THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
DR. EDWARD EVERETT HALE ON THE CARS
C1RCULAR-A TRIBUNAL SUCH AS THE
ID ID .rr1A

DR. EDWARD EVERETT HALE ON THE CzAR'S
C1RCULAR-A TRIBUNAL SUCH AS THE
BAR ASSOCIATION PROPOSED.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: 1t is to be regretted that Of many people
who comment freely on the Cars circular re-
garding peace few have taken the pains to
read 1t. even among these in high places. 1t
would seem as If even statesmen had been
obliged In the rush of our hustng times to sat
isfy themselves with poor secondhand authori-
ties.
Thus II is described on the right hand and the
left as if its principal object were a disarma-
ment of Europe. 1t is even spoken of as The
Disarmament Circular"
The truth is that the circular is very we'll
worth reading. And whoever will take the pains
10 read il will see that its first object. and its
chief object. is a permanent peace among Euro
pean States and that the conference which 1t
calls is called for that object The circular says
truly that for twenty years this maintenance OF
peace has been urged with special eagerness in
the treaties made In that time. 1t closes by
saying that the conference will give an oppor-
tunity for concentrating in one focus all the
efforts made in this direction The Car ex-
presses a hope that the r.ations may agree upon
q plan which may give corporate unity TO the
efforts and suggestions which have been made
In this direction. II is true that once again the
circular refers to the wish for disarmament felt
among all the nations a good illustration Of
its general argument But that argument is In
favor Of any measures which may lessen the
danger Of hostile collisions between fleets or
armies.
Chief among the plans for this purpose are
the plans for a permanent tribunal analogous
TO the Supreme Court of our forty-sx States.
10 which all unsettled questions between ma
tons might be referred before the arbitrament
Of war. OF these plans the most practical. and
therefore most widely commended is that drawn
I'D by the Bar Association OF New-York on a
report presented by very strong committee
The officers Of the Bar Association ought TO
make sure that in the presentation OF the views
Of America in the great Belgian Conference this
plan should be properly presented. 1t Is far
more important than any scheme for the reduc-
ton OF military Or naval ornaments.

Ths Cotton Crop, Price, Etc.

According to the New York Com
mercial the cotton men of that city
think Neill's twelve million bale esti-
mate entirely too large. Oa the
floor of the Stock exchange none Of
the traders seem to think that the
crop will be over 1O,500,00O bales at
the highest. The mills have been
taking orders for cotton goods, both
in the United States and abroad, at
prices that would allow the spin
ner to pay 8 cents pound for mid.
ding cotton.
Good farmers from differet sections
tell US that this years's cotton crop
will not be a bit larger than last
years. But it ought to bring bet
ter price, because the world wants it,
and the quality promises to be better
than last years storm stuff.
CJtton is opening with unexampled
rapid:ty. Many fields are white
already unto harvest. Heavy mark
etiDg early in the season will bolster
up Neill's guess work andruin prices.

Return Of the Rations.

In the Civil War our soldiers faced
privation and hunger. A little story
in H. Clay Trumbull's book, eva,
Memories Of Chaplain" tells Of
the spirit in which they sometimes
did it.
While before Petersburg doing
siege work in the summer of 1864, oul
men had wormy hard tack served ou'
to them. It was a severe trial to the
men. Breaking open the biscuits
finding live worms in them, they
would throw the pieces into the
trenches. although the orders were
to keep the trenches clean.
A brigade officer Of the day, see
ing some of these scraps along our
front, called out sharply to our men:
Throw that hard tack out of the
trenches" Then, as the men prompt
ly gathered it up, he added, ''Don't
you know that you've no business to
throw hard tack in the trenchese"
Out from the Injured soldier heart
there came the reasonable ezplana-
ton, We've thrown it out two or
three times, sir, but it crawls back"

OBITUARY.

Departed this life at Brookland,
August IL, 1899, Minnie Wooten,
wife of John NJ. Wooten, after an
illness of 26 days of typoid fever.
Her suffsrings were geat but she
bore them with Christian fortitude,
knowing that it was far better to be
with the Lord, as she often said dur
ing her illness and just short while
before she died, she told her husband
that she was going to heaven. She
has left that blessed assurance that
she rests now on the other side Of
the river with her other brothers and
sisters which number eight, and a
mother, and while our hearts are sad
on account Of her absence from US
We are comfolted with the testimony
she has left, that with her all is well.
She was born January 2, 1879, and
departed this life August II, 1899,
making her sej)urn in the earthly
tabernacle l9 years, 7 months and
8 days. She leaves g husband, one
child, three brothers and many ria
tives and friends, whom she had won
with her kindness aud loving snil' 8,
to Scr ow for her departure. Sne
Was kind t. oil AID met them with a
smile. We mourn not for the dear
one as she Is safe on the other sid
