THE PEACE TRIBUNAL.

The peace tribunal which is holding
its meeting at The Hague for the dis
cussion of the subject of universal
peace, and what to do to lead up to
this will apparently be obliged to
leave the subject of disarmament to
some later period, and conine itself to
the discussion of arbitration and the
study Of the methods of carrying on
warfare at the present time, with the
hope that many of the projects now
on hand for the manufacture of de-
structive engines of war may be done
away with. Although the cause is a
most excellent one, it does not seem
that it can have any great effect
which will be felt in the immediate fu-
ture. There is feeling among many
classes of people that the Czar is not
sincere in his proposal but that he is
simply working to the advantage of
his own nation, which is at present
being terribly drained by the great tax
necessarily raised to maintain the
huge standing army which has been
organized there. While we do not
believe this is true, until the people
come to have better faith in the in
tentions of all parties there can be no
perfect understanding among the ma
tions. However, this meeting will
have an influence which will be last
ing. Before any great question like
international arbitration can be de-
cided upon, it must be agitated for a
long time, and the people must be
taught that it will work to their best
advantage. This meeting will be dis
cussed by the people all over the
world and even though nothing def
mite is decided upon at this time, it's
influence will extend to { .ery civilized
nation. 1t will bring about better un-
derstanding among the nations and
may ultimately lead to the universal
peace for which it was started

therefore, that the Rutland Canadian
road is negotiating for the lease or

branch from Essex Junction to Bur-

preached regarding the rumor refuse
to throw any light upon the subject.
This may mean that such a transac-
tion is under way or it may mean just
the opposite. Right on the heels of
this rumor comes the information
that number of prominent capital
lists have joined A. j. Corriveau of

terprise. Among them are the Hon.

ator Proctor takes a deep interest in
the proposed canal. At conference
on the subject he expressed the view
that New England and New York
state were largely interested in the
Lake Champlain route and connect
ing links between the waters of the
st. Lawrence and Lake Champlain
being made. A meeting of the inter
ested parties will be held at an early
Gate in Montreal. The transportation
business seems to be booming on the

Emilio CASTELAR,, the distinguished
Republicans orator and statesman of
Spain, who had been suffering from
an attack of pulmonary catarrh con
tracted last winter, is dead.
A despatch from Dyas, Mexico, says
there is great excitement in the town
of San Dialo, ten miles from there
over the lynching of seven colored
laborers on the Mexican Central rail
road. Joseph Santo Spanish negro,
attempted to assault the wife of Senior
Duply, ranch owner, and escaping
from the plantation, was tracked by
bloodhounds-an in company with
nine others, captured in hut on the
river bank opposite Eagle Pass. The
regulators did not attempt to prove
the guilt of any of the negroes but
hung three of them and shot four
more as they were attempting to es
cape. The officials are swearing in
deputies as race trouble is threatened
in the colored quarters. The four ne
grOes killed were Americans and all
served sentences in the Texas peni-
tentiary.
Syrian residents of the country have
been startled recently by receiving
printed proclamation issued by the
Turkish government demanding that
they appear at the different consul
lates and register an oath of allegi-
ance to the sublime porte. Those who
fail to do SO are threatened with pun
ishment by being prevented from re-
turning to their native land. There
is nothing in the proclamation which
excludes those who become citizens
of the United States, but it is suppos-
ed that the sultan will not insist on
+I,oSx 80 lot Il
the register, This feature of the af
fair, however, has caused much alarm
among the Syrians, and while they
care little about orders issued by the
sultan, they fear that their failnre to
comply will mean trouble for their
relatives and friends at home. In fact,
punishment has been limited at, they
say, in the call, and Christians in Sy-
ria may be subjected to more of the
cruelty SO frequently inflicted by re-
Hgious fanatics who represent them
selves as the agents of the govern
ment.
Gen. Lawton, after so days of sue
cessful campaigning, is resting with
5000 men at Candaba. He said to a
correspondent, in describing his vic
torious march of months duration:
"It panied me when we got into San
lsldrO to see on the walls of the prison
there the names Of the Is Americans
from the Yorktown. From Col. Ray,
the Spanish officer whom we rescued,
learned that one of the American
prisoners escaped from his captors.
His freedom was short lived. for he
was afterward captured. He was
stretched on the ground before his
fellow prisoners and 20 lashes were
given him. We found a letter near
San Isidro, written by one of the
Yorktown's crew, saying that they
had been kicked, that their hair was
being pulled out, and that they were
cruelty treated in various other ways,
and praying their ellow-countrymen
to hurry to their release. The insur-
gents make practice of numbering
Cinnamon who fall into their hands,
and our men, suppose, should con-
slider themselves fo rtunate that they
have not been similarly treated,
though the cruelties and indignities
heaped upon them must be hard to
bear.

responsibility for the stories started
in regard to the poor rations fxee
and the authors identified and punish
ed. We believe that the court is right
in its recommendation and if the au-
thors of many of the stories were to
be brought forth, they would be found
in many instances to be correspond
ents of the large city dailies, who had
taken story told them by returned
soldier and magnified it until it would
make fine first page article. We
have no doubt but that there were
some instances where the meat taken
into the hot climates for the soldiers
may have been spoiled and that some
sickness may have been caused from
| it, but we cannot see where there is
any blame to be attached to the heads
Of the departm for this, for they
ell did everything possible for them
to do in the position in which they
were placed when they were called to
raise an army of $50, 900 men and pro-
vide for them on short notice. The
large houses for the production of
canned beef were called upon in an
emergency and they furnished the
best they had, but, unfortunately it
it was not at satisfactory for the
conditions under which it was to be
used. Had the food which was fur
nished been used in a different eli
mate in the same places under
more favorable conditions, it would
have been satisfactory. We cannot
see where a further investigation can
do any good unless it is to put a stop
to the false reports constantly started
by the daily papers to help their sales.
We can see no reason for the censure
Of the Commissary General in provid-
ing the amount of beef which he did
to supply the army as he was plan
ming, as did all the other departments,
on the war continuing much longer
than it did, and had the ration fallen
short, he would then have been much
more to be blamed than for an ample
provision. The decision of the board
that Gen. Miles should have immed-

ever he found regarding the rations
which were not right instead of keep
ing it to himself until after the war
was over, was perfectly just as if the
General was working with nothing
but the welfare Of the privates at
heart he should, if he thought they
were not properly fed, have imme-
diately notified the proper authorities
instead ofleaving them to continue on
the poor rations. The war has taught
many lessons which will not soon be
forgotten and if we were to be thrown
into another conflict within a short
time there is no doubt but that it could
be carried on in many ways better
than the last one, but as we have
stated we believe the heads of the de-
partments all did the best they could
under the circumstances, some mis-
takes were doubtless made, but
they cannot be made right by any
further investigation and the matter
should be dropped.
