senor Don Manuel Axpiroz. pr. D. Josephus Jitta: Sweden, vice-Judge c. E. Fahlcratz: Dr. F. Meili: the United Judge Simon E. Baldwin of 
 Former Secretary of State John w. Foster. LII. D., was introduced ana made the principal address on the sub- ject of international arbitration and The Hague tribunal. He said In part:
 Tt has been reported In the press that the Secretary of the Navy has an- nounced himself as in favor of . navy equal to the greatest navy Tn the world. trust he has been misquoted Our government should hold itself ready to enter into an agreement for international disarmament and not to the increase of the navy. This coun- try should hold itself to other and far more peaceful pursuits in the settle ment of strife than to the making of implements of destruction and death"
 He then entered into an explanation of the failure of The Hague conference to effect an agreement on the subject of international disarmament. He ex- pressed deep regret that the fruits of war made necessary the permanent fn- crease of the American army and called attention to the prospective large in- crease in the annual expenditures of the government for the navy.
 senor Don Emiido yelasco of Mexico and J. H. Ralston, ILL. D. of Wash- inrton. D. C.. followed with discus- sions of the subject presented by Mir. Foster. Senor velasco said In part:
 The idea of international arbitra- ton is not the creation of one ma1 nor of any set of men however emil nent they may be. but 1t is the result of an universal sentiment. 1nterna- tionai arbitration has at the present time three forms: First, arbitration in its nature transitory and for de- termined matters: Second, compromis- ory clauses inserted in treaties to de- eide the questions which the interpre- tation and the execution of the treaty may give rise to third. permanent and obligatory abitration. Treaties of ar- bitration in these three forms have in- creased in number progressively, very especially in the first two forms. The last form is the one which arouses the most resistance and various attempts made to establish permanent arbitrn~ ton have proven failures.
 There are two difficulties which beset arbitration in these present times, the resistance on the part of some governments to permanent arbi- trdtioh anu thV< V<oiihouieS VI eA'ine '1 dicial form to question of a political nature. The tribunal of The Hague. created by the collective action of the nations, with its character of perma- nency. and with rules of procedure pre- viously defined, has in it's support a great moral force and presents all the advantages and all the facilities which constituted tribunals offer. It Is a tribune open to all who ask its Judgements; and its examples and it's practices will be an inducerhent to all nations to entrust to 1t their difficult ties for settlement"
 The convention adjourned until to-
 morrow morning. -'s

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.
Highest Death Rate On Record From
 Disease.


 New York. Sept. 2S.-Greater New York is at present threatened with what may be the severest epidemic of typhoid fever in its history.
 Not only are the number of typhoid cases reported for the three weeks of September ending last Saturday greater than that of any month last year, but since the beginning of the summer the death rate has been so much higher than formerly that the health depart ment Is now thoroughly alarmed and Is bending every effort toward checking the disease.
 When 1t Is considered that the spread of typhoid last year was greater than 1t has been for many years, the grav- ity of the present situation Is indi- cated.
 For the three weeks just ended the total number of cases reported at the Health Department was Al. The fa- talities numbered 74. or a death rate of nearly 20 per cent. Last year during the worst month. that of October, the largest number of cases in New York was 324 and the highest death rate at any time during the year was 13.4 per cent.

 Fast Battle.
 Philadelphia Sept 2S.-Before crowd that filled the National Athlet- ic Club tonight Hughey McGovern and Tommy Murphy of New York fought six of the fastest rounds ever wit messed in this city. Under the law no decisions can be rendered here. but 1t was the opinion of the spectators that the bout was a good draw.

 Murphy was the aggressor at the start, but MoGovern did not seek to avoid him at any time, and the ex- change of blows was rapid and severe all the time.

Not Nocinil.t.a Nnrix.

William Manly, national secretary of the Socialist party issued a statement today in which he says:
 '-The Socialist party has no share in the responsibility incurred by the cir- culation of the fictitious letter said to have been written to Michael DonneIiy by President Roosevelt. The letter bears on it's face the evidence of it's own spuriousness, for even If the Presi- dent entertained the views attributed to him 1t would have been eminentiy tactless and foolish for him to have given them out in that form at this time.
 Every piece of literature issued by the national Socialist party bears ths imprint of the National Committee and we are unable to accept any responsi- bility its issuance may bring. Our indictment Is of the capitalist system and we can find enough of truth to charge against 1t and both old parties without resorting to dishonest or questionable methods to make our case"

 Its Publication. Letter Printed as Coming From Rssss- velts Pea Against Unionism Refuted by Michael Don-
 nelly and Socialists.

New York, Sept ss.-rhe letter al. legged to have been received by Michael J. Donnelly, the leader of the meat strike. purporting to be one sent by President Roosevelt was copied from an editorial in The New York Evenins Post of August 1.
 The Evening Post says today: The letter appeared as an editorial in ths Evening Post of August 1. and was ex- plicitly stated to be a letter which tho President might have written with advantage to himself and the country. In other words 1t was confessedly an imaginary letter written for the sake of bringing out certain truths in re- gard to the meat strike"
 The Evening Post also says: We had no thought of course, of being apfs to make a presentabie imitation of the Presidents literature. and as the arti- cie was at the time commented on and reproduced somewhat extensively fin ths press, we never dreamed of It's ever coming to figure as Campaign for gery.'"

LovEMAN 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.


 NEW YORK, Oct 1O.-A net advance of IS points has been scored today without any sensational activity excitement, but with underlying strength which was un- mistakeable The news came from every direction in the South, steady demand from exporters to fill October shipments. At most points prices hc higher so that 1t ts not surprising to find future shorts ner- and disposed to cover. Fall River ex- poets to see the end of the strike within a week and to test the temper of the opera ttves who have shown strong signs of dis eatisfa ction lately the Seaconnett mills will throw open their gates within a few days to start at the reduced wage rate proposed eleven weeks ago. There is every indication that enough hands will report for duty to start the spindles cn full time and other mills are prepared to follow as soon the first break takes place in the ranks of the strikers. Colder weather in the South serves to keep before the public the danger of frost ever present at this season of the year but the foundation for the present faith in cotton and the hope of much higher prices Is the knowledge of the forward sales for October shipment have been enormous and that natural move ment from first hands will not be suffi- cient to meet exporters needs They will thus be forced draw out cotton by ad- Vsrcing prices to a level attractive to the holder. Such a position is naturally tempt ing to manipulator and all signs point to the probability of bull movement with
