AN OLD QUESTION.

Washington, Nov 10.-Many in quiries are received at the pension bu- reau from all parts of the country ask ing if a law has been enacted reim- bursting those who paid money to be exempt from the draft in 1S63-64, but the pension officials point out that there has been no legislation to war rant the reports which led to the in quiries. Deputy Commissioner of Pen sions Davenport to-day said:
 "The pension bureau has no knowl- edge of proposed law of this kind. and 1t is a little strange that anyone would expect the government to come 10 the relief of these stay-at-homes. In 1863 it became necessary in some states to resort to draft to fill town quotas. It seems that at that time anyone could purchase exemption for fixed price. In many towns that price was $500. It was simply n barter and trade ar rangement between the men liable to be drafted and the town. Somebody must be laboring under the impression that these drafted men should he re- imbursed for this $500. It does not look that way to an outsider

POWERS ACCEPT
Nearly All Will Be Repre-. resented at Second
 Peace Meeting.

St Petersburg, Nov 10.--Practically all the powers have now accepted the invitation of Emperor Nicholas to be represented at the second peace con- ference, and the program which Rus sia will submit for the consideration of the delegates at The Hague is being elaborated at the foreign office. The date of the conference has been tenta. lively fixed for May next.
 NJ. Pokotiloff, the Russian minister at Pekin, has been charged by his gov ernment to conduct the negotiations with China arising from the peace treaty signed at Portsmouth, \. H. The questions cover the future of Man churia, Russian leases of the railroad and all matters to which the assent of China is required by the treaty. The impression here is that Baron Komura, who is now at Pekin in charge of the Japanese side of the negotiations, will seek to sell the railroad below Kuan- chengtsu, except the Liaotung branch, to China.
 Russia has not yet agreed to Japan's proposition to raise the Tokio legation to the rank of an embassy.

ROOSEVELT TEMPLE OF
 PEACE IS PROPOSED
Idea is Suggested by the Tribute Paid to the Preside mt in London Yesterday-Q as to Whether Hen Who Paid Money to Substitutes in Civil War Are
 to Be Reimbursed is Being Discussed at Washington.

Washington, Nov 10.-The tribute paid to President Roosevelt in London yesterday in connection with the lord mayors parade, has directed attention here to suggestion emanating from J. Selwin Tait. local representative ,os the International Banking corporation that the triumph of the president as a peacemaker be perpetuated by the erection in the Capital city of a mag nificent Roosevelt temple of peace.' AIr Tait feels that there will be no difficulty in raising by public subscrip- tion fund sufficient to erect struc- ture in eyerrs. expect worthy of the tri- umph at Portsmouth. The suggestion is that there be erected large build ing to be used for conventions and meetings of national importance, to be of rich design with ornamentation en- blematic of peace and perhaps sym bolic of the success of President Roosevelt in tightening the bonds of brotherhood between the north and south.

SUES ON NOTE
Case that Started Time of Coal Strike is Before
 Judge Cowell.

A law suit in which Timothy F. Con- way, manager for the Brass City Coal Go, sues Eugene l.. Jacques for S215 on note, was begun in the district court before Judge Cowell to-day. The note was issued originally in 1903 when the coal strike was on, and was for $4G0 Mr Conway said it was for coal delivered. The defense was that the defendant allowed the plaintiff for his convenience to store certain quantity of coal in the cellars of the Auditori- um, Jacques and Polls theaters. Mir Conway told MT Jacques that he had a chance to buy lot of coal, but had no place in which to store it. Mr Jacques said he reluctantly agreed to permit MT Conway to stow the coal as already mentioned. MT Conway then asked for check for the price of the coal, but Mir Jacques said he had no authority to issue check on Jacques x Poli. Mir Splain. treasurer of the concern. always attended to the purchase of the coal. However, Mir Jacques did finally give Mir Conway his personal note for $460 with the under standing that Mr Conway was to take care of it with the money he would receive from MT Splain in payment for the usual quantity of coal for con sumption in the Auditorium and the two theaters.

TAKES THE LEAD.

St Petersburg, Nov 10.-The town council of St Petersburg is taking the lead in the political education of the masses by inaugurating a series of public lectures at which the new or der of things is explained to the peo- pie. The object of the meetings is to allay the hostility between the vari- ous classes by showing the benefit ac- cruing to all from the grant of liber- hes This example will be followed by Moscow and other cities.
 Word reaches Count Witte that in some regions the reactionaries who are seeking to make the new regime odious are spreading reports among the peasants in the country and the lower classes of the cities that the i'm. perial manifesto is a forgery issued by a camarilla of revolutionists Of which Count Witte is the head and who hold the emperor prisoner in the palace. Such stories circulated among the ignorant peasantry are apt to prove almost as dangerous now as they did when the peasantry rose to support Pugatcheff, who claiming to be Peter III called on the people to overthrow Catherine II. The clergy throughout the country under instruc- tions from the holy synod are doing all in their power to counteract the ef- feet of such pernicious reports by ex- plaining to the people in the churches the real meaning of the reforms.
 Rear Admiral Nebogatoff. who has arrived here from Japan, is posing as martyr, declaring that he deliberate " sacrificed his name and honor by surrendering at the battle of the Sea of Japan, in order to save the lives of the two thousand sailors of his diyis- lon. The admirals son has been forced by the derision of his compan- ions at the naval academy to leave that institution.

