Paris. May S.-Baron d 'Estournelles de

while l am convinced King Edward

have the happiest effect on the relations
between the two countries and will dem

lesson. Only year ago Europe sought
to let The Hague court die a silent death,
but President Roosevelt saved the tri

United States; second. by obliging Ger
many, Great Britain and Italy to take
their Venezuelan complications to The
Hague court. Finally, Andrew Carnegie

POLITICAL.

The vote on Recorder was the largest
ever cast in Pittsburg-56,6 600; and
Hays majority over Haymaker was
1871.
Recorders elect Hays and Wyman of
Pittsburg and Allegheny, and several
other politicians Of the two cities of the
Biglow faction were in consultation at
Cambridge Springs, last week and this,
over the division of the spoils.
When it is learned that there are be-
tween three and four hundred jobs pay
ing more than 5000 year in Pittsburg
alone the total reaching well over half a
million, and these outside the police,
fire and white wings branches, and the
Controllers office, some conception may
be had of the motive behind the stress
of the late campaign in those cities.
City jobs says the Dispatch are general
" regarded a good deal in the light of
the famous declaration that public of
fee is a private snap" The pay is above
the average for the work performed, the
hours are short, the work light and tn ,
opportunity for attending ball games
unequaIed in any other occupation.
