HOPES ARE BLlGHTED.
Arbitration Conference Meets at Most
Discouraging Period.

Lake Mohonk, May 31-President
Gray in the course of his speech open
ing the arbitration conference said that
the hope, kindled at the last meeting.
arbitration treaties between the United
States and powers signatory to The
Hague convention would be ratified,
had been wOefully disappointed.
But" continued President Gray, I'VE
can congratulate ourselves that no loss
Of strength on that account has come to
our cause. The result has been a widen
ing circle of interest and discussion and
a termination of the friends of inter-
national arbitration throughout the
world, in the endeavor to accomplish
forward steps in this great movement
Of civilization. All the more, then, is
it incumbent upon US, in this eleventh
annual conference, to signalize by our
proceedings the patriotism of our mo-
tives, the earnestness of our purpose
and the courage of our convictions"
President Gray continued:
We may indulge the hope that the
ends of arbitration in the senate, and
We have no right to assume that all its
members are not such) will find a way
by which the government of the United
States, through its treaty making pow
er, may join the other nations of the
world in binding itself to submit diff
ferences which may arise of a legal ma
ture, or relating to the Interpretation of
treaties existing between the two con-
tracing parties, and which it may not
have been possible to settle by diplO-
macy to the permanent court of arbi-
tration established at The Hague, with
out requiring the merely subordinate
agreement as to procedure in each case,
to be ratified by twO-thirds of the SEN
ate To say that this cannot be done,
would argue a degree of imbecility and
weakness in our federal government
that do not believe exists. The treaty
making powers, as conferred by the con-
stitution on the president and the sen
ate. is without expressed limitation or
restriction and it is surely broad
enough to authorize a. covenant by the
United States to pursue a prescribed
line of conduct with reference to future
contingencies. I think, therefore, the
president did well to withdraw the
treaties for the present, without accept
ing the senate amendmnt, which would
practically have defeated their pur-
pose"
BENJAMIN F. Trueblood in his address
also spoke of the disappointment over the
failure of the senate to ratify the arbitra-
ton treaties but believed after all that
this had strengthened the cause of arbi-
tration.
Mr. Trueblood spoke of President Roose-
welt having taken the hrSI step toward
the holding of the new international con-
ference at The Hague. He said
1T is possible therefore that the United
States may lead the way in securing a
treaty among all the powers that will be
have been signed, excepting that between
Denmark and the Netherlands. Whether
this happens or not it is at any rate true
that arbitration has never before been SO
widely and strongly approved by the
masses OF the American people as to-

QUESTION OF sIDETRACKs.
1t Is One THAT Railroad Board Must
Soon Decide.

Carr Taylor, attorney for the board
of railroad commissioners, is preparing
an opinion for the board concerning
the law passed by the last legislature
requiring railroads to build sidetracks
to grain elevators.
There are a number of such cases
before the board and in some in
stances the railroad companies are in
clined to object to the construction Of
the sidetracks. The board wants to
know how far the law is likely to
stand fire before commencing to en-
force it.

the law. and build sidetraeks to the
farmers elevators. The following let
ter has been received from the freight
traffic department of the Missouri Pa
ci1c:
while I was in Topeka on Wednes-
day, the 18th inst, the board had up
with me the question of furnishing
sidetrack facilities to the extent of our
right of way for the accommodation
of the elevator known as the Farm
ers' elevator at Iuka, Kas., and an ele-
vatOr known as the Preston Grain,
Live Stock and Mercantile Co, at
Preston, KaS.
"Since my return home I have been
enabled to get the papers together,
and this is to advise you that we have
passed all papers to the operating de-
parImenI with the suggestion that
necessary surveys be made to see
whether construction of the tracks is
practicable; if so, that necessary IA
cilities be furnished upon our own
right of way, the cost of work beyond
our right of way to be borne by the
owners of the elevator.
you may therefore hold the COM
plants in allegiance until this feature
of the case can be developed, and I
have no doubt satisfactory under

n
VIII Cure II Used Now.
The early summer when the wealth
er becomes warm and settled, is the
best time Of the whole year to treat
catarrhal troubles with the expectation
of complete and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh, or even
q tendency to catarrh, should use

gained twice as quickly and the dis
ease thoroughly eradicated from the
system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes a neat

and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment. The inhaler lasts a
lifetime, and if more Hyomei is need
ed, extra bottles can be obtained for
30 cents.
In Topeka there are scores of well
known people who have been cured
of catarrh by Hyomei If it does not
