John Fiske on the Arbitration Treaty

In notable article in the March At.

John Fiske says;
Under such treaty as this 1.-THE arbi.

the two countries since 1893 might have
been satisfactorily adjusted; the pay
ment Of private debts to British creditors;
the accomplishment OF the frontier posts
by British garrisons the northeastern
boundary; the partition of the Oregon
territory; the questions concerning the
Newfoundland fisheries the navigation
of the Great Lakes; the catching OF seals
in Behriug sea the difference of opinion
over the San Juan boundary, etc.
On the whole there seems to be small
likelihood of any dispute arising between
this country and Great Britain which can
not be amicably settled with reasonable
promptness, under the provisions of this
new arbitration treaty.
If the present proceedings result in the
establishment of a tribunal whose integ
rity and impartiality shall win the per
manent confidence of British and Ameri-
cans alike, it will be an immense achieve
ment fraught with incaculable benefit o
mankind. For the first time the substi-
tuition of international lawsuits for war
fare will have been Systematically begun
by two of the leading nations Of the
world; and an event which admits Of
such description cannot be without
many consequences enduring and pro-
found.
For observe that the interest OF the
present treaty lies not so much in the fact
that it aims at making arbitration the
regular and permanent method of settling
International disputes
The policy of isolation which our coun-
try has wisely pursued for the century
past cannot be maintained perpetually.
When Washington wrote his farewell adj
drees, the danger Of our getting dragged
into the mighty struggle then raging in
Europe was real and serious danger,
against which we needed to be solemnlv
warned. Since then times have changed,
and are changing From a nation
scarcely stronger than Portugal, we
have become equal to the strongest.
Railways telegraphs, and international
industries are making every part of the
world the neighbor Of every other part.
To preserve policy Of isolation will not
always be possible, nor will it be desira-
bic. Situations will arise Cif they have
not already arisen) in which such moral
weight as the United States can exert
will be called for, The publication OF
Europe therefore, is not an affair that is
foreign to our interests. In that, as in
every other aspect Of the Christian policy
OF peace on earth and good will to
men, we are most deeply concerned
and every incident, like the present arbi-
tration treaty, that promises to advance
us even by one step toward the sublime
result, it is our solemn duty to welcome
and encourage by every means within
our power.

senate Proceedings.

Washington, July 19.-The senate, af-
ter assembling, went into executive SEES
sion for over two hours, and on reopenlng
the doors the conference report on the
general deficiency bill was agreed to.
The Harris resolution in regard to the
Union Pacific Railroad was taken up
and Mr.. Morgan of Alabama continued
his speech on the subject He. read a
letter from correspondent saying that
in the manipulation of the stock the large
share holders had been protected while
smaller holders had been frozen out. This
was about to be done again. He hoped
that the president would defer. action in
order to enable congress to look into the
matter.
Mr.. Harris of Kansas hoped that a
vote would soon be had.
Mr.. Thurston of Nebraska spoke in OPP
position to the resolution. He contend
ed that the government had already
rsked enough money in this investment
without CHANGING any further expendi-
ture. 1t would proceed i'll the ordinary
legal methods through the courts of the
country to force its legal rights. The
proposition before the senate. he said,
was simply to invest another S34, O0O,
600 and take the chance of getting, it
back on the ultimate sale of the road.
At 5 o'clock the senate went into an
executive session. and then adjourned.

Due to Germany's Action.

ConstantinOple, July 1.-THE an
nOuncement by Tewfik Pasha to the am
bassadors yesterday that the sultan had
agreed to the principle of their demands
and was prepared to accept their views
on the conditions of peace, was due to a
message sent him prior to the meeting to
the effect that if the porte had not reach
ed a decision the ambassadors would
adopt an important decision with regard
to their attitude toward Turkey. Tewfik
Pasha turned up at the last moment and
announced that he had been instructed to
accept the proposals of the powers.
This change of front is now understood
to be the result of action of Germany.
The reply of Emperor William to the
sultan was ambiguous and had induced
him TO believe that Germany would sup
port him. When, however, Germany
found that the powers were resolved on
coercion, then Emperor William, desiring
to prevent such an eventuality, instructed
his ambassador to go TO the palace and
state distinctly that the Turkish govern
ment must conform absolutely to the de-
cision of the powers.
1t is said, however, that the council of
ministers is not unanimously in favor of
yielding. Consequently further opposi-
ton is feared, although the ambassadors
pretend to be satisfied with Tcwfik
Pashas declarations.
The sublime porte has informed the
ambassadors that it has abandoned its in
tcnton to send reinforcements to Crete.
The ambassadors and Tcwfk Pasha
met this morning at the Tophaneh palace
to continue the negotiations.

hension on the subject. it should be
pointed out that in the communications
now passing there is no question of alter
ing the regulations now in force in the
Bchring sea or Of imposing fresh restric-
tons.
MIR. Foster, on behalf of his govern
ment. is urging that the experts repre-
senting the governments interested
should meet and compare the results of
their Investigations with view of ar

That is the sole object of the proposed
meeting.
Any idea that this conference will deoI

ierences between the representatives of
the United States, Canada and the for
csn and colonial officers are proceeding

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restOr
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver and
kidneys and aids these organs in throw
ing off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton and is pronounced by those who
nave tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

Surest TranauiIlizer of the Nerves.

