well educated people, the present gem
Grafton has not produced a historian,
one who could write or compile the
history of the United States of that
period embraced within the past two
score years and ten. Partisan rancor
or prejudice to a certain extent, con-
trolling the mind or pen of the writer.
The Southern man who has attempted
to write history is as much controlled
by his environments as the writer
north of Mason's and Dixon's line. 1t
is but natural that the Southern peo-
pie should prefer such histories as are
compiled by Southern writer's. They
contain less Objectionable statements
and ''perversions" than books written
by people of the North. STILL every
history of recent years has been sharp
ly criticised by historical committees
who have been assigned the duty Of
careful examination. ] do not think a
single so-called history has been is
sued that has not met more or less
adverse criticism from these historical
committees.
This simply goes to show the falli-
bility of human judgment, the judg-
ment of the historian and the judg-
ment of the committee. l have failed
to learn of a historian accepting with
out protest, the rulings of these COM
mittaes.
What, then, are we to do to secure
for the present generation an impair
tial history? 1t is an axiom that such
a historian does not exist in the United
States. History we SHOULD and must
have, therefore we must appeal to the
non-partisan and where can we find
such except in the person of for
elgner. .

and munitions and trained men for
the great 'jehad.' When his plans are
ready and his time is come, new
chapter will be opened in the history
of Islam, chapter which will cast
into forgetfulness even the recent vol
canic outburst in China.
Abdul Aziz, although a young and
comparatively untried man, would be
a great leader in war, if the judg
ment of those who know him best is
worth anything. He is as brave as a
lion, and would as soon tackle wild
boar or mountain lion with his naked
hands as eat his dinner. He showed
great courage and generalship in put
ting down the recent fanatical insur-
rection against him, which arose ow-
ing to his fondness for Christians and
Western civilization.

old Bedouin sheikh who fought Alb
duPs father and fought Abdul him
self three times unsuccessfully, "he
will show himself to be a worthy cap
tain of Islam. Verify he will be-
come the Sword of Allah to defend the
Faithful and smite the unbeliever. The
blood of the Prophet does not flow in

their present policy a collision is in
evitable sooner or later, and there will
probably be some unpleasant surprises
in store for the invaders.
It might have been supposed that
the French had had enough trouble
and expense in conquering Algeria
and suppresslng the many subsequent
revolts of the "indigenes" without
wishing to tempt fortune by the larg-
err task of attacking Morocco. The
British army knows the fury of a
Ghazi rush on the hills of Northern
India and respects the military quail
ties of Fuzzy Wuzzy" in the Soudan.
The Morocco tribesmen are not a whit
less warlike than those other Moham-
medans, and they would fight in a
country which suits their tactics and
strategy as well as South Africa suit
ed the Beers.
There is another consideration which
enters into Frances attitude towards
Morocco, and that is the vast and
growing power of the Senussi cult
throughout Mohammedan Africa and.
indeed, all over Islam.
From his mysterious city at Jarabub,
the head of this secret society, whose
aim is to overthrow the Christian
power and make Mohammeda nism
dominant throughout the world, con-
trolls millions of adherents. Abdul
Aziz, like all other rulers of Islam. is
in close alliance with him. The former
reckons on the help of the Senussiyeh
if France attacks Morocco
This society numbers millions of adj
herents among the finest fighting
races, and it has worked steadily for
generations towards the end which it
has in view.
Sooner or later" says Prof. Duncan
Macdonald of the Hartford Comm
Theological Seminary, profound stu
dent of Moslem affairs, "Europe-in
the first instance. England in Egypt

THE COLORADO IS FAST.
On Her Onicial Trial she Maintained
an Average Speed of 2:.20
Knots an Hour.

