HERE FELL MONTGOMERY
WORDS THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
AN EXESORE TO CANADIANS.
Monument to the Brave General May
Now Be Erected-WOrk of Ar
bitratiOn Commission.

QUEBEC, Aug. 30.-The work of the ar
filtration committee is evidently increasing
Each day more time is devoted to the seS-
sions, and tonight the American commits
sioners have Cancelled all social engage
ments and are holding a session by lamp
light. What they are discussing or what
was discussed at their long joint session to-
day is not known. Tomorrow a number
of gentlemen from various parts of the
United States are expected here, but the
commissioners will not disclose what inter-
ests these gentlemen will represent.
matter which was not mentioned in the
general protocol will probably soon be
brought to the attention of the American
commissioners. They will be asked to con-
slider the question of a monument for Mont
gomery, who was killed here while leading
a detachment of American troops in 1775. A
small tablet in the rock by the roadside
bearing the words, Here fell Montgomery"
is all that has ever marked the spot where
he met his death.
Several times during the past half century
efforts have been made by different Amer
leans and American societies to have me-
thing done in the way of erecting a suitable
memorial to the memory of the American.
These efforts have failed. The Canadians
have always contended that 1t was not ex-
actly the proper thing to erect on 1.-The sa-
cred soil of Quebec" a monument to the
leader of an invading army. Only few
years since the society of the Sons of the
Revolution asked permission to erect the
monument here, but failed. Now a great
granddaughter of Montgomery, DIR. Liston
Montgomery, of Chicago, has undertaken
the patriotic task and will appeal to the
American commissioners to improve this OPP
portunity for properly honoring the memory
of his illustrious ancestor. Dr. Montgom-
ery's letter, it is understood, is now in the
hands of the commission.
"A large party, composed of the wives and
daughters of the commissioners, left this
morning on the steamer Aberdeen for a
trip down the Saguenay. They will return
in time to take their departure from Quebec
after the adjournment on Friday.
The Gloucester, Mass, fishermen have ap-
piled for hearing before the American del
egation and a representative of their inter-
ests will probably be heard tomorrow or
Thursday In fact, it is known that the
up and has been given considerable atten-
ton in the discussions to-day. The Glouces
ter fishermen will, it is said, favor a reci-
procity arrangement with Newfoundland,
whereby they will be able to get bait from
the Newfoundland waters without paying
the license fee of $1.50 per ton upon all
American fishing vessels entering the New
foundland waters for bait. The Newfound-
land papers and people say that they will
probably have little difficulty in making an
equitable agreement with the United States
in the fishery questions, but they question
If the United States an Canada will be SO
easy to agree.

said to-day that the department intended
to use Hampton Roads and the Norfolk
navy yard to the fullest extent of admins

tended to make the roads a concentration
point for the North Atlantic fleet, but
naval vessels would be continually entering
the roads and the Norfolk navy yard
would be pretty fully occupied for long
time to come, in all probability, in making
extensive repairs and changes upon vessels
of the fleet that, from their size, can be
conveniently aud safely locked and repaired
there. The vessels that sailed yesterday will
be kept at Boston only long enough TO re-
pair them, but meanwhile they will be
opened to the inspection of the public, and

PRESIDENT DoLE,s ACCEPTANCE.
Secretary of State Receives the Off,
cial Papers from Hawaii.

secretary or state receives the Cf1-
cial Papers from Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The incoming
Hawaiian mail brought to the State Depart
ment the last report from United States
Minister Sewall in his capacity of United
States minister. 1t also included several
documents that will be interesting from
historical point of view. The minister trans
mits to the department the formal accept
ance by President Dole of the act of the
to the United States. He also handed to
Mr. Sewall the treaty of annexation that
had been ratified by the Hawaiian Legisla-
ture, but which failed to receive the ap-
prevail of the United States Senate. There
was no occasion to turn over this docu-
ment, but it is presumed that Mr.. Dole did
so to complete the record. There. are some
claims outstanding against the late gov
eminent of Hawaii mainly on account of
British subjects, and the adjustment of
these will be a matter for future considera-
ton. Among the issues satisfactorily closed
according to Mr.. Sewalls report, was the
Hawaii for the illegal detention and return
to Japan of certain Japanese coolie labor
ers, who were excluded under a Hawaiian
immigration law framed after that of the
United States Chinese exclusion act. The
amount of the claim was about $75, 0O0 and
almost the last act Of the expiring Hawaiian
government was to discharge this obligation
which came perilously near involving the
United States and Japan in difficulty about
a year ago.

