be restored, pure and free from the
curse and blight of sin, as when, in the
morning of creation. Jehova looked
and called it good. No more parting.
no more sickness, no more death. This
purified globe, purged from sin and all

ARBITRATION Ayp AYARcHY.

In his address of welcome 10 the Interpar-
liamentary Union at ST. Louis yesterday the
Assistant Secretary of State did well to refer
10 the great part America has played in the
promotion of peaceful means OF settling inter-
national disputes. 1t is quite true, as he said
that for more than century this country has
cherished growing sentiment in favor Of some
form Of arbitration rather than the harsher
measures Of war. Il is also true, though it
may be revelation 10 some. that of the two
hundred or more cases OF arbitration in the
whole world during the last century the United
States has been a party TO about seventy. That
is record of which the country may we'll be
proud, and it is one which may without i'm
propriety be recalled and emphasized 10y an
officer OF an administration which has been
and is second TO none in our history in its
practical devotion to and promotion Of the
principles Of peace.
No less pertinent, however, was Mr.. Loomis's
reference 10 the evils other than war and men
ace of war which exist among the nations
His picture of license at the back Of liberty
was not one whit overdrawn, nor was it In the
least inappropriate in land which has suf
fered as this one has from the deviltries Of
alien anarchists. There is no question that
one Of the most formidable barriers 10 the
increased practice of arbitration ard the ex-
tension of comfy among the nations is to be
found in the problem Of dealing with anarchy
This nation desires 10 give the largest degree
Of liberty TO all within it's bounds. At the same
time, IL does not wish and does not mean to
make of itself a refuge and plotting ground
for international criminals. It desires to make
closer it's relations with other nations through
arbitration, extradition and what not Yet it
must respect the principle Of asylum for mere
political offenders. Where to draw the line be-
tween him who seeks liberty and him who
seeks license is not an easy question to an
swer.
1t is unfortunate that some Of those who
have been ioudest in their calls for arbitration
and peace have also been least ready to rec
ognize the need of checking license. The Inter
parliamentary Union, which has already done
much good work, will make no such mistake
as that. II will do well If, on the contrary, it
follows the judicious suggestion of Mr.. Loomis
and pays attention to these other problems
among the nations, of anarchy and sanitation
and emigration and citizenship. Dumping is
recognized as an evil in commerce when the
objects dumped are manufactured wares. 1t is
even more an evil when concrete criminality
and ilhteracy and pestlence are dumped"
With the commercial problem each nation may
be left TO deal by means Of It's own laws. With
the diplomatic problem those who are striving
for better relations among the nations may ap-
propriateIy concern themselves Let them pro-
mote arbitration, by all means. They will do
so the more effectually If at the same time they
promote international law and order.

The Civil Service Reform Associations letter
to Mayor Mcclellan brings TO attention serious
and evidently purposed violation OF law anu
backs ND the charge with detailed Information
which the municipal administration cannot as
mise of in the usual Tammany fashion. II the
Mnyor really means TO live up 10 his promises
70 the people, he will investigate these state
ments, and If he finds them substantially true
will remove his Park Commissioner for the
Borough Of The Bronx. He viii also dlSciphne
his Civil Service Commission for failure 10
make proper rules TO exclude politics from the
service and for the passage of illegal rules TO
further rhe Park Commissioners partis2n
schemes.
The association reports that In violation OF
law hundreds of laborers for whom no work
was provided, instead of being placed on the
preferred list for future employment, as re-
CURED by the statute, have been carried On the
payroll without pay, and then new men have
been run in ahead of them, thus preventing
their reinstatement. The Civil Service Com
mission helped this plan along by an authorize
ton which it had no power to give. Examtna-
ton shows that the men laid off and deprived
of their right to reinstatement by this subter-
fuge were Republican by a large majority,
while the new men illegally appointed were
almost all Democrats. The association also
says that ''this suspension OF men without
placing them on preferred list was used as
means OF forcing men into the ranks Of the
preferred political party. 1t was generally un-
"derstood, and men were told personally. that
before they would be employed they would
''haye TO secure the Endorsement of the district
Header"
Perhaps Mayor Mcclellan thinks that by pre-
serving an outward appearance of repressing
grosser forms Of vice and maladministration he
can safely tolerate other lawlessness on behalf
OF the Tammany organization. His action on
the present complaint will throw a pretty clear
light on his purposes. He cannot pardon such
violations of law and still command respect
for his virtuous pretensions

