there Will be no dissent
from his own manly confession that he

10y MEAN CHURCH WAR.
Probable Outcome Of Won BueIow's
appointment.

New York. oct, Cot Is stated in
high church circles in Washington. says
a dispatch to the World. that the ap-
pointment of Count Won Buelow to be
minister of foreign affairs OF Germany
promises to revive controversies between
the Vatican and the German emperor.
In 1897, at a time when the German
emperor sought to assume the protector
ate Of Christianity in the Holy Land
and at most critical period Of negotia-
lions with the Vatican Count Won Bue-
low was accredited as the imperial Ger
man ambassador to Pope Leo XIII. This
was a departure from the usages of the
German emperors and the step was her
aided as an evidence of complete recon
Citation between the Vatican and Ber-
lin. The count did not hold the position
more than a month Almost coincident
with his reception at the Vatican the
notice of his promotion to the ministry
OF the imperial foreign office was pub
lished.
Two stories explanatory of this are
told. One is that Italy objected to a
member Of the triple alliance taking so
open an interest in the sovereignty, spir-
itual or temporal, of the pope as to APP
point an ambassador to him The other
story is that Count Won Buelow was In
discreet in permitting his emperor to be-
lieve that the pope acQuiesced in the
German protectorate of the Holy Land
Pope Leo XIII, afterward addressed
an encyclical TO the French bishops, in
which he attributed the rumors that
Emperor William had been acknowledge
ed as the protector of the Christians in
the east to indiscreet and unfounded
diplomatic gossip.
The Catholic hierarchy throughout the
world will now watch with considerable
interest the development of Won Bue-
lows attitude toward Pope Leo.

Arbitration as g Means of Settling
Chinese Question.


New York. Oct 2O-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Arbi-
traxiOn of the entire Chinese question
has not yet been given serious consider
alton by officials and diplomats here,
but its advantages are so manifest that
some Of the powers would welcome a
solution effected by this peaceful means
One important reason why it's adoption
has not been urged is that Germany
would probably not consent to allow the
arbitration Of claims she Will present
growing out OF the murder of Baron
Won ketteler, her minister to China
taking the ground that her national
honor IS involved. and this can not be
a subject of arbitration
As officials think of the matter. thew
can see another reason against arbitra-
ton, and that Is that as all the great
powers are involved IN the Chinese
troubles. it would be impossible to OBJ
tain arbitratorS free from prejudice It
is further pointed out that the peace
negotiators who are to sit in Pelzin can
do as effective work in the way Of bring
ing about peace as would a board
formed OF the representatives Of the
powers at any other place
Notwithstanding the failure or the i'm
perial court to return to Pekin. there is
reason to believe that pressure is still
being exerted upon the emperor and en-
press dowager to induce them to go to
