There is no reason why an agricultural
college should not train student for a
farm. as law school trains the lawyer, or
medical school the doctor. For some
reason the agricultural college as a rule
has not made farming attractive. North

Whether or not the agricultural college
makes farming attractive must be left for
those engaged in the craft to say, but It is
certain that those colleges do train for
practical farming, as well as law schools

more, a large percentage Of the graduates

FAVOR ARBITRATION TREATY
1t Applies Only to Republics of the
Eastern Hemisphere.

Washington, January THE senate
committee on foreign, relations today
authorized Senator Lodge to report
favorably the general International ar
bitration treaty, recommended by the
Pan-American conference held at the
city of Mexico last winter. The treaty
is on the lines of The Hague treaty,
but applies only to the republics OF the
Eastern Hemisphere. It provides a
tribunal for settling disputes as 10
boundary lines and claims and also
over other questions concerning which
nations may differ. The opinions was
quite general that favOfa BILE action up
on the agreement at this time by the
United States would have a good effect
upon the settlement of the differences
between Venezuela and the European
creditors of that nation.
An interesting fact in connection
with the preparation of the treaty is
that the Venezuelan representative in
the conference refused upon the in
struction of his government to partici-
pate in the formulation of the docU-
IneQt.

tanning the distinctive features of their
customs. The flags and other emblenis
Of the state of Clutch were carried on
camelS and elephants, accompanied by
armed men on stills, while Arab ir-
regulars danced past the viceroy to the
music OF their own instruments. The
famous gold and silver guns of the

past on an elephant carriage. The
martial rajaputs were clad in military
arnor
State bards, camel, kettle drums,
richly caparisoned elephants and horses

sented by large soldierlike bodies OF
men armed with maces, spears, ma tch-
locks and hand grenader. Each contin-
gent was headed by an elephant bear
ing gorgeous howdah, in one of which
the sacred book of the Sikhs occupied
the place Of honor. The book was
guarded by the chief priest. The ven-
cradle chief Nabha, he escorted by
men mounted on richly caparsoned
horses are accompanied by hounds and
hawks, was a striking feature of the
display, which for wealth and color
ing, diversity of components and num-
Der of spectators may be considered
to have been the most brilliant of the

Pittsburg, Pa, January 7.-As a re-
train and the rear end of a freight
train, on the Monongahela division of
the Pennsylvania railroad tonight at
Cochrane station, just above Duquesne,
seven men are dead, one is dying, and
dye others injured.
The dead are: c. Z. Strout, baggage
master, Elizabeth accommodation
home Wood; G. NJ. Bookner, brakeman
Of accommodation, Pittsburg; John
Stewart, passenger, residence unknown;
two foreigners, killed outright, two un-
known foreigners, died on the way to
hospital
The injured are: T. D. Cook, conduc-
tor, accommodation, probably die be-
fore morning; Sam SullahOwsky. shouI-
der blade fractured; Peter Kimensky
burned; John L. Smith, seriously m
jured; Mike ChOwick, slightly injured;
Mike Gentil, slightly injured.
The passenger train in the wreck was
the West Elizabe accommodation,
which left Pittsburg at 3:2O p. m. 1t
was on time and had clear track, ac-
cOrding to the signals displayed. At
the siding at COchrane. it ran into the
rear car of 8n extra freight which had
taken the switch, but failed to clear the
main line.
The officials of the road attribute the
disaster to the failure of Patrick
Quinn, the rear brakeman of the freight
to see that his train had fully cleared.
Up to IL p. m. Quinn has not been To-
Gated. When the passenger train came
along the cabOOse of the freight over
leaped the main track enough to catch
the tender of the passenger engine,
which was forced back upon the COM
binatiou baggage and smoking car
with terrific force. The thirteen pas
sengers were jammed against the rear
end of the car into almost q solid mass.
Three of the victims were apparently
killed outright. two of the other four
were literally roasted to death. and the
two who died on the way to the hos
pital were so badly burned that recOg-
aition was almost impossible.
Immediately after the impact, fire in
the stove in the smoker communicated
to the wreck, and the victims were tor
tured beyond description. All of the
victims were badly burned. Conductor
Cook was found unconscious under the
Charred body of Baggage Master
Strout He is so badly hurt that he
can hardly live the night through.
Strange to say not a truck except the
tender left the track, the passengers
in the coaches being thus protected
from harm. No others outside of the
smoker were injured and the tracks
were cleared within Il short time after
the accident.
