Representative Samuel W. Mccall, who
presided, remarked the growing tendency

AT the afternoon session of the peace con-

secretary read a letter from Andrew Car

land, proposing plan for the attainment
OF peace. Mr.. Carnegie's proposition was:

would be triflng. A strong combination

self to the intelligent masses A committee
might be formed to consider this. If a
body of prominent men of each nation
agreed to unite in urging the cooperation
OF their respective countries in the move

The letter was warmly approved by the
convention.
Later the delegates were received at the
state house by Gov Bates. The foreign
members of the congress formed in line
first, and had the precedence at the recep-
ton. Afterward the foreigners made his
torical pilgrimage to Concord. Among the
places of interest visited were Sleepy Hol-

many distinguished Americans. including
that of United States Senator Hoar.

reports that when the steamer passed the
Island of Martinique on September ~

the Sibun at o'clock in the morning OF
the day mentioned, the volcano emitting
stupendous black clouds and balls of fire.

Early in May. 1902, Mount Pelee broke
into violent eruption. wiping out the city
of ST. Pierre and reaching other towns near
by. The loss of life on that occasion was

The four post Office grafters in
Washington have been convicted,
fined $4,000 each, and sentenced to
state prison. This is highly satisfac-
tory, but it casts the shadow of dark
suspicion that there are several other
bureaus in Washington in exactly the
same state. And it raises the ques-
ton in many minds whether the party
under which such frauds are possible
has not held office too long.
