DISCUSSING PEACE
A Subject That is Interesting the
People Of Europe.
VIEWS OF MANY PROMINENT MEN
London's Noble Record for Gen.
erous Gifts to Charity.
GOSSIP OF THE METROPOLIS

| Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
| LONDON, January 4, 1899
| The Morning Post has just made an eX-
pertinent on the American method. It's
correspondents at the various continental
| capitals were requested to interrogate
! number of foreign celebrities as to their
| supreme wish for the New Year in regard
| to the general politics of the world and
| some of the replies resulting from the ref
! erendum make interesting human docu-
ments. Many of the messages are long
and others have little to say but ALL
whether hopefully or despairingly, with
| cynical unbelief or simple ardor, desire
peace for the present year
Peace being the keynote it is the various
ways by which that bourne is to be reached
that must constitute the chief interest of
the collection. La Paix a outrancer' says
NJ, Draner, the Well-known political carl
caturist, while NJ. Nestor de There, the
Belgian dramatst, wishes to see the price
of a battleship devoted to the erection of
an international palace of justice" PAX
vobscum," simply exclams a third; and a
few more seem to think that Il lovely peace
might be quietly and directly attained.
The prevailing sentiment, however, appears
to be that first of all there must be some
rather hot work There are people in
places which they should not occupy, and
restitution in respect of various wrong
full acquisitions is deemed an essential pre-
liminary.
This last is gentle way of telling Eng
land that she must hand over Il few of her
grabbed territories before she can effect
peace with France. In fact, it is not easy
to see how peace can be established without
a few wars and two three frst-class
revolutions The all-pervading influence of
Dreyfus Is perhaps the most remarkable
feature of all.

The indications are that work on

it is an expensive thing just to get in

enormous proportions, and it's ulti

The PHILIPPINE war is about in it's
last stages. Gen. Macarthur, in charge
of the American forces, at last &C:
counts was in 3 or 4 miles of Malolos,
headquarters of the insurgents. So
far in forty days fighting the Ameri-
cans have lost about IT'S men killed
and $50 wounded-say one man kill
ed for each 200, and one man wound
ed for each 40, out of the entire army
of 80, 900 Americans on the island
a remarkably small per cent, consid-
ering that the natives lost thousands.

Look Out for the scoundrel.

DIR. e. p. Halstead, veterinary
surgeon, lately operating at Alexan-
dria, Boyce and Colfax, but now hold
ing forth at New Iberia, La, is one
of those cheeky rascals that seeks to
thrive at the expense of the newspa-
pers. We did about IS worth of adj
vertising for Haistead, from which
he reaped fully 500 benefit in a few
hours. After persistent dunning We
squeezed 81 so out of him, and elici-
ted the response that.we had address
ed him an insulting letter" because,
forsooth, we politely but positively
insisted that he must pay our bill.
Confound his egotistical insolence
and thievish knavery, We propose to
throw in this personal notice" as
additional free advertising, in order
to put our brethren of the State press
on their guard against him, and warn
them to collect their bills from him in
advance. In a letter from Mr.. w. II.
Latham, of the st. Mary Banner, an
other of his victims, we have the opin-
ion expressed that Halstead is ga
newspaper dead beat" and that the
fraternity should be advised OF his
methods. Hence this complimentary
notice of the "horse doctor"

Port Arthur Canal Opened.

The formal opening Of the Port Ar
thur Ship Canal took place on last

ley, of Kansas, practically all the

sas Legislature, delegation of for
eign capitalists and several train

JAPAN ON EQUAL FOOTING
Recognized by the Powers as
One Of Themselves. @
EW TREATIES 90 INTO EFFECT
Diplomatic Methods in Vogue for Fifty
Years Give Place to Modern
Forms of Procedure. .

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A new treaty
between the United States and Japan
went into effect today and at the same
time new treaties between Japan and
nearly all of the countries of Europe
and some of the South American repub-
lies also went into effect It is an
event of far-reaching Importance in the
relations between Japan and the United
States, as it does away with the treaty
methods which have been in vogue for
nearly so years and substitutes an en-
tirely new method of procedure. The
same is true in the relations of Japan
with other countries.
Taken as whole the new treaties
place Japan on an entirely new footing
with the world at large, as she is recog-
nized for the first time as an equal in
every respect. The treaty with this
country was made Nov. %, 1894, in
Washington, between Secretary Ores
ham and Minister Kureno, who then
represented Japan here. The changes
it made were 50 far reaching that it
was determined that the treaty should
not go into operation until July II,
