A Prayer of Gratitude.
Lord. for the erring thought
Not into evil wrought;
Lord, for the wicked will Al
Betrayed and baffled still; Y
For the heart from itself kept,

For pain, death, sorrow sent
Unto our chastisement; g
For all loss of seeming good,

CITY RailrOadin q,

Quite apart from the merits OF the
cause for which he spoke, that was a
wonderfully interesting story OF the
growth and needs of great corporation
which the Hon. WILLIAM c. WHITNEY
told on Tuesday before Mr.. Justice SCOTT
in the Supreme Court, where he appeared
as witness in the suit brought by lsIDoR
WoRMsER, Jr., to break the lease Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway system to
the Interurban Street Railway Company.
If it be true that ght-thinking man
is always able to express himself clearly
and forcefully, then there are few hurdles
in the course of Mr.. WHITNEY S thinking.
Rarely has dry and complex question
of finance been discussed SO illumina-
lively as the former Secretary of the
Navy discussed the lease of the particular
properties at issue.
There was a part of Mr.. WHITNEY's
testimony, however, that should have
a special interest for both small and large
investors in traction stocks and for those
who never tire of demanding that street
railway companies be compelled to carry
a person indefinite miles for single fare
without limit to transfers.
One reason, then, and an important
one, to account for the need of funds by
the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany was that, thanks to the enforced
extension of the transfer system it has
been carrying one-half of its passengers
for two and half cents ride, or at
less than it could afford to and still pay
fixed charges and dividends. The only
inference to be drawn from this testi-
mony is that when the great territory
in the borough of The Bronx is threaded
with electric roads, as the Interurban
company proposes to thread it, the trans
fer system will either not be extended
to the new lines as it now prevails on the
lines Of the Metropolitan system, or the
burden will not fall on the Metropoli-
tan stockholders, but upon the stock
holders of the lnterurban company, who
have guaranteed the present dividend
Of per cent on Metropolitan stock.

The Fate OF the Servian Assassins.

The Emperors of Russia and Austria,
the two sovereigns most concerned in the
maintenance Of existing institutions in
Servia, have addressed to the new King,
PETER l., kilograms Of recognition, and
from his father-in-law, the Prince OF
Montenegro, and his brother-in-law, the
King of Italy, he has received the con-
gratulations that were to be expected.
FRANCIS JOSEPH refers darkly to the cir
cumstances under which the King comes
to the throne, but the Russian official
communication Of recognition says fatty
that he must punish the assassins.
Only one Power, Great Britain, shows
disposition to withhold recognition until
its Government has satisfied itself re-
garding the actual situation, the desire
being to express its Reproduction OF the
act that vacated the throne in the event
Of the new Government being found to
have been implicated in it. The French
and German Governments have already
virtually approved Of the King election,
30 that the external support that was
necessary to assure his International
position has been accorded him.
Coming to the throne through violence,
PETER has been singularly favored by the
political conditions in Europe. The Gov
ernments of the countries from which
Servia as an independent State might
have had everything to fear are them
selves threatened by internal difficulties
in greater or less degree, and are there
fore most earnestly DESTROYS of avoid
ing everything that could involve them
in external trouble. Italy and Hungary
are without Ministries at the moment,
while Germany is in the throes Of a criti-
cal general election, and the stability Of
Austria depends on the personal inau-
ence Of the aged Emperor.
Will the circumstances that have car
ried Servia through her extraordinary
crisis in quiet sustain the King in his I'M
precedented embarrassment over pun
ishing the criminals who have given him
his crown? Will the plan for accom-
plishing that turn out to be letting the
episode close finally with the royal ex-
pressions of horror at the assassination?
The sincerity Of European adherence
of regicide is on trial, however Europe
might wish it otherwise

TROUBLE OYER FRIAR LANDS.
Philippine Commission May Decide to Exor.
else the Right OF Eminent Domain.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-Reports received
at the War Department from Manila indi-
cate that the Philippine Commission may
determine to exercise the right OF eminent
domain to acquire the lands Of the religious
orders In the Philippine Islands, unless
Archbishop Guidi, the Vaticans repre-
sentative, comes to some agreement with
the Philippine Government within short
time. Every effort Is being made to enect
power, but the latest information from
Manila Is that all other resources have
been practically exhausted, and that, 90
long as the friars continue to oppose the
efforts Of Archbishop Guild, no agreement
can be looked for.
The present status Of the case. as ex-
planned to-day, is that while the Vatican
Is perfectly willing to adjudicate the ques-
ton relating to Church property, it has
absolutely no authority to compel the
doy 70 T EH' sse .netl fTom the Vatican
assurances that it would support the Philip
pine Government in it's negotiations with
the friars, and to this end Archbishop
Guidi was sent to Manila to conduct the
negotiations wi TIL Gov. Taft: Positive in
formation has been received here to tho
effect that Archbishop Guidi has failed to
secure any concessions from the friars,
but that, on the contrary, the friars have
begun to use their influence In Rome against
upon the payment OF extremely high prices
for some Of their property ana name
figures that are considered by the Philip
pine Commission to be absolutely prohibi-
tive.
Should anything be done that will tend
to further delay the negotiations II is the
opinion here that the Philippine Govern
ment will consider the advisability Of TAX
ing steps to acquire the friar lands by the
exercise Of the right Of eminent domain.
That such situation was expected to arise
is shown by the fact that authority to take

The Baltimore Saengerfcst

In addressing the great audience which
greeted him at the opening concert of the
Northeastern Sangerbund in Baltimore
on Monday evening President ROOSEVELT
gave utterance to the wish that such
clubs as the German singing societies
might be formed everywhere among the
citizens of this country as promoters Of
that admirable sum Of beneficent ele-
ments which the Germans call gemuth-
lichkeit." The President might easily
have gone further and wished that the
singing society would domesticate itself
for the sake of its promotion of its lovely
art, rich in refining influences, an art
which in its continual appeal to the finer
feelings Of men makes some considerable
contribution toward good citizenship.
But ouriously enough, although the
German carries his singing society with
him wherever he goes and sets up the
Liederverein under the Southern Cross
or under the equatorial sun, he never
succeeds in imparting love for it to
other peoples. The Mannerchor-the
male chorus-and the part song appear
to many to belong exclusively to the
German, but its twin may be found in
,.rs choral societies of the Welsh. The
Welshman has his Eisteddfod, in which
he, too, completes in choral song.
Neither OF them, however has aroused
in the American any love for this form
Of entertainment. Year after year Ger
man and Welsh festivals of song, with
spirited struggles for prizes, go on. but
the great general public takes no heed OF
them and makes no attempt to initiate
them. The American treads indus
triously in the path of the Briton, and
forms choruses only for the production
of oratoros and the giving of huge
music festivals, in which, after all is said
and done, expensive imported soloists
are the real attraction. Such an organ
ization as the Liederkranz or the Arion
