WORLD SHOULD INTERVENE,

The horrible stories Of inhumanity !
that are now coming from Port Arthur !
ought to be enough TO make the civil !
lzel nations of the world come togeth- /
er ag one ana force the belligerents 10 I
arbitrate. When men become SO en- |
RACED that they can shoot each Other /
down by the hundreds day after day, |
and d sregarding the feelings OF mercy |
ana the demands of civilization Let |
the wounded lie in their tracks on the
battlefield until they thirst to death
Or starye, refns ng to give sustenance

President Roosevelt would lose no
votes if he would respond to the petit
ton of the InterParI amentary union
al st. Louis and call The Hague cor
ference TO reassemble. He might be
criticized by the more extreme para
san Democratic press. but the great
mass of the people would appiand the
act. for they place humanity above
party
1t Is almost impossible TO read the
following sickening dispatch which
was sent ont In the Associated Press
dispatches yesterday from Port Arthur
land then believe that tbs is the much
Wanted twentieth century civilization;
In consequence of the fact that
flags of truce are ignored, numbers OF
Japanese dead who have been lying on
the stones of the hills of the north
east defenses for weeks are still I'M
buried, and the stencil in Port Arthur
! from the decomposing bodies, when

almost IN ndurable Russian soldiers
who are in some eases posted only
so PAGES from the heaps of decaying
dead, have constantly to wear over
their noses handkerchiefs soaked in
camphor. as otherwise they would be
unable to remain at their posts"
Referring TO an attack by the Japan
csc on one Of the hills near the be-
sieged city. in which hundreds were
wounded. the same spatch says:
For days afterwards wounded men
in this area raised fluttering handker-
chiefs in their hands in pleas for help.

ture out 10 give succor
within a week the last arm had
made its last unregarded prayer for
help. and shambles was a quiet but a

THE BELLS AND THE LIGHTS.

Captains, What make you so lar Ger
the foam
When the bells in the harDor are
ringing Of home?
When the melody swells
From the sea singing bells,
Ringing of heavdn and singing OF
home!
Captains. what make you where wild
the wrecks roam,
When the lights in the harbor are
leading you home!
The beautiful lights
In the Swallowed nights,
Lighting loves heaven and leading
you home!
CAPTAINS! steer straight from the
dim shores unknown,
Where the ovejreams are sweetest
where Love claims his own.
DER the storm ami the foam
Hear the bells ringing Home
Ringing and singing of heaven and
home.
}, bellsl ring your sweetest when
darkness appears.
and we see not the lights through
the rain of our tears!
Ring DER billow and blast;
Home at last! Home at last!'--
Ringing and singing of heaven and
home.

Fumes Sucked into Pit from Out

The victims were Austrians. There were
about twenty-five men In the mine and
all but four were rescued. though they
were all In bad shape and two Ameri'
cans are likely to die. The cause OF the
disaster was most peculiar. A small
building about 16x2O burned down at the
mouth Of the mine. The air shaft from

the burning shanty was torn away and
rescuers rushed into the mine, but a.
ready two had succumbsd to the heat
and smoke and others were In . dying
condition. One more died while on the
way out and another after they had
reached the fresh air. The men were
not burned In any way. II II supposed

Of New Mexico and ex-Gov. Franklin
Murphy of Arizona. who met In Chicago

Washington fighting the measure and Mr.
Murphy was on his way to the capital
TO work against its passage. They say
the people of New Mexico and Arizona
are opposed to the bill because 1t would
rob the territories Of their identity. Both
territories are ambitious to become
States, but they desire to be individual
commonwealth and object to any mer-
ger. If Congress passes the joint state
hood bill. a. now seems probable. Gov.
Otcro says the people will reject the con-
stitution offered them Mt special cleo.
