CHAMBERLAIN STILL 4 FACTOR
Decision of Liberal-UniOnist Council to
 Accept His Plan.

Accept His Plan.
 London, May 1S.-The liberal-unionist council, after two hours session in Lon don this afternoon, decided to reeonsti- ute the Liberal Unionist association on the basis proposed by Joseph Chamber lain. The Duke of Devonshire, who presided, announced in his opening ad- dress that he could not undertake any irresponsible position in the new associ- ation, and the question of retention Of his membership depended on whether the managers maintained a perfectly neutral attitude on the fiscal question.
 Speaking later, prior to the adoption of Mr. Chamberlain's proposal, the Duke of Devonshire voiced the views of the free trade iiberal-unionists in saying that the new organization would not be merely for the purpose of oppos- ing home rule. If the proposed rules were agreed to nothing could prevent the council from adopting in its entire ty the fiscal policy recommended by the Tariff Reform league, and the Liberal Unionist association might any day be converted into an active agency in sup port of that league.
 MT. Chamberlain carried the meeting practically unanimously in support of his views

 Peace--Progress of Arbitration.
 Boston, May 1S.-"To extend and complete for the whole civilized world, as speedily as possible, the pacific in stitutions which are ultimately to dis place war and establish universal and permanent peace is the ambition of the American Peace society. as an- nounced in it's seventy sixth annual meeting held here this afternoon. Rob- lert Treat Paine presided at the meet ing.
 In the annual report of the directors Secretary Benjamin E. Trueblood de- scrbed the year as one of unexampled interest in the cause of international peace. and of remarkable progress in the development and organization of the principle of arbitration among ma tions Referring to the future, the re- port says that there is justification for the friends of peace to cherish large hope for the final and complete tri- umph of their cause at no very remote day.
 On the subject of armaments the di- rectors say: s'The serious and increas- ingly pressing problem of checking the growth of the armaments of the world, and of their reduction from their pres ent perilous proportions, remains as yet practically untouched.
 We regret to have to chronicle the discouraging fact that in the matter of naval increase our own government is setting very bad and dangerous ex- ample. The estimates for the navy the coming year amount to nearly $100,000,- 900. In eighteen years the naval budget has increased TOO per cent. The popu- lation of the country has during that time increased but 50 per cent and it's wealth only 100 per cent. We are at the present moment building more war ves- sels than any other country, except Great Britain.p
 The annual election of officers result ed in the reelection of the following: President, Robert Treat Paine; secre- tary Dr. Benjamin r Trueblood; treas- urer Thomas H. Russellall of this city. With Rev Dr. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, at the head of the list, more than thirty ce-presidents were chosen, every section of the United States being represented.

PARTIALLY SOLVED
Mystery of the Absence of Norman
 Odell From the Buckeye Country.

The mystery of the disappe arance of Noman Odell. a young man from New York. from the residence of w. R. Blackmer in the Buckeye country. has been partially solved though it is not yet known where he is. The manner in which he went leaves lit tie doubt that he suddenly became in- sane. Nothing had been previously nCticeabl in his conduct. IL will be remembered that on January 12th, he left the Blackmer house to get an aX, which had been left a quarter Of a mile away. He was not seen in that neighborhood afterward except by one man. Ed. Kell, who was on his roae to Phoenix. Odell asked him if he could ride with him and being per mitted to do so he got into the wagon and rode as far as the railroad cross ing below Five Points. He got out there and started up the railroad track.
 Kell said that there was nothing about his manner during the ride to make him suspect that Odell was not in his right mind, though the way in which he left the wagon he regarded as curious. When he started he had evidently intended to come to Phoe- nix.
 Notwithstanding his disappearance has been extensively advertised with in the last four or five days no word of his whereabout has come from any one who might have seen him in his wanderings.
 KelI lives not very far from Black mer, but he had not heard of the mystery of the going of Odell until after it had been reported in Phoenix by John Roberts and after inquiry began to be made in that nei@hbor- hood about the young man. His trunk. clothing and other personal ef- fects are still at Blackmer's.
