The War Correspondent.

Ell Trafico of GuaYmas is disposed to
treat the enterprise of American news
papers in sending correspondents to
the Yaqui trouble with derision. In a
rare bit of latin wit, the editor on the
first page has this to say of a man
whom we know to be as full of courage
and as good a shot as Lou Friend or
any other man who ever looked over a
gun barrel:
"A reporter of some Los Angeles
paper hit the trail leading in the direc-
ton of the Yaqui river with the inten-
ton of sending back kilograms from
the theatre of war. He got as far as
Cruz de Piedra (ten leagues away and
no further. "Oh, 1 have a bad sun
stroke; my stomach is sick and my
head is bad. l think I may die I
don't care for the Yaquis; Guaymas is
good enough for me-" The editor
makes the correspondent say.
The editor of Ell Trafico may become
better acquainted with the city editor
of the Los Angeles Times.

Johnsons Win at Last.

Julian Johnson, and his son Carlos,
are on the eve of realizing the dreams
of their lives. They are about to make
a contract of sale of their San Mar
cial coal claims to a syndicate of Phila-
delphia people represented by E. V. B.
Hoes. Mr.. Hoes passed through No.
gales yesterday en- route to San Mar
cial and in the interval of his stay in
Nogales he said his company his pract-
ically decided to close the deal with
thomson. The price is matter that
Mr.. Hoes avoided; but in view of infor-
nation from other sources tits fair to
say that 81, 500, 900 will approximate the
extent of the deal.
If the Johnsons accept Mr.. Hose s
proposition, railroad from Ortiz to San
Marcial is assured and that means new
era for the Bonancita-Soyopac county

encouraging.
With reference to the extension Of the

that nothing directly in line with the
cars proposal would be realized, and
events have fully sustained this predic-
ton. The idea of any general disarma-
ment seems to have been completely
abandoned, if it was ever sincerely en-
tertained, and the conference is wrest-
ling with the question of arbitration, as
if that were the primary object of its
meeting Even on this score it is doubt
full if very much will be directly ac-
complished, although the moral effect
may be beneficial.
The Russian proposal is, in brief, that
all questions at issue shall be submit
ted to arbitration, but that, in matters
of vital import or affecting the honor
of country, arbitration shall not be
compulsory. This, if accepted, as it
probably viii be, deprives the scheme
of nearly all of its substantial value.
The trend of public sentiment in all
civilized countries Is away from war
with it's destruction of life and prop
erty. At this day very few countries
will engage in war with another of any
considerable strength over a mere
claim for money damages growing out
of some unintentional wrong or tres
pass. Nor over boundary line which
is uncertain and of no great value.
But, even in cases of money de-
mands and remote boundary lines, it is
not difficult in many cases to drag in
the question of national honor" or to
make it appear that a pending conten-
ton involves extraneous matters of
vital import" 1t is quite impossible
specifically to classify in advance the
questions in which arbitration is to be
compulsory, and each country will al
ways claim the right of deciding for it
self what is vital and when it's honor
is involved. 1t Is noteworthy that
the objection to making arbitration
compulsory comes from the very nation
at whose instance the conference was
called; it also shows the absurdity of
assuming that the world is ripe for any
general scheme of disarmament.
If a country declines to accept arbi-
tration upon the ground that the mat
ter is too important and affects the ma
tional honor, the next step will be to
fight. If such country should happen
to be Russia, we can rest assured that
the czar will be there with a million or
two of men and all the battleships he
can muster. We have not yet reached
the millennium: man is still a fighting
animal and he will be for many years
after the conference at The Hague ad
journs. He will settle trivial matters
by arbitration just as he has been do
ing of late, but he will fight over any
thing that he thinks of sufficient inn
portance to Justify it.

just about half of that amount. The
proposition in which 1T is intended tt
enlist the alumni at this months com.
mencement is to add at least three mil
lions to Yale's endowment. Years ago
| the state of New York endowed Cornell
university with that states western
timber lands. Cornell now has about
| s6,450,000 in invested funds. Girard col
| lege is said to have s15,050000 in an en-
| dowment fund; Columbias endowment
is nearly ten millions.
| For Montana, the endowment figures
are comparatively modest-with us the
| educational establishment is young and
| its resources are limited. The work of
| higher education goes bravely forward,
| however, in Montana. The states
| schools of higher grade are pushing
| manfully forward, doing good work-by
| the testimony of those who are keeping
| track of it in an official way-laying
good foundations and living in hope of
| better things to come.
In time, the Montana schools Of col
legiate grade will be in possession of
valuable endowments as the result of
funds realized from the share in the
public land that is their dowry. Our
memory is that the agricultural college
at Bozeman, as it was originally styled,
has the right to 200 acres and the
state university at Missoula to nearly
$4,000 acres; these were provided for I'M
der the enabling act, by the terms Of
which, in 1889, Montana was vested
with statehood.
This morning, the Standard sets apart
several columns of space in which the
years work at the Montana institutions
is summed up. These summaries tell
of a years trials and, as we'll, of the
twelvemonths successes. In some in
stances, the special services incident to
the commencement season are already
finished in whole or in part, while in
others, the annual programme is still
| to be reached.

sideration the proposition Of wealthy

condition being, as We remember, that

money. for a starter AS we under

town that is prepared to comply with

HEN II came TO the stflns Oh
" resolutions finally adopted by
the delegates in the Trans
Mississippi congress, there were pro-
nouncements on several questions
which are in no sense vital in their
character there were declarations
which we believe to be opposed to the
best judgment of the great majority of
the citizens of the Northwest; there
were recommendations concerning mat
ters that are not essentials; there was
dead silence in regard to the silver is
sue and the currency questionable two
matters that are of chiefest account to
the people in the, great belt of mining
states.
The delegates at Wichita had time to
discuss the proposition that the cabinet
of the president of the United States be
increased by the addition of a secretary
of mining. 1t transpred that other
delegates were equally interested in
getting commerce into the cabinet
Then there were others who felt Ger
tain that industry ought to have cabi-
net portfolio. These all We're accom-
modated in the resolutions.
Certain it is that mining can get no
benefit out of cabinet honors. The
scheme itself is a humbug. A mining
bureau, made a part of a department
of industries in general, might be worth
while, although the value of it is doubt
full. European cabinets, in several in
stances, include a minister of mines;
as a rule, in these states the mines are
the property of the government. The
argument that gives mining a cabinet
place would hold good about branches
of industry to a grand total that would
equip the presidents cabinet with at
least thirty members. And if mining
were to get into the cabinet, We should
see some Rhode Island grocer or some
Louisiana planter, having a political
pull, put at the head of the country's
department of mines. The precedents
prove that.
AS for the arid-land questionable
Standard may be mistaken, but we ven
ture to say that not a considerable
minority of the people of Montana are
In sympathy with the scheme for deal

Of those who manipulated the congress
evidently was, for political purpose, to
steer the delegates clear of the silver
question. The congress was equipped
with officers some of whom for long
time have been in the hire of the gold
standard organizations. What of a con-
gress, pretending to speak for the
Northwest, that adopts ''rousing reso-
buttons" about celebrating theLouisiana
purchase, the opening of Indian reser-
vations, the establishment of national
academy for "the training of consular
officers the payment of subsidies to
American ships-what Of such a con-
gress, that writes resolutions on these
topics but keeps its mouth sealed in re-
gard to free coinage?
