the general interests Of the world II Is
moderate because Il is strong, II Is won
over In advance To settlements which
are inspired by justice and humanity.
The good which II has done Is pledge
that It will do stlll more"
10 which the car replied.
1--WE shall continue both far and near
to associate ourselves with all that con-
Germs friendly France The intimate
union OF the two great powers, animat-
ed by the most pacific intentions, and
which. while able TO make their rights
respected do not seek TO lnjure In any
way the rights OF others, Is precious
element Of appeasement for the whole
OF humanity"
There is a note Of peace In both Of
these utterances, but It's harmony Is
broken by the assurance that the al
lance--which is now admitted by both
parties--is won over In advance 10
settlements which are inspired by jus
tice and humanity" and that It's voice
viii be heard both far and near" To
the cabinets OF Europe these words
must have peculiar significance. They
must convey meaning, II not threat,
coming, as they did, at the close Of a
great military review. and they may
not appropriately be construed as re-
ferring to plans in which the ever
present eastern question is involved.
Stockholm newspapers take this view.
They assert that the visit TO France
was arranged suddenly, because Rus
STA desires it's republican ally TO pull
some chestnuts out Of the fire for It.
France. they believe, has delayed ac-
ton against Turkey until It could ar
rive at full understanding with Rus
sla as TO The disposition Of Constan-
tinople The time for action, II Is
pointed out, Is now ripe. For Great
Britain has troubles OF her own in
South Africa, and would not be pre-
pared TO interfere until her army were
completely reorganized. Italy is wa
vering in her fidelity to the Triple al
lance, and could easily be kept nep-
trail by concessions In Tunis, Then Ger
manv would not be in a position to
back up the Sultan, and Russia and
France would have free hands. II Is
further pointed out that a blow at
Turkey now would cut short German
aspirations for expansion along the
Persian gulf, and that this would be
an immense advantage to Russia.
Such is, In brief, an outline of the
present political situation. 1t looks
warlike. and II appears that the fears
Of the Sultan are not without founda-
ton. still, war between civilized ma
tons is an exceedingly expensive sport
and Russia and France may well hest
tate before provoking storm they
may not be able to control, when first
let loose In all its fury.

LABOR LAWS.

The testimony concerning the benefits
of the labor laws OF New Zealand Is
slngularly contradictory. A CORES
pendent OF the Boston Herald Is Of the
opinion that Industrial conditions are
by no means bettered by legislation
concerning hours of labor, arbitration,
rates Of pay, taxes imposed for old age
pensions, and the like. Manufacture
ing establishments, he says,cannot sup
port themselves for the reason that the
cost OF production under these various
conditions Is much greater than In other
and competing countries. The trade
which New Zealand formerly had with
various islands OF the South Pacific
has been to quite an extent lost, be-
cause the producers In other countries
could supply the needs of the pur-
ohasers at much more favorable prices
than those which could be proftably
named by merchants OF New Zealand.
Large quantities Of American manu-
featured goods are now sent to the
colony, and to some extent take the
place OF commodities that were for
merly made by the colonists them
selves.
on the other hand Michael Dayitt,
speaking specially OF the compulsory
arbitration law. says;
THE operation OF the law so far has
not been Injurious to capitalisticdnter-
ests, nor have Trades unionlsts found
II detrimental TO their rights OF COM
bination In the working OF such a law.
The state has secured almost Indus
trial peace. and public opinion, II not
absolutely unanimous in its approval
of the law. finds satisfaction In the
cessation OF active warfare between
Capital and Labor"
He asserts that in almost every In
stance where this law has been put
In operation, It has resulted IN general
satisfaction and approval by the public,
and his testimony IL Of value, because
he has spent many years in New Zea-
land and is familiar with the condi-
tons of the country.
To one not personally acquainted
with the operations OF the New zea-
land labor laws, It is not easy to find
the exact truth in the conflicting sto-
ries, but It Is quite certain that the
constant strife between capital and Ia
Dor is source Of loss to the industry
Of o country, compared to which any
loss caused by restricted hours OF la
Dor. old age pensions, etc, is trifiing.
The millions that are lost by wage
earners and employers by one great
strike, would pay the cost Of a mod
crate war, and TO this must be added
the loss sustained by the general pub
lie through interference with all lines
Of business When a comtrys indus
try is strong enough to carry the bur
den OF strikes, Il cannot be too weak
TO stand the expenses OF a friendly
settlement OF difficulties.

ON THE AUTOPSY.