NO CREDIT TO THE CAR
QUEEN VICTORIA SAID TO HAVE IN
sPIRED PEACE PROPOSAL.
European Politicians Declare Russia
Has Precipitated "a Momen-
tOus WrangIe.

LONDON. Aug. S1.-The Daily Graphic
says that Lord Salisbury, in 1885, commune
Gated to Emperor William a memorandum
showing the tremendous cost of armed Eu-
rope. Emperor William was so impressed
that he privately intimated his intention to
summon a disarmament congress. The semi
official German press ventilated the idea
with the result that so much animosty was
revealed on the part of France that the
Kaiser abandoned the project
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times says: Count Muravieff, the Russian
foreign minister. declares that the idea orig
mated entirely with Emperor Nicholas.
There is much skepticism in diplomatic cir
cles as to any practical results from con-
ference, and it is admitted on all sides that
the circular came as the greatest surprise"
In other quarters it is alleged that the
Cars pronouncement was directly inspired
by Queen Victoria, whose greatest hope is
that her reign may not again be disturbed
by war. The Queen, confessedly, has long
sought to restrain Emperor William, and
it is not unlikely that she used her great
influence with the Czarina to secure the
Cars support.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times still
insists that M. Faure and the French minis
tiers knew ming beforehand and that the
Cars proposal has plunged the entire Off
cial world into terrible embarrassment and
almost into stupefaction. Everybody
says M. De Blowtz, lis asking with dis
may what it means. 1t is a sad awakening
for France, and her papers are making an
immense effcrt to restrain their feelings in
the face of what is regarded as Russian
perfidy'
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: THE proposal is a VIC
tory for M De White, the Russian minister
of finance, over Count Muravieff, the form
er having warned Emperor Nicholas that
if Muravietf's provocative policy toward
England were continued Russia would soon
become bankrupt NJ. De Witte advised dis
armament as peace policy to enable him
to carry out his plans for a gold standard
in Russia and rehabilitation of Russian
finance"

GREAT PEACE PROPOSAL.
Senator Davis Has High Praise for
the Czar's EndeaVOr.


CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-senator Cushman
K Davis of Minnesota, a member of the
Paris peace commission, stopped in this city
few hours while en- route to his home
in st. Paul, where he intends to remain and
rest. until Sept. H. when the commission
sails for Europe. When asked for his opin-
ion of the probable success of the Car for
disarmament conference, he said: while
! the obstacles, in the way of the abandon
ment of the standing armies seem almost
insurmountable, still would not be atiNlI
surprised If very material good could be ac-
complshed by a conference of the kind pro-
posed. 1t might not result in the reduction
of the standing armies, but it would be a
step toward that goal and it might have
side results which would be of the greatest
| value
THE Car has done a great thing in put
| tingt forth his suggestion. While .Lussia
would undoubtedly be benefited greatly by
the change, l don't think that the Cars
motives are in any sense selfish and that
| he is perfectly sincere in his desires to
bring about benefits to all the European ma
tons. The Russian imperial family has al
ways had a vein of humanitarianism and
even of sentimentalism in matters of re-
form and it's achievements have been very
great in some lines.
1T is of course very hard to say what the
| proposed conference would accomplish Eng
land would gain immensely by disarming
| and would undoubtedly work hard for it,
| The smaller ana weaker nations are being
| forced to bankruptcy and ruin by the
armies they feel forced 70 maintain. They
may have to reduce their forces merely to
keep in existence, whether there is any gen.
eral agreement or not. Russia is so perfect
! ly protected by it's barrier of snow and ice
behind it and by the character of its peo-
| pie that it could afford to disarm. Certainly
it would want to avoid fighting until it's
great military road across Siberia is COM
| pleted.
1.-The Eastern question is very serious and
| may at any time lead to trouble. So many
| of the elements of it require delicate treat
ment that 1 do not see how the nations in
terested can afford to disarm until they
| have a good basis for ACTON in this field
Guarantees of good faith will be needed in
some form if disarmament is TO be ac-
complished, and how they are to be given
1t is difficult to see. do not think that an
| international court of arbitration would
necessarily be involved in the disarmament
plan. but the conference may open the way
| to such bit of progress"
