No great hope was felt here that they
could ever reach a conclusion salts
factory to both countries. though in
view of the Anglo French agreement
even the most pessimistic are unwill-
ing to be too dogmatic on this point
Both King Edwards personal action
and the step taken by his Foreign Sec
retary are due to a great degree to the
untiring solicitation of Queen AIexan-
dra, who has been greatly distressed
over the war which has involved her
Russian relatives and Great Britains
ally.
DIPLOMATS ARE ASTOUNDED.
Diplomats accredited to the Court OF
st. James express surprise at the fact
that Lord Lansdowne has gone even
so far as she has. 1t was believed, es-
pecially in German quarters. that the
suggested negotiations lived only in the
imagination of the press and that the
authorities at St. Petersburg and Lon
don tacitly sanctioned the fallacy in
the hope of reconciling the British and
Russian publics.
That Lord Lansdowne has taken such
an initiative while Great Britain's ally
is still at war with Russia is regarded
as being a somewhat bold and nnex-
pected step, all the more so because it
is understood here that all the Rus
slams at ST. Petersburg still studiously
avoid visiting the British embassy. One
of the members of the diplomatic corps
here. on learning what Lord LanS-
downe had done, said:
THAT is an olive branch with a
vengeance"
MADRID, April 9.-The newspapers
here comment somewhat bitterly on
the Anglo-French colonial treaty and
assail the Spanish Ministers, who. they
declare, permitted Spain to be despoiled
and her interests in Morocco Obliterat-
ed. The Correspondence accuses Pre-
mier Maura Of being so ''preoccupied
with the conquest of Barcelona that he
was unable to note the fact that Spain
had evacuated Morocco"

RIY AIS OF
FAIRBANKS
ElkinS the Latest As.
pirant for Vice
Presidency.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Recent Re
publican Congressional district conven-
tions in West Virginia have indorsed
Senator Stephen 3. Elkins for the Vice
Presidency and Representative Gaines
of West Virginia visited the White
House to-day and assured the Presi-
dent that Senator Elkins' name would
be presented to the convention.
THE West Virginia delegation to
Chicago will be solid and enthusiastic
for Senator Elkins for Vice President"
said Gaines. I'VE are in earnest in ad-
vocating his nomination and all dele
gates from the State will be instructed
to vote for him"
1t thus appears that Senator Elkins'
candidacy is no longer joke and his
name must be added to the list that is
already rapidly growing large that will
be considered by the delegates at Chi
cago.
OF course, Senator Fairbanks of In
diana heads this list. Up to the pres
ent time no one has had any doubt
that Senator Fairbanks would event
ually get the nomination.
He is supported warmly in his own
State. He was originally a candidate
for President, and he would add much
conservative strength to the ticket. The
Senate is almost solidly for him.
But Senator Fairbanks is not going
to have walkover for the nomination,
and Republican leaders believe that it
would be wise to have contest over
something in the convention, in order
to add interest to it's deliberations.
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota be-
came a candidate for Vice President
during the week and he will have the
support of the delegates from his State.

the Bible which eanpot be substan-
tiated at the bar of reason and evil

In the New Testament he finds little

declaring that 'indiscriminate read

an extremely perilous proceeding" and
adding that 1.-The rigidity which re-
stricts the modern English church to
canonical scripture is as intrinsically
indefensible as it is practically mis-
chievous
Despite it's misuse, however, Canon
Henson holds that the Bible will con-
tinue for all time to be the best man

best corrective of ecclesiastical corrup-
tion,'' besides being the most effectual
check on the materialistic tendencies of

CAUSE OF ANARCHY's SPREAD

CAUSE OF ANARCHY'S SPREAD.
In a. striking analysis of the present
social condition, Canon Henson attrib
utes the spread of anarchy, the ulcer
that is eating the vitals of society,"" to
the disappearance over large areas of
civilized life of the religious bases Of
morality. Yet he finds an excuse for
these mon moral multitudes," who,
from the cradle to the grave, have
faced the severe pressure of competi-
ton, the squalor of poverty and the
miserable exigencies Of unmerited
want" and who inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation of
unearned wealth, the profusion of un-
checked luxury and the insolence of
unchastened power"
The Canon says that when it is re-
membered that these cruel, shocking
contrasts are no longer regarded with
the dull stare of fatalistic ignorance,
but the full light of these doctrines of
equality, which are the commonplaces
of democratic politics" it is no wonder
that 1.-The minds of thousands are pre-
disposed toward the sophistries of an
archy."

lures is seriously shaken in the public
mind, nor can it reasonably be doubted
that the tendencies of popular life, as
at present prevailing, are in the main
hostile to Christian traditions
RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.
In another and similar article
Canon Henson, dealing with Christs
resurrection, asks:
"Is the faith of the church in the
Divine Christ living, present and ac-
tive, really built on an empty tomb?
For myself, l prefer to believe THAT
no such intimate vital connection ex-
lists between the truth of Christianity
and the traditional notions of its his
torical origins"
Sir Oliver Lodge asks, Now that re-
ligion is becoming SO much more
real" whether the formal statement
of some of the doctrines we have in
herited from medieval and still ear
lier times cannot wisely and inoffen-
sively be modified" and shocks many
of his coreligionists by declaring that
he regards the doctrine of atonement
in the concrete form as a survival
from barbarous times" repudiating
the belief in an angry God, appeased
by the violent death of Christ" and
maintaining that human nature now
