PEACE CONGRESS DELEGATES
President Has the Selection of Amer-

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Tho president

which is to be held at The Hague, beginning
May IS next Since the congress is to meet
at The Hague, 1t is expected that the Meth
erlands government will issue invitations to
tho various powers, offering the official
courtesies of the capital. Until then the
names of the delegates may not be an
nounced
There has been little discussion in official
quarters of individual names. The selection
Of Sir Julian Pauncefote as one of the dele
gates-largely because OF his service in ne
gotiating the Olney- Pauncefote treaty--has
led to the mention of Mr.. Olney's name as a
possible American delegate. Another men
toned is that of John Bassett Moore, assist
ant secretary of state under Judge Day. and
one of the moving figures in the recent peace
negotiations with Spain. Mr.. Moore's name
comes up through his literary contributions
to the subject of disarmament. He has re-

the government which is said to be he most
exhaustive treatment of the subject ever at
tempted The understanding also is that it
would be agreeable to the friends of Arch
bishop Ireland If that eminent Catholic pre-
late were appointed. AT nrSt 1t was thought
that Ambassador Charlemagne Tower might
be designated to go from st. Petersburg to
attend the congress, but this may be given
up as appearing rather a perfunctory recog-
milton of the cars invitation.
The British delegates have not been an
nounced, but Sir Julian Pauncefote will be
one of them, and the other may be of even
higher rank than ambassador. In case the
continental powers select their foremost men
Great Britain, it is understood, will likewise
select from those who have been ministers
of foreign affairs and heads of cabinets. In
that event it is surmised in unofficial but
trustworthy quarters that Sir Julan's asso-
ciate at the congress might be Lord Rose
berry, who headed the liberal ministry when
Gladstone put aside the leadership

Going out to see man" was the inven-
tion of Artemus Ward. One night in the
winter of 1865. relates the Louisville
Courier-Journa. when the humorist was
about half through his lecture. he paralyzed
his audience with the announcement that
they would have to take recess of fifteen
minutes so as to enable him to go across the
street to 'see n man" II. r. Tracey the
editor of the Washington Republican, was
in the audience, and seeing an opportunity
to improve upon the joke, pencied these
lines and sent them to the platform:
Dear Artemus: If you will place yourself
under my guidance I'll take YOU to see
man without crossing the street"
Artemus accepted the invitation. and while
the great audience impatiently but with
much amusement awaited the temperance
or the humorist, the latter was making the
acquaintance of Aman, well known restau-
rant keeper at that time and luxurlating at
a well-laden refreshment board OF course
everybody caught on to" the phrase, and
men became fond of getting UP between the
acts and going out to see Aman." The

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The census

extraordinarily large number of applications
for places that have been filled and to the
fact that for some time to come but a small

conservative estimate, $500 formal ap-
plications for office under the census, while
with the letters and preliminary inquiries
that have come in the applications in sight
may be figured at about 10000. Until prep
arations can be made for the examination

SOCIALISTS INDULGE IN FIsTICrFFs.
Texans Tactics Enacted on Floor of
Belgium Parliament.

BRUSSELS, March 3O.-There were some
exciting scenes in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties in connection with the discussion OF
the recent expulsion from Belgium of
former priest named Charbonnel. a native
of France, whose lectures socialism the
authorities considered Objectionable.
The socialist members interpellated the
government and the rightist deputies at
tempted to closure the debate. This led to
violent socialist protests, during which the
speakers attacked the king and government
generally, leading to much uproar. Even
tually the president of the chamber declared
the sitting closed and the socialists and left
lists in a body rushed toward the rightists,
fourishing their fists.
Though actual fighting was avoided the
uproar was deafening. The most abusive
epthets were shouted and the chairman or
dered the galleries to be cleared. There
upon the spectators appealed to the social
lists who told them to remain. This caused
some of the spectators to resist the ushers
and soldiers had to be summoned to clear
the galleries, resulting in a series of eX-
citing conflicts.
Meanwhile the deputies on the floor con-
tinued to Yituperate, but the house was
eventually cleared and the sitting was sus-
pended for an hour. during which NJ. Be
thune, a member of the right, and NJ. Jour
nez socialist, exchanged challenges to fight
a duel.

fGl lasting for ten continuous hours.
At Valparaiso, Ind, the snow was three
inches deep and street car traffic greatly i'm
peded. At South Bend, Elkhart and other
cities in the northern part OF Indiana the
storm was so heavy as to cause the aban-
donment Of the electric street car lines be-
tween the towns.
In Peoria, H., and Galesburg, street car
traffic was stopped at noon and the storm
continued all day, some of the drifts being
five feet high. The general estimate of the

ing to the applicant, were living in an
expensive house in the west end of London,
refused to take the child and told the nurse
to send it to a foundlng hospital or do
what she liked with it. The applicant, how
ever, was not willing to make the child a
pauper and kept it. But now, she (the
nurse) was in such straitened circum-
stances that she was unable to keep it any
longer.

baby was a year old the family went to
