The only European nation which will
not be officially represented at the
peace congress is Turkey. Abdul-Ham-
id is not fool. He knows that Russia
has no love for the Ottoman realm, and
so declines to put his head in the
spring trap. If he is to be strangled, he
would prefer bold fight to being
caught with bit of trifing bait. He
probably labors under the impression
and it is not an injudicious one,
either-that disarmament in his case
would mean humiliation. Nothing, IN
fact, can prolong Turkish rule except
the maintenance of strong army. and
as long as the present administration
reigns at Stamboul. bearish peace pro-
posals will be received for what they
may be worth.
The people of the United States are
earnest advocates of universal disarma-
ment, and our government will add
its voice to the cars appeal for peace.

made by and between their more pow

But in spite of this sympathetic feel
ing the ST. Petersburg peace congress
is destined 10 be failure. simply be-
cause not one of the great powers will
take the initiative in the disarmament
movement. Had the car been truly
honest in his pacific desires he would
have reduced his own army instead of
increasing it and centralizing it ir To-
calities where it must be viewed as q
menace by other nations.
Universal disarmament will not be
accomplished by a congress of dipio-
mats or doctrinaires. But it is bound
to be the logical outcome of the next
greatwar when. to use the cars words,

THE ALASKAN vEsUv1Us.
The Glare from the Sp0uting Lave
Turns Night Into Day-N0t
Yet Named.

Further information of the active vol
cano discovered in the Atlin gold dis
trict in British Columbia is to the effect
| that the volcano furnishes the miners
! light by which to work their claims
during the long darkness of the Arctic
winter. The glare from the spouting
lava, reflected back against the sky,
gives an almost continuous twilight to
the upper end of the Atlin district.
All the passengers of the steamer
Cottage City, arriving from Alaska,
nave stories to tell of the volcano, but
from Dr.. w. B. Kinsloe and I. H. James,
mining men of Denver, who have been
| making an examination of the Atlin
country. comes the best and apparent
~ most authentic description of the
Alaskan Vesuvius.
The mountain in eruption" said
DR.. Kinsloe, "is the second in q range
Of four towering peaks lying about so
miles due south of Lake Gladies and
slightly shorter distance from Atlin
City. These mountains are of at least
$4,000 feet altitude. the crater resting
slightly below its three brother peaks.
1T was in the early part of October
that the smoke was first seen issuing
from the mountain. With the thought
of volcano furthest from their minds,
the miners attributed these first signs
of an eruption to clouds hanging about
the peak. So constant, however, was
the cloud that it became an object of
daily observation from Atlin City.
Then, on November s, the mountain
burst forth in flames. Through the
smoke cloud there shot a stream of
molten lava, powders and ashes that
frightened the sky for a radius of near
ly 40 miles and sent its reflected light
through the darkness down upon the
men working on Birch, Discovery, Nc
Kee. Pine and other creeks, the sides
of whose banks face towards the vol.
cano.
"A panic ensued among the miners
when the ashes began falling down
upon them.
"The ashes fell to a depth of several
inches and the stream down the noun
tain side increased in magnitude. The
fall of ashes later stopped and the men
returned to work.
when we left the miners were work
ing nights, gladly profiting by the mel
low twilight caused by the volcanoes
glare, which turned night into day.
mo name has as yet been given to
the mountain, but when we left. the
Canadian officials at Atlin were prepar-
ing for an expedition to the Volcano
and will undoubtedly christen it,

to make his proposed international
peace conference at least something of
a success.
Although Russian officialdom. from
the throne down to the rural police Of
fee. has always denounced the press
as an agency Of evil, yet it recognizes
its power, and the emperor has not
disdained to make a confidant of Will
liam T. Stead, the London editor who
a few years ago achieved considerable
fame, or notoriety, for exposing the
vices of high British society.
To Mr.. Stead the car confided that
after studying nineteenth century civ
ilization, he has found it not entirely
good. He sees nations engaged in seiz-
ing, or trying to seize. all territory not
yet occupied by European powers. and,
looking at the results. discovers them
to be unsatisfactory.
For the native races what does i'm
perial expansion mean?" asks the
car; and then answers his own ques-
ton as follows: TOO often opium, al
cohol and all manner of foul diseases;
a great gulf between the governed and
those who rule; and crushing taxation
upon the natives for the blessings of
this civilization. And for the nations
who seize it means continual increase
of suspicion, jealousy and rivalry; the
keeping up of fleets and armies in or
der to take part in scramb BILE with the
world, with the result that the army
and navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used for
the welfare of the people and the ad-
vancement of the world"
Speaking of the social effects of this
state of affairs, the car is inclined to
think that ION top are a few rich and
comfortable. Down below, with an
ever-increasing pressure of taxes for
ornaments, is the great mass of poor
people whose position is not good
There is an ever-increasing multitude
of those below, with their brooding dis
content ripening into socialism and de-
veloping into all kinds of anarchy. We
have at the present time arrived at the
stage when our best manhood is in the
army. So much is this the case that
the whole of the troops in European
countries cannot be modified without
dislocating the whole social fabric.
Moreover. war has become so expensive
that no state can stand the strain of

