The quarterly dividend statement of
the Fall River mills is the best in
three years, and there is promise that
business in the coming quarter will be
better still. Apparently nothing is the
matter with New England cotton mills
this year. The south will have to wait
awhile for that predicted monopoly of
the cotton milling business.

Evidently the world was no more sur
prised than the delegates at the sudden
impetus given to international arbitra-
ton in The Hague conference. First
there was the French plan, but it had
not been projected in debate before the
British delegate, Sir Julian Pauncefote
came forward with his plan, which is
naturally that of the United States.
Hardly had he presented it when Baron
de Staal, the Russian president of the
conference, pulled from his pocket a
paper embodying about all for which
Sir Julian had contended. Here, then.
were Russia, France and theoretically
Italy, Joined with the United States in
formal propositions for arbitration. 1t
matters not what differences there may
be between the respective programs.
The vital fact is that such propositions
have been made by representatives Of
so many governments. 1t would be a
bold man who would predict a general
agreement upon a practicable plan, but
il is useless to deny that there is real
significance in the situation as it is.

MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
An Iowa state senator Voted as He
Pleased When the Right
Time Came.

A writer in the Des Moines 1a.)
Capital remembers 4 good many wears
ago when the late Ezekiel Clarke was a
member of the state senate from
johnson county. 1t is we'll known that
the senator or member from Johnson
county is always expected to get q
large appropriation for the state uni
versity. To fail would be political
death. Senator Clarke was anxious to
succeed, and during the early part of
the session voted for everything. If
another senator had a bill all he had
to do was to go and whisper in Eze-
kiePs ear and he would vote AYE" One
day, however, Ezekiel came into the
senate with hair cut and clean shave
He sat upright in his seat and began
to slaughter right and left. State SEN
ator George F. Wright looked across
to where the senator from johnson was
sitting and inquired what change had
come over the senator from johnson
county. The other senator replied that
the appropriation bill for the state uni
versity had now passed both houses.
and the senator from Johnson was go
ing to make up for lost time. Clarke
kept on punching heads until the SEN
ator from Jefferson, Moses A. McCoid,
rose and solemnly introduced bill for
an act entitled: "An act repeating the
appropriation for the state university"
"A broad smile passed around the room,
and everybody except the senator from
johnson saw the joke. But the spirit
OF levity passed away from Senator
Clarke, he at once resumed his hum
bile attitude, and the other boys voted
him as usual during the remainder of
the session.

BLESSED OlYMPIA'S GREW.
Pope Sent an Autograph Letter to Ad-

New York. Aug. 30.-A dipsatch to
the journal and Advertiser from Rome
says: His holiness, the pope, is deep
Philippines. He has communicated
his anxiety to the Rev. Father Reamy,
chaplain of the Olympia.
In the plainest possible terms, Leo
expressed a strong desire to see peace
established between the United States
and the natives, and said that he con-
templated the opening of negotiations
with the United States government
with view to regulating the position
of Catholics in the Philippines.
All of this was in the course OF q
special audience accorded to the chap
lain of Dewey's flagship. In heartfelt
terms, he expressed his horror of blood
shed that had occurred and dilated
upon the importance OF making every
endeavor to bring it to an end. He
took it for granted that when peace
was concluded. the United States
would establish a beneficent rule un-
der which the Philippines would quick
ly reach a condition OF happiness and
prosperity.
His holiness asked many questions
about Admiral Dewey, his personality,
his opinions, and inquired sympa-
thetically about the state of his health.
At the conclusion of the interview. he
gave Father Reamy an autograph let
ter for delivery to the admiral and
made the priest the hearer of his hence
diction to the crew of the Olympia.

trolling stock interests in Chloride,
was killed by cowboys near Fairview
in revenge for his murderous assault
upon Miss Nellie Mckinstry. Sprald-
ing without provocation made threat
ening remark to the woman as he was
riding by, both being on horseback,
and followed it up by firing revolver
at her point blank. The shot took
effect in the woman's neck and she fell
from her horse. Cowboys near by
started after Spralding, who emptied
his revolver at them. A fusilade
from Winchesters in the hands of the
pursuers brought Spralding to the
ground with six bullets in his body
and head. He died almost instantly.
