FOR CENTRAL ART HOME.
City Makes TentatiUe Offer of Site
to Officers of Federation.

Tt learned last evening that city officials had
taken enough interest in the movement 10 erect a
united Fine Arts building make a tentative offer
of a site.
The cost of the building has been estimated at
10000. least and land in a central part OF
the city at s1.Oo0GO0 more. Frederic Crowninshield
president Of the Fine Arts Federation. and promi-
nent members of the federaton's thirteen constit-
uent societies believe the city should provide
site for central art home. it has assisted the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art and the American
Museum of Natural History.
Frederick Dienan. president of the National
Academy of Design. told Tribune reporter last
evening that it true that city officials had in
formally offered site for fine building Un-
fortunately the site too far uptown. and it
was of the first Importance that the site should
be in central part of the city.
Another academician said that the city In
demnaton proceedings should take into consdera-
ton the location of building Of the character of
a home for contemporaneous art. which he thought
would be useful and probably ornamental
than either the Metropolitan Museum of Art the
Museum of Natural History He said that many
artists thought the city should create a park for
the building, and that money for the structure
should be provided in part by patrons whose
names might be associated with the various gal
leries and pavilions their founders.

site. it is expected the administration OF the
galleries and exhibitions will be conducted by the

At WORK FOR PEACE.

The preliminaries are ended, and the envoys
at Portsmouth at last actually at work for
peace. 1t is gratifying TO know, as was
pected, that at their first meeting Yesterday
each party found the other TO have proper Gre
dentials in due form and to be invested with
full power to make a treaty subject, of course,
TO constitutional ratification There has, Of
course, been no uncertainty on this point in the
minds Of the ENJOYS themselves and there would
have been little or none in the popular mind if
the Russian government had made public the
text OF its acceptance Of the Presidents invita-
non, as the Japanese government did; neverthe-
less, IL did not seem possible that either power
would so trif1e with serious situation and so
anront the nation whose hospitality ii had ac-
cepted as TO try 10 play the trick China played
tn 1895. II is to be assumed that the envoys are
also inspired with full intent and purpose to
make peace. Precisely what their order of pro-
cedure is we may not know. Secrecy is the
rule, and it is a fitting rule We may, indeed,
not know definitely the terms of peace until the
signed and ratified treaty is published Mean
time III viii be Judicious TO cherish an expecta-
ton that peace will be made on Just and sta BILE
terms.
There is an intimation that the question of
indemnity will be the crrx Of the whole situa-
zion. We shall not be surprised If such shall
be the case. but we shall hope and expect that
efeH upon tnal punt AGREEMENT VIII De reached.
ii IS easy 10 understand how repugnant TO Rus
sian pride the very suggestion of a cash indem-
nify Is, although other nations as proud as Rus
sia have paid such indemnities. 1t ought not
20 be more difficult 10 understand how re-
pugnant IL would be 10 Japan 10 bear, without
decentralization, the costs of the war which was
forced upon her. The question of cession of
territory, TO wit, Saghalien, is allied with this
In respect TO it there 10 be little doubt of
the power Of the Russian government to make
such cession, even of parts which Japan has
not yet actually acquired by conquest. 1t may
be recalled that the old States General of France
denied the power of Francis 10 ALLEVIATE Bur
gundy, and that the constitution OF 1875. by for
bidding cession OF territory prevented the max
ing or peace at Lise. But Louis NV possessed
and exercised the power Of ceding territory, and
the Czar can doubtless do the same. being at

A NOTED FEVER VICTIM.

Archbishop Chapelle, who died yesterday in
Newt Orleans. is the first noted victim to the
yellow fever epidemic in that city. His resi-
dence was in the foreign quarter, and he ex-
posed himself courageously in his efforts to min
lister to the Italian population, among whom
the plague has made its worst ravages.
Monsignor Chapelle's death will be sincerely
regretted outside the Church which he served
well as within it, for he contributed most eff
centy 10 settling many of the problems which
have arisen in our insular possessions He was
at the time of his death Apostolic Delegate TO
Porto Rico and to Cuba. and as Apostolic Dele
gate to the Philippines he co-operated with Sec
retary Taft in ending the troublesome dispute
over the friar lands and securing their sale to
the insuar government. He was a prelate of
broad and patriotic views and of sterling worth
and character
His death at sixty-three years is a serious loss
TO the Church and to the country. 1t is a seri
Gus price to pay for the Carelessness and slug
gishness which left NewOrleans undefended
against visitation of yellow fever.

