WORLDS WOMEN AND THE PEACE
ooNEERENoE ATTHE HAGUE,

To The Editor Of the Press:
in this country In behalf of q settled peace
between all the nations Of the civilized
world is already notable. 1t is not alone
in the United States. however, that the
womans' movement to advance the best
and highest influences of civilization is
showing its strength and WORTH
In Munich. Germany, the federation OF
womons' Unions is taking an active part
In the agitation in Europe, since the
proclamation of the Cars appeal for
peace. A central committee has been
formed, including representatives from
every country In the world. The object
is to hold women's meetings In all these
countries, on the eve of the opening of
the Gear s conference. set for the 18th of
May.
The countries which have already prom
Used cooperation are England, United
States of America, Holland, France, Ger
many, Austria and Japan.
Lady Aberdeen, president of the Inter-
national council of Women is member
VI tnls COlllultuto anu
Mary Wright Sewall, vice president of the
International, the member for the United
States.
The official circular addressed to the
National Council closes with the follow
ing appeal:
Hoping this project will be favored with
your interest and will win your active
90 operation, we beg you to enter into
communication with the women of your
country who will be able to promote Its
execution, in way which shall be in
harmony with their we'll known zeal In
the cause OF Peace and Arbitration.
Efforts should be made TO convene rep
resentatives of all women's organizations
In cities and towns Meetings should
open with devotional exercises. Brief
addresses by both men and women, with
the intention of uniting as many differ
emit parties and scots as possibls, since 10
would seem that the desire to prevent
bloodshed and reduce the awful immoraity
that always attends and follows war
makes a common appeal to all hearts,

Lewiston audiences are famous for
leaving halls and churches before the en-
tertainments are over. One time when
Edward Eggleston was concluding lect-
ure in Lewiston, a number of people got
up and went out before the close of the
entertainment. MIR. Egeleston noticed it
and he Remarked: "Why. this is Lewis
ton, isn't it? / lectured here ID years
ago and the people got up and went out
the same as they are doing now. Yes,
this is Lewiston.

The Baltimore election is supposed to
have considerably advanced the aspira.
lions which Mr.. German is believed to
cherish to be the next Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency. With Baltimore
solid beh ind him it is believed he can
name theinext governor of Maryland, aud
ensure delegation to the next Demo-
cratic convention which will be for him
first, last and all the time. Mary land is
q little state, however, and its delegation
is small. Neither its influence nor it's
votes will go far toward making Mr..
German the.candidate. If he could add
New York aud New Jersey, as he proba-
bly, hopes to do, he might become form
liable opponent to the boy orator. But
at the present time the boy orator still
has long lead-too long probably for
MIR. German or anybody else to catch up
with unless he can be tripped up.

BYRON BOYD, Secretary of State.

The Hon. Joseph Cannon's aspirations
for the speakership have been nipped in
the bud by union of the Illinois dele
CATION in favor of Hopkins. Without the
support of any part of the delegation
from his own state MIR. Cannon knows
TINT he could make no progress and so
withdraws Nevertheless, Mr.. Cannon
has good many more qualifications for
the speakership than some of the can
didatss who are staying in.

The lkepublican State convention in
Ohio is about a month off, and prepare
lions ara ON foot for one of the biggest
rows ever seen in the state which, as
everybody knows. is very prolific of rum
pusses. 1t is Hanna and anti-Hanna,
with several factions in between not
specially committed to either side but
hoping that in the general chaos they
may turn up on top. The fight is SO Bit
ter even now that two state conventions
are threatened, one under the auspices OF
the Hanna faction and the other managed
by the Kurtz- Bushnell McKisson wing.
All the factions agree in supporting the
administration, but in everything else
they disagree radically and beyond much
hope of compromise. Personal hatreds
seem to be at the bottom of the trouble,
and the welfare of the. party appears to be
of little consequence in comparison with
the qualification of these enmities.

1t seems to us that the commotion over
MIR. Atkinson's pamphlets has done more
to advertise them and familiarize the
people with their contents than all his
own efforts even with the assistance of
the United States mails could have done
In a dozen years. The chances are that
most of his pamphlets would have been
thrown into the waste basket or used to
kindls fires with as most literature which
comes in the guise of public documents
is, and very few would ever have known
their contents. FAs 1t is now public at
tentior has been concentrated upon them

exchange settlement passed with ease
and money ls plentiful at moderate rates.
except on katiirs and kangaroos, and
there 10 to 20 per cent does not seem to
count for much. The average rates else.
where are from four to FIVE per cent The
speculative account carried was heavy In
most departments, and not the least so
in American railroad shares. At the
same time the number OF small trans.
actions steadily Increases and those are
generally arranged for the outside stock
exchange, The habit OF speculation Is
spreading downward among the people
