Arbitration Dispiaoinn wan.

and results Of The Hague conference,

OF dispute settled by this means in
the previous so years. knows that

nor even a series OF experiments.

instead Of being the general practice
OF nations, as it was a century Ago.,
when serious disputes arose between
them. is no longer rssorted to except
In rare instances. and in most OF
these Instances the causes run far
back into the past and have created
deep ~prejudices and dee~ply-rooted
feelings Of distrust and animosity
which do not readily yield to rational
pacific treatment. During the decade
OF which We are speaking there have
been four wars: the China-Japan war,
the panish-America Philippine war,
the Boer war and the RussO-Japanese
war; OF nine II we add to these the
Boxer conflict in China. the German
in southwestern Africa, still so
ing on, the Venezuela blockade. the
Thibet expedition and the bloodless
Panama revolution. But during the
same period there have been almost
100 settlements by arbitration. All
OF these have been important, and
some Of them of the most difficult and
delicate character; as for example,
the boundary dispute between Chilli
and the Argentine Republic, the Brit
ish-Venezuelan boundary dispute. the
Alaska boundary controversy and the
sea incident between Great
Britain and Russia. which, though

PLEASURE RESORT OPEN.
Noteworthy Improvement Made at
ChesaDeake Beach

An old favorite in name and reputation,
but in reality a new and attractive resort,
has been opened at Chesapeake Beach this
season. Few who enjoyed the amusements
and natural beauties of the old beach would
on the picturesque shores of the Chesa-
peake and distant just one hour from the
city
Money has been freely expended by the
management of the popular resort In it's
equipment of the beach for the present
season. Old attractions have given place
to novelties, and the whole equipment has
been renewed or improved so that one of
the most modern summer resorts or picnic
grounds accessible from the city of Wash
ington is afforded those in need of reIaxa-
ton.
The management expresses it's intention
to give to all who partoniZe the beach the
opportunity to secure a fair exchange in
pleasure for the expense they incur In
line of this policy is the provision for
dinners and lunches at the hotel a regular
city prices. The head chef of one of the
leading hotels of Washington has been
placed In charge of the hotel and it is
said that his ability has already been DEM
onstrated to the satisfaction of those who
have been to the beach. The new attrac-
tons on the boardwalk and especially the
dancing pavilion, where Director Haley and
his band of musicians hold forth. have
demonstrated their popularity. There is no
charge for the dancing, and this amuse-
ment will be continued throughout the year.
More than fifty attractions have been
added along the two miles of boardwalk
and many of them are said to be entirely
new. The management has left no stone
unturned to make the equipment of the
beach attractive.

MATTER AT A STANDSTILE.
Union of Two Local Churches May
Re Defeated

The union of the New York Avenue and
Assembly's Presby terrain Churches of this
city, which has been generally considered
of the presbytery of Washington a few
taken by the two congregations In this di-
rection were ratified by unanimous vote,
may prove to be a failure. 1t was learned
yesterday that no move has yet been made
by the official boards of the Assembly's
Church toward actual cooperation with the
Ney York Avenue Church. Rev. DR.. Wal
lace Radcliffe of the latter church said last
night that the people of his congregation
can do nothing more than they have al
ready done in the matter and are simply
awaiting the final action by the Assemby's
Church.
ASSemblys Church last evening that there
was a hitch in the plans of those who de-
sire to push the matter TO an immediate
conclusion. The opposition has doubtless
developed through the efforts OF the menu
bers who entered u formal protest against
the proposition at the last meeting of the
presbytery. but whose stand, it Is stated,
was not taken into consideration by that
body because of the small number of the
protestants.
A conference of the officials of the AS
sembiy'ss Church Is scheduled to be held
today, when the matter may be definitely
determined
A regular meeting of the presbytery of
Washington will be held at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning at the. Eastern Presby-
terrain Church. 9th and streets northeast.
and If there Is trouble In the air over the
