ONE OBSTACLE IN THE WAY.
Vatican Does Not Like the Idea Of
Directly ExpeIing the Friars.

Rome, July 5.-After an examination of
the note submitted by Judge William II.
Taft, civil governor of the Philippine
Islands, regarding the friar lands In the
archipelago. the vatican finds one very
great obstacle to the withdrawal of the
friars
The vatican would not object If the ex-
pulsion of the friars was arranged and
carried out by another power so that the
Holy See would only have to recognize
the accomplished fact, but 1t shrinks from
drawal, especially since the religious or
ders are powerful in Rome, and above all
others in the sacred college. The efforts
of the vatican are directed towards find
ing a way to consent to the withdrawal
of the friars of the islands without APP
pearing to do so. In fact the vatican, it
is believed. would welcome a show of
force to which it could submit. 1t would
much prefer, however, a compromise pro-
parishes they left in 1898, but allowing
them to remain where they now are OF
where there is no local opposition to their
minstrations
The cardinals and Judge Taft were to
have meet July 10 but requiem mass
for the late King Albert of Saxony, to
be celebrated in the Sistine chapel at
which the Pope and Cardinals will assist,
has necessitated a postponement of the
meeting.

SELECTING ARBITRAToRs.
Several Names Suggested to Settle the
U. S. and Mexico Controversy.

Rome, July SIN view of the POSSIBLE
ity of The Hague international tribunal
recommendations that arbitrator of a
neutral country be chosen to settle the
question between the United States and
Mexico regarding the Plus claim, the fol-
lowing names have been suggested
Signor Zanardelli, the Italian premier:
the Italian ambassador to Austria Hun
gary; Count Nigrasi, the italian ambas-
sador to France; Count Torneilli, the
president of the Italian Senate; Signor
Saracilo, the president of the chamber;
Signor Biancheri and Senators Willard,
Pagano end Viconti Venosta. The latter
were chosen by King Victor Emmanuel
to study the Anglo-Brazilian dispute re-
garding the boundary of British Guiana
in which his majesty is arbitrator.
The Plus claim amounting to about
81 ,OO0,000) has been pending for about a
third of a century. 1t involves a dispute

est on certain church lands which the
Mexican government undertook to hold
as trustee for the church.

CHINA APPEALS TO
U. S. FOR HELP
WANTS THIS COUNTRY TO PRE-
VAIL ON SOME OF THE OTHER
POWERS TO REMOVE THEIR
TROOPS FROM TEN TslN.

Washington, July 5.-The Chinese gov
eminent has appealed to the government
of the United States to use its good offices
to cause the allied powers who still re-
tain their soldiers in Tien Tsin to evac-
uate that place in conformity with the
spirit of the agreement of Pekin, which
settled the Boxer troubles. The appeal
was made today by Minister WI directly
to Secretary Hay in the shape of a cable
gram from viceroy Yuan Shin Kai of
Chi L. which the minister supplemented
with a long verbal explanation.
The author of the message, Yuan Shi
Kai, has taken the place of the late Ii
Hung Chang to a large extent in dominat-
Ing Chinese foreign policies, and the Uni
ted States is the more disposed to heed
his appeal because of his excellent con-
duct during the boxer uprising. He was
the principal means of communication be-
tween the outside governments and the
legations during their time of peril. and
but for his strength of character the en-
tire province of Shan Tung would have
been drawn over to the boxer cause.
Secretary Hay will address himself to
the various governments probably
through Mr.. Conger at Pelxin and the
foreign ministers there located. The sit
nation at Tien Tsin Is peculiar, and in
the view Of the State Department the
attitude of the foreign military officers
there is perfectly unreasonable. The
State Department has satisfied itself that
the foreign ministers at Peldn whose
governments are represented by these
military leaders are thoroughly anxious
to have the treaty of Peldn executed In
a fair spirit, and to that end have Tien
Tsin evacuated at the earliest possible
moment by the foreign officers, so 1t will
carry the Chinese appeal to the govern
ments concerned
