A SIN BLAZE

fire was sounded from the b., A. & p.
passenger depot which brought the fire
department there on double quick time
against a terrific wind which was blow
ing at the time. Some paper scraps which
had fell into the hot air pipes had become
ignited which caused a blaze. 1t was
eXtinguished without damage. On the
way to the fire Pat Gardner, a pipeman,
was thrown and blown off the wagon by
the wind as it ounde a corner. He was
picked up by another wagon and deliver
ed at the fire on time. The firemen say
it was the worst wind they ever saw or
faced in Anaconda.

S IN THE

During the early hours of the morn
ing, when the blizzard was at it's zenith,
two newsboys, selling the morning papers
on the streets, became lost in the blind
ing snow in the center of the city. The
snow was flying SO badly that a person
could not see 10 feet away. The boys,
who We're not over 1G years of age, lost
their way and got into the grounds of the
old Hearst library. Being unable to find
their way out, they used their lungs to
good advantage and began to yell until
the natives in that part of the town sus-
pected murder. A man went to their as
%sistance and piloted them down to Park
avenue,

TO DO AWAY WITH WAR.
This Country and Great britain
stand TOgether for Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The United
States and Great Britain will stand to-
gether in the advocacy of the adoption or
a scheme for the settlement of interna-
tional disputes by arbitration which will
be presented 10 the disarmament confer
ence. at its meeting i'm the Hague on the
18th of the present month.
The Amer delegates. headed by AM
bassador White, are equipped with fair-
ly-well digested plan for the execution or
this long-cherished project. while the Bri-
fish delegates are prepared with plan
which is almost identical with the Ameri-
can project
The details cannot be procured for pub
lication in advance OF the presentation or
the projects To the conference. 1t Is
known however, that there are essential
differences between this last plan and
that embodied in the treaty drafted by
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, which failed OF action in the Senate,
when submitted for ratification.
NO CHANGE OF PRINCIPLE.
The differences are rather in the me-
thods provided for securing an impartial
adjudication than in the principles of the
former convention, and 1t is believed that
on these points the British and American
propositions are not precisely similar.
other points upon which the delegates
have been instructed are correctly reler-
red TO I'm the cable dispatches this morn
ing-namely. the exemption from seizure
Of individual property and the extensions
of the Red-Cross rules to warlike opera
tons at sea.
But another point in the instructions,
which is not mentioned in the cable dis
patches. is that relating 10 the ameliora-
ton OF the horrors Of war, and with this,
too. the American delegates are deeply
concerned.
THE PRESIDENTS CONCERN.
II was because Of the Presidents inter-
est i'm this subject that Captain Mahan
and Captain Crozier were included In the
American delegation, and the great
changes in modern weapons Of war which
have all followed the last attempt OF an
international conference TO treat on this
subject have given the State Department
encouragement to hope that something In
this direction can be accomplished at the
approaching conference.

Senator Fairbanks, who came to see
the Secretary. and was not aware until
his arrival OF the Presidents presence
here, and Mr.. John New, of indianapolis.
A few minutes were given to Secretary
Cortelyou and Stenographer Barnes, and
later, CARRIED in short. sack coat and
Derby hat, he started for walk with
Secretary Gage and Senator Fairbanks.
As they went along, the Presidents brisk
gait and strong stride jovial disposition,
and upright shoulders gave unimpeachable
denial to statements that his health is
impaired, beyond necessity for brief
respite from the cares of presidential
life
The trio climbed a steep incline and
then started across the weli-kept lawn to
the rolling ground upon which the golf
links are located. As they walked they
passed a bright faced 'caddie," who,
without knowledge OF whom ne was adj
dressing stopped directly before the Pres
ident and said: SAY, mister, can you
gimme de toime?'' The President drew
out his watch and in a cheerful and kind
ly tone replied: Just o'clock, my boy"