Boston, Oct. 25.-The armored cruis-
er Colorado, built for the United
States navy by william Cramp &
Sons, OF Philadelphia. yesterday on
her official trial covered SS nautical
miles In hours 81 minutes and z sec
onds. maintaining an hourly average
speed of 22.2G knots throughout the
run, exceeding the speed Of 20 knots
called for in the builders contract by
more than quarter OF knot. It IL
thought that tide corrections may in
crease her average slightly. The
highest speed developed was 23.3S
knots, and this was maintained for six
and six-tenths miles during the home-
ward run.
Yesterdays performance rates the
Colorado as the fastest vessel in the
armored cruiser class and one OF the
fastest in the navy. the only large
American ships that have ever ex-
ceeded her speed being the Columbia
and Minneapolis. The engines worked
smoothly and developed an average
horse power of $4,000 and the ponder
GUS twin screws whirled at an aver
age of 1913 revolutions minute and
at times made 80 revolutions. The
great ship responded to the slightest
touch on her helm.

A STRINGENT LAW.
Episcopal Convention Reach Agree
ment on Divorce Question.
No Remarriage OF Divorced Persons
Otherwise Than the Word OF
God and Discipline of
Church Allow.

Boston, Oct. 25.-An agreement on
the divorce question was reached Mon
day by the house of bishops and the
house of deputies of the Episcopal gen.
eral convention. after many days OF
discussion. That section OF the canon
bearing directly on the remarriage OF
divorced persons which was amended
by the bishops Saturday assented to
by the deputies Monday and becomes
effective at once Is as follows:
mo minister, knowingly after due
inquiry shall solemnize the marriage
Of any person. who has been or Is the
husband or the wife of any other per-
son then living, from whom he or
she has been divorced for any cause
arising after marriage. But this canon
shall not be held to apply to the in
nocent party in divorce for adultery;
provided that before the application
for such remarriage period of not
less than one year shall have elapsed,
after the granting Of such divorce;
and that satisfactory evidence touch
ing the facts in the case, including a
copy OF the courts decree and record,
II practicable, with such proof that the
defendant was personally served or
appeared in the action, be laid before
the ecclesiastical authority, and such
ecclesiastical authority having taken
advice thereon shall have declared in
writing that in his judgment the case
of the applicant conforms to the re-
quirements Of this canon and pro-
vided further, that II shall be within
the discretion of any minister to de.
cline to solemnize any marriage
The bishops adopted an amendment
to a section referring to the admins
tration of sacraments providing that
II clergyman shall have reasonable
cause to doubt whether a person has
been married otherwise as the word
of God and discipline Of this church
allow" such clergyman shall refer the
matter to the bishop before admin
istering the sacraments. The deputies
had made an exception in favor Of
the innocent party divorced" on the
ground Of adultery who had remarked
but the bishops struck out the ex-
ception. Their action was accepted
by the house of deputies.
Leading churchmen expressed the
opinion that the restrictions placed
upon the remarriage of an innocent
party to a divorce are so stringent that
the remarriage of divorced persons will
be rare in the church hereafter. 1t is
understood, however, that an attempt
will be made to have the next conven-
ton specifically declare against re-
marriage under any conditions.

Supreme Court of United states AZ
firms Conviction of August Cliff
for violation of OleO Law.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Justice Brew
er, of the supreme court of the United

sion Of the court in the olemargarine

firming the decision of the United
States district court, by which Cliff
was convicted of violating that por-
ton of the oleomargarine law fixing
a tax of ten cents per pound on oleo-
margarine artificially colored. In this
instance palm oil was used for the
purpose of coloring the substance and
the prosecution was resisted on the
ground that the oil produces a natural

court did not sustain this view, de-
claring that the palm oil was put In
for no other purpose than to produce
a yellow color.

BOTH ARMIES ENTRENCHING.
KuropatIsin VIII Make No Move

pei Him to Act on Defensive.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 25.-There Is no
news of immediate Importance from
the far east. The indications
are that both sides are heavily en-
trenching. though II is believed that
Gen. Kuropatkin will be ready for q
forward movement at an early moment
unless heavy Japanese achievements
compel him to remain on the defensive.
Reports that Japanese achievements
are arriving, taken in connection with
the inforced inactivity of the Russian
forces on account of the weather. are
felt to be grave factor in the situa-
ton. There is reason to believe that
the Japanese are drawing heavily upon
the Port Arthur army as well as on
Japan. in hopes of securing numeri-
cal superiority that will enable Field
Marshal Oyama to inflict crushing
blow upon Gen. Kuropatkin when hos
tilities are resumed.
