FRATERNIzING in THE PHILIPPINES

beginning to heal in the Philippines is
shown by the following cordial indorse-
ment of the Iloi1o Times (American) Of
the application Of a former insurgent off,
Ger for an inspectorship in the insular
constabulary:1
Senior Epifano Conception, chief Of the
provincial police, has made an application for

PEACE PROMOTERS

The Mohonk conference, now in session
at its picturesque haunt jim the. Catskill
mountains NewnYork, began, yesterday,
the; considefation Of the subject of inter
national arbitration. :.
The resolutions adopted make an ear
nest appeal for: the cooperation of all
classes of citizens in the effort to bring
about dominant public sentiment in ia
vor of the judicial settlement of all con
troversies, International Tor otherwise. 6.
It was noted that The. Hague arbitra-
tion tribunal, which has been fully or
ganized for business for some time, had
a case before It, a question: sent up by
the United States and Mexico. This tri-
bunal has excellent ma ehfnery' for the
settlement of international disputes, but
its: docket has been almost entirely clear
of business for which it was: organized.
The Hague tribunal, however, whether
the nations choose to referSlto it their dis
.putes or not. is a continual reminder
that the way is open for a rational set
taement of differences. TT is the duty Of
all believers in arbitration to stand by it,
even If the autocrat who took the initia-
tive in the esta blishment of the court has
no use for its services and has not re-
ferred any question to its determination
: The Mohonk. conference says In it's de-
claration: Arbitration and appeals to
courts of: justice are the, only rational
methods of settling disputes between in
dividuals or .natoins which fail of direct
settlement To bring about the general
adoption of this saving principle, there
must be the wish ito have the questions
judicially settled, in the first place.
The anthracite. coal strike might have
been settled had the operators been will
ing to submit the dispute to arbitration,
but they have been unyielding from the
first. The courts are open and boards
of arbitration can readily be obtained
They don't want them. The result is the
menace of widely extended sympathetic
strike and a tie-up of business, if the
bituminous miners choose to repudiate
their agreement with the operators to
run until June, 1903.
An effective remedy in sight for these
disarrangements of business is the incor-
poration of the labor unions and appeal to
the courts for settlement of labor capital
disputes, with no cessation of work pend
Ing the judicial decision.

,w1LpFIRE IN DISMAL SWAMP
Richmond plspatch.

Norfolk, Va.-The great Dismal swamp has
again been afire to-day. but the flames were
got under control. Frightened wild animals,
as we'll as human beings, were driven from
the begggy Businesses swept by the flames.
There is no small game left in the northern
part of the swamp to speak of.
The budding vegetation was dried up. ana
nearly five square miles of the finest timber
land in the swamp were left with only
charred and blackened stun2s. the sole evil
dence of what has been worth thousands OF
dollars TO the mills
The high winds that have swept the coast
during the past few days famed the fire, and
it was only the prevailing direction OF the
gale that drove the flames outward 70 the
edge of the swamp. where they died The
flames illuanined the Sky for great distance,
and the woods near the swamp were impassa-
BILE for smoke.

they returned en- nlasse and apparently made
