son of General j, s. Witcher, NJ the

TO numerous friends as we'll as to the
family Of the deceased. He was kind,
genial, generous soul, a skiful physi-
clan and surgeon OF sympathetic
nature and free-hearted disposition
10 the poor and afflicted he was as a
mlnIsterlng spirit. How many such
patients he attended without exacting
a cent for his services, and how many
he provided with aid and medicine at
his own expense viii never be known

their works" In wide circle Of as
soclates there will be deep sorrow and

INTERNATIONAL LAW NEEDED

Considerable disappointment Is ex-
pressed In this country, and not with
out ground, over the decision OF The
Hague tribunal. in the Venezuela mat
ter which was referred to that court, on
the suggestion Of the United States.
The decision was In favor OF the coun-
tries that threatened to collect their ac-
counts by force. So far as the none
tary consideration goes, the decision Is
considered Of little importance, but II
Is pointed out that It gives a precedent
in favor Of war for the purpose OF col
lectIng bad debts. The United States
contended that all the creditors should
be given an equal chance, while the
court held that the powers which re-
sorted to force should have the prefer
ence In the matter That certainly, Is
a queer decision II is as II, In private
litigation, the court should give prefer
ence to the creditor who could prove
that he had threatened his debtor with
personal violence, before asking the
court for q Judgment. II does not
prove, though. that arbitration Is
wrong in principle, or that The Hague
court is a useless institution. But II
proves the need OF code Of interna-
tlonal law, according TO which all cases
can be adjudged, Let the nations come
together In a universal congress and
adopt such laws and rules as are need
ed, and The Hague court will I'LL its
mission, But In the absence of such
laws, the decisions will naturally be

tionary agitation from many directions
There are the anarchists who advocate
assassination Of the rulers. There Is
the social democratic party, that Is
seeking TO bring about parliamentary
rule. The Jewish revolutionary party
which had It's origin in the persecution
OF the Jews, aims TO bring about re-
lIgious liberation and the removal oil

Students Revolutionary League, which
seeks to do away with present arbi'

Formerly, revolutionary agitation IN
Russia was confined to the educated
classes and more particularly to stu
dents. But now. II Is said, disaffec-
ton with absolutism has gained much
strength among the peasantry and
