 With view of facilitating recourse to arbitration the signatory powers agree to formulate a commission on international arbitration and fundamental mediation and formulate rules to be followed during in- quirieS into disputes and the application of these principles and procedure may be modified in virtue of special arrangement between the states which have recourse to arbitration

It provides as follows: In cases of divergence causing interna- tional litigation local circumStanc which can not be settled by original dip lomatic means but don't involve honor or vital interests the governments interested agree to institute an international com mission to investigate impartially all questions of fact. Each government in- terested shall appoint two members Of the commission. The four shall choose a hfth who shall be president of the commission If the votes are divided as to this, an ap- peal shall be made to another government or to another party to appear.
 The Russian proposals are followed by code of arbitration indicating procedure on these lines:

The compromise thus concluded may provide for arbitration upon the whole matter in dispute, or upon points categorically determined.

 A tribunal shall be selected in the same manner as commissions of inquiry; and if difficulty arises in choosing the fifth arbi- trator the parties will be asked to con- sent to an appointment.

A special meeting of the board of police commissioners was held last night in the office of Chief of Police c. W.

 More than 10000 persons witnessed the

 Mercy and peace go hand in hand. If
 General Grant had shown mercy at Fort
 Donelson it would have meant years of
 destruction and desolation, and if he had
 not shown mercy at Appomattox breach

An Old Fashion Revived

A conspicuous feature of the summer girls wardrobe is the quaint little bertha very much like those which the belIes of General Washington's day used to wear with their thin tarletan muslin frocks over a century ago. These berthas are made of light figured silk, grass linen, dotted suisse and organdie, trimmed with narrow ruffies. Very often the ruf1es are made more beautiful by the addition of frills of lace and narrow ribbon sewed upon them. Some of these dress decorations look some- what like regalias or lodge decorations. When the long tabs come down below the jacket the effect is odd, but extremely fetching.

STRIKE IN THE 0RTOLE.
A Thick Vein Assaying $500 Ton
Uncovered in the Mine.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. PA strike
which promises to be a sensational one
has been made at the Oriole mine at
Old San Domingo, about eight miles
east of Wickenburg. The Oriole was
located about a year ago by the Ardath
Gold Mining company, made up prin-
cipally of Indianapolis capitalists. It
was known many years ago the San
Domingo mine, and was profitably but
specifically worked by Mexicans, who
took out several thousand dollars in
short time, reducing the ore by the
crude Arastra process. When they had
worked everything in sight they aban-
doned the property.
The Ardath Gold Mining company
had sunk a shaft to a depth of 100 feet
and has done a great deal of drifting
The new strike was made in the west
drift, disclosing a vein two feet wide,
assaying more than $500 ton. Mining
men who have visited the Oriole since
the strike was made say they believe
it will equal in Importance the Crowned
King discovery.