The surest tranquillizer of the nerves
is medicine which remedies their SUI
persensitiveness by invigorating them.
Over tension of the nerves always weak
ems them. What they need then is a
tonic, not sedative. The latter is only
useful when there is intense mental ex-
element and an immediate necessity eX-
lists for producing quietude of the brain.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters restores
tranquility of the nerves by endowing
them with the vigor requisite to bear,
without being Jared or disturbed I'M
healthfully, the ordinary impressions
produced through the media of sight,
hearing and reflection. Nay, it does
more than this-it enables them to sus-
tain degree of tension from mental ap-
plication which they would be totally UNI
able to endure without its assistance.
Such at least is the irresistible conclu-
sion to be drawn from the testimony of
business and professional men, littera-
tours. clergymen and others who have
tested the fOrtifying and reparatiye in
fiuencc of this celebrated tonic and ner-
vine.

THE RESULT OF VANITY.
Emperor Williams Injured Eye DS,

Emperor williams Injured Eye Due
to an Attack of Egotism.
New York, July IA dispatch to
the World from London says:
The injury to the kaiser's eye was the
result of characteristic exhibition of
personal vanity OH his part. He was in
formed that it would be unsafe, if not
impossible, to lower the steel masts of
the HOheBzOllern, his gigantic yacht, I'M
less she were in dock and under der
rick. He explained that nothing was i'm
possible to him and said il the naval en-
gineers aboard were unable to devise
means Of lowering the mast while the
ship was afloat, he would teach them
how. Accordingly he drew up scheme
FOR unshipping the mast by means of
hawsers attached to the bow and to the
other masts. II was while II steel haw-
ser was being rugged up Hnder his per-
s0nal direction that the rope snapped
and the end of it struck him in the
face. The eye was seriously injured.
The Kaiser bore the intense pain with
out iinching while in sight of his crew.
But when he Withdrew to his own cabin
he threw himself on the bed writing
in pain. by surgical aid he obtained re-
lief He returned to the deck with his
eye bound up, and in spite of the urg-
lngs OF his officers he had the whole
mast lowered, doing considerable dam
age to the yachts deck and rigging by
the operation. Having given this demon
stratiOn of his divine" power, he had
the crew summoned and prayer was
offered up. The episode was due to one
of those attacks Of mania to which he
is subject in midsummer.
The private letter from diplomatic
source in Berlin giving this authenticity
of the incident, says he is very gravely
hurt, and it is quite possible that the
kaisers sight may be permanently af-
fected.

Washington, July 20.-The conference
report on the tariff bill was adopted by
the house shortly after midnight by a
vote of 1856 to 11S, and at noon today the
report will go to the senate for action.
This eclipses all previous records. The
result was accomplished after twelve
hours of continuous debate. But two
speeches were made by the republicans,
the principal one being that of Governor
Dingley.
The democrats were thus forced to put
forth speaker after speaker, but their
bombardment of the republican position
was unanswered.
The sugar schedule was the main
feature of the debate occurred when Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. MeMillin, the two rival
democratic leaders. crossed swords on
the question of othodoXy of the free raw
material doctrine, the former opposing
and the latter championing it.
The galleries were crowded up to the
time the vote was taken. Every repub-
lcan in the house who was present
voted for the report. The democrats
The exceptions were Siayden of Texas,
Brussard of Louisiana, Meyer of Louis
lana. Davey of Louisiana and kleberg

The populists and slverites did not vote
solidly. Mr.. Shafroth of Colorado and
Newlands of Nevada, silverites, abstained
from voting. Mr.. Hartman, silverite.
of Montana, did not vote. The populists
who voted against the report were:
Baker, Barlow, Botkin. Fowler,
Jett Lewis, Marshall, Martin, Pc
tiers, Simpson, Stroud and Vincent, -Four
did not vote-Howard, Kelly, Stark and

absent. oo
An analysis of the vote shows that $50
republicans and 5 democrats voted for
the report; 106 democrats and II popu-
lists against it.
