mous-of the full meeting of the as
ISOLATION.
This plan proposes that if nine ma
tions can be induced to combine in the
great combination the highest court
of each one of them shall be empow-
cred to name one of it's members for
life as a permanent member of the
great national tribunal. If only three
nations agree to the plan it can begin.
Such a court would at first be looked
upon with doubht, and only the lesser
questions would be submitted to it.
But as it decided such questions il
would be gaining prestige and authori-
ty and In time the nations of the world
would wait upon its decisions. | dc
not say they would always obey, but
the opinion of a board of honor, in
tegrity and impartiality would be very
difficult for any nation to evade.
AS Americans, ! say that we are
proud that such an initiative should be
given by the great lawyers of our own
country. But, in truth, as I have al
ready said, the American Union is it
self an object lesson, showing what a
supreme tribunal is With this OBJ
Ject lesson we are able to make a step
forward which shall lead to what
Henry ". called the United States of
Europe, and to What we will yet call
not the United States of Europe, but
the United States Of Christendom.
This conference will give the Amer
lean nation an opportunity to render a
service to the European world. which
will be incalculable. Are we going to
use it or neglect it? 1t is q service
which is called for by our duty to them
and our interest to ourselves. OF all
those whom the president could select
to act as our representatives at this
conference who are better fitted OF
more suitable, after our ambassador
than members of the association, which
wrought out the best plan for this OBJ
ject that has yet been made public?
Let the American people speak to their
president with no uncertain voice, and
he will see to it that the car receives
from us not only expressions of sym
pathy for his splendidlly audacious
proposal, but also the strong hand of
experience to guide his footsteps along
the path We have trodden these many
years.

TO WIND UP AFFAIRS.

Charles A. Merrill, as auditor in the
case of Matt Mattson ct ais, of the
Finnish Cooperative Grocery Union,
against Messrs. Anderson ct ais other
owners Of the concern. has drawn UP his
report in the case, and it will be filed

arose from a petition of the plaintiffs
for the winding up Of the affairs of the
union, and the payment to the plaintiffs
of such portion of the assets as should
be found their due, after the cancella-
ton of all obligations of the concern.
There were two factions in the man
agement of the union, and when one
faction was finally ousted from the
board of control, the courts We're APP
pealed to to settle the differences and
wind up the unions affairs. Marvin NJ,
Taylor appears for the petitioners

Is Rushing in Sunny
South.
NEW COTTON MILLS.
Merrill E. Bradley Returns
From An Extended Trip.

Merrill e. Bradley, a prominent real
estate dealer of the city, who has his
office in the Burnside building, has re-
turned to his home in this city, after a
three weeks business tour through
the south. He found the south hot for
expansion, and business generally
frightening up. While below Mason
and Dixon's line he visited Savannah,
Atlanta and Charlotte, N. c., ending
his journey with Washington, the city
of magnificent distances.
One of the great signs of business
prosperity in the South is the revival
in the cotton business. The cotton mills
IN Georgia and Alabama are running
night and day, to keep up with orders,
and the manufacturing people are at
last beginning to believe that bright
times nave come to stay. New cot
ton mills are going up, and the iron
furnaces are rushed to their highest
capacity, and turning out more pro-
duct than ever before.
ME-. Bradley was another Worcester
man TO leave for the south to avoid
the cold wave, but it overlook him,
while in the heart of the sunny south.
the thermometer sank to degrees
below zero, while previous to the storm
the air had the balminess of spring.
Mr.. Bradley was impressed with At
lanta, which claims a population of 125,-
600, and is a fine, delightful city in
which to live. The cotton mills there
are more than rushed, but the product
is cheap goods, as Mr.. Bradley found
to be the case in nearly all the south
efh mills. 1t was there that the cold
wave spent itself, and as the store
Keepers had no provision for heating
their stores, business had to be sus-
pended for two days, although there
was but six inches of snow on the
ground. Even with this light fall of
feathery flakes, the street cars were
unable to run, and traffic on all the
lines was suspended for three days. 1t
was an unusual condition that pres
ented itself, and only the people in the
hotels, which had been provided with
heating apparatus, were able to keep
comfortable.
Mr.. Bradley will always remember
Savannah for the negro population, but
he found them an intelligent people.
AS Mr.. Bradley had been on the ocean
two days and three nights In reaching
the south, he concluded to visit the city
of Washington at his leisure. He saw
Senator Hoar and Congressman Walk
er at the capitol, and had a snap shot
at Speaker Reed in ms house. Mr.
Bradley attended several sessions of
the national Congress, and visited all
the buildings in the city. He returns
to Worcester in good health, warmly
appreciative of the courtesy of the
southern people, and their kindly chiv-
airy which does not vanish even in the
hustle and hustle of the 10th century.

THE TROUBLE is OVER.

William E. Fox, president of the Ma
tional Moulders' Union, was in the city
for short time last week, though the
fact was known to but few of the
higher officials of the local union. He
is investigating the conditions of the
union throughout the eastern states
and expressed himself as pleased at the
termination of the Pero strike.
Two more of the strikers went to
work at Pero's foundry yesterday, and
it is probable that before long the en-
tire force, with few exceptions will
be reinstated. Mr. Pero is making no
discrimination against those who were
most opposed to him during the trouble
but is employing any who wish it.

A Total Of 736 Deaths Among Amer

prints what purports to be full list
of fatalities in the American army in
the Philippines to June 2. The list
was furnished by Fred E. Eitell, a rep
resentative of the Manila Freedom, who
claims to have obtained it from the
records Of the surgeon generals Of
fee at Manila. The total number of
fatalities is 1856; % officers, 600 pri-
Yates and IA civilians, attached to the
army. A remarkable feature Of the
record is, found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the npm-
Der of privates killed. On the other
hand, fewer officers died from dissase
proportionately than privates. Out