WAR views OF EXPERTS
Russians Not Expected to Offer Re

[FxoM THE TRIBUNE suREAu.l

lFkOM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU
washington, Sept. 12-Advices from ST. Pc
tersburg indicate that there will be no Russian
resistance at Moukden, which confirms one OF
the expert theories here that Kuropatkin clngs
to his plan OF wearing out the Japanese. OF
course. it is admitted that he cannot safely do
otherwise with a force which is inferior TO that
of his enemy but II win continue to be regarded
as good strategy II the Russians can continue
to evade their pursuers and escape the menace
OF collision by proceeding further north. The
skill OF the Russian commander win be in his
ability to save his munitions OF war. and this
he appears to have succeeded in doing. although
there are reports that the Japanese troops capt
ured large quantities OF the Russian supplies at
Liao-Yang. Some OF the experts here believe h
would be advantageous to ths Japanese to at
tack the railroad and interfere with the means
OF transportation which the Russians de-
pend. That this is not done is perhaps account
ed for on the ground that the japanese expect
20 make some use OF the same lines OF railroad
for their own purposes. 1t Is also recognized
that the rival forces must be inpeded IN their
movements by the bad roads. and that Il viii
not be long before the two bodies are further
embarrassed by the cold weather. None of the
experts are in position to predict Just what
will be done or can be done In the winter. since
everything depends the severity OF the cl-
mate where the troops are stationed. II is
known here that the Japanese have made pro-
vision for colder weather, but as they are not
so accustomed TO the temperature OF Northern
Manchuria their adversaries, ii may go hard
er with them
1t IS remarked to-day that the means OF com
muncation between Port Arthur and ST. Peters
purg are not interrupted, and this Is taken as
an indication that the Siege is not Immediately
threatening 1t is realized by the experts that
1t may be some time before Port Arthur falls.
and there are those who believe that the force
before Port Arthur has been drawn on to cut
off the Russian retreat further north It Is
possible that the FAILURE OF the Japanese In
such force and renew the activities OF the
besiegers

TIE GEOGRAPHIC CONGRESS.

The science whose deyotees hold an interna-
tionaI meeting in this city to-day and to-moF-
row can be studied from many points OF view.
Some of these aspects are eminently practical
A large part Of the commerce OF the world Is
made possible by a knowledge Of the mineral
and agricultural products of different countries
and of the natural facilities which exist for
shipping them. Incidentally too. familiarity
with the climate OF distant lands becomes de-
sirable, II not necessary. Several European
nations go n step further, and make special
investigation OF the diseases most common IN
their colonial dependencies. Again, since 1t Is
essential that individual owners as well as the
governments of the world should know and
mark the boundaries Of their possessions, geog-
raphy requires the services OF the surveyor.
Unless the work Of the latter were carefully
performed there w0nld be an unfortunate abun-
dance Of boundary disputes
Perhaps the most popular side Of geography IS

of new lands and seas is usually wish TO DIS

There is at least one case on record in Eng

highest mountains on the globe. fascination
greater than that of the best works OF fiction.
Tie interest in these enterprises is always
heightened when to the attraction of simple
achievement is added the element of the pict-
uresque.
Not the least important question growing out
of geographical research is, How shall its
fruits be communicated TO the rising genera
tion? No less than twenty-five OF the papers
to be presented at the meeting In New-York
bear on this topic. The possibility of such an
extended discussion by men and women who
have had experience in educational work Is
certninly suggestive. Is there still room for
improvement in methodist
