TIE HAGUE PEACE TREATY
Senate Votes Unanimously to Rat
ify the Compact Relating to
the Conduct Of War.
THE CAPTURE OF AeulSALoo DISCUSSED
His Action Declared to he in the Line
of Honorable Naturalization
Raised Not Intended to Prevent
Favorable Action-sOme Of the
Provisi0ns of the Article.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
spent an hour in executive session
Friday on the convention growing
out of The Hague peace conference
| relating to the conduct of war on
land and sea. and finally ratified the
agreement without a division. The
discussion turned entirely on the
conduct of the war i'll the Philippines,
and related especially to Gen. Fun
ston's capture of Aguinaldo. Sen
ator Teller inquired whether if this
treaty had been in force at the time
the method of Aguinaldo's capture
the provision in the treaty relating
to the conduct of spies and said that
he did not mean himself to say that
Gen. Funston's course would not have
been regular, but merely to secure
the opinion of senators who had given
attention to the treaty and who also
were familiar with the details of
Aguinaldo's capture. Senator Burton
replied to the inquiry, speaking es-
pecially for Gen. Funston, and said
that he was sure the proceeding on
the generals part had been not only
humane, but that it had been in ac-
cordance with the rules of civilized
warfare. 1t was true, he said, that
Gen. Funston and his force had acted
somewhat in the capacity of spies,
hut what they had done had been in
the line of honorable warfare. SEN
etor Hoar also spoke at some length
n ~, tho
He referred to Aguinaldo's capture
and said that he believed the adop-
ton of the treaty would have tend
ency towards elevating the conduct
of modern warfare. Some of the
members of the committee on foreign
relations said briefly that the ratifi-
cation of the treaty would place this
country in accord with the highest
thought of the times, and expressed
the hope that the treaty would re-
ceive the unanimous support of the
senate. Those who raised questions
apropos of the discussion disclaimed
any intention to prevent favorable
action.
Parties to the Treaty.
The countries party to the treaty
are Germany, Austria, Belgium, Den
mark, Spain, the United States, Mex
leo, France, Great Britain, Greece,
Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Montene-
gro, Netherlands, Persia, Portugal,
Roumania, Russia, servia, Sweden,
and Norway, Turkey and Bulgaria.
The provisions of the treaty are bind
ing only on the contracting powers
in case of war between two or more
of them, and cease to be binding
when mountaineering power joins
either of the belligerents.
The most important feature of the
treaty, the contents of which have
been generally known, is that pro-
hibiting the use of ''dum-dum" bull
lets. Among other things specially
prohibited are:
Same ProhihitfOns.

Mules Banished From Zion.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A large, raw-boned mule, attached to
a light runabout went tearing through
Zion City yesterday morning, pursued
by a victoria, in which sat John Alex
ander Dowie arrayed in the vestments
of Elijah II.
The two went up Shiloh boulevard,
across into the square that is to be
the site of the reproduction of Solo
mons Temple, and then down past the
general stores before the general over
seer's roans overlook the scraWny
beast.
"Who are you, to desecrate this sa-
cred city with the presence of a mule?"
shouted Dowie, with wrath.
I'm a roofer working for E. N. Bic
gler," came the reply
Turn that abomination of the devil
out of the city limits. Remove that
barren monstrosity where the people
of God cannot see it. l will have no
mules in Zion City"
The roofer refused. Dowie called
Mayor Harper and his chief of police.
These demonstrated with their leader,
for they liked to see the mule go
through the streets, trotting like a
racer, or running with even better
speed than their own horses. But
Dowie was obdurate, so the mule was
driven to the outskirts of the town,
and Biegler's employe waited for the
head of the firm to arrive from Chi
eago.
Biegler is proud of that mule, which
has a history. 1t was purchased by
him some years ago because it GOULD
trot, and this feat made it - attrac-
tive to Constable Louis Greenberg-he
of notorious fame-that one day he got
a. note signed by Biegler, and which
was ten hours overdue, and on 1T took
the beast.
Suits and countersuits ensued, but
the mule came back to its owner, chief
" because Greenberg could not pre-
vent the animal running away to Beg
lers stable whenever it got chance,
for Biegler's children gave it candy,
and Greenberg's didn't.
When Biegler heard of Dowie's order
he went to Temple cottage for an in
terview. He has done roofing work
for the "healer" for many years, and
when he was awarded the contract
at Zion City sent the mule there to
facilitate his moving from building to
building.
This city will tolerate nothing that
is prohibited in the Bible" said Dowie,
land | will give you twenty-four hours
TO get the mongrel out of here and so
far away that it's brazen bray cannot
disturb our rest and insult our peo-
pie"
II don't happen to be a member of
zion" pleaded Biegler. but If re-
member rightly, doctor, there were
many mules mentioned in the Old Tes-
lament"
Mules? Ugh, not one. Those were
iackasses. You can bring even Ba-
iaan's ass here. but I want no mules"
That decree is now part of Zion
Citv's law. The police have been or
dered to turn back all mules that try
~ artar its confines. The trotting
beast Of Biegler is on its way back to
Chicago. and when the roofer does
/ more work for Dowie he will have TO
use horses or have his contract can
celed.

But let US relegate the original to

When Dan Emmett wrote 1.-The Orig

that in 60 years it would be so pulled

chants this week, but whose home is at

herds of fine Red Polled Angus and Short
horn cattle.
81 made special note of the condition Of
stock in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa during my present trip aAd they are
thin everywhere. They are thin. In fact, in
both form and numbers, for tina herdsmen
are about cleaned out. owing to the ex-
tensive selling OF the past months, and
that, l think. is a principal reason for the
price going up. 1t should not be forgotten
that the enlargement Of our territory, re-
sulting from the trouble in the Philippines,
is beginning TO make q difference in the
ratio of supply and demand We on the
Pacific coast are in a position to know
that the trade abroad is not only as great
now as II was during the war. but greater
a statement which has reference, not TO
meat alone, but to hay, of which we are
shipping great quantities to the Sandwich
islands and the Philippines. as we'll as to
Alaska; and to dairy products, the business
in which is assuming proportions so vast
that California bids fair to soon become a
leading dairy state. And hour-well, in
stockton alone there are Ave mills with
capacities ranging from 1000 to 5000
barrels per day and at least half their
output is shipped"
