course impossible to say. Two causes suggest themselves, both of which may be more or less concerned. One of these is the almost unprecedented influence of the present Russian Minister of Finance and his counsels of caution as a result of the great drain of the Si- berian railroad on the national treas ury. The second influence may not inn probably be traced to the disastrous harvests which have been experienced in Russia for the past two or three years.
 Were England disposed to accept the suggestion of disarmament she would find her position a complicated one. In the first place there is the Indian army It is necessary to maintain depots for it in England, and these could not at present be decreased. Aside from this, England's land forces are not large if we count out those actually engaged in campaign duty in Africa, or abso- lutely necessary for garrison work else where.
 Were disarmament attempted to be extended to naval as we'll as to land forces, there would be many practical difficulties in the way. The number, size and resources of the existing fleets of all the powers cannot be stereotyped Every proposed change offers room for great conflict of opinion, and this If carried into action, might, indeed be the basis for new wars.

You forget it now and then driving up the winding road, forget everything save the broad expanse of the bay and the stately sweep of the hills of San Francisco a dazzling pie ture yelled by the sun-fiItered foliage of the trees that dot the way. But a sudden turn in the road and it thrusts itself into the landscape and projects itself into your thoughts.
 Twelve years ago." said the driver to me, Joaquin Miller bought this land. There was not a tree, not a shrub on the place then; bare undulat- ing hills, scooped out like the hollow of the hand for the house to nestle in. Now there are trees and flowers and green pasture lands for the cattle. But even the cows and chickens are eccen- tric; every one says sol" And the driver pulls up his speech and his horses and I alighted.

the fourth wall, at either end hung two faded curtains with an air of past elegance still clinging to them. Be- side the bed stood a bureau and a chair. The floor was bare of covering.
 The Poet of the 'Sierras" observed my puzzled look and said: When first bought this place I had a number of Portuguese at work here for me. built them this chapel for their devo- tions. Behind those curtains are the altars where burned the candles to Our Lady I use this for my room now.

 The monunlents?'' Joaquin Miller direct gaze. ''Yes, I will tell you a bout them," he says, finally. But first, go talk to the flowers and birds for an hour and then I'll take you up there. I want to finish some work.
 On the stroke of the hour he ap- peared. In to his high-top boots he had tucked his faded blue trousers Over gray flannel shirt was tan colored corduroy velvet vest and in placeof belt the ends of a crimson cloth sash ffaunted proudly in the breeze. Over his back he had thrown bear skin and in his hand he carried a shotgun From under his big black slouch hat es> 1ped his long. light brown hair streaked with gray. The long beard and mustache were entirely white.
 Why the bearskin? Why the gun, on such day, in such place as this l was asking myself when bang. a squirrel lay dead in the pathway.

was bought by a Californian for big sum of money. Afterward 1t drifted South, where it remained until long after the late war. Finally it fell into the hands of Frank McCoppin, who gave it to Joaquin Miller.
 All, this the poet told me to the tink- ling accompaniments of the silvery spring that bubbles forth from the rocks.
 Don't say I am building a monu- ment to Fremont" he said. "The good God built mighty one when he put these rocks here. I shall only finish 1t up a little and carve a name-that is all.
 '"The stones and rocks that I shall use for the walls, towers and monu- ments would otherwise incumber the fields and prevent the cattle from hay- ing good grazing ground"
 We walked back to the funeral pyre. With my own hands" continued the poet, 'I planted the trees on this place to cover the nakedness of Mother Earth Twelve years ago I put in the first stone of this monument. I have still three other monuments to finish, but this one is ready for me and for all who choose to join me:

