SALARIES OF PEACE COMMISSIONERS

Washington Letter in the Boston Herald.
 It has been decided to pay the members of the peace commission out of the $50,- GOO, 900 fund appropriated for the national defense. This is necessary because the emergency fund of the state department is too small to provide adequate salaries for the members of this distinguished com mission, together with their proper expen- ses, as well as the ordinary calls made upon 1t. It is probable that the salaries to be paid will be quite large, and s25,0o0 apiece is talked of as a reasonable figure.
