All Legislators.
THE Interparliamentary Union which
they represent Is composed Of members
OF national legislative bodies who believe
that peace between the several nations is
just as desirable as peace between indi-
viduals Of one and the same nation. and
that peace can be secured and main
tained by exactly the same means.
namely. by arbitration They hold. in
other words, that differences between
nations can. and should, be settled by
the arbitrament of an international tri-
bunal. the same as differences between
individuals In all civilized countries are
now settled by the arbitrament Of local
courts.
"If l were permitted. on behalf of
my coLedgues, TO further accentuate
this bellef, / would express IL in this
way: Inc necessity of social order re-
quires a citizen to bow to the adjudica-
ton OF the differences with his neigh

cloak which shrouded him merged
him hopelessly into the shadow. Only

weighted with massaye rings.

affably: "As you did not favor us
with your presence among the Wise
Men, my lord, it is likely that you
\ do not know of the good luck which
has befallen our cause. This prudent
Earl, who before the battle had con

his weight against us, has found his
victory so without relish that he has
become our sworn ally.

Gamer took a step forward. Hesltat-

unsheathed his sword and stretched
it out. point foremost.

other way does my hand go forth to-
ward a traitor"
The sternness that had underlain
the kings manner rose slowly and
spread over the whole surface Of his
person, as he drew himself up in
towering offense.
Lord of Ivarsdale, bethink yourself
to whom you speak,
King of the Angles, the right Of
open speech has belonged to my race
as long as the right to the crown has
belonged to yours. So my fathers

Gil tree, and so l shall speak to you

The kings wounded dignity bled
in his cheeks; he was stung into a
movement that brought him to his
feet. ...
This is insufferable!" he cried.
1t was evident that the crisis had

their hands upon their swords. At an

STILL ATTACKS.
Fort Arthur the Object Of Japanese
Vigor.

Che Foo. Aug. 4.--The steamer WI
chow. which has just arrived here
from Niuchwang, brings further de-
tails of the latest Japanese assault on
Port Arthur. When nearing Che Foo,
the Wuchow picked up junk carrying
seven men, four women and one boy,
who left Port Arthur yesterday. They
reported that the fighting north Of the
city of Port Arthur occurred at Wolf
hill, and was sanguinary, resulting in
the repulse OF the Japanese. This hill
Is situated near the railroad, and eight
trains were kept busy bringing the
wounded soldiers into the city. The
wounded men from the east forts
reached Port Arthur in all kinds of
vehicles, many, however, coming afoot,
dragging shattered limbs.
The Russians unite in declaring that
the fortress will never fall, but they ex-
pect that scarcely building will be
left In the city where now there is
scarcely whole pane of glass.
The Wuchow confirms the statement
that the fighting abated during the
night of July %, but had not complete

A French chef who prepared snow
like dish for the Due de Chartres in
1774 Is said to have been the first to
make that cool luxury known as ice
cream. Lord Bacon was possessed Of
the knowledge that there was a
process of congealation by means Of
snow and salt; but to him this was a
scientific fact. and he little dreamed
of the idea that in after years this
congealatlon would prove such de-
lightful refreshment. Iced drinks and
water ices were known to the Paris
ian epicures fully century and half
before they were introduced into Eng
land. These dainties, 1t Is thought,

PACKERS TRUST BUSTED?
Secretary Of the international Butch
ers Association Says II is.


Chicago, aug. 4.-Homer ID. Cali.
international secretary Of the Butch
ers' organization, said yesterday:
The greatest feature of the strike,
Is that the meat trust has been
broken. Instead of the packers dis
rupting the unions. the disintegratIon
of one of greatest combinations the
world has ever seen has already set
in. For ten years, from 1890 to 1900,
the consolidation Of the meat compan-
| les was carried on and from 1,740
packing plants in this country the
number was reduced to 760.
Now the tide will set In the other
way. The packers know that they
have already lost control Of a large
part Of their business and that the
live stock dealers will do all that is
possible to assist in the defeat Since
the strike the independent plants Of
Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Ind
annapolis, Pittsburg and Springfield,
Mass. have been working night and
day. This tsade will never be recov-
cred by the trust.
"The public Is supporting the indie
pendent plants because Of the damag-
ing evidence secured by the govern?
ment against the meat monopoly"