telling his friends:
1T was such petty thing that the
more 1 thought of it the madden got.
"The milkman leaves my milk before
the sun is up; it is somewhat later
when l feel called upon to leave my
bed, and during the time that the milk
remains on the back porch some one
has been making it practice to steal
it. 1t is more than provoking to find,
when breakfast is ready, that you havc
no milk for your coffee.
II set all manner of traps to catch
the thief without success. Then hired
one of the neighbours boys to sit up
and keep watch. But the next morn
ing I found the milk gone and the boy
asleep.
THE other morning CHANGED to be
awake just before sunrise, and heard
some one fumbling with the milk can
on the back porch. Hastily throwing
on my dressing gown. l stepped softly
to the door and threw it open suddenly.
I'm the dim light could see a man
bending over the can, and, without
stopping to see if he was bigger man
than I, l sprang at him with blood IN
my eye. The shock threw him off the
porch, and we rolled down the STEPS
together. fighting like couple of wild
cats.

racket, for heard the windows goirr
up all around me. and some one was
blowing police whistle. while my wife
was wringing her hands upon the

fraternal intentions of the govern
pie of Cuba. 1t was the purpose of the
president to depend largely upon
Gen. Garcia for the formulation and
development of a stable government,
gradually bringing the people to a
state of civilization and appreciation
of liberty.
Marti, Maceo and Garcia are names
that will linger in the grateful mem
cries of the friends of free Cuba
throughout generations. They are the
great martyrs who were foremost in
the conflict and fell before they saw
the full fruition of their heroism and
sacrifice.
Marti was the leader of the Cuban
revolution. He was the youngest of
all, but he planned and put into execu-
ton the beginning of the war that
swept the flag and power of Spain from
the lovely isle. He fell in one of the
earliest skirmishes of the war, and was
the first of the great martyrs whose
blood gave Cuba independence.
Maceo was the Stonewall jackson of
the Cuban rebellion. He had won the
respect even of Spain by his heroism
and skill as military leader in the
Ten Years war, and he fell by the hand
of an assassin just when the battle of
Cuban independence became a hopeful!
one. He will rank in history as one of
the few men who have taught the world
that the negro can stand abreast with
the white man in the line of great war
riors.
Garcia, like Maceo, was one of the
great heroes of the Ten Years rebel
lion. and he never bowed to Spanish
authority. Once, when wounded and
unable to make his escape from the
Spanish soldiers, he fred his pistol int O
his own mouth. the bullet emerging
from his forehead. leaving a CHASTITY
mark to tell the story of his undying
hostility to Spanish rule. Being left
on the field as dead, his powerful con-
stitution enabled him to recover. He
played a most conspicuous part in the
late insurrection and united his force S
with the American army at Santiago.
but escaped the perils of the field only
to bring with him the dregs of disease
which ended his great life on the very
day that the news Of peace between
Epaiu and the United States. including
the independence of Cuba, was pro-
Alaimed TO the world.

on the following day accompanied

All the coal used by the Meet under his

close OF the war 10000 tons have been
sent to Manila on steamers and sail

through the SueZ Canal and the latter
around the Cape of Good Hope. The

two months, while that around the

coal sent to Honolulu goes in sailing
ships around the Horn. II has been

Remains Ui William EIasklSy Ia.

The remains Of William RIacklcy, Jr.,
the only son Of millionaire banker
OF stanton, Va, were disnterred from
the pOtter's field a few days ago and
sent TO the Atlantic Coast TO rest with
those of his forefathcrs in the Old

Several years ago young Blackley
left his home on account of i'll health
and located in Honolulu as bank
clerk. Although his health improved,
he was led to leave the Islands and
ship under the name Of w. J. Mason
as steward on the brigantine Lurline,
for San Francisco. His arrival here
was not marked by reformation OF
habits, and on the afternoon of March
Il, 1898, he was found dead In a room
Of the Bonanza iodging-house, at 500
Market street, With a bottle partly
filled with carbolic acid beside him.
He had been a lodgcr at the place
only two days, and left no papers by
which lie could be identified so the
body was taken TO the Morguc, where
he captain OF the Lurllne recognized
It as that o. his former steward, Nj
son. Under that name he was buried
by the city. Two months later his
father saw picture Of the suicide In
a San Francisco newspaper and wrote
to a friend here to learn all particulars
and to have the remains sent home.
He asked, too, for picture, and IN
complying with the request his cores
pendent was forced to send the ghas,Iy
photograph taken at the Morgue, with
all It's hldcous details. The body was
easily located, but 1t could not be OK
