afternoon declared that Mr.. Truesdale knew moth
ing about any proposition for arbitration, adding:
IF the men have any grievances they certainly
have not made them known to us:
Although all concerned are decidedly reticent on
the subject II Is felt In Wall Street that there is
a strong undercurrent of uneasness over the sitla-
ton among the employees OF the road, II not among
the officials Much Is thought TO depend upon the
attitude OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive ;ngi-
ne5rs in the men should ask for an arbitra-

AMERICANS AND sPANIARDs NEIGHBORs
BY a singular coincidence for which the pro-
pretors OF the Vieux Doelen are responsible the
Americans and the Spanards Will be close
neighbors at the Congress The Duke de
Tetuan and of his colleagues have engaged
rooms directly behind the drawing room and
rccepton-room Of the American delegation. The
two delegations representing countries which
have recently been bombard!ng each other. will
be separated by thin partition wall when they
are deep in the diplomacy of the Congress
Practically under the same roof will be the
delegations Of the United States, Spain, Russia,
Sweden and Norway, Portugal. Rumania, Bul-
garia, Slam and Persia. Baron de Staal will
be at the Vieux Doelen. and he will be the
chief figure of the Congress- and when the time
comes for preparing series OF academic reso-
lutions which the delegates from twenty six
countries can unite he may find in the American
section the keen practical sesse and fiexiblity or
mind requisite for winding up the deliberations
The diplomatic cynics do not believe that TINS
Peace Congress will lead to any practical result.
For reasons which l shall give in detail in an
other letter, am inclined to take more hope
full view. Mr.. Stanford Newell. who has rem
dered capable and brilliant service at The
Hague for the American Government. confirms
my impression when he tells me that he mas
