A PEACE CONFERENCE.
Importance Attached to the Coming
Gathering in Paris.


LONDON, June 11.-Humanitarians in England
are looking forward with great expectations to
the conference which will be held in Paris on
the 29th and S0th Of this month in the interests
of peace on earth and good will to all men.
There Is some ground for attaching greater i'm
portance to this gathering than to an ordinary
peace congress, las this will be made up entirely
of Legislators of the countries represented, men
not only with influence in shaping the policy
of their own country, but who have a voice in
the directing of that policy. Many members Of
the British parliament and French senators and
deputies, at whose instance the congress is
called, will be present and quite a number Of
American legislators have also signified an in
tention to attend. The aim of the congress is to
provide plan for the arbitration of disputes
between nations and in this way
AVOID THE POSSIBILITIES OF WARS.
Another congress which will assemble in
Berne. in Switzerland, in the near future is
looked forward to with considerable interest
This is the labor conference, to which every
European government has been invited to send
a representative. There has been much doubt
expressed as to whether the tory government
of Great Britain would condescend to take part
In a gathering OF this sort, but Sir James Fer
guson, under foreign secretary, now announces
that her majestys government will send
representative, although to a certain extent he
will go with his hands tied. He will not be al
lowed to discuss any proposal either to limit
the hours of adult male labor, or to restrict
p1DsluctiOn. Labor leaders here are thankful
THAI they have even this concession from the
government, although they would have pre-
ferrsd it if the English representative had been
permitted to go untrammeled, and free to con-
vince his colleagues, if he could, Of the cor
rectness of the English view. As it is he will
not be able even to discuss these important
questions. which will undoubtedly occupy a
large share of the attention of the congress.

new contract which they will have to enter into

the city. The principal objection was the placing
of too much control in the hands of the Commits

tions" as were contained in the proposed new
contract.

Not a Presidential Post-office.

Areporter called the attention Of Mr.. Clark
son, first assistant paymaster-general, to the
post-offce case at Cannelton, Ind, about which
the President had been criticised because Of
the appointment Of Mr.. Zimmerman. Some
papers have quoted Mr.. Harrison's speech in
the Senate in 1885 in opposition to the removal
OF Mrs. De La Hunt, former postmaster, from
this Office, and have criticised his action in fail
ing to appoint her now, when she was an apph-
cant with Mr.. Zimmerman. Mr.. Clarkson said:
1.-The President had made a memorandum
directing the appointment of Mrs. De La Hunt
supposing the office to be presidential, but the
appointment was really of the fourth class, and
had already appointed Zimmerman upon the
recommendation of Representative Posey,
whose endorsements are usually followed in
the district, knowing nothing of the desire of
the President for Mrs. De La Hunts reappoint-
ment nor of the circumstances of the case.
am inclined to think that it will yet be changed
and that Mrs. De La Hunt will be appointed,
as il was the intention of the President to ap-
point this Union soldiers widow to the Camel
ton postofice.
