Why StickIer for Etiquette Retired
From the Senate.
w. J. Mcconnell of Idaho, a witness
at the Smoot trial. is said to have
hastened the retirement of George F.
Edmunds from the United States Sem
ate. There is a tradition in that body
that new member ought to wait at
least one session before making a
speech. Mr.. Mcconnell was elected
from Idaho when that state was ad.
mitted to the union. He drew the
short term, which only lasted cou,
pie of months, so he determined to
lose no time. He caught the presid-
ing officers eye and with his formid-
able voice proceeded to deliver a
speech. Edmunds gazed with aston.
ishment at the orator and then asked
his neighbor rs that a member OF
the house?" mo, it is a senator" t"
was the reply. when did he get in?''
further inquired Edmunds HE was
sworn in yesterday was the response.
Sworn in yesterday and making a
speech to-day unused Edmunds
We'll, guess it is time for me to
quit" Then he got his resignation
ready.

EHoTmous NUMBER OF Government
Publications Now Printed.
The number of Farmers Bulletins

down the cost of these publications.
the amount expended slightly exceed
ed one and one-half cents a COPY the
limit set as a fair average cost.
The Congressional distribution has
FAR exceeded all previous years. The
popularity of this class of publications
among senators and representatives
grows very rapidly. Very nearly
100000 of them were distributed
upon the orders of senators and repre-
sentatives and delegates, an excess
over the previous year Of 95O, 900. Dur
ing the past three years this CON
gressional distribution has absorbed
over 100000 copies of Farmers Bull

that the appropriations for the Con-
gresslOnal distribution began with

The Galapagos islands, which, it is
hinted in diplomatic circles at Wash
ington, will soon come under the
domination of the United States, com
prise a group in the Pacific, GOO miles

country they belong. There are eleven
principal islands, the largest being AL

Turtles are numerous, forming the
chief product. In fact, the name Gala.

Senator stewards Evening Dress.

Senator Stewart of Nevada has only
shedowy notions in some ways. For
Instance, few days ago, when Miss
Warren, daughter of the Wyoming
Senator, was married to Capt. Perish
ing, the Senate met at O'Clock in
stead OF at noon, as usual, in order
that the senators might attend the
wedding. Just as the Senate was
called to order Mr.. Stewart hustled
in. wearing evening clothes. He had
been to the wedding and evidently
thought that, no matter what the hour,
such an event demands the best a
man has in his wardrobe.

UNIVERSAL REJOICING.
Paris Has Words of Praise for ROOse-
 welt and United States.

Paris, Aug. 30.-Universal rejoicing has taken the place of the hrst feeling of surprise and almost inoredulity that the Russians and Japanese had an- swered affirmatively President Roose- velts fervent appeal in behalf of the civilized world for a cessation of the useless and disastrous war. The hope had always prevailed here since the President succeeded in bringing the plenipotentiaries together that his in- domitabie perseverance would culmi- nate fin overcoming the dificulties which would have caused any other man to hesitate. It was. however. not expected that such a sudden and stag gering climax would be reached as that attained yesterday. The first announce ment of the news in diplomatic circles evoked startled expressions. mingled with joy and hesitation to believe the truth. When confirmation arrived and the facts became more widely known unmeasured praise was accorded the initiator of the peace movement, the success of which was recognized as the event of the century. The President was regarded as a grand victor. emerg- ing, covered with glory. from an al- most hopeless single-handed struggle in the cause of peace. in which his iron will had carried of the victory.

Peans eR Joy in Italy.

Rome. Aug. so.-The Pope was in- formed of the conclusion of peace in the Far East early this morning. He immediately arose, exclaiming. This is the happiest news of my life. Thank God for President Roosevelt's courage. .'' The Pontih telegraphed later to Elm peror Nicholas his congratulations to him and to the whole world.
 Peans of joy ros call over Italy at the news that peace had actually been concluded. The statesmen unanimously think that peace was best for both bel ligerents while at the same time a pos- sible serious European situation is averted. The military men, on the other hand. consider that Japan made a great mistake in leaving Russia a foothold near at hand whence to make future trouble. All join in awarding the merit of the achievement to Presi- dent Roosevelt, who has made for him self an historic name, while the United States henceforth will possess a posi- tion of the greatest influence in the af- fairs of the Far East.

odessa is Happy.

