Permanent Treaties Concluded
by Many Powers Since Last
Meeting Of Convention

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. Elm the
assembling today Of the International
Peace Congress, George Alexander
of England, Chairman of the commit
tee on treaty OF arbitrations present
ed a detailed statement of answers
received from various countries
to the questions sent out by the bu-
reau at Berne on the development of
the treaty movement in several Ma
tions. Almost all the powers repre-
sented that new treaties had been
formed or negotiations for additional
treaties were under way. The fol-
lowing resolutions were then read
for passage: THE congress records
it's lively satisfaction at the signature
of permanent and obligatory treaties
since it's last session between France
and Spain; Great Britain and Spian;
Spain and Portugal; Denmark and
the netherlands; Great Britain and
Germany; Sweden and Norway and
France; Sweden and Norway and
Great Britain. The Congress congrt-
ulates the governments of the va
rious countries on having thus taken
important further steps in the path
of judicial relations between the ma
tions opened by the Hague conven-
tion. 1t trusts the examples thus
given will shortly be Followed he
many other powers. The Congress
especially rejoices at the statement
recently made by the President of the
United States that his government is
now taking steps to secure the arbi-
tration of treaties with all govern
ments who are willing to enter upon
them and trusts that many such
treaties will be concluded.

NO TRANSIT Err TO
BE MADE NORTH
Trains May Get Over BY We'd
nesday Night. In the Mean
time They Will BE KO,it-
ed By Fort Worth

There are fair CLEANS on the hori-
zon today which suggest a promise
OF better things to the way worn trav-
elers delayed here. The word now
Is that the trains will leave for the
south tonight, and will cross the
washouts tomorrow morning. The
bridge crews have pushed forward
the work rapidly despite bad weather
and unexpected difficulties. The
little work remaining to be done In
Rogers canyon and at Elota will be
completed during the night. The
work is temporary but SO strongly
constructed that the heavy trains
cross with perfect safety.
No trains from the west are being
routed north from Albuquerque They
go south TO Ell Paso and thence to
Fort Worth However, as shown by
yesterdays dispatches, the trains had
not gotten by Purcell Eastern trains
will not come this way until the gap
through Shoemaker canyon is repair
ed A plug will, however, be run
between here and Albuquerque. It
is definitely and positively announc-
ed that no attempt at transfer will
be made in Shoemaker canyon. AZ
ter careful estimate OF distances 1t
Is found that the nearest feasible
wagon route between Watrous and
Shoemaker will be eighteen miles.
There is bound to lie some risk In
crossing the streams and whole
day would be required 10 transfer a
single train. The company prefera
routing its trains by the wide Fort
Worth detour to taking any unneces
sary risks.
However, II Ia encouraging 10 re,
oeive the report that the work in
Shoemaker canyon is progressing
more rapidly than was anticipated.
About 400 men are at work and day
and night shifts are employed A
big crew crossed the Shoemaker
bridge today and work Is now pro-
crossing from both sides of both
| damaged bridges. The bridges re-
paired, the crews, augmented by the
big force from the west will make
short work of the trouble in the can
yon. 1t is now hoped that train
will be gotten through the canyon by
| Wednesday night.
/ Citizens were disappointed in not
receiving any mail last night except
that from Santa Fe. As near a.
the postsoffiee authorities can deter
mine, the mail for Las Vegas from
the east was routed by Fort Worth
and Is being held at Albuquerque un.
| I'll the trains can get through. This
I would bring mails 10 Las Vegas by
Saturday afternoon or at the latest
Sunday morning. Postmaster Blood
! gives assurance that just as soon as
the mail arrives he will throw both
delivery and carrier windows open
and afford citizens the earliest op
portnnity of hearing from their
friends in the outside world.
Las Vegas has become somewhat
! attached to many of the enforced
vfsitors of more than week and will
watch the progress of the two trains
to their destination with good wishes
Tor safe and expeditions passage.
