SECRETARY HAY ADDRESSES PEACE
CONGRESS.
Agrees With TOlSfOi That Religion
Is the Remedy for War, and
Promises Government Support
for Principle of Arbitration So
Far as Practicable.

Boston, Oct. A. Secretary OF State
John Hay, representing the United
States of America, spoke the word OF
welcome to the delegates to the inter-
national peace congress which assem-
bled here during the afternoon for the
first formal meeting of the thirteenth
annual convention.
Secretary Hay traced briefly the war
history of this country and pointed out
that the country's greatest men had
been warm advocates of peace. He
agreed with Tolstoi that religion is the
remedy for war. He promised the adj
ministration's support so far as prac-
ticable, to the principle of arbitration
of such questions as may not be settled
through diplomatic negotiations. and
expressed confidence that at no distant
day the attention of the nations might
be brought to project looking toward
the return of peace in the far East.
The meeting was held in fremont
temple Before O'Clock the audito-
rum was jammed, and streams of peo-
pie were turned away from the en-
frances.
Edwin D. Mead, chairman of the
committee on organization of the peace
congress, after calling the meeting to
order, said:
eff the press of the world would
adopt and persist in the high resolve
that war shall be no more, the clangor
of arms would cease from the rising of
the sun to it's going down, and we
coulo fancy that at last our ears, no
longer stunned by the din of armies,
might hear the morning stars singing
together and all the sons of God shout
ing for joy.
"The words are not mine, but were
spoken at the international peace asso-
citation meeting at St. Louis a short
time ago by Secretary of State Hay,
and it is with these words ringing in
our hearts that we rejoice that the Sec
rotary of state is John Hay, and that
he IS with US today"

HOPS STILL CLIMB.
Twenty-Five Cents at Tacoma Witt
Few Sales.

Tacoma, Oct. Hops have reached
20 cents in this market, with a pros
pect of going even higher. This is the
highest price since 1890, when they
sold for 36 cents. Orders from London
received by buyers here several days
ago for unlimited quantities are the
cause of the rise. Notwithstanding
the high prices, practically no hops
have changed hands, growers holding
their product for a stronger rise, which
they feel is directly ahead.
"The market is unusually strong"
said one buyer. II believe hops will
go to 81 pound before we get through
with them. London buyers appear de-
termined to have hops. and the sellers
are holding so firmly that the condi-
ton can only result of booming mar
kets.'

CANAL AT SEA LEVEL.
American Engineer Makes Most I'M
pOrfanf Discovery.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-George Ehle, an
American engineer, with party of
young college graduates, in four
months has made discoveries about the
Panama canal which French engineers
failed to make in fifteen years. His
information makes it possible to solve
the battling problem of the Chages
river freshets by diverting the stream
to the Pacific coast. 1t also releases
$40. OOO,O 900 for excavating a sea level
waterway.
This announcement of the engineer
ing work thus far done by the United
States Panama canal commission, has
been made before the Chicago Press
club by Chief Engineer John F. Wal
lace, who recently returned from the
isthmus.
I'm their explorations, said the
chief engineer, Resident Engineer
George Ehle and his college lads en-
dured hardships that it took American
pluck to overcome. They spent four
months in the tropical jungle, tracing
the course and source of the Chagres
river, whose spring freshets, sometimes
forty feet high, SO far have proved an
insuperable obstacle to the sea level
canal project
By the use of data collected by the
Ehle party, Mr.. Wallace said that it
would be possible to divert the Chagres
river from the Caribbean slope to the
Pacific side of the isthmus. This
could be done at an approximate cost
of SIG, 200, 900, releasing the $40, OOO,-
600 of the $36, 900, 900 destined for the
construction of locks.

Divorces Must Wait Six Months.

Seattle, Oct. SHORTHAND can no
longer be species of Gretna Green for
divorced people from the state of Wash
ington who wish to marry within the
statutory period of six months after di-
vorce. Superior Judge Bell makes a
deciscion that if a divorced person
marries anywhere within the six
months period he or she may be pun
ished for contempt of court. In the
case at issue the defendant is cited to
appear to show cause why he should
not be adjudged in contempt. Dozens
of King county people have gone either
to Portland or Victoria in the past few
years to avoid the six months clause.
1t is this practice Judge Bell seeks to
stop.

Berkeley. CAL, Oct. 5.-Ralph NJ.
Curtis, member of the astronomical
department of the University of Cali
fornia, after series of elaborate in