SLOW ABOUT IT
So the Trolley Company Win Pave
 with Cobbls Stones.

Property owners on Baldwin street, between Stone and Washington streets. were rather slow when they allowed the trolley company to put fin a turn out there without agreeing to pave the street with something besides eobble stones. They were expected to show up at the hearing and suggest some thing of that sort, but none of them put in an appearance. It Is not too late yet. Somebody said at the meet ing of the board of public works the other evening that General Manager sewell is a good fellow. and as NIT sewell was present and didn't say augbt against this it is but fair to as surne that it is true.

MONUMENT
 TO SATAN
Detroit Policemen
 Stand Guard.
The Shaft Was Invented in Front Yard of a Stone Mason Says the Devil is His Friend.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 10-Two De troit policemen late last night assum- ed the unique duty of taking up their station as guards at the site of mon- ument to Satan. The monument is Ii feet in height from foundation to crown, a horned figure purporting to be Satan being shown in a stopping position behind a pulpit. The grotes- que affair created a sensation when unveiled in the front yard of Herman Menz, contracting stone mason at sos Stanton avenue and last night a mob of boys gathered around it and began a bombardment of stones that threatened it's destruction, the two pc licemen finally dispersing the crowd and standing guard to prevent further attacks.
 Explaining his action in erecting the monument. Mir Menz said that he did not believe word of the bible but that "Old Nick" told the truth. "He is my friend" declared the old man. pointing up at the image. "He spoke the first and last truth"
 Around the neck of the statue when it was unveiled was ribbon of Uni ted States flags. Clergymen and city, officials have been interviewed re- gariing the extraordinary action of Mir Menz but no conclusion has been reached as to whether his monument can or should be made the object of official action to secure it's removal.

politics and the New York election. He said:
 ''0f all things we should have an honest count I do not believe in the social idea of municipal ownership, but municipal ownership is a certainty as sure as I am alive. Scotland and England are ahead of us in ownership of public property. All Great Brit aims water, trans and sewage works are under public ownership. The line seems clear to me. The increase In value made by an increasing popula- ton should belong to the city. No city should give away franchise that be- longs to the people, but whether city should offer 1t as lease for time is another affair.

FOOLISH. SAYS yooRHIs.

New York, Nov 10-Concerning the reports that ballot boxes had been found in the river and other places, President Voorhis of the board of elec- tions said today: This talk about ballot boxes is all foolish. The board of elections have receipts for all the boxes given out and also receipts for those taken back. They know how many there were and all have been accounted for. The talk of one box being found in barber shop Is also wrong. There may have been one of the small boxes which contained the illegal ballots, which are always de stroyed as soon as the count Is an- nounced.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
More Women on the Witness Stand at
 Yesterdays Session.

Mrs Palomina Solomita, a cousin-in- law of Antonio Solomita, one of the prominent figures in the Capobianeo murder trial, and brother of the mur- dered man, was the principal witness for the defense yesterday. Mrs Solo mita has been but three years in the country. She is barely 19 and has been married two years. The defense claimed she was a reluctant witness and that she would not tell her story when the case was being prepared.
 Attorney O'Nelll tried this morning to show that she was biased In favor of the Solomitas and that she was afraid of them. With a simple No she denied that her husband had told her not to tell that Antonio SOl0mita, his cousin. had been two years in prison in Italy. She made the same answer to the question if Antonio had not even admit that Antonio to her record in the old country. She would not eve nadmit that Antonio to her knowledge had been arrested there. and fin despair Attorney 0'Neill gave her up.
 AdOlO Daddnna was the next wit ness. She lived or Scovill street at the time of the card party which has been mentioned so often in the trial. This took place about July l. There was another party a few nights after. and there the trouble between capo- bianeo and the SOlOmitas broke out
 Capobisnco took the stand at eleven o'clock. Ills story began with the card game in Perello's house on the corner of South Elm and Scovill streets about July i. He was the man who with a small boy accOsted Officer Halpin as already stated and com pIained to him that Antonio Solomita threatened to kill everybody in the muse. The card game wound up in a dispute and Antonio upon leaving the house said sAIl right. will go now. but fl I ever get my hands on you will show you what l ann. Accused answered fo the effect Don't get mad. sit down and we will play anofh- CT game" Antonio and Vito Solomita left the bollse together and accused left with Michael Solonita five min ufeS later. The latter almost over took the former and acczisad saw that Antonio wished to go back and Vito would not let him go. He heard An tonic say T want to % back to chal- lenge him Let him come out in the middle of the street and l win break him at the knee Accused asked Michael If he heard these words ansl he said he did not A few days later. accused met Antonio and saw he had a razor.
