LONDON, July 26.-The hague cor
respondent of the Times" reports a
long conversation with Andrew w.
White, United States ambassador at
Berlin, and head of the American deie-
CATION in which the ambassador, after
referring to the earnest desire of the
American people for a comprehensive
arbitration scheme, as proved by. the
constant petitions and resolutions of
large meetings held in all parts Of
America since the conference has been
sitting, said:
Il believe a vast majority of our peo-
pie will welcome our arbitration treaty,
and see in it a serviceable plan from
the outset and a germ from which a
more complete system will be evolved
by future conferences. AS time prog
resses without doubt conferences to the
tribunal will become increasingly nat
ural and normal, and thus we may hope
to have every advantage claimed for
obligatory arbitration without it's over
whelming disadvantages. But it could
hardly be expected that we should be
willing to accept the requirement to
sweep away at once here and now the
policy of Monroeism.
that policy it must be made by the
United States after it has had the full
est opportunity to study the subject
in all its bearings. Such a change can
not be made here by implications in a
treaty made distinctly for another pur-
pose, and it is important that there
should be no doubt on this point
Mr.. White then referred to the deep,
almost religious conviction in the hearts
of the American people against any
foreign ENHANCEMENT" He added,
however, that the declaration of Mon
roeism would leave the United States
policy exactly what it had been here
tofore and would not in the slightest
degree hamper the operation of the
arbitration plan. On the contrary, the
United States would fully and faith
fully cooperate in the judicial settle
ment of international difficulties by
means of the agency and machinery
provided in the convention.
THE past history of the United
States abundantly shows declared Mr.
White, that they had not manifested
the slightest desire to interfere with OF
hamper arbitration proceedings"
The ambassador then mentioned
numerous cases of arbitration arising
under four classes, which might be re-
garded as involved in the Monroeism
declarations:
First-Between the United States and
European powers.
Second-Between the United States
and another American power
Third-Between two American pow
ers, neither being the United States.
Fourth-Between an American power
other than the United States and a
foreign power.
In every instance" said Mr.. White,
"the United States has regarded these
arbitrations as promoting peace, and,
therefore, there is nothing in our his
tory to warrant the idea that our at.
titude would be hostile to any settle
ment possible under this convention"

pension Of operations for nearly thirty
five years. The gigantic mature Of the
undertaking makes the news of the
first Importance, and promises to have
great influence on the mineral develop
ment of California
The Mariposa grant, as it is often
called, is located in Mariposa County
and covers an area of 44,3S7 acres, or
about seventy square miles, being
strip of land fifteen miles in length
and Of an average width of five miles.
The principal developments in this
great territory are the Princeton, Jo-
sephine and Pine Tree mines. In addi-
tion there are also the Elizabeth Green
Gulch, Mariposa, Mount Ophir and
Mexican, but although the tract is in
tersected by a network Of veins they
are scarcely more than prospects.
From about 1858 to- 1865 the prop
erty was extensively worked, the
Princeton mine yielding S3,OO0,OOO
down to the 50O-foot level. Since then
operations have been conducted in a
tentative fashion, mostly i'll the way Of
tunnels. They did not give the results
Immediately hoped for, and on that
account the estate has been allowed to
rest virtually idle.
According to present plans, one or
two dams will be constructed, and the
tunnels in the Josephine, Pine Tree
and Princeton mines will be extended
on the ore chutes as a starter. Then,
or perhaps simultaneously Herewith,
prospecting will be carried on over the
extensive domain. The work will be
of great magnitude, and if expectations
be realized an immense gold mining
exploitation will be carried on at no
inconsiderable outlay, furnishing work
to a large force of men and necessi-
tating the purchase of extensive ma
chinery.

Executive Committee Hold an I'm
portant Meeting.


PACIFIC GROVE, July 26.-An i'm
portant Executive Committee meeting
marked the beginning Of to-day,s
work of the w. c. T. q. Summer School
Of Methods, during which much BUSH
ness connected with the management of
temperance work IN California was ac-
complished. f -
In one of the reports read the fact
was brought out that the increase in
membership in the various local unions
of the State during the past few
months is greater than ever before
in the same space of time in the history
of the work on this coast. This is ac-
counted for in two ways, first, the in
creased interest being shown every
where in temperance work in all its
branches, and second, the contest for
large delegations to the coming Ma
tional w. C. T. U. Convention that is
being carried on in all the States.
The first regular session of. the day
was held This afternoon, Mrs. Sturte-
want Peet presiding. The first subject
under discussion was the Pacific En-
sign" tile tenn oerance organ OF the Pa
cific Coast.
Mrs. Alice Bradley, business manager.
gave a financial statement regarding
the paper, and Mrs. M. c. Lord, the
editor, spoke of the policy and work
OF the paper.
Mothers Meeting" by Mrs. Ida M.
Jameson; 1.-THE Church for Temper
ance," by Mrs. +. P: Williams; Shall
We Possess the Land?" by Mrs. D. j.
Spencer, were the three notable papers
of the afternoon, but the chief event
of the session was an address by Mrs.
Mary R. Phillips, President of the w.
c. T. U. in India.
The evening session opened with a
devotional service conducted by Mrs. A.
g. Cove. Mrs. E. Morinel Law, Ma
tiona1 Organizer for the National W
C. T. T., delivered the address Of the
evening, here theme being s'Personal
Liberty and the. Remedy for Hard
Times The chief point emphasized
by the speaker was that instead of be-
ing opposed to the American princlple
which denies all entitled to "lifesliberty
and the pursuit of happiness, . the tenn
perance movement is designed ito main-
tain that principle and give sEfe!D!ib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness to
those who do not have them.

The Southern Pacific Company.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26-The
Southern Pacific directors will meet to-
morrow to vote upon the proposition Of
increasing the company's capital stock
from $3.50, 100000 to $200,GOO,O00. The
vote will probably be in the affirma-
tive, because this increase is part cf
the scheme for the financial reorgani-
zation of the Central Pacific and its
consolidation with the Southern Pa
cific. The Centra1's directors have
voted for the consolidation and ap-
proved of the SIPS, ,00O,O of new mort
cages for the Central. These mortgage
bonds have all been pledged by the
Speyer Banking Company, and are to
be delivered to the purchasers, mCst
of whom are in Europe, as soon as the
securities are engraved and properly
signed in New York.

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, is
an expansionist; not only that, but he
is about to begin a crusade to spread
over the south what may be termed
the new gospel of get there. He de-
clares that expansion will be the sal
vation Of cotton, and in prophetic
vision sees Manila under "Old
Glory" the great cotton market of
the world instead of Liverpool, and
instead of paving tribute to British
brokers, ship owners and spinners,
Americans, in an American city, in
the Pacific isles, will handle two
thirds of the worlds cotton with a
saving Of billions to the cotton pro-
ducers of this country. Manila, he
says, offers the key of escape from
commercial thralldom to Liverpool,
which was built on American cotton
at the expense of American spinners'
This is all out of joint with Demo-
cratic convention, press and platform
