INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Or. Everett Edward Hale Is Working
70 This End.

Washington, April 9.-The supreme
court for international arbitration as a
substitute for war and to settle the
perplcxing questions which arise be-
tween the nations of the world is the
dream of Dr. Edward Everett Hale,
the chaplain of the senate. Although
50 years of age, this being his birthday,
he still is bending his energies along
these lines.
As the leader in the American move
ment toward international arbitration,
DR.. Hale sees n new hope in the COM
mittee consisting of senator's Frye,
Fairbanks and Morgan, appointed to
formulate a general scheme of practi-
cal operation and present it to the
senate. DR.. Hale, through the Massa-
chusetts commission for international
Justice, already has made plans to
carry on the work of stimulating pub
lie opinion to support the efforts of the
senators. Meetings will be held
throughout the country during the
summer.

Berlin, April s.-Swarms of locusts
have devastated the valleys in German
East Africa. tits stated that the most
terrible snow storm would not give
any idea of the numbers of the locusts.
The trees on which they settled have
broken down, and banana and null
berry trees have been stripped, even
the bark of the mulberry trees being
eaten. Scarcely green blade of leaf
has been left in the forests or on the
farms, except in the case of coffee
plants, which the locusts tried but dis
liked.

Wichita, April 9.-After a hard
fought battle on the part of both the
Hearst and the anti-Hearst democratic
leaders in session the delegates Sc
lected to the national convention will
go to st. Louis July instructed for no
one. The delegates selected, as judged
by the factions with which each took
sides during the instruction tight,
show six to be in favor of Hearst's
nomination and sixteen against the
New York journalist. AS there are no
instructions the delegates will now be,
of course, at liberty to cast their bal
lots for president for whoever they
choose. The only action taken by the
convention in recognition of William
R. Hearst was to adopt resolutions
commencing that gentleman for his
single-handed fight against the trusts
and endorsing the work that he has
done in the interest of his party.

negroes are born in the United States

ments daily to transport them.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,
The Salient Points OF Declarations OF
State Convention.

Wichita, April 1.-THE democratic
state convention adopted concise but
emphatic platform, of which salient
points are here given.
We, the democrats of Kansas, in
state convention assembled at Wichita,
make the following declaration:
We favor and endorse the lasting
principles of the democratic party as
enunciatcd in the Chicago platform OF
1896. and the Kansas City platform OF
1896. and the Kansas City platform of
the present national organization OF
the democratic party. We hereby ex-
press our appreciation and the admira-
ton for the candidate of our choice in
two great campaigns, the Honorable
w. j. Bryan
We favor the domination by the next
democratic natio. III convention of men
for president and vice president who
are in sympathy with these principles
and who supported the candidates who
represent them.
That in w. r. Hearst, of New York,
we recognize one of the foremost dem
ocrats of the nation. His uses his OPP
portunities and power in all cases in
behalf of the common people, without
counting the cost to himself. He sim
gle-handed legal contest with the coal
trust, just successfully concluded in
the supreme court, is the most signal
triumph of democratic principles since
the trusts seized the business OF the
country.
We endorse the great work he is do
ing in the interest of his party and his
and commend his example to
good democrats everywhere.

WITHOUT EXPENSE, TO NATION.
Has Cruised $4,000 In Twenty-Ons
Months, And with The President,
His Family or His Guests Ninety
Four Miles.

Washington, April 11.-Mr. Williams
Df Mississippi filed in house for repro
duction in the Congressional Record,
letter from Secretary Moody, giving
detailed history of the use of the May
flower by the president.
He says the MayHower is not, as was
stated in the criticism. ''the presidents
yacht"
"She receives her orders from the
department the same as other vessels.
In accordance with custom of long
standing, however, a vessel OF tn
navy has been at the disposal of the
president from time to time, as he may
desire it. The Mayfower has been the
vessel selected for this service, under
directions from the president that at
no time should she be diverted from
any naval duties for which she might
be needed 1t would be an injustice
to the officers and men of the May
flower to show that her sole or princi-
pal use was that of a yacht.
"The only use Of the vessel made by
the president or by his direction has
been made since the beginning OF her
present commission, June 20, 1902.
During the twenty-one months she has
cruised twenty-five thousand miles,
which is more than the average OF our
naval vessels. The president has spent
aboard her at various times total of
something less than forty hours and
has travelled in her ninety-four miles.
He has spent one night aboard her, be-
ing detained there by bad weather on
his return from review OF the nation
al guard of the state of New Jersey.
OF these forty hours, all except on one
occasion were spentin the performance
of official duties. The total time spent
on board the vessel by the presidents
family has been one week and the dis
lance travelled while they were abroad
41O miles.
All expenditure of every nature oc-
casioned by the visit of president or
any member of his family or guests
have been paid by him. The May
flower has never been held for the
presidents use, nor at any time has
any money been expended on 'refur-
nishing the ship as the presidents pri-
vate yacht nor for refitting and
repairing for the presidents personal
use, nor for keeping the Maydower at
the disposition of the president. Since
she last went into commission there
has been absolutely no change in her
interior fittings, except for the comfort
of the crew, the installation of wireless
Geographic apparatus for increased
signalling facilities, and for the in
crease of the battery by an addition
of two four inch breech loading rifles.
81 have the honor to say in closing
that, according to the best OF my
knowledge and belief, the Mayfower
has not been diverted an hour from
any naval duty for which she was
needed, nor has dollar of the public
money been expended for the pleasure
or convenience of the president or his
family or guests"

Washington, April e.-Nothing has
developed to indicate that the senate
would would take any action unfavor-

body. and it is not regarded likely that
any action looking towards his expul-
sion will be taken at this session of
congress.
In general, the members are disposed
TO await the action Of the court of ap-
peais. which meets in September. The
whole matter Is discussed as something
that was expected to happen

act against Russia which cannot per-
