still prevailed. the Pontiff suffered much
less from pain than on the preceding days
Of his illness He also took a greater
amount Of nourishment, and his strength
was we'll maintained.
Although the general condition Of His
Holiness is not yet such to justify abso-
lutte optimism for his recovery, his physi-
clans believe that If there is no relapse he
will be able next week 70 abandon his bed
They say. however. that his conva lescence
will be a lengthy one, as II will be neces-
sary for him 70 submit TO a severe regimen
with regard 20 both food and work. Drs
Petacci and Marchiafsva twice visited their
patient to-day. Dr.. Arnici also was in at
tendance upou him.
The Pontiff again to-day became tired Of
his bed and sought relief in his armchair,
in which he sat for a long time. Besides
his sisters and his niece, the POntiff had
as callers Cardinal Merry del VAL the Papal
Secretary OF State, and Monsgnor Bisleti,
major domo of the Vatican. with all OF
whom he had long conversations.
He took the greater interest in current
Vatican affairs. and asked Cardinal Merry
del Val for reports on questions ecclesiasu-
cal and political His Holiness told the
cardinal he was most anxious 10 return 20
his desk. where he was certain there was
a great accumulation OF work awaiting him.

There seems 10 be a cessation Of the
Russian and German agitation against
the Treasurer General Of Persia. who
happens TO be an American in the ser
vice Of the Persian government. and
there IS reason for hoping that it will
not be revived. or at any rate will not
prove formidable. The facts Of record
concerning it certainly place it in a de
cidedly unworthy light and make it diff
fcult 10 conceive any motive which
would Justify it. At the best. il appears
10 have arisen either from unreasoning
jealousy or from an inexcusable misaD-
prehensiOn Of Mr.. ShuSter's status and
the intentions and relations Of the
United States, and it has been main
tanned and even extended long after its
complete abandonment by the official
who started it.
In virtue of the law Of June Is last.
Mr. Shuster was invested with the CON
troll Of all the imperial revenues and
with the sole power 10 draw checks
upon the public funds This situation
was M once and understandings accepted
by the Russian Bank and by the In
perial Bank Of Persia IL was chal-
Itnced. however. 10y Mr. MOrnard a Bel

Persian customs service This gentle
man insisted that ne should DE per
mitted TO continue not only the collec-
tion Of the customs hut also the paving
therefrom Of interest ON the Russian
Consolidated Debt and other fixed
"a argos against the customs revenues.
according 10 earlier agreements by the
Persian government Mr.. ShuSter in
sisted that the later law superseded
those arrangements and that all funds
must PASS through his hands. and i'm
that attitude he was enthusiastically
supported by the Persian Parliament.
BY the chief financial institutions aud
by practically an enlightened public sen
timcnt. Mr. MOrnard. on the other
hand was supported in his denuncia-
tion of the new Persian law rs invalid
BIZ tie Russian and Belgian legations,
the latter going 50 far as TO threaten
10 withdraw all Belsians from the Per
sian service.
Neither the Persian government nor
Mr. Shuster could be prevailed upon 10y
threats. however. and on July $ they
appeared 10 be triumphant Mr. Nor
uard. ar any rate. personally conceded
the correctness ~ Mr.. Shuster's course,
and agreed To- acquiesce In il and 20 rec
ocnize the validity Of the Persian law
Of June IL and Mr. Sinister full pow
ers Hereunder. The Russian minister,
however. was quite recaicitrant and per
sisted in ignoring or defvns Mr. Shus
ter and in attributing 70 Mr. Moruard

THE AYTI-ARBITRATIOy VIEW.

THE ANTI-ARBITRATION VIEW.
The attitude Of those who oppose i'm
tprnational arbitration or any arrange
ment for the peaceful disposition Of in
ternational controversies is set forth
clearly and directly by Vice-Admiral
Won Affected (-etired), Of the German
navy. IN the current issue Of the
"Deursche Revue" He and his col
leagues. he SAYS have always main
tanned that there can be no international
court Of arbitration. IN which cOnten-
zion they now triumph doubly." The
grounds Of thai triumph are, first, that
facts have proved incontestably' that
they are right. and second. that the last
two German c1ancellors have said so.
AZ for the pending arbitration treaties
between America and France and Amer
ica and Great Britain, nothing has
been changed or improved by them IN
regard 10 the prospects Of eternal
peace" Then he goes on to say that
deer and antelope thrive best where
there are lions and tigers 70 kill them:
and best on a powder cart. and that en-
during world wide peace would mean de
generaev and be misfortune for the
human race
The "fncont estable proofs" that the
naturalization propagandists are right
are not apparent. II would be interest
ixs m know what they are. On The
other hand. the inc0ntestable facts are
fLpSe. that an international court Of
arbitration has been created and IS
actually i'm existence and IN effective
operation az The Hague that three Of
tie most important and most militant
nsrions in the world are now m the
very act Of p,edgng thepselyes TO sub
n.it all their differences thereto or all
which cannot Dee settled by other en-
tirely peaceful means. and that several
other highly important and militant
nations are seeking 20 be included IN
the same provisions. We certainly can
rot see I'm those facts any convincing
dcm0u>tra ton of the correctness Of the
proposition taat az international court
Of arbitration Is impossible. but rather
d strong suggestion % the contrary.
Neither. witt all respect. can We regard
the dsspproval II two German chan
cellors as entirely and hopelessly con

DESTROYING THE EVIDENCE.

DESIRO1iNG IHE ~ iDbNtE.
Il Is an axiom among lawmakers that
proposed law must be rested rs 10 its
desirability by the worst which could
be accomplished under il. Measured by
that test. Section 237 Of the proposed
charter for this city, TO which the Citi-
zens Union has directed the pubic's at
tention. falls far short If destrabllity.
This provision permits the Mayor, on ap-
plication of the head of city depart
rnent or bureau. to order that official TO
destroy departmental records and docu-
ments. If the Corporation Counsel give
bis assent.
The possibilities Of such q law need
hardly be dwelt on. II is the first in
stinct Of the thief. in difficulties, to get
rid of the goods and destroy all in
eliminating evidence The interest of the
public lies in having department records
and documents preserved. at least 10 a
point where their destruction Is sane

authority, as is the case now with county
documents. an order for the destruction

Division. To permit the head Of a mu-
nicipal administration. with two Of his
appointees. 10 do away with records Of