The feelings of Russia are. we repeat, 70 be

and doubtless also by the japanese envoys But
IN equal measure the feelings of Japan are TO be

want 10 see her humiliated. But neither does
Japan want to be humillated in being deprived
Of the legitimate fruits of n hard won victory
nor does the world want to see her thus humui-

those who argue that Russia needs an outlet
upon an always open sea, and needs it so much
that she is justified in taking ii, even at the
expense of others. Similarly, there are those
who. with equal reason, argue that Japan needs

upon the mainland. Such principles OF FAIR
play and equal rights will doubtless occur to
the minds of the ENJOYS on both sides, and will
be impressed by the one side upon the other.
They are also to be borne in mind by the world
at large, so that upon their basis fitting esti-

TRAITORS in the highest ranks must be immedi-
'ately replaced by summonlnG 10 the helm OF the
state persons who are sincerely devoted TO the
cause of reorganization and who enjoy the con-
"hdence of the nation" and that 'all true Rus
slams are bound now to take action of the most
decisive character to attain that aim." In its
opening paragraph this Remonstrance declares
that nothing short of the reform of the very
foundations of our existence, and therewithal
"a reform both swift and perfectly definite, can
save Russia" After elaborately and with In
exorable logic setting forth the reasons for that
declaration, its closing words are I'VE can

The question which must now come to the
fore is whether the national assembly which is
to be created will afford satisfactory answer
to this demand. Perhaps II may also be asked
whether, in moving for this assembly. the gov
ernmcnt Is any more III earnest than it has been
during the last six months. The zemstvo con-
gress, as we have seen. refused to believe it was
in earnest or was acting in good faith. If the
Cars forthcoming proclamation should be re-
ceived in that skeptical spirit. the outlook for
practical reforms would be poor indeed. What
is imperatiyely needed at this crucial juncture
is Il large degree of confidence and sympathy
between government and people. Such feelings
do not now exist and have not existed for some
time. 1t is to be seen whether the Gar and
his counsellors will be able to restore them. If
they do restore them, this coming assembly.

Mr. Witte will at least see in the Remonstrance
n veritcaton of the warning which he himself
so wisely and bravely gave to the Gar in De-
cember last-that. if essential reforms were not
granted to the people, the people would rise and
secure them by force. But at least every sim

WORD "osEY" LONG ABOLISHED.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir; I noticed in The Tribune this morning that
the discovery has been made in Pittsburg that the
word obey has just disappeared from the Meth
odist ritual The statement is: Copies of the re-
vised rules 10 ministers Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church which have been received here show that in
tne marriage ceremony the word obey does not
appear Hereafter the bride viii have only agree
TO love- honor and keep him
To Methodist this discovery is ludicrous for the
word obey was removed from the marriage ser
vice IN 1851. and under that service no bride has
been required 10 promise TO obey for the last forty
one years. And though have been minister o.
that church for over fifty years have never heald
of a bridegroom who expressed desire that his
b-lde should make such promise.

THE L4CKAW4NNA,s ENERGY

By the destruction of its terminal station at
Hoboken on Monday night the Lackawanna
Railway was left in an awkward plight OF all
the roads doing business in New-Jersey this one
has. with one possible exception, the largest
suburban service, and it a colossal task to
provide for the commuters in an emergency such
as existed on Tuesday morning In forty-eight
hours temporary accommodations have been fur
nished with almost magical energy, and the
worst of the ordeal, both for the company and
its patrons, is now over
The courtesy shown to the Lackawanna by
rival roads is an exceedingly pleasant thing to
contemplate. On the Pennsylvania, Central New
Jersey and Erie systems the Lackawannas
Communication tickets were hOnored and the
Pennsylvania put on a number of extra trains
to meet the increased demand. In private life
a helping hand is often lent to neighbor in
distress caused by fire or sickness. One farmer
assists another to get in his hay when shower
threatens to ruin the summers crop In the
fierce competition of business though, much
more selfshness is ordinarily displayed To see
a little brotherly kindness exhibited along with
the pursuit of the almighty dollar is sufficiently
unusual TO be noteworthy.
After all, it would be hard to find corpora
ton of any kind-but especially one engaged in
nspOrtation-whiCh is more deserving of
friends in need than the one which has just
found them in abundance. In both its through
and local service the Lackawanna company has
shown a conspicuously progressive and liberal
spirit. Fewer complaints about dirty cars, in
convenient schedules, needless delays reckless
disregard of human life and other evils have
come from its patrons than from those of some
other lines with which the people of this city
are acquainted. Besides, it was already plan
ming to initiate the New-York Central and Penn
Sylvania roads in the erection of q thoroughly
modern terminal station so that it will not
grieve much over its loss. The Lackawanna
has fairly earned prosperity and public good
will.
