Ihe impression she received was that
she had never seen any one quite so
determined looking in her life; but she
liked his face, and though him quite as
good looking as his sister.
She did not trouble to bestow further
thought upon him, and little imagined
that she had made very deep impress

Gus had already taken complete pos

Wilfred to bring up the rear.
Wilfred was most certainly bent on
doing his best to please and interest
his companion, but Millie was not in q
very amiable temper.
First, she was disappointed at not be-

MOVE TOWARD PEACE
ANGLo-AMERICAN ARBITRA-
 TToN TREATY PROPOSED.
Meeting at the Home of John B. Eos ter Designed to Awaken In- terest in and Demand
 For It.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The awakening throughout the United States of the popu- lar sentiment which, it Is hoped. will de- velop into national demand for an ar bitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain, was the object of a gathering this afternoon at the residence of Gen. John B. Foster, former Sec. etary
 of State. It is understood the proposi- tion has the hearty approval of the Pres ident. It was arranged for meeting of the National Arbitration Association m this city, January IS, next. Regarding the scope of the plan which Is to be push- ed vigorously in the hope of securing at an early date the conclusion of an arbi-
 tration treaty following the general lines or the Hsy-Pauncefote treaty of 1902, the Associated Press is authorized to make this statement.
 Tn April, 1896. a notable conference of the friends of international arbitration
 was held in Washington, attended by prominent and representative citizens from all parts of the United States. That conference declared in favor of an arbi- onftreaty between the United States and Great Britain and 1t was followed in January, 1897, in the signing ot such treaty by Secretary Hay and Sir Julian
 Pauncefote. The treaty failed by a close vote to receive the two-thirds majority required for it's notifications.
 "It is understood that prominent among the objections urged against the treaty was the complications growing out of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the contro- versy over the Alaska boundary. These having been disposed, it is felt that the present Is favorable time to reawaken public sentiment in favor of a new arbi- tration treaty with Great Britain. They point out that France has already taken the lead of us in this matter by the con- vention recently made with Great Britain when the United States as a kindred na- ton should have set the example. At a meeting of the Executive Committee ap- pointed by the conference of 1896. held last week in New York, it was decided to call meeting of the National Arbitration Committee in Washington on January 15 next to take this subject into considera- tion.
 It is learned that Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the new British Ambassador, who has just arrived in Washington, Is an earnest advocate of international arr bitration. While he has not associated in the movement in this country, it can be stated that Sir Mortimer may be relied on to bring about in Great Britain the result which the National Arbitration Committee in the United States is work ing for.

Premier yetroff Explains the Cause
 of Macedonian Troubles.

Sofia, Dec. 3.-In the Sobranje (National Assembly, today, during the debate on the address in reply to Prince Ferdinand s speech from the throne. Premier Petroft explained the policy of the Government. Re said that the Government had taken measures to place the Bulgarian forces in a position to defend the country's in- terests which his predecessors had aban- doned to the discretion of a foreign pow CT. The Government was doing its utmost to avoid war.
 Premier Petroff said that the Macedo- nian question was created by the treaty of Berlin, but that since then the situa- ton had become worse, driving the youth of the country to emigration or revolu- ton. The refugees today numbered 150, 900 Unfortunately, said the Premier, the Porte, instead of endeavoring by straight forward measures to efface the effect of the situation on state affairs had suc- ceeded in making certain governments be- Iieve that Bulgaria was responsible for the revolution in Macedonia.
 Owing to the representations of certain great powers, Bulgaria had called on the reserves in order to prevent bands of gympathizers with the revolution of cross ing the frontier while the measures adopt ed by Turkey had forced the Bulgarian Government to incur other extraordinary army expenditures. Fortunately the Mac edonian question was now approaching a solution

THE PLANT MILLIONS.
Believed Litigation Over Them is
 Near an End.

Near an End.
 New Haven. Conn.,. Dec. 3.-Litigation in this State over the $17. .OOO, 900 estate of the late Henry Bradley Plant will be ended, if the petition filed to-day shall be granted by Judge Cleveland at a hearing December IS. The petitioners are Charles E. Hoadley, Emma B. Hoadley. Horace G. Hoadley of Waterbury Conn.,, who have been in litigation with the ex- ecutors of the estate for more than a year and Morton F. Plant of Groton, Conn.,, George H. Tilley of Darlen, Conn, and Mrs. Margaret J. Plant of New York, widow of the testator. Although Mrs. Plants name appears as one of the pe- titioners, it Is not signed to theg peti- ton. but the court understood that to be a mere oversight.
 The petition sets forth the history of the litigation from the death of MT. Plant in 1899 and details the main points of his will.
 Under it Messrs. Hoadley and Emma B. HOadley were recipients of an annuity. When the executors won the New York courts approval to the claim that Mr. Plant was a resident of that State they placed with a trust company a fund to secure the payment of the annuity to the Hoadleys. Contest was brought by the latter in Connecticut to prevent the further removal of the estate and also a suit was brought praying for the re- moral of the executors on the ground that they were acting illegally.
 The fact that the Hoadleys now join in a position which asks that the probate court of New Haven district declare that MT. Plant was at the time of death a resident of New York and that proceed ings in this State be made anciiliary to those in New York indicates that a set- tlement has been effected and that the suits brought by the Hoadleys will not be pressed

 Guest of Honor.

London, Dec. ar. P. OConnor gave a dinner at the National Liberal Club to- night in'honor of William Jennings Bryan at which a number of Irish and Liberal members of the House of Commons and several representatives of the English and American press were guests.
 There were no set spechs but Mir. Bryan in a purely informal but eloquent talk referred to his experiences in England: told how he had profited by his visit and how he had been impressed by the way in which the people here devoted themselves to the welfare of their country.
 Mir. Bryan said the ambition and pride of the people of a country should be not in saying "our army and our navy are the best in the world" but in having the best government in the world and in be- ing able to say that "our government stands for justice and humanity and Is So recognised in all parts of the world
 To that end, Mir. Bryan said, he would devote his life and hoped to bequeath to his children a legacy greater than an ac- cumulationl of wealth.

 Tn addition to the reports of its regular correspondents the Bureau of Statistics has had the benefit of an investigation of the effect of the boil weevil upon the cot ton crop of Texas for 1908, conducted under the direction of the chief of the division of entomology. The results of this investigation have been given due weight in the present report and the de- tails will be published later by the divis- ion of entomology. Through the courtesy of the officials of the census office the department has also had access to the estimates made by the census agents. as to the amount of cotton remaining unginned. These estimates were turned over to the department too late, however. to receive full considera- tion and they were. therefore, not used in making the present estimate.
