PRINATE AN ARBITRATOR.
Cant erbury Writes DR.. Msokay Regarding
Scotch Church Dispute.

Before sailing for England yesterday
on the Cedric, the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury, in letter to the Rev. DR.. Donald Sage
Mackay Of this city. reiterated his willing
meas to act RS arbitrator in the trouble be-
tween the Free Church and the United
Free Church in Scotland. DR.. Mackay az
a Scotchman had expressed the hope that
the Archbishop would be able to act, with
the consent Of leaders Of each OF the az
fected Scotch churches, and settle the
dispute.
The Archbishop had offered to act as
arbitrator in previous letters to Principal
Rainy of the United Free Church and to
the Rev Murdo Mcqueen OF the Free
Church
In his letter to DR.. Mackay, the Arch
bishop said

To THE EDITOR THR suns ! desire to
call your attention to an extraordinary condition
Of affairs In the Slnetecnth Assembly district.
While some OF the election districts are four blocks
In extent, the Fourth Election district contains
ten blocks. This election district. although difer
entity numbered heretofore. has I believe. always
had large voting population In recent years, but
al the rate at which voters were registering this
morning, and considering the number OF large
apartment houses recently built In the district
Il seems probable that the registry will equal or
exceed that OF any other election district In the
city yet the place for registry is small florist shop
on Broadway, with narrow entrance door There
Is but one entrance to this shop. and persons com
Ing out are interfcred with by those going In.
In my deliberate Judgment IL will be impossible
within the hours prescribed by law 10 handle the
number OF voters who will register, There Is time
10 AFFORD relief, and the attention OF the election
officials Ia called to the matter to that end.

Appalling, Indeed!

Col. WATTERsoN announces that he
has secured for publication and intends
to publish a series of papers on the
tention from the beginning to the pres
ent time" The author, it scarcely need
be said, ia the Hon. John T. MORGAN
THE plain narrative of the Grand Old
Man of Alabama, declares Col. WAITER
SON. lis simply appalling
So we should say! flour approximate
estimate is correct, the incidental re-
marks of the venerable Senator on this
one subject, published by the Govern
ment Printing Office at Washington,
already amount in bulk to several mil
lions of words more than the combined
writings of WALTER SoOTT, EDWARD
GIBBoN and HENRY WATTERsoN himself.
Surely, appalling is not too strong a
word to apply to a complete and formal
narrative from the beginning to the
present time such as Mr.. MORGAN now
contemplates.
The effect Of the prospectus on Col.
WATTERsoN's own sympathetic mind is
unfortunate. The renewal of verbal
activity by Senator MORGAN has inspired
the Colonel to accuse that astute juris-
consult Mr.. WILLIAM NELSON CROMWELL
of Wall Street, and that; Frenchman Of
initiative and enterprise Mr.. PHILIPPE
BUNAu-VARILLA of Paris, of having sub
scribed jointly one million Of dollars to
the Roosevelt campaign fund

of convicting the precious pair of this
crime. There will never be any way of

The Second Day.

To-day is the second day for registra-
ton.
The time required for registration is
but trifing Five minutes is a longer
period than is necessary in most cases.
Even where there is an unusually great
crush at the place of registration, ten
minutes will cover the time necessary
for a citizen to get his name upon the
list. If each man expected to spend
the longer period in the place Of regis
tration, it would inconvenience him but
little to arrange his trip to his work or
his home-going in such fashion as to
prepare for it. There are always men
who cannot register on the first day.
For them other opportunities to get
their names on the list are provided, and
the first of these is to-day.
For those who have Saturday half
holiday and who neglected to register
yesterday, to-day will offer the best
opportunity. The places Of registration
will be open all day long.
The man who neglects to register will
be without the right to vote, and cannot
help to smash the Grocery.
Register to-day!

THE SULTAN'S Successor.
Threatened Dyaastle Revolution Would
End Turkish Rule In Europe.

To THE EDITOR OF The suN-!Sr: Reports
from COnstantinople speak OF considerable
agitation in Turkish circles over the question
OF the succession to the throne, which has
been revived owing to the failing health OF
the sultan. A commission composed OF three
members has been appointed to look into the
law and custom on the subject and decide
whether the succession shall follow the usual
rule. or fall to the member Of the imperial
family designated by the Sultan.
In the first case, the next bearer OF the
sword OF Othman should be the eldest male
OF the family after the Sultan-his brother,
Mehemed Rechad but the Sultan, dsre-
garding both law and custom. has named his
fifth son. Durham ed Din. as his successor. In
this he is supported by Izzet Pacha, his score
tary and one Of his chamberlains. who Ia a
member of the commission, and by the Min
listers OF War and Marine and the Grand
Master of Artillery.
Writing on the matter. correspondent

described. revolutionary movements raised

have been set aside and by officers weary
OF the existing regime are imminent In Tur-
