THE WHITE DOE"
Mrs. Gotten Reads Her Poem to a
Good Sized Audience at the Acade-
my.

Mrs. Gotten Reads Her Poem to
my.
Mrs Cotten's poem, THE White
Doe" apart from its large intrinsic
merits as a literary production. has the
advantage of dealing, in the lost Croatan
colonists, with what is passed into the
realm of mystery and legend, and is
therefore interesting to the folk of these
ordinary. commonplace days who relish
occasional excursions of that sort.
Then, too North Carolina is having
belated awakening to the value of her
history and glimmerings Of pride there
IN are beginning to stir. Eor both of
these reasons the poem appeals to
Iarheel readers. or as last night ut the
Academy of music, to hearers.
The verse is easy and graceful, and
of rhythen that lends itself admirably
to recitation and so well has the au-
thor handled q naturally poetic theme
that there are no dull places from
first to last. The good sized audience
which greeted Mrs. Gotten, therefore
had nm evening of rare esthetic pleasure
as was evinced by the unhagging atten-
ton which the reading received.
Before the reading the orchestra of
the Deaf and Dumb and Blind lnstitu-
tion gave Il selection and Miss Nc
kinnon. of Peace Institute, piano
solo: Messrs. Baker, Bruner, Wharton
and Bizzell, sang the serenade Until
the Dawn DR. T. n. Ivey spoke brief-
ly by way of introduction. After the
reading Miss Josephine Mitchell and
Miss Porter of Peace Institute, each
gave vocal solos that were well rem
dered.

HAGUE CONFERENCE.
The American and Russian Schemes
Of Arbitration.
OUTLINE OF BOTH PROPOSITIONS,
The Americans to submit a Scheme OF
Mediation Distinct from Their Arbi-
tration Plan Compulsion Not
Wanted.

London, May S1.-The Daily Tele
graphs correspondent at The Hague
says: 1.-THE American scheme deals with
the entire question. Not only does il
outline accurately the type of the per.
manent tribunal but it also provides
satisfactorily for the mechanism OF
such a court in all its details. The
Americans, however, are willing to
have the best features of the British,
American and Russian proposals ANAL
gamated in homogeneous whole.
The Americans propose that in
the event of new facts coming
to light after a verdict such as
would justify fresh trial, the case
shall be heard again by the same tri.
bunal. After the investigation the
commission shall submit a report,
signed by all the members, to the gov
ernments interested. The repsrt shall
in no wise have the charantar of au ar.
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1899-06-01

bltration judgment, but shall leave the
conflicting parties at full liberty either
to conclude friendly arrangement on
the basis Of said report, or to have re.
course to arbitration by concluding an
agreement, or else by resorting to ac-
tive measures allowable in the mutual
relations between nations"
The Russian proposals are followed
by a code of arbitration indicating
procedure on these lines: 1.-THE states
interested that have accepted arbitra.
ton shall sign special act of COM
promise clearly setting forth the ques.
tions to be arbitrated and the full facts
connected Herewith. The compromise
thus concluded may provide for arbi-
tration upon the whole matter
in dispute or upon points cate
gorically determined. The govern
ments interested may entrust the
function of arbitration either to a
sovereign third power or to tribunal
OF arbitration, Such tribunal shall be
selected in the same manner as COM
missioners of inquiry; and if difficulty
arises in choosing the fifth arbitrator
as president, the other powers shall be
asked by common consent to appoint a
president. The other clauses of the
proposals deal with details as to place
of meeting, the appointment of coun-
sell the procedure of the tribunal and
cognate matters.

The Americans refuse to consent to
compulsion in any category of cases
for arbitration or at any stage of the
proceedings. Disputes, therefore, can
only be referred to the permanent
tribunal by the desire of both litigant
states. They also hold that to oblge

Ex-JUDGE MELTON DEAD.
lie Was One of the Most Eloquent OF
south CarOIinians.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 25.-Ex-
United States Crcuit-Judge Samuel
Wycliff Melton died at the home Of his
son, United States Marshal l.. ID. Melton,
in this city, at 7i5 o'clock tonight.
Judge Melton was born in this State In
1880, and was, in his prime, one Of the
most learned lawyers and eloquent speak
ers South Carolina has ever produced.
He was at various times In his career
Attorney-General Of South Carolina,
United States Dlstrict-Attorney Tor this
State, and United States Circuit Judge.
After the war he Joined the Republican
party, and consequently lost the chance
of preferment which would probably have
come TO him when the Democrats regain
ed control.
As an orator he had few equals. and his
name was associated with many cele-
brated cases in the courts of the State.
Some months ago he suffered n stroke Of
paralysis, and had been in a critical con-
dition OF health nearly ever since that
time.
