Murder at KineO.

During a quarrel at kneo, last Satur-
day night, between john Smart and
Paul Peters, two well-known guides,
Peters shot Smart through the left lung.
Smart died from the effects of the wound
Sunday. Peters gave himself up TO Sheriff
Gehigan sunday, and was locked up.
He was taken to Dover, Monday for "a
hearing. 1t is said that the men had
been drinking, while Peters claims that
Smart and another guide named Bridge
had abused him all day Saturday. There
is some question as TO Peters's sanity, AS
he was at one time confined in the insane
hospital.
Both men avoided each other as much
as possible, Saturday, but late in the day
they met in the guides house and after a
few words the shot was fired.
Both men were considered good woods
men, and it is said that the quarrel be-
tween them was an old one. Smart was
80 years old while Peters is much older.

An Important Proposition.

By order of Emperor Nicholas, Count
Muravieff the foreign minister, on the
oath inst, handed 10 the foreign diplo-
mats III ST. Petersburg a note declaring
that the maintenance of peace and the
reduction of the excessive armaments
now crushing all nations is the ideal for
which all governments ought to strive.
The Gar considers the present mo-
ment favorable for the Inauguration of a
movement looking to this end and invites
the powers TO take part in an interna-
tona conference as means of thus as
surfing real and lasting peace and termi
mating the progressive increase of arma-
ment.
This proposition creates sensation
throughout Europe, and its source and
the evident sincerity of the Car does
not detract from its great interest. 1t Is
matter of trauscendent and far reach
ing Importance. If war can be avoided
by conference of the powers, in human
ity's name let it be done. The world
will be the better for 1t.
the proposition is being discussed in
the papers quite generally. Some dis
trust it and others say it is impractical.
Such things have been attempted before
without full success but the world is
gravitating toward peace among nations,
and an attempt now ought to stand a
better chance of success than IN former
times. In any event, an international
conference in favor of peace can do no
harm.
Our own country has had taste of
war, and, although successful on all
sides, the taste is sufficient. Americans
should be for peace, and Spain can do
nothing in the way of war now. Let US
have peace and lasting peace.
