CzAR'S DISARMAMENT PLAN
Success of the Movement Depends
Upon Action of America.
PEOPLE CAN PREVENT FATAL CATASTROPHE
less the People Who Detest Militia
rism Act with Those who
Groan Under Its Burden.

William T. Stead, writing to the
Associated Press, says:
81 have seen the car. 1 have
heard from his own lips the earnest
desire of his heart that something prac-
teal should be done, and that quickly,
to enlist in the services of humanity
the millions now devoted to prepare
tons for war. He has taken the mi
tiative in summoning the conference.
He is prepared to give earnest evil
dence of his sincerity by arresting the
future increases of the Russian arma-
ments. But, unless he is supported
by the peoples who detest the militia
rism as we'll as by those who groan un-
der its burdens, his we'll meant en-
deavor will fail
1.-The people can, if they will, pre-
vent so fatal catastrophe. AS the
greatest and latest worlds powers they
can, if they choose, save this supreme
opportunity of the century from being
sacrificed by the skeptical apathy Of
the other governments. But to do
this it will be necessary to act, and to
act at once
"What is hoped those friends Of
peace and enemies of militarism who
turn their eager eyes to the great re-
public of the new world is that be-
tween now and the end of January the
citizens of the United States will by
public demonstrations, formal resolu-
lions and by every other action where
by democratic people gives express
sion to its convictions and its aspira-
tons have manifested to the world
their determination to help the car to
put this thing through"

A friend of the late Secretary Bayard
writes: / was much amused at Mr..
Bayard's recital Of an incident some
years before in which he and William
r. Travers we're actors. He said the
rats had become such nuisance in his
house at Wilmington and were 80 ag-
gressive that he went to New York in
search of terrier, and applied to
Travers for information as to where he
could find an establishment provided
with such animals. Travers took him
to rat pit, whose proprietor was a
celebrated sporting character, and Bay
ard stated the purpose of his visit, and
that he must see the dog tried before
he would purchase him. The man
brought out beautiful little terrier,
and after putting him in the pit,
pitched fierce, gray-whiskered rat
into the arena also. The adversaries
confronted each other for an instant
like two gladiators in ancient Rome,
when suddenly the dog took to flight,
pursued by the rat. "Buy the rat,
Tom, shouted Travers; "buy the ratP'

Ten Thousand Troops Reviewed by Pres

Ten Thousand Troops Reviewed by Press
ident Mckinley and His Cabinet.
The reception of President Mckinley
and the members of his cabinet by the
people of Savannah Saturday more
than equalled in hospitality and COM
pleteness OF arrangement any previous
experiences which have marked the
presidential trip through the south.
The party arrived from Montgomery
at II a. m., reviewed 10000 troops
stationed around Savannah, went down
the Savannah river and was enter
tanned in the evening at a grand
banquet given by the chamber of COM
MERGE and association of citizens. The
enthusiasm of the Savannah people
and of the $4,000 persons who it is
estimated had come into the city from
the surrounding country to greet the
president was fully equal to the re-
markable demonstrations which have
distinguished the trip to other cities.

The president will submit the peace
treaty to the senate during the present
session; that much has been definitely
determined upon. The text is still
lacking in Washington, and as the

to entrust the document to the mails,
it will not reach Washington before
next Saturday. Although DESTROYS of
placing it before the senate at the
earliest opportunity, the president will
