1t is Reduction of Christian Coun-
tries to State of vassaIage
To Eastern Peoples.
COUNT TOLsToI FoRSEEs 1T.
Declares Christianity Has Ever Been
Simply Prctext for the
Church.

Paris, Jan. 5.--Count Leo Tolstoi has
written a letter TO Paul sabatier apro-
pos of the latter's recent book on the
disestablishment of the church In
France in which the famous Russian
author predicts the possible reduction
Of all the Christian countries OF the
west to a state OF vassalage to the
Japanese and oriental peoples. He
bases his prediction upon the ground
that ii is only in the orient that re-
ligion and patriotism are Synonymous.
In this letter Count Tolstoi displays his
old time vigor of style and clearness
of ideas. He says In part:
Religion is truth and goodness. the
church falsehood and evil. 1 tell you
frankly / cannot agree with those who
believe the church is an organization
indispensable for religion. The church
has ever been a cruel and lying institu
tion which in seeking for temporal ad-
vantages has perverted and distorted
the true Christian doctrine. All the
concordats have been for 1t nothing but
compacts with the state whereby the
church supported the state in return for
specific material advantages. Chris
tianity has ever been simply a pretext
for the church. | may be told that
there have been and stlll are in the
Catholic world men and women OF holy
life, but l answer that these sainted
lives are not due to the church but
rather in spite of the church.
In spite of all the efforts of church
and state to unite the two principles.
true Christianity dove, humanity and
kindness) and that of the state (phys-
ical force and violcnce). the contradic-
ton has become In our time so fragrant
that solution is bound TO come.
Several symptoms prove this. First.
the religious movement Is not confined
to France, but exists in all Christian
countries; second, the revolution in
Russia; third the extraordinary militia
ry and industrial progress which is
manifesting itself in the orient, In Chi
ma and especially In Japan. The pres
ent religious movement which is going
on not only in Catholic countries but in
the whole world. is. I believe nothing
but the unrest accompanying the exit
from the dilemma"

JEWISH TERRITORIAL
ORGANIZATION PLANS.

New York, Jan. 5.-Cyrus L. Sulz-
berger, chairman of the American
council of the Jewish territorial organ
ization gave some details yesterday of
the project of that organization to di-
vert the tide of immigration caused by
the prosecutions in Russia from New
York TO Texas. The plan was first an
nounced in London few days ago at
a meeting of the British federation of
the Jewish organization. Israel Gang
Will said at that time that the British
federation had created a department
for the regulation of emigration, the
treasurer OF which was Leopold Dor
othschild. Mr.. Sulzberger, who Is to BE-
In charge of the American part of the
scheme. said yesterday that II had been
thought that too large a portion of the
Jewish immigrants to this country re-
manned in New York. which they found
difficult to leave later OH. If the great
bulk could be brought to Galveston.
whence the trunk lines could distribute
them throughout the west among towns
which needed workmen, the growing
congestion would be relieved. Mr.. Sulz-
berger said that II was not purposed to
pay any steamer passages. The man
ayers of the scheme in Europe would
originate ways of reaching intending
immigrants and influencing them to go
TO Galveston. Men would be employed
by the managers on this side of the
Atlantic to collect information about
labor needs In the west and northwest
The immigrants arriving in Galveston
would be classed he said. and upon the
information gathered as to labor needs.
which would be available Mt the CAL
weston office. efforts you'd be made TO
distribute the immigrants to places ac-
cording 10 these needs. He confirmed a
report that Jacob II. Schiff has given
the organization to understand that II
may draw upon him to the amount OF
100000.

OF those around the city and county

who will land appointments under the

as several of the officials succeed them
selves and find no occasion for making
changes In their clerical force. In
fact, the new officials are not contem-
plating any radical changes in that
respect, as most of the employees are
well qualified for the positions they
hold and have rendered good service
to the party which placed them in Of
