BURGLARY LAST NIGHT.

Solomon, native. was arrested
last night on the charge of bur-
glary. The story is that he made
up a plan, together with a girl
friend, to rob the house of another
native. He would go upstairs,
smash 10 the door, and ransack
the rooms. The girl was to stand
at the bottom of the stairs and
whistle in case anyone should ap-
pear. TIE girl forgot to whistle,
people got upstairs, and the man
was caught in the act OF ransack-
ing the place. The door bad been
smashed in, and the house dis
ordered.
The case came up in the Police
Court this forenoon, but went over
until tomorrow. The case is one
for committsl.

ZEGRO ROBBERS.

An afternoon paper yesterday
referred to the robbery of an en-
ploye of the Interior Department
the other night. 1t turns out that
Tom Cumming Of the Road De.
psrtment was the victim. He was
stood up by three burly negro sol
diers from the City of Para at the
corner Of Punchbowl and Bere-
tania streets. One asked him for
$3.50, and the other two, hearing
the jingle Of more money told Tom
to "shell out" the rest, which he did
very quickly, seeing the attitude
of the soldier bighwaymen. The
amount was $l7. 80. Tom did what
most any other man would have
done under the circumstance
Three to one and no gun makes
resistance a question not to be
dwelt upon for moment. Tom
says he was really glad to give the
men the money.

course to arbitration wherever possible"
This circua ar tends still further to COM
plicate the question: because it changes the
accepted nature of the cars first PROPOSE
ton. The powers were invited to consider
the advisablity of disarmament. They are
now invited to consider matters relating
to make warfare less destructive of life
and property. The nations, in future, when
war becomes inevitable, are to engage in
it with the understanding that they to
inflict just little damage possible on
each other Proclamations, as far posi-
BILE, are to take the place of heavy artillery,
and rose water is to be an item of the COM
missaryS invoice.
AS men have advanced in civilization the
methods of warfare have without any con-
ference reflected that advance And changes
for the future may very well be left to the
operations of that general law. But as
long as the spirit of fight and contention
continues to possess men war must and
will mean destruction. General Shermau's
definition will hold good for all time; and
it Is fairly within the claim of the friends
of peace if a frank recognition of the fact
that war is hell" and hell of a grim and
an undiluted quality, is not greater factor
for peace than all the sentimental propos-
ais in the world

other faction of the people of this country

senator Gray's sound Position.

Senator Gray's speech at the Whining
ton board Of trade banquet Saturday night
was in effect a strong appeal for the
prompt ratification of the treaty of peace.
As a member OF the peace commission as
a member. too, of the party politically OPP
posed TO the President, he spoke with pc
culiar force. especially in view of the at
titude which he assumed Analyzing the
possibilities with regard to the Philippine
Islands, Senator Gray showed that there
was virtually no other course open to the
United States under the circumstances than
the acceptance of present responsibility for
their good government. He pointed out
that the ratification of the treaty and the
acceptance Of present sovereignty in the
archipelago does not involve permanent
ownership, and he paid high tribute TO
the ability of the people through their rep
resentatlves, to adjust the problem for the
best interests of not only this country but
Of the hberty-Ioving people of the world.
One Of the most significant features of
Senator Gray's speech was his praise of

The French Shirt of CHANCE

The freedom with which the suggestion
of an impending coup d'etat in France is
banded about, both in Paris and in the in
ternational dispatches, without causing any
great stir anywhere, reflects the whole
course OF French history. Change has be-
come the dominating factor in the national
life Permanence is apart from the coun-
try's political institutions. The stroke of
state, the revolution and the dissolution of
ministries have become familiar elements,
and the discussion of their imminence
causes comparatively little excitement. The
republic may fall and be succeeded by
monarchy or an empire or a commune, and
the Paris populace. so potent in shaping the
destinies of all France, will continue to
shout for or against the unfortunate Jew
ish officer imprisoned on Devils Island or
his accusers and defenders. This spirit is
altogether incomprehensible to the average
American, to whom the traditions of gov
eminent are far more sacred than any fac
tional issues could ever become
