Bill for Ahrogation of Death Penalty
 Discussed In Russia.

St. Petersburg, July 5.-The council of the empire spent today discussing rules of order The relative strength of the reae- tionary and liberal wings was shown on the vote to deprive members of the right to present popular petitions, which propo- sltion was rejected after a warm de- bate. .ess f'-' ,, ae .3.
 The treatment of the bill for abrogation of the death penalty was the subject of general discussion in the lobbies of the lower house. .~- --...s 70, -aq.s..
 There Is much sentiment in favor of a substitution of a measure restricting the practically unlimited right of governor generals to order offenders to be tried by military courts, allowing this to be done only in time of actual armed uprising
 This would tend to effect the same ob- ject as the civil code provides the death penalty only in cases of attempts on the life of the Emperor or violation of quar- antine regulations. sE

Unexampieo totals mark the measure Of every phase of industrial and commercial lire. we have engaged in expenditures Of capltal on a. scale so vast that It makes the financial operations of other days seem nettv hv comparison.

 "1e financial disaster should ever come because we have failed to enact proper legislation, the blame for that olsas- ter will lie against the bankers or NC" York more directly than against any other group of people.

 one were it politically possible would be
 the question of a government bank hay ing the power of issue whose sole bus

 banks and whose chief operations would be the redscounting for other banks.
 do not mean that any existing institution could be metamorphised in such central bank It would have to be freshly organ

 need to be largely in the hands of the
 favorite and it's ownership widely dis
 tributed among banking interests through
 out the country. The principles of
 scientific asset currency would well Do
 worked out through the medium of such
 an institution as the experience Of Ger many eloquently testifies, put they can undoubtedly be worked out in some other way.
 eThe fear which men so commonly have
 of giving large power of note issue to
 all national banks will largely disappear , when the opponents to asset currency have once fairly in their minds what the result will be for providing adequate re- demption facilities. That a plan can pc
 devised which will safely permit every na- tional bank to issue a certain amount ot
 notes not secured by government bonds,
 I have no doubt and I am inclined to think that 1t is along that line that legislation
 is most likely to be obtained, although perhaps 1t is not the ideal solution.
 "The thing of which am absolutely cer- | tain, however, is that solution of the whole problem can be attained wisely. promptly and easily if bankers would give to a consideration of the subject anything like the attention which it merits. The re- l sponsibility is on the bankers of New 1 York You cannot hide behind Congress to | avoid the responsibility.

Mexico and the United States made 1t clear that they would look with disfavor upon any combination of Central Ameri- can powers to overthrow President Ca brera When the position of the United States became clear, Salvatore announced the appoin tment of J. Pacus as special envoy to present the Salvadorean posi- ton to the American government to pre- vent any serious international complica- tions The state department has been ad- vised of the departure of MT. Pacus for this country
 Guatemala has complained bitterly 10 the United States of the conduct of Sal vadore, and charges that the latter gov ernment has taken every means to for- ward the cause of revolutionary General l Barrilas, and to hasten the downfall or President Cabrera. It is charged that Sal yadore not only winked at all expeditions which crossed her boundary into Guate- malan territory but actually sent troops into Guatemala and committed many acts which cannot be regarded as less than the invasion of the territory of a friendly power.

Washington, July 5.-Again the United States will probably figure as peace maker. Guatemala and Salvatore are making overtures for the arbitration or their troubles resulting from the alleged activity of Salvatore in support of the revolutionary movement against Cabrera of Guatemala, and itis likely the United States will be selected as the country Tn which the board of arbitration will meet.
 The state department has been aoViseo of the desire of the two countries which are almost at the point of making war against each other, to have their diner ences settled by arbitration and although formal negotiations have not been made as vet, there seems to be but little doubt that an amicable settlement will be et- fected.
 With the first intimation of outside interference in Guatemalan affairs, the state department sent the Marbiehead from Panama to prevent meddling, and

STUDIES ARE RESUMED.
Mr. Daniel Makes Interesting Talk Be- fore University Summer School.

University July 5.--(Special.) )-After a day of rest from studies, all exercises having been suspended for the Fourth. the summer school resumed work this morning. The speaker for this morning was Louis Spencer Daniel. of the school of expression and physical culture Colum- bia institute, Columbia, Tenn. Almost the entire faculty and student body came out to hear MT. Daniel this morning at his first appearance, and 1t Is safe to say that they will turn out en nlasse for the remainder of MT. Daniels talks. The speaker took as his subject this morn- Ing Something to Say and How to Say It." On this subject, he put up strong argument and plea for the admission of expression and oratory Into all universi- ties and all schools. 'The human voice, So criminally neglected by men and wom- en- is the grandest and sweetest of all musical instruments. The violin is next in texture, sweetness and grandeur" MT. Daniel further stated that the reason peo- pie do not get what they ask for in this life is because they do not know how to ask for 1t. By way of illustration, he took one word, the word mo-" and said 1t many, many different ways; then whole sentences. making the sentence mean something different each time. The Illus trations were not only entertaining but wonderful, for they showed what changes can be made in the meaning of what we say simply by the infection given the voice. In conclusion, MT Daniel rendered several delightful little cuttings and stories that were thoroughly enjoyed. At the end of the lecture, the audience ex- pressed It's hearty approval of his work by an expressive round of applause.
 MT. Daniel, the American character ar list. will be at the summer school through next Wednesday and during his stay will deliver about ten lectures. Mir Daniel is Q Tennessean by birth, and a most en- thusiastic speaker and educator. In his special line of work, MT. Daniel stands in class by himself.

The subjects for his later lectures are .1The Hand That Rocks the Cradle of the Universe" "Style is the Man Him self" Short Stories," Swedish Gymnas- tics," "Sringtown on the Pike and Les Miserables."
