Kansas City. May 16-The annual meet
ing of the National Reform Press asso-
citation and the national reorganization
committee of the peoples party convened
here to-day. Frank Burkitt Of Mississippi
presided over the proceedings. Burkitt in
his address said:
''To the mistaken policy which led to
disastrous results in the campaign of 1896
we may trace the cause of all contention
and want of harmony which has existed
in the reform ranks since that unfortun-
ate hour when the majority of our repre-
sentatives consented to go outside of the
party to find a candidate for president.
Surely no one, democrat or republican at
heart. will contend that the campaign of
1896 should be duplicated"
President Burkitt, in referring to trusts
and expansion said:
"Populism, while refusing to lower the
flag in the presence of any enemy on
earth. would strike from the limbs of the
American workingmen the shackles of in
dustrial slavery before they engage in
the emancipation of mongrel race of
strange and foreign lands
After a brief address by Ignatius Dom
nelly and the appointment Of committees
a recess was taken.
MT. bOnIelly advised the pOpulIStS
against fusion and excoriated William j.
Bryan and the democratic party for what
he termed treachery. The burden of his
speech was a plea to the populists to keep
in the middle of the road and thus acquire
success over "the lettering and corrupt
democracy" Mr.. Donnelly's remarks were
heartily applauded, and it was plain that
his auditors were in sympathy with him.
At the afternoon session the following
officers were elected: President, Frank
Burkitt. Okolona. Miss; vice president, F.
W. D. Mays. Pomeroy Wash: secretary
and treasurer. Paul j. Dixon, Chillicothe,
Mo-; corresponding secretary, w. J. Hen
nlng. Augusta Ga: executive committee,
Abe Steinberger, Giard, Kan; N. B. Ort-
singer, Shoals, Ind; Frank Barker, Penn
sylvania: Bodenhemer, Georgia; p ]
Dixon, Chillicothe. Mo.
Early in the afternoon a recess was
taken to await the report of the national
organization committee of the peoples
party, which committee was in executive
session most of the afternoon. Their re-
pert was presented to the editors at the
night session of the press association. The
report, which was in the form of an adj
dress to the people, did not meet with
the approval of the editors. and after a
spirited debate it was referred to the or
ganization committee, who will modify
the address and again submit it to the
press association at to-morrow's session
A public meeting in Lyceum hall to-
night was addressed by Ignatius Donnelly

INTERNATIONAL DIFFERENCES.
Ireland's Views Concerning Proposed
Peace Agreement

New York. May ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris quotes
Archbishop Ireland as saying:
IAN civilized nations favor the underly
ing principles Of The Hague conference.
All intelligent men recognize that inter-
national differences should be settled upon
an intellectual basis, whenever possible.
While I cannot anticipate the work of the
delegates and while it would i'll become
me to offer suggestions to such distin-
guished intellectual body, 1 am free to
say that there is no other work so well
calculated to bring happiness to all ma
tiCns as that with which they are con-
fronted. The piling up of huge armies
is the bane of Europe. Most countries
have reached the straining point in this
respect, and unless remedy be applied
speedily, irretrievable ruin stares them in
the face. Civilization and Christianity
are concurrent forces which could and
should be made to stop the spectacle of
nations arming themselves to the teeth
for the purpose of destroying one another
Mind, / am not an advocate of peace at

unavoidable. Occasions may even rise

holy as any of the wars of the crusades.

Responsibility Said to Be Fixed.

London, May 1.-THE correspondent here
of the associated press learns on undenia-
BILE authority that the chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir Michael HicKs-Beach, is re-
sponsible for the niggardly financial sup
port offered blythe imperial government to
the Pacific cable project, but the high
commissioner of Canada, Baron Strath
coma, and the other interested agents gen.
orally are apparently satisfied from the
developments of the last few days that
the secretary OF state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, who is prepared to
do far more toward fostering the scheme
than some of his colleagues, will ulti-
mately prevail on the home government
to contribute a considerable portion of
the capital required for expenditure in
establishing the projected cable.

Helena, May 16.-State Treasurer
Collins has received a letter from a
woman living at WATERFOWL, N. D.,
to the effect that since no one appears
to claim the $4,000 that the bribery
investigating committee Of the legisla-
ture turned over to him, she has a
method of disposing of it that strikes
her as fair. She proposes that the
money be divided among several peo-
pie she names as being entitled to
something from the state of Montana.
One is an old maid living in North
Dakota, whose father came to Mon
tana in the early days and died here,
leaving her in hard circumstances. An
other party she believes worthy of the
states bounty is woman resident of
a Connecticut town. and whose hus-
band ran away with another woman
and is now living in Montana; another
is a resident of an Eastern state who
loaned money in this state and never
got anything back. The names and
residences of all the parties are given.
The letter will be filed away pending
the receipt of more substantial claims
for the money.

Frightful Massacre.

I Vancouver, B. c., May 16.--Formosa
advices give details of a terrible mas
sacre in the vicinity of Taiko. a town
dn the central district Thirty unarm-
ed villages were ambuscaded by about
60 savages, who killed 20 of them. Only
one escaped. The cause of the massa-
ere is said to have been a dispute be-
tween savage tribes over the paternity
of an illagitiRlate child and the death
of it's mother. The reputed father of
the child denied the charge and re-
fused to make compensation to the
tribe to which the girl belonged. An
appeal to head hunting was the only
way by which the injured tribe could
prove it's righteousness to its ances-
tors. After the massacre the savages
INDUCED in a feast at which the heads
of the murdered villagers were con-
spicuously displayed.

While great interest attaches to the
decision, there is even more as to it's
