Through the press, through the pulpit,
through the platform you must assault
it. Would to God that all our Ameri-
can Christians would band together,
not for cracked Drained fanaticism,
but for holy Christian reform! think
it was in 1898 that there went out from
Lucknow, India, under the sovereign,
the greatest hunting party that was
ever projected. There were 10000 arm
ed men in that hunting party. There
were camels and horses and elephants.
On some princes rode and royal ladies
under exquisite housings, and 500 cool
les waited upon the train, and the
desolate places of India were invaded
by this excursion, and the rhinoceros
and deer and elephant fell under the
stroke of the saber and bullet After
awhile the party brought back trophies
worth $4,000 rupees, having left the
wilderness of India CHASTITY with the
slain bodies of wild beasts. Would to
God that instead of here and there a
straggler going out to fight these great
monsters of iniquity in our country the
millions of membership of our
churches would band together and hew
in twain these great crimes that make
the land frightful with their roar and
are fattening upon the bodies and souls
OF immortal men! Who is ready for
such party as that? Who will be a
mighty hunter for the Lord?

PRICE OF SILVER DECLINES.
New York Dec. S,-The Journal o
Commerce says;

New York Dec. 3--The Journal Of
Commerce says
Bar silver was quoted In London
yesterday (Monday) at 25 1-l6d per
ounce. This Is the lowest price In
about three years. the highest In that
period having been reached at 80 S-i6d
In 1900
During the past week, the price has
sagged off about full penny In
duirv among dealers In silver tends to
show that the decline In the price Is
not due to increase In production but
rather To decrease In the demand In
continental Europe. The two great
foreign markets for silver at present
are the continent and India, and II Is
asserted that the competitive buying
of these two customers Is necessary to
maintain the price. India Is at present
buving about its usual quota OF silver,
but the demand on the continent has
been much curtaled. The domestic
demand runs along evenly, with little
feature. AS to the reason for the de-
cline In the do-Nr~S from the continent
there seems TO be some difference Of
oninion. There is at times consider
able speculation In silver. as In metals
like copper and tin II is argued that
large surplus Is being carried in this
country. This, however Is denied by
the refiners, who declare they are SELL
ing their product as fast as II is re,
fined. and exnlain the decline by saying
simply that the continental demand at
present is dun.

New York, Dec. 3.--The Novoe Vrem-
va quoted by the ST. Petersburg cor
respondent Of the London Times and
New York Times, comments on the
visit Of the Marquis Ito to Russia, It
says the japanese statesman viii have
observed In authoritative quarters In
st. Petersburg "a love OF peace and
absence OF that taste for political adj
venture which may be noticed as being
prevalent, not in London as formerly
may have been the case, but in city
considerably nearer TO st, Petersburg"
The Novoe Vremya declares that both
nations PRUSSIA and Japan would gain
more by an amicahle understanding
than by treading the slippery path Of
bitterness and conflict. 1t would be
useful to other parties If the relations
of these two nelghbors were disturbed,
but this Is the very trap the Japanese
should be careful to avoid. The pa
per adds:
IF Marquis Ito devotes his efforts
to preventing the Japanese from be-
coming the dupes Of our common well
wishers he will always retain the
sympathies OF Russia"

cd 20 Prevent Inter-Americnn
. ~ Aggression.

Mexico city, Dec 2--The session OF
the Pan-Amercan conference took an
unexpected turn today The order OF
the day called for session on the pro-
lect for u pan-American bank and the
exchange OF official publications, but al
the opening Of the session Mr.. Baez, oil
Paraguay, took the floor and made a
speech advocating a comprehensive
scheme Of arbitration.
Delegate Baes said that the Monroe
doctrine only protected the American
nations from European aggression.
What was needed was another doctrine
to protect them from aggression on the
part Of each other. This desideratum
had been supplied by the Dlaz doctrine,
recently enunciated by Senior Chavero
at the banquet given by the Mexican
delegation in honor Of their colleagues.
The basis of the Diaz doctrine, he
said, Is peace, but peace can only be
assured through justice and justice can
ouiy NC dSsuleu through dlDllIHllUn.
Therefore, said Mr. Baez, 1t should be
the desire to proclaim compulsory and
universal arbitration as the basis of the
International law of the Americans.
The CHILEAN delegates showed mani
fest indications of Impotence during
the speech of Mr.. Baez At its conclu-
sion Mr.. Matte, of Chill, said that he
thought II would be better for the con-
ference to confine itself TO the order
of the day, instead OF listening to o
mere academical discussion.
Mr. Bermejo, Of Argentina, when he
arose TO report on the project OF the
nan-Amcrlcan bank, took exception TO
Mr. Mates remarks, saying that the
subject OF arbitfa ton was not acad-
emlcal, but one that vitality concerned
the future peace of the American con-
;inent, he then went on to show the
expedency OF the pan-Americah bank.
The Gillian delegate then offered an
amendment to the effect that Interested
governments give their proposed bank
a subsidy Of 100000 gold per annum
for Ave years to start with, to be con-
tributed according to population by the
several countries. The project was re-
