UNIV ERsAL PEACE CONG REss.

| UNIV ERSAL PEACE CONG RESS
! ing that the seventh Universal Peace
Congress is TO convene on Friday, Au-
gust 16, at a city to be hereafter
| designated. The call is issued by
the International Peace Bureau of
Berne, Switzerland. the American branch
of which is in this city. Mrs. Belva A Lock
wood being the secretary. The bureau has
prepared quite an ambitious programme
for the consideration of the congress, and
has invited the peace societies in different
parts of the world for their views concern
ing it.
The first question to be submitted to the
congress is a proposal To organize a move
ment infayorof a suspension OF armamcnts.
In this undertaking the congress may pos
sibly be aided by the fact that the military
and naval establishments of the great
powers Of the world are rapidly approach
ing point when, on account OF their drain
upon the nations, reduction, IL not suspen-
sion, viii become necessity.
International arbitration is another item
in the Peace Bureaus programme. What
ever may be the more or less remote pos
sibilities OF a suspension of amaments,
there can be no question that public opinion
is concentrating upon the subject of settling
International disputes by arbitration in
stead OF by appeals to arms. In the United
States sentiment is strongly in favor Of
the more pacific policy, and this country
can the more actively labor in behalf OF
the cause, because it is not embarrassed,
nor Skcly to be, by cntanglements that
would lead TO war. In more than one iu-
stance it has set an example to other ma
tions and also used its influence TO pre-
vent conflicts between them.
Participation Of workingmen in peace
societies and congresses-a most import
ant feature, because nobody suffers more
by war than do the working cIasses-and
the adoption of universal language, are
two more features OF programme that is
fun of interest

The Mint Scandal.
NUMBFR "a.

The Gazette's special from Carson
says there is considerable excitement
i'll town and many rumors are floating
around regarding the big Mint steal.
1t has the following regarding the ex-
animation of John Il. Jones:
@The examination OF j. II. Jones
was resumed this morning, with Mint
Inspector Mason on the Gtand, being
cross examined by Attorney Coffin.
Mason is n shrewd man and has his
theory rs to the Mint shortage. and
all the efforts OF the attorney to have
him express opinions other thun in
conformity with his theory was of no
avail. AS in yesterdays examination
there was some lively tilts between
the witness and the attorney. A
witness ut the noon recess was heard
to remark that they would railroad
man into prison simply upon 'theo-
ries.'
"Piper, the man arrested at Berke.
ley as being connected with the Mint
shortage, demanded an examination
by the authorities OF California before
being brought to Nevada, and the
time set for the hearing was Monday
next. This will probably set some of
the many guessers at rest rs to why
the prisoner did not arrive in Carson
yesterday.
aPiper was released on giving 900
bonds.
@Mason was still on the stand when
the Gazette's report closed. Among
tbs things he testified to was that a
key to the melter and refincr's de.
partment was found in Jones' desk in
the Mint. 1t was supposed that there
was but one key to the department,
and the supposition is that Jones had
n duplicate key"

are to be landed at Corinto, the Gus
tom Houses are to be occupied and
British officers are to exercise tho
functions of Collectors OF Customs.
At the same time the Nicaraguan lc-
cal commerce is to be crippled by
blockade.
Tho coast defense vessel Monterey
is still at Acapulco, Mexico, about
500 miles north OF Corinto. She is
expected to sail southward very soon,
but no special orders have been sent
her since she sailed from San Diego.
The limit OF time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires tomorrow and the
blockade is to begin Immediately after
