THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.
Next Sunday, September 3, comes
the conservation meeting in the Chris
tian Endeavor society. The subject is
the general one of Conservation rather
than the topic set down on the card
for that date, which was used on Au
gust q. Let US try to have a large
and most helpful meeting.
Every seat was taken and some extra
chairs broughtin at the Christian En-
deavor meeting, last Sunday evening,
when W. w. Stevens of Danbury led.
His thoughts on the subject of ''The
Abundant Life were varied and help
full.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the raising of funds for the Father
posed to erect large office building
in Boston next year, the 25th anniver-
sary Of Christian Endeavor's birth,
which shall provide an international
Christian Endeavor headquarters and
also an income, by the renting of Of
fees, that shall save DIR Clark from
business management for more spirit
ual service. Every Endeavorer or
friend Of EndeavOr is kindly asked to
contribute 25c, one penny for each
year that Christian EndeavOr has been
uplifting the churches, to help this
good work along. G. Oscar Carlson,
the local secretary, will receive the
money, or it may be handed to the
pastor.

The santo Domingo Situation.

Although the Senate failed to rat
ify the Santo Domingo treaty, it has
been regarded as wholly probable
that ratification will be secured at
the next session of Congress. This
treaty provided a way by which San
to Domingo would be protected
against forcible debt-collecting ex-
petitions from Europe. 1t proposed
to place the United States Govern
ment in charge of the revenues, In
order to employ an agreed upon pro-
portion of the public income for the
paying off of foreign creditors. The
situation has been so pressing that
President Morales, of Santo Domln-
go, has proposed to our minister,
Mr.. Dawson, that an arrangement
of practically the same sort be put
into effect at once in order to pre-
serve the status quo and prevent CO.
ercion by European warships in the
period that must intervene before
the United States Senate can act
Accordingly, it has been arranged
that Americans, turn 45 per cent.
over to the government of Santo Do
mingo for current expenses, and de-
posit the remaining IS per cent in a
New York bank to be held until ac-
ton by the Senate on the pending
treaty. If the Senate act favorably,
the money accumulated in New
will be used to make installment
payments upon the foreign claims.
If the Senate act unfayorably, the
money will be returned to the Do
minican Government. The President
has, meanwhile, sent Professor Hol-
lander, of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. to look into the question of
the extent and validity of the for
eign Indebtedness. 1t is to be hoped
that the Senate may in due time
ratify the treaty-Review of Reviews

THINKS 1T IMPRACTICABLE
President of Illinois Central Dis
cusSes the Esch-T Townsend
Rate Bill,

washington. Feb. 23-Stuyvesant
Fish, president Of the Illinois Central
railroad, read a statement before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce which has the railroad rate bills
under consideration. Several members
OF the committee desired Mr. Fish to
discuss the subject of differentiaIS and
he consented to return to Washington
at some time convenient to the COM
mittee and give his views. Mr. Fish
gave an exhaustive review of the
changes that railroad securities have
undergone in various parts of the coun-
try. calling attention particularly to
the fact that a great majority of stock
Is held in the United States whereas
a number of years ago it was held
abroad
Discussing the Esch-Townsend bill.
he devoted considerable time to the
subject of the practical. as well as the
constitutional difficulties that would be
encountered by the interstate com
merce commission If il attempts to ar
bitrarily fix railroad rates according
TO the authority given it by the bill.
Just before Mr. Fish concluded his
statement he told Of an interesting
conference he had in January. 1902.
with President Roosevelt over the sub
ject of railroad legislation. Chairman
Knapp Of the interstate commerce
commission was at the conference and
the president was quoted as saying
mat the railroad men and the MEM
bers of the commission should get to-
gether and prepare some measure
that would meet the recognized evils
Of The railroads in the conduct and
mana cement of their business The
president suggested that committee
of five men should be chosen to rep
resent the railroads, and named Nor
ton of the AtchiSOn, Topeka & Santa
Fe: Hughitt of the Chicago & North
western; CaSsatt of the Pennsylvania:
Spencer Of the Southern. and Fish of
the Illinois Central. as a good COM
mittee for the railroads to name. Mr..
Fish said nothing had been done i'm
response TO the presidents sugges-
ton.
After the meeting had adjourned Mr..
Fish was asked why the railroads had
not proceeded according to the ideas
of the president. He said that the
members Of the interstate commerce
commission were not disposed to en-
terrain the idea.
Mr.. Fish also said .that while he
questioned the wisdom Of legislation
establishing fixed price for any char
acter of service. he would gladly CO.
operate with members of congress or
the interstate commerce commission in
drafting some measure that would pre-
vent rebates and other tricks that
limit or destroy competition.
