at sea as it Is on land.
The conference also adopted q resolu-
ton I'm favor of the discussion by The

the rintoerable expenditure on arma-
ments."
Another resolution provides that
each national group shall apply to its
own government to grant funds to aid
future conferences of the Inter-parlia-
mentary union.
The decision as to the time and place
of the next conference was left in the
hands Of the International council. 1t

gone, neither the government nor the
revolutionists paying much attention
to the former dominant party in the
lower house of parliament.
The government, indeed, has not
abandoned its efforts to enlist mod
crates in the cabinet. Prof. Mouromt-
seff the president of the dissolved
house, for whom Premier Stolypin was
vainly searching with an invitation to
go to Peterhof while the former was
presiding over the outlaw parliament
at Viborg, was again approached to-
day. but there is not the. slightest
prospect that he can be swayed, even
by imperial command, to take office.
No further changes in the cabinet
have been decided upon. NJ. Gurko,
who was assistant to M. Stolypin in
the ministry of the interior. who is
mentioned as M. Stchinsky's successor
as minister of agriculture, and whose
character may be judged by the fact
that he was high in favor under both
Plehve and Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky,
probably will be iettisoned altogether
by Premier Stolypin, his name alone
being sufficient to damn the new gov
ernment. The same fate may over
take Military Procurator Pavloff, who
is now engaged in organizing the
league of estate owners, to educate the
peasantry UP to his ideas before the
new elections.
Plan Relief Work
The most urgent problem before the
government in case an immediate out
break is proposed is the relief of the
distress in the interior. The cabinet
meeting Tuesday evening was devoted
to this subject and it was voted to
extend relief works in the famine dis
trcts.
A commission was appointed to de-
eide where the budget could best be
cut to find the $7,5O0,00O voted by par
lament for famine relief. 1t will be
necessary also to provide cash for the
settlement of claims for damages to
estates during the peasant excesses,
the commission for Yek9terinoslav
province alone demanding $150,000 in
addition to the $250,OOO already expend-
ed, but this is capable of being de-
ferred.
Premier Stolypin announced to the
council of the empire today that he
had obtained from Emperor Nicholas
special powers for Admiral SlSrydloff
in restoring and maintaining order and
discipline in the Black Sea fleet The
admiral, who departed today for Sc
bastopol, told the Associated Press
that his first task would be to investi-
gate the arrests of sailors of the fleet
and liberate those who were unjustly
sent to prison. He intimated that he
considered the officers largely to
blame for the mutinous spirit of the
various sailors. The admiral took with
him new naval procurator to see that
justice is done in future court martials.
Two May Be Restored
Admiral Skrydloff said he had
learned that Admiral Rojestvensky
and Capt. Clado probably will be re-
stored to the roster of the navy.
The Rech will say tomorrow that the
recovery on the bourse today was due
to loan of $25OOOO,OOO by the Men
delssohns to sustain prices.

Linsley said, 'In the progress of American Christianity since 1907, this Church of ours has stood for certain principles and ideas which have had a most Salutary influence upon the moral and religious life of the people.
 There is first her historic continuity. The appearance of this form of Chris tianity in Jamestown, in 1907, is not the first beginning of newly formed body then entering upon new exis- tence, but is the transplanting Of a much older growth in the virgin soil of the New World.
 It was the taking root in the new land of that Anglican Christianity
 which had behind it noble history of
 more than 1000 years in Old England

 then, is a church venerable with age,
 not newly invented thing, not a re- gently formed body made by breaking of all connection with the past and
 setting up new forms of worship and new theories of religious life, and new
 standards of doctrine, but the old
 Church having continuous existence from apostolic days. It is not too much to say that this American Episcopal Church with it's Prayer Book worship has preserved the faitf from dlsintegratiOn and restored pub lie worship to greater dignity anc beauty and reverence. 1t has also been the champion of sober re ligious sentiment which has proved safeguard against the emotionalisu of so-called revival movements whicl have so appealed to the feelings, thai they have lost sight of the moral anc practical side of the awakened reli

 Soon however the parish began rap idly to decline. For several years services were kept up largely by lay reading. From 1874 to 1878 only occa- sional ministrations were afforded by the Rev Dr Lewis, then residing in Watertown. During part of this time the church seems to have been closed.
