 We met the cruisers Kasuga and Nisshin dhe warships purchased by Japan from Argentine and now with Vice Admiral Togo's fieet) at Port Said. but we had not the slightest de- sire to stop them. They had all the appearance of merchantmen and their rough crews dangled their legs over the sides oc the vessels. My ships have returned safely after a voyage longer than that to Port Arthur
 The torpedo boats are now at Libau, where their engines are being over- hauled.

 Gentlemen--Yo letter of April l6 communicating to me the action of St. PauPs parish on Friday evening, April I15, has received my careful and earnest consideration. The invitation extended me indicates such sincere feeling on the part of the parish and voices so clearly a summons to important service that l can return but one answer 1 I accept the call to the rectorship of St. PauI's church in New Haven, on the terms stated, to assume my duties, as you request, on the second Sunday in June for three weeks, and, after two months absence, on the first Sunday in September.
 Let me express to you the deep grati- tude feel for the honor you have done me and the confidence you have shown in intrusting to me this sacred charge. i How unworthy l am to receive it know too well. I can only promise with Gods help to devote myself wholly to the work to which you have called me, and I trust that the future years of our united responsibilities may be lived 1 happily and usefully in the service of Christ and His church.
 I am, faithfully yours, l James DeWolfe Perry, jr. I Rev. MT. Perry was the unanimous choice of the parishioners of St PauPs church, all of whom are delighted to hear of his acceptance. He is person. al friend of the assistant rector, Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, jr, and it was through the recommendation of MT. Stokes that the committee was brought to consider MT. Perry. Mir.

Parsons, to whom the rectorship was first offered, but was unable to accept owing to the fact that his physician ad- Ivised him to remain in California, where he now is.
 Rev. MT. Perry is a young man who is greatly beloved by all who know him. He is an eloquent preacher and a hard worker. There is no doubt that under his able management St. Paurs church will continue to advance in ac- Iccrdance with the splendid examples set 1 by Dr. Lines.