bay toward the beautiful Golden Gate gleaming in t.le far distance
 Yes, in sigkt of all this beauty" he answered. But it is not for myself alone that l have built this pyre. All the people in the wide world are vel come to have their ashes laid to rest here. All I ask is that they do not come in carriages. Let the friends carry the corpse to the funeral pyre A carriage Is hard on a live man let alone a corpse. And there are other ways to get man to his grave besides with a brass band. Dead men need no carriages; very few living men re- quire them. 1 do not ask that they be cremated. IA there are people who are ayerse to cremation they can be buried on this slope. The Vanderbilts and ,Mackeys have built beautifui tornbs for themselves. Why cannot a poor man build a pyre that is not only for himself, but all others who wish to come?
 When I first bought this place there was lady here friend of mine. She. too, wished to be cremated on this spot. Later she went to Paris and died there. I had her remains brought out here and quietly burned Her ashes lie at the foot of this monument for it was not then finished"
 When asked her name the poet rev erently removed his hat and silently pointed to the powder.
 I read my answer there: ITO the Great Unknown"
 From the funeral pyre, a monument as the poet calls it. we walked to the apex = the next hill, where stands the half-completed pyramid to Moses.
 What suggested this?' I asked
 The law of eternal harmonies. Note the shape of the hill and that of the pyramid. See how the contour of tn. one suggests the other. I had to build the pyramid, for ever since came here this pyramid-shapedh hill has kept say. ing to me, Finish me- The world will never know, the world will never admit how much 1t owes Moses, so to whom could I-more fittingly dedicate the

plans which makes the prospect of the peace programme seem dubious, to say the least.
 But of course If such a suggestion as this were to be made to the world it Is eminently fitting that Russia should make it. She Is the ally of France, whereas if the manifesto had come from Germany, whose attitude has more than suggested it on several occasions, it might have appeared as hostile to France; in other words as a plan to make France aequiesce in Germany's permanent possession of Alsace.
 Still there is something curious about the way this peace manifesto came The change of front on the part of Nicholas II, which 1t indicates, reminds one of Lord Salisbury's sudden flop on the occasion of the Venezuelan dispute with the United States. It is hardly four months since the Czar was con sidering, if not counseling, a directly opposite idea-that of combining an enormous increase of Russian naval forces with an increase of his vast standing army.
 To what occult influences the sud- den change Is to be attributed 1t is of

 Over to the right stands the huge pile of stones where General Fremont, the Pathfinder, and his party camped. From these stones Fremont reviewed the noble stretch of water lighted by the setting sun, and so aptly named 1t "The Golden Gate" natural spring of water gushes from the rocks Mrs. Fremont has positively identified this spot as the camping ground of her hus- bands party. And now very fittingly it belongs to the Poet of the Sierras. He owns likewise the life-size oil paint ing of Fremont, painted by Jewett in 1852. There was not an inch of canvas in San Francisco at the time, so a French linen tablecioth from one of the steamers was secured. The diamond shaped squares of the pattern show plainly through the paint. The picture

pears that any formal agreement ar rived at by the proposed conference might be great-I may even say ngerous-miStake. It is not logical or rational to look for a sudden trans- formation of improvement in the exist ing status of things from such the oretical arrangement. Of course some decrease of the enormous pressure of taxes in several of the Continental countries may be secured by the gen. eral friendly conference of the great powers; and this, too, might be of value incidentally in the way of a better un- derstanding between all the nations, which would be the prelude of a hap pier era in the domain of international relations.
 As for England, she has her own problems to work out. These she is trying to meet in her own way. Her situation is considerably different from that of any of the Continental powers, and would scarcely-be improved by any agreement into which she could enter with them.
 Now, touching the Anglo-American alliance in this connection, that is a difficult question to answer, because in the usual understanding of the phrase, such an alliance presupposes a union entered into in view of wars or other dangers. which may menace one or both parties. This sort Of an alli- ance I do not believe to be at all prob

| We walked up the shaded avenue which skirted the hill to the level spot where the monument stands.
 T call this way the Bishops Path, " explained the poet. After Bishop Taylor of Africa, who pronounced a benediction here. After I bought this place the very first thing I did was to select the spot for this monument Then I sent for mother. She does not like the idea of cremation so close beside the monument she has picked out as the spot for her grave. Hush! These cedar trees are the sentinels that guard the way to the pyre. Walk slowly and solemnly.'
 I fell into his measured, funereal pace without a word. In absolute silence we reached the monument Three steps lead up to it. Near by is a small powder on which, dead black against the ash-colored stone, stand out the words:
 ''To the Great Unknown"
 The stones of the monument are sQuare-cut and neatly cemented to- gether. Standing on the highest step I looked down into the crater-like top of the monument, where will be piled the wood to reduce the soulless frames to ashes.
 And you wish to be cremated here?" I asked.
