through the locks and as he ap-
preached the dam he was hailed by
the lockkeeper not to approach any
closer. The warning was not needed
and the young oarsman kept on row.

ARBITRATION CONFERENCE.
A Naval Ohhcer Speaks About Disarn,a-
ment-A synopsis Of the Resolu-
lions Adopted.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, June Com
mander Wadham, U. S. N, addressed
the arbitration conference yesterday
on the subject of disarmament. He
would have all international difficult
ties referred to The Hague court, he
said. and he would be glad to see n
worlds police army organized. While
favoring arbitration, the United
States could not do without a navy,
else how would our missionaries be
protected and commercial interests
promoted?
The conference yesterday adopted
Its platform. It says in part: In
the establishment of the international
court at The Hague there is reason
for immense rejoicing and the pro-
foundest gratitude. There is now a
tribunal before which nations great
and small may bring their contro-
versies with confidence that the truth
will be ascertained aud fair decisions
rendered. We would call the atten-
ton of all who mold public opinion
to special opportunity: That, name
~, of strengthening the feeling in
favor of arbitration during the criti-
cal period before the court shall come
into full activity. Particularly should
iaborers, who bear the brunt OF wars,
be induced to use their collective
power to prevent them. In like man
ner should chambers of commerce,
boards of trade, bankers associations
and merchants In specific lines of
business, as well as individual finan-
ciers, be induced to use their power
for the same object. The court rep
resents great gain already secured
and possible one the value of which
transcends all power of expression.
II remains to make the greater gain
. reality.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The steadiness Of Prices Feature, the
Cereals Being as High or Slightly
Higher Than q Week Ago

New York, June 1.-Bradstreet's
says; Unreasonable weather has
been the key Of the general situation
this week, discouraging as it has been
to retail trade in the cities and coun-
try districts alike and retarding the
growth Of most crops, but particu-
larly corn and oats in the northern
half of the country and cotton at the
south. Withal, however, there is a
feeling prevalent that few weeks
OF warm, sunny weather, a decided
lack Of which has 80 far been noted
this spring, would do much to place
matters commercial and agricultural
in as good or better condition than
. year ago. Apart from these fea-
lures the week was without much
change, except that a rather better
spirit has been visible in the indus
trial situation, and that some prog.
ress has been made toward a settle.
ment of existing labor troubles.
The steadiness of prices is still q
feature, the cereals being as high or
slightly higher than a week ago, as
much owing to bad crop reports from
abroad US to tales of dry weather
damage in the northwest to wheat
and too cool weather for corn in the
country, as q whole. Cotton is higher
in the face Of large receipts and re-
ports Of slow trade, because the pros
pect as to the near months, particu-
larly July, is still doubtful, and ow-
ing to covering by the short interest
in that and the succeeding month.
The crop Is at least two weeks late,
but the average will probably be
from five to ten per cent. larger, some
of which will, perhaps, be lost, but
, still leaving u comfortable margin Of
n increase, providing warm, forcing

Wheat and Oats Crops IN Texas,

Dallas, Tex, May 3l.-Reports from
1854 counties in Texas and approx
mately all of Oklahoma and Indian
territory received here, show falling
off in the oats and wheat crops OF
what is known as the Texas grain
belt of fully rs per cent, as compared
with the yield of 1900. Enough OF
these grains will not be raised for
home consumption and seeding. The
drought of the early season caused
part of the damage. The green bug
or aphis did the rest.

Blanche Bates

The story of last Monday night at
the Columbia Theater was one of sue
cess, triumph and enthusiasm. The re-
appearance of Blanche Bates, whose
fair fame has gone out in the land,
was taken by everyone as a moment
Gus occasion, and wonderful audience
! gathered to do her homage. Drawn
| by the magnetism of her name, it was
thrilled by the magnetism of her act
! ing, and rendered to her the largess of
| it's love in garlands and cheers. No
such crowd has greeted an actor or
actress in San Francisco for a space
of months, and this in spite Of the mi
grafton of many to the mountains and
sea. Blanche Bates brought them back
by the score, and [ am sure they are
not sorry for having come. 1 have said
the night was one of success, triumph
and enthusiasm, but it was, above all,
| a night of pleasure-pleasure that was
given and received and felt In common
by actress and auditor. Miss Bates
must have been very happy, and ev
eryone was happy for her and with
her. She returned appreciation for ap-
probation, in a. graceful speech, or
should say, verbal acknowledgment
that was as sincere and spontaneous as
her acting, and almost as pleasing.
The applause came in a great volume
at the end Of every scene IN which she
took part, and better yet, there was
every now and then little gusts of ap-
prevail that seemed to be wrung from
the audience by the vivid flashes Of
genuine emotion with which she flu
mined her role. Impressive as was her
strength and grasp, I am even more
Impressed by her potentialfty than by
the excellence of her present achieve
claUprnnSS has
long a known quantity, but she has
developed depth and passion IN way
that bespeaks a sturdy growth, which
has not yet reached its finality. One
feels that while she has outstripped so
many, the art that for others would
be mature is, in her case, but the
resultant of what the biologists call
a mutation period Blanche Bates still
has a future.-San Francisco News

