ITO JL7leITO CONFERENCE.
The third Pan American Conference is now in
session at Rio Janerio the capital city of Brazil
There are many subjects up for discussion which will
vitality affect the interests Of North and South Ameri
ca. One of the interesting topics to come before
this gathering of representative oendeavor to
get the different countries to agree to settle all dis
putes by arbitration. This measure no doubt will
not receive very cordial support from the South
American statesmen, as that country has the repu-
tation of having more revolutions than the rest
of the nations combined However, it would seem
that this fact would induce them to settle their dis
putes in harmonious manner.
Some of the other interesting propositions to be
considered by this conference trademark and
copyright laws commercial treaties, custom and con
sular laws, etc. Since the existence OF the Pan
American Conference, North and South America
have come to more conservative understanding, anc

SEVERAL of the European powers have recently
agreed to reduce their standing armies. This is well
come news to those who have been working for uni
versal peace 1t is also good indication for the
future disarmament of those nations that have not
agreed on reduction At present the outlook is all
that could be desired but it is impossible to predict
that this unanimity of opinion will last. The most
nfnitesimal warcloud will shatter these Utopian
dreams and postpone action until another generation
more hopeful than the present inaugurates new
era.
As yet nothing definite has been done, and it is
not likely that there will be for several months pos
sibly years When one realizes the extent Of the
hostile feeling that has always existed between most
of the powers it is difficult to understand how they
can disarm unless they all agree to the proposition.
The animosites of the past cannot he forgotten. 1t
is easy to moralize about brotherly love between
nations butwhen it to actual disarmament, this
feeling of Christian brotherhood is no deeper than
the paper which it is written.
Considering the deep-seated spirit of aggressive

is always the possibility of The question Of

they owe their not to their individual bust

their different concerns Where there is who is
a success at dabbling in many things, there be
found a dozen who are failures. The same thing
can be said in regard to learning trade. The man
who learns thing we'll and sticks to it, takes rank

that Russell Sage had left lot of his money to
charity, has another guess coming. There was no
such word known to Sage as charity. He left his
whole fortune to his wife, and except insig

There is every probability that relatives at Troy N

TRADES DISPUTE BILL
Is Reported to the British House of

London Aug. 4.--The Trades Dispute
Bill, which is a direct outcome of the
Taffvale decision that trades unions
funds are liable for the illegal acts of
individual members of Il union. passed
the committee stage in the House OF
Commons this morning. and was re-
ported to the House amid cheering.
Considerable excitement marked The
debate, during which several amend
ments opposed by the government wer
defeated by narrow ma jOritieS, in one
case the government being saved from
defeat by a few unionist votes. There
was somewhat extraordinary scene
after midnight following on Prime
Minister Campbell Bannerman's re-
fusal to accept Lord Robert Cccils mo-
ton to report progress, Lord Robert
saying that the prime minister had
pledged himself that the debate should
not continue after II o'clock. When the
motion was defeated by government

Der returned subsequently but the front

several Liberals and Radicals took

debate then proceeded without interest
to it's close.
The Trades Dispute bill provides that
no act of a trade union shall be held
to be unlawful Il such act is lawful
when committed by an individual. 1t
sets forth in express terms the right Of
peaceful picketing. which has been de-
scribed as an essential right of strik-
ers. and defines the law of agency as
applied to trades unions. making 1t
impossible to claim redress from union
funds for any act unless it is clear that
the act was authorized by the govern
ing body Of the union.

The correspondent of The Associated

not to allow him to see the guns.

from the fortress was directed on the
headquarters of the commander, who,

forced to seek shelter in a better pro-
tected place.

The fortress itself bore many signs of
the bombardment, great rents in the
walls, holes in the roof, and destroyed
windows telling their own tales.
The correspondent was not permitted to
examine in detail the Notifications held
by the rebels, as they form part of the
national defence and are secret. There
IS no question that until the warshipS
came up the government was powcrless
to adequately reply to the mutineers and
was simply able to hold its positions.
The commander had scarcely fed from
his headquarters leaving them heap of
fallen ruins, when the warships crept
up the coast and opened fire. Taken IN
