The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-07-20
The Peace Congress at Work.

The information which the public has
received in cable reports from The
Hague relative to the work and work.
ings of the Peace congress has neces-
sarily been meager; a public service
has therefore been performed by the
Washington Star, in conjunction with
certain other papers, in securing from
a most efficient correspondent, Edward
Marshall, one of the heroes of the San
tiago campaign, a series of letters by
mail giving ample and interesting de-
tails.
Mr.. Marshall gives this picture for a
starter: Every important nation rep
resented at the peace conference, ex-
cepting only Germany, had war on
it's hands when it's delegates talked
peace. The United States was fighting
in the Philippines, France was fighting
in Algeria and had by no means Sc
cured peace in Madagascar. England
is never without it's little wars in In
dia and in others of it's colonial pos
sessions. Russia inside of three weeks
had three small instructions to put
down and was fighting the natives in
China. Holland for twenty-five years
has been conducting war in Sumatra
While the French delegates sat and
calmly discussed means of wiping out
international warfare some of the
most prominent and influential of their
countrymen in Paris were trying to
overthrow the republic at home, and
President Loubet found it necessary to
call out $4,000 soldiers to guard him
while he drove less than five miles to
race track. Besides these actual war
like disturbances there rose on the
horizon a black cloud indicative of an
armed struggle between the English
government and the Beers in South
Africa-a cloud which has by no means
been dispelled as yet. Certainly there
was reason for the meeting of the hun
dred men who went to The Hague to
talk of peace Ten times their number,
while they sat in conclave there, were
busy in their respective nations plan
ming war"
To Americans it will be agreeable ia
learn that the American delegation was
the subject of profound interest at The
Hague, Mr.. Marshall on this point tes-
titles as follows: II have been much in
Europe and much with European diplo.

refusal to give the collector of poor
tax his accustomed place in the treas

embarrassing position for the poor tax
man will have his usual desk room
there. Notwithstanding Mr.. Robinson.
The latter has evidently fallen into
the bad habit of allowing others to de-
eide questions for him. It's a conven-

inson does not quote the authority by
which he would Danish the poor tax
collector from his office. He contents

mics.