The New York Medical Record, In re-
viewing edltorially the revelations OF
the autopsy on the body Of the late
President expresses the opinion that
all was done for the distinguished pa
tent, that was possible, and that the
case was a fatal one from the start
The operation, It says. was timely, pro-
per and, so far as Il went brilliant.
The skill OF the operator Is beyond
question.
But with all these admissions the
Record points out that the good con
dltion Of the wound behind the stom-
ach. OF which all the surgeons were
so pronouncedly confident was an T.
fusion and snare" This suggests
the question why all the gentlemen on
the case were so satisfied with the real
nature Of wound that they obviously,
knew nothing about"
That very question Is one which pre-
sented itself to the lay reader when
following the daily bulletins, which all
at once changed from a tone Of hope
fulness and confidence TO one OF des-
pair, without any cause as far as the
public was aware But a fuller and
more detailed report by the attending
physicians is expected In the near flu
ture. and judgment can be suspended.
until that report shall have been made.
But after oil explanations, the most
philosophical one will be that Of the
departed President himself; ut Is
Gods way" That covers even the
possible errors Of diagnosis that the
autopsy seems TO have revealed.

fish cousins are getting some comfort
out OF the adversely that has recently
oyertaken them in South Africa. Lon
don adylces say that the details Of the
recent reyerses are reassuring In one
respect. This reinsurance consists In
the fact that the evidence points to err
rors of judgment on the part Of the OH

WATER FOR JERUSALEM,

Among the latest and most needed
Improvements in the Holy Land Is
supply Of good water for the city Of
Jerusalem. This, II II said, that city is
now about to obtain. The governor of
the division of country In which Jer-
usalem is the chief city has finally
sanctioned the purchase Of iron pipe by
which water is to be brought into the
city from the scaled fountain" at Sol
omon's Pools, distance Of about nine
miles. II is calculated that a sIx-inch
pipe win bring 5000 skins" Of water
daily, for distribution at fountains" in
various places.
The spring from which this water
supply is TO come Is described as a
deep-down subtel1anean spring. which
has, from the time OF Solomon, flowed
through the arched tunnel built by hlia
10 the distributing chamber or reser-
yolr near the northwest corner OF the
highest OF Solomon's Pools. Half
century ago the location Of this hid
den" spring, which was still, as in Sol
omon's time, flowing into the reservoir
mentioned was unknown. The tunnel
is rooted by stones leaning against
each other like an inverted V, the prim-
tive form OF an arch. which Is also
seen In the roof Of the Queens Cham
Der of the Great Pyramid. The en-
trance TO this tunnel from the spring is
one OF the oldest structures In exls-
tence. The spring IL supposed TO be al
luded to in the Song Of Songs when
the author of that poem says my
Beloved is like a spring shut up, a
fountain sealed"
Several years ago wealthy tourists
who perceived that one Of the greatest
needs of Jerusalem was a good water
supply. offered the Turkish authorities
to lay pipes from the famous pools free
OF charge. II the governor would guar
antee the repair, so that the expendi-
ture would not be In vain. But this
Kind offer was refused The people are

PEsRy's EXPLORATIONS.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Peary started in April of this year for
the north by way of Cape Hecla, but
after some ten days march over the
ice he found both men and dogs UNI
fitted for the more arduous task ahead
Of them and the expedition returned TO
headquarters at Fort Conger TO pre-
pare a better equipped force. In a
brief letter TO Secretary Bridgman, of
the Arctic club, Peary expresses salts
faction with the work already accom-
plished, one OF the scientific returns
being the determination Of the origin
Of the so-called paleocrystic ice. sub
ject on which there has been much
speculation. He holds the completion
of the knowledge Of the Greenland
coast TO be an event second in import
ance only TO the attainment OF the pole
itself. and he says that IL he does not
capture the pole itself In the spring
of 1901 he will try It again next spring.

At this very moment Lieut.. Peary
may be nearing the realization Of his
lifelong purpose to reach the pole.
Word received from him states that
his purpose at the time the letter was
written, was to make dash TO reach
the pole this summer over the same
route he followed last summer. lie
then discovered that in this polar sea
there are no Islands on which food can
be cached, which makes the attempt
TO reach the pole the more difficult.
Without cached food his means OF sub
sistence is largely a matter Of catch
as catch can" but his familiarity with
the problems that confront him makes
it seem within the bounds Of posi-
bility that this opening year of the new
century will see his efforts crowned
with success.

Although Peary has been further
north than any American explorer, he
has nearly three degrees of latitude
TO overcome to equal either Nansen or
Abruzzi. The former reached Sc de-
Erees IA minutes on the Fran; but
Abruzzl carried the Italian flag to Sc
degrees 90 minutes north. about twenty
miles beyond "Nansen's furthest."
Peary is, however, full Of hope, and,
being well provisioned in good health,
well seasoned by acclimation, and,
comparatively speaking, within strlk-
ing distance Of the pole, he may achieve
his purpose next year.
