BERLIN, May 6.-Apropos of the
peace conference the Berliner Wisses-
schafeliche correspondent has been try
ing to obtain the views of scientific
men upon the results of the gather
ing. and here are a couple: Professor
Dezern, who is one of the German dele
gates, after remarking guardedly that
owing to his position he would rather
not give any definite answer says,
speaking generally: II regard the con-
ference with hopefulness and think the
discussion which will take place at fu-
ture conferences may pave the way for
getting an understanding among man
kind"
Professor Won Esmarch says Of per-
petual peace: "I hold it as impossible
that a general disarmament of the
powers should be reached. 1t seems to
me unlikely at all events. Germany
should not begin until her neighbors.
also England and the United States
have commenced. Until that time Ger
many must keep up in every point with
other powers, and if possible exceed
them.

T7HE step lately taken by Great
Britain in securing virtual con-
troll of the Tonga Islands has
4 not been entirely unexpected.
Harassed by the Illegal claims
and threatenings Of the Germans the
late King George Lubon I long be-
sought that British sovereignty should
be asserted over his domimons. At the
time OF the annexation Gf the Fiji group
IN 1874 it was proposed to include the
Tonga and Samoan groups with them

but the necessity Of being prepared to

been lost sight of for q moment.

one hundred and fifty islands, of a
total area Of about $40 square miles. lies

POPE'S CONFIDENCE
IN HIS LONGEVITY
An Interesting Anecdote Related by
a South American Church
Dignity

NEW YORK, May "a cable to the
World from Paris says: Stories illustrat-
ing the Pope's confidence in his longevity
are numerous. The latest is given nv
Monsignor Casanova, a South American
church dignitary, as he was passing
through here to Rome. Monsignor Cas-,
anova was in Rome ten years ago and
before leaving paid a farewell visit to the
Pope.
"You seem to be agitated, my son." said
Leo XIII to him.
Holy Father it is because I am won
dering whether l shall ever have the joy
of seeing you again." he replied.
"Why not?" said the Pope ''You are
still young, and 1t is to be hoped will be
able to return to us once again.

THE RAIL ROAD
THROUGH SIBERIA
PRISE-RUSSIA FRIENDLY
TO AMERICA.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Thc newly ap-
pointed secretary of the interior, Ethan
Allen Hitchcock, who has just arrived in
this city from Russia says in regard to
the Siberian railway:
The Siberian railway is one of the
greatest commercial enterprises of the
century. The man who is building 1t told
me a month ago that trains would be
running from Irkutsk to Vladivostock in
1902. He told me the earth then could be
naVigated in 40 days. This is four years
earlier than was originally expected, but
the Importance of the road became SO
manifest that the utmost urgency has
been enforced 1t is wholly surveyed, and
the rails are going down as fast as they
can be got to Their places. 1T is quite
possible to travel by rail now from Mini
Novgorod, on the Volga to lrkutsk, made
familiar to the civilized world by Jules
Verne in "Michael Strogoff."
What will be the first terminus on the
Pacfic?'
at has not been officially promulgated,
but you can say that it will be Talien-
WAN a fine harbor in Manchuria, which
will be made absolutely Russian. Port
Arthur would not suit, though a branch
line of railway viii be run to that place.
Where they originally intended to run
one train day each way, they are now
running six. The towns along the Siberian
steppes are quite populOus. The rates of
fare in Russia are much lower than in
any part Of the world. 1t is the intention
of the Russian government to make
through rate from the Neva to the Pacific
of about $50. The distance will be nearly
5000 miles
What was the sentiment in Russia re-
Yli in W Snain
"I official circles the victory of the
United States was regarded as a toregone

Russian people knew little about the

is found everywhere is inexplicable, but
it could not be shaken by any diplomatic
influence that any European power could
exert "roujour Fidel is the phrase that

Senate Proceedings

Washington, Feb. 1S.-When the senate
met a number of minor bills, mostly deal
ing with grants of right of way to rail-
ways through Indian reservations, We're
passed Consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill was then resumed
Cullum offered an amendment appro-
pria ting $500 900 instead of 1925, 900 as pro-
vided by the bill for the extension of
pneumatic tube mail service either by
purchase or otherwise. He presented a
long petition from business men of Chi
cago urging that that city be given the
benefit of pneumatic tube service and the
idea of his amendment was it should be
extended to Chicago
Quay, in charge of the bill, favored he
use of pneumatic mail tubes, but was in
clined not to admit the propriety of put
ting an amendment on the bill. Allison
made point of order against the amend
ment that it was new legislation. The
point of order was discussed at length by
several senators.

weekly Market Review.

Bullish speculation on all the exchanges
suffered something of a setback during
the past week. The primary cause was the
wrangling in the Senate over the peace
treaty. The boom was caused by a feeling
of buOyant confidence in period of great
prosperity and development and this con-
fldence is now threatened to be shaken by
the politicians. Thus our salons are doing
what they can to stem the tide of pros
perity before it has had chance to beneht
hardly any class except a few specuFa tors.
On the stock exchange the feeling of
uneasiness was most pronounced on FRI
day. A recovery followed, but less favor
able bank statement on Saturday caused
weak close. The decline, however, has
not attained any very great degree, the loss
in most active stocks not generally exceed
ing to points. Some in fact,are higher,
especially some 'specialties; Metropolitan,
for instance, gained Is points. So far there
are no evidences that the eliminating point
has been passed, for occasional reactions
interrupt all advancing markets; yet the
market is menaced by a grave danger. A
little more senatorial wisdom, a little more
weakness in prices, and little more signs
of dearerVmoney will induce the banks to
call heavy margins on securities carried.
This will cause a contamination which
powerful clique of bears win devoutly do
all in their power to assist. Some stocks
which as yet have not shared in the recent
advance are safe investments, and be-
sides. are in line TO spring into promi
nence any day
The decline in cotton up to Friday ex-
ceeded 20 points. Later, there was a small
recovery, the close being at loss of 10 at
16 points; May, 6.07c; August, 6.11c. Wall
street selling out probably had more to do
with the decline than anything else Liver
pool showed no leading weakness, and the
news and general sentiment was more bull
ish than otherwise. The movement is run
ming materially behind last year. and port
and interior stocks are rapidly diminish
ing. Unless Congress succeeds in stopping
the wheels of commercial and financial
confidence, the upward turn will probably
be soon resumed.
Wheat declined sac, closing at the lowest
with a downward tendency; May, 721sQ
72Ac. OF an the markets. wheat had the
least basis for an advance. The govern
ment figures of the last crop, SIS 900, 900
bushels, will be understood by the trade to
mean about 10000 900, and large surplus
is assured, with occasional rallies, wheat
seems bound to sell lower.
Provisions went off also, May ribs closing
at $50215 AT about these figures they may
be bought with reasonable assurance of a
profit. VIM. T. Williams.