Odessa, Aug. 30.--The news of the conclusion of peace was received by all classes here with sincere joy and im- mense relief. especially as the promuI- gatIou of a ukase of the mobilization of troops on the previous day clearly indicated the possibility of a continua- tion of the war. The peace terms are considered a great victory for Russian diplomacy and especially for M. Witte.
 The conclusion of peace is important to odessa, whose commerce and indus try suffered severely during the war. The trade of this port, however, will. 1t Is believed, recover from its state of stagnation. The merchants are happy at the prospects of a renewal of the connections with the Far East to which prior to the war Odessa exported large iy. The trade between Odessa and Ja- pan. which commenced three years ago. is also expected to develop rapidly.

Russia doubtless will maintain a strong army in the east aud thus relieve somehow the weight of her neighbors. She will no longer be feared as here tofore, as even after the restoration of her prestige and the organization of her resources she will ever have Japan to watch and calculate upon.
 The German government. according to some of the best newspaper judges. is convinced that Japan may be ex- pected to remain quiet for many years if let alone and that she will peace fully develop her new estate on the Asian continent. The yellow pertf' seems to have largely disappeared out of German thought.

The German View.

Berlin Aug. 30.-Chancellor von Bue- low, in acknowledgment of the cable dispatch from the Associated Press with the announcement of peace and an outline of the terms of the agreement, says:
 "In the reception of this fortunate result, the German advocates of peace are in full agreement with the Ameri- cans"
 The German Government has pre- uared its view of the situation. which will appear in the next issue of The North German Gazette, as follows:
 we greet the news with lively satts- faction. The agreemnt, quick beyond exception, is due to the quiet tenacity of Emperor Nicholas and his counsel Iors in St. Petersburg, as well as to the plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth. Acknowledgment must be made of the amount of untouched powers of resist ance that remain in the Russian im- perlal State, notwithstanding the mili- tary misfortunes, and also of tho up- setting of all the political theories that had been built upon the under-valua- ton of the Slav world. The decision for the Japanese statesmen was not an easy one, but it honors their wisdom. It shows also that the youngest world power, which has 50 brilliantly entered into the community of the cultivated pOWoEbs iS WOfLuy OL tuS lt gave during the war to western civili- xation. The conclusion of peace by yielding all sharp conditions may be more highly valued because the agree Tnent was a voluntary act. not due to foreign pressure, but self-imposed. We congratulate both sovereigns, their Governments and their peoples with pleasure on attaining an understanding with each other and we hope that those who have been enemies may as soon as the final peace treaty is signed begin to live next to each other as good neigh hors.
 shining in the history of our times will be the record of President Roose- veIt's services, whereby the concIu- sion of peace was made possible. His was a piece of hard. but masterly con ducted work of statesmenship ana hu- manity which will use this peace for it's development, and the world will not forget the name of Roosevelt"

End Happy and Honorable.

St. Petersburg, Aug. so.-Among those who are completely satisfied with the results of the peace confer ence iE Charles von Schawanebach, minister of agriculture. who said to the Associated Press.
 We should bless heaven for so hap py and honorable a settlement of the war Peace Is highly desirable and we can now devote our attention to the settlement of Russia's internal prob lems, which need our full and undiv- ided efforts. without external compli- cationa.'
 The minister expressed his belief that the reforms will now take a sane and natural course but he declared that to certain phases of the agitation caustic must be applied firmly and the sore burned out of the body poll tic. The result of the peace negotia- tions. he said. were important to the United States as well as to Russia and Japan. since the American republic emerges from the negotiations with it's prestige as the arbiter of great world questions firmly established.

Aa 10 Harue Conference.

Washington, Aug. 3e.--It is regarded here as probsb that immediately upon the conclusion and final signature Of the treaty of peace between Russia and Japan there will be a renewed effort to secure another meeting of the Hague conference in accordance with Presi- dent Roosevelt's suggestion to the pow CTS last Spring. Following the original proposition for re-assembifng of the conference the President sent out a second circular note notifying the pow CTS that in his judgment further pro- ceedings in connection with the call should he left to the resident council at The Hague
 The State Department has learned since then that nearly all the powers addressed. while accepting the project, qualified their acceptance of the propo- sitfon with a statement that the new conference should be deferred until the conclusion of hostilities between Japan and Russia. There the matter has rest ed as far as the State Department is ad- vised and 1t probably will require the issuance of q third circular note to set the wheels in motion and bring about the desired conference. Any of the signatory powers might feel disposed to put forth such note. but on the whole it Is regarded IS rather more probable that President Roosevelt will complete the movement he has initiated. and soon after Secretary Roots return to Washington the President will advise him touching the issuance of the re- hinder.
