Another Note to the Powers.

That the further interchange of views
preparatory to The formulating of Il
programme for another peace conference
at The.Hague be effected through the
international bureau under the control
of the permanent administrative Council
of The Hague is the suggestion offered
by Secretary Hay in second circular
note to the powers made public at the
State Department yesterday. The note
was dispatched a week ago, but its pub
LEGATION was withheld until it had reach
ed the various American embassies and
legations abroad. The secretary sumala-
rizes the replies OF all the powers TO his
note of October 81, and expresses the
qualification of the President at the cor.
dial reception OF his invitation. Having
taken this initial step, however, the sec.
rotary says the President feels that he
has gone as fer as he appropriately can,
and that, with the general acceptance
Of bis invitation iuprinciple, "lhe future
conduct of the affair may fifty follow its
normal channels" Regarding the con
di lional acceptance Of Russia, Secretary
Hay says that while the postponement
which this reply necessiates is to be re-
GREETED, this government recognizes the

The Gospels and the portions OF the
New Testament which follow make many
references to the prophetical books OF the
I'D Testament, and Christ Himself said
all things concerning Him in the Law,
Prophets and Psalms must be fulfilled.
In The meantime jerusalem was to be
trodden down of the Gentiles until the
times of The Gentiles he fulfilled, when
ever that shal be.
The Church Of the present day seems
to dwell almost entirely upon what oc'
Cured during lie third OF century
that Christ tabernacled with men, viii g
references 10 the future history Of the
planet are ignored. There are divers
prophecies concerning the Son of Man
that haze never been fulfilled Ii terally
or in any other way which are spiritual
lied and explained in a sense many be-
lieve never was intended.
The ancient Israei.es seem never to
have understood anything in the proph-
ecies save the CABLING pictures con-
corning The Desire Of all Nations.
they failed TO see much in prophecy
that refers to more serious scenes in con-
nection with the first advent. Prob
ably many religious people at present
commit a similar blunder in refusing to
look st the many forecasts OF a brighter
day to dawn upon the planet. Medi-
tations on such subjects are IN order
during the Christmas season..

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Our attention has been calleG to
wise words uttered by Bishop Chas.
y. Galloway of the Methodist Epis-
copal church South, who made Il most
impressive and saGaciOus address to
the graduating class at the commence
ment exercises at Tuskegee, Ala
bamas great cOlored college. Bishop
Galloway pointed out to the members
of the class that upon them very crit
ical eyes would be fixed and that as
they lived and succeeded SO their peo
pie would be judged. In conclusion
the bishop said:
"Speaking here and elsewhere as
the friend of the negro, l Will not con
ceal from you the fact that in my
judgment this is the most critical per-
iod in the history of your people. The
other persons of both races with their
peculiar and pathetic attachments are
fast passing away. Between the
younger generations there are no
such ties of sympathy, but rather, |
fear, a growing estrangement.
And there are others who have pro
nOunccd education a discredited ex-
periment--a demonstrated failure in
the elevation OF the race. That ins1e cad
OF being a potential agent in the re-
demption of a people ii has wrought
them injury and threatens their rum.
A few have gone 50 far as to declare
that education has increased immor-
atty ana crime. Now all this | have
publicly and enlphatically challenged,
ana | call upon y0u Young people of
this institution by the purity Of Your
living and the fidelity OF your service
TO make good hat challenge. Demon
strate the fact that the agency that
has been allpOWerful IN the history
OF every other people shall not meet
its first defeat at your hands Answer
those criticIsns-nlany OF them per-
fectly honest and sincerc--not by
harsh and defiant speech. but by the
ovorWhciMilI@ argument of unassaIl-
able character and lmquesloned inte2-

Tits Vile Follows Sol.

A dwelling house, or villa,
which turns with the sun has been
designed BY NM. Pellegrin & Pet
tit, Partisan architects, and exhib-
tied at the Exposition de rHab-
itation, Paris. The house, in fact.
is heliotropic, and emulates the
sunflower. TIE foundation is a
sort on turntable resting on ball
bearings, and the house can be
turned by hand or BY means OF a
motor. In very not sunshine the
front rooms and the back can be
made to exchange places. The
general object of the plan, how
ever, is to get as much sunshine
as possible. The movement in
following the sun is a few inches
every hour, and the inhabitants
hardly perceive it. When me-
chanism is employed the house
turns once round in twenty-four
tours.

grading is already completed from
Monterey to the river and as soon
as the bridge is finished the rail
road company will begin the build
