These statistics show the product of
Arizona to be l,Sl7, 036 ounces of silver
at cost of S95S, $50, or little over 80
cents an ounce.
The production of California was

lS,4l6, SCI ounces at a cost of 50, 703, 1913
OF trifle over 30 cents per ounce.
Montana produced l3.I37. O61 ounces
and the cost was Al cents per ounce.
The production in Utah was t, 1856, 903
ounces or an average cost of As cents
per ounce.
Mr. Miohels says the total produc-
sion of these five States was d, 7O3. 527
ounces, and the average cost of the
whole was II cents per ounce. He says

tween China and Japan.
LONDON, May "A dispatch to the
Central News from Toxic says that an
imperial decree has been issued setting
forth that the ENJOYS of Japan and
China have completed the task entrust-
ed to them of negotiating a treaty of
peace between the two coun-
tries. The decree, after stating the
conditions of peace agreed upon, says
that Russia, Germany and France adj
vised Japan that the permanent reten-
ton by her of the Lao Tung peninsula
would not conduce to lasting peace in
the orient and urged the retrocession
of that territory to China. The decree
then continues:
I'VE have always been anxious to estab-
lish and maintain peace. Our object in the re-
cent war was To found an enduring peace. We
believe that Russia, France and Germany are
imbued with the same feeling. Therefore
we will not insist upon the retention OF the
Lao Tung peninsula We do not desire to
raise fresh trouble, increasing the calam-
tiles of our people or TO obstruct the ex-
panson OF our country by deter
ring restoration OF the blessings
OF peace China has shown regret for
her breach OF friendship. thus justifying be-
fore the world Japan's action. Japan will
comply with the desires OF Russia. France and
Germany. The manner IN which the Lao
Tung peninsula will De rest red 20 China will
be arranged by China and Japan
Now that this treaty o: peace has been duly
ratified and the Publications exchanged. our
former friendship with China is restored and
the ties attaching US TO neutral countries are
made closer Let our officials and people keep
this steadily in view"

MILWAUKEE, May l3.-The supreme
council of the American Protective as
ISOLATION which held the last session of
its seventh annual meeting Saturday
night, has taken action to control the
elections in all parts of the coun-
try, not only state and local,
but national. On the recon-
mendation of the committee on
political action the council established
board. 1t shall consist of the state
president and one delegate elected
from every state council in the union.

the character and the standing Of
every aspirant for a political office
from the president down and to
select those who are most favorable or
who will indorse the principles of the
order. The members of the order are
expected to cast their votes in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the add
visory board.
The declaration of principles for the
international Protective association
was adopted Saturday. 1t is as fol-
lows:
l. The voice OF the people, intelligently and
Justly expressed. is the supreme law.
2 The perfection OF all law Is the recognition
OF the right OF local Sef-government
8 The right of freedom of conscience of in
teligence, free speech, free press and the
prerogative OF unrestricted private judgment
Is beyond all question.
4 In defining and enforcing the laws and in
the definition OF its jurisdiction and powers
the state is supreme.
D. All institutions of an ecclesiastical charac-
ter claiming temporal dominion or the right to
define the extent of their own jurisdiction are
inimical TO all forms OF constitutional govern
ment and are amenace to the perpetuity there
OF.
g. The intellectual and moral advancement
OF the world Is best expedited by sound and
fraternal union between all peoples and races
whose civilization Is the highest and
whose liberty OF conscience is the most
perfect; and the welfare Of mankind is
best enhanced and preserved by the con-
tinuance OF lasting peace between all
races and peoples opposed TO the efforts of sell
fish and soulless international ana universal.
ecclesiastical and financial corporations TO
disturb the harmony of universal brotherhood
by the rude alarms OF bLrbarous, dehumaniz-
ing and enslaving war.
The Junior A. =. A. was organized,
which will be under the jurisdiction of