DOGS ON OUTPOST Duty

The employment of dogs on outpost
duty in South Africa will be watched
with much interest. Among the an
clients dogs were trained in considera-
BILE numbers for the purposes of war,
and mention is made of them by Plu-
tarch, Pliny and other writer's The
Romans kept dogs in towers on forth
fcations in order that no enemy should
approach unobserved, while the
knights of st. John employed them on
picket duty, and patrols were always
accompanied by them. The mastiffs of
the Knights of Rhodes knew a Turk
from a Christian by the smell. Then
there is the spaniel which saved the
Dutch republic by waking William the
Silent during the night attack on Mons.
Many nations are training dogs, espe-
cially Germany, which has devoted
nearly twenty years to training and
experimenting, and employs them as
sentries and to search for the wounded.

TO BE WE'LL DRESSED.


Don't pin your black hat on with a
white pin, and don't use a heavy, far
ing, ornate one. 1t may be the one
Earring note in an otherwise pretty
! toilet.
Don't buy cheap gloves, or, if you
buy them, don't wear them on the
street They always look their quality
and price, and they are dear at the
cheapest.
Don't carry the handkerchief in evil
dence on the street in front of the
bodice or stuck under the belt. For
merly handkerchief was for show. 1t
is now more generally for use; besides,
you might lose it.
Don't go on the street with the tail
or hem of your gown frayed and soiled.
It is not an attractive sight to mascu-
line eyes, and you are leSsening there
by the days of usefulness of the gown.
Keep your skirt we'll brushed, and the
binding neatly in place.
Don't put up your hair so that the
end Of every pin shows. Use as few
pins as possible, and cover the head
well with the hair. A head bristling
or glittering with pins is not attractive.
Don't wear rubbed or unkempu shoes
on the street, fancying they do not
show. They do, and a few moments
devoted to sewing on buttons and pol
ishing adds very much to your general
appearance of neatness.
Don't, if you use a little touch of
makeup, use it carelessly. A careful
touch sometimes improves, but care
less one invites ridicule.
Don't carry the gloves in the hands.
Put them on. twill improve your ap-
pearance and be less trouble. Don't
wear them unbuttoned.
Don't trust to pins to hold things In
place. They often come out at unex-
pected and inconvenient times. Hooks
and buttons, sewed on firmly, are more
desirable.

ONLY ONE VETO AND
THAT Is QUICKLY
SUSTAINED.
Continued from Page IL

the look of disgust which settled over
his classic features when he found that
the session was over has been equalled
by nothing seen during the two ses-
sions But he could do nothing, and
the bill went into a desk to rest until
this morning.
IN THE SENATE.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the messages in the Senate Senator
Achi arose and reported upon the visit
of the committee to the Governor. He
then moved that the action in regard to
the veto be sustained, Senator Kalauo-
kalani seconding the motion. The mo-
ton carried unanimously, after some
explanation by Senator Brown.
Mr.. Brown then began an explanation
of the status created by the recommen-
dations of the Governor. He said that
the duty of the Legislature. in the face
of the extension of the session, was to
meet to discuss and pass any appropria-
ton measures. The most important, he
thought, was the one to provide for
the use of the money which may be re-
ceived under any loan which may be
authorized. The bill, as introduced by
him, he said, had been Indefinitely post
poned, and this meant that there could
be no action on it now. He said he did
not see how what the Governor asked
could be done. The only way out, in
his opinion, was to await the action of
the House, and then there would be
suggested a method. He concluded by
saying that he did not want any extra
session or any extension of this one, as
he had enough of Legislatures to do
him the rest of his life.
Senator White began by saying that
he did not see how anything was to be
done with the matter since it had been
Indefinitely, postponed. He placed the
blame on the Acting Governor for not
seeing that the items of unpaid bills
were put into the appropriation bills
and he then moved to adjourn sine die.
There was some further discussion, but
there was no action taken and the SEN
ate adjourned until this morning.
