regarded by state department officials
as being very significant, in that it
really makes all five Central American
governments parties to the peace ne
gotiaticns, and will prevent any COM
plants which these governments might
offer as to the terms had they not been
recognized in the conference.
The rlenipotentiaries themselves sent
cable messages to President Roosevelt
and President Diaz, and both returned
graceful acknowledgment of these trib-
utcs and then exchanged personal mes
sagcs of congratulation. The underly-
ing expression was that the Marblehead
peace pact would be historic in Central
America. as it certainly would go far
to prevent any collision between the
small republics for many years to come.

SHOT THEIR PRISONERS.
Grave Charges are Made Against
GuascmaIan Military Officials.

San Salvador. July 22.-The Saliva
dorian newspapers Indignantly accuse
the Guatcmalan troops of having killed
the Salvadoriah prisoners so soon as
they were captured.
They say that Gen. Cristales. when
the armistice was signed. returned to
the Guatcmalan army all the imprison-
ed officers and soldiers of Guatemala,
but, the papers add. the Guatemalans
were unable to take a corresponding
step because all the prisoners they had
captured had been shot.
The newspapers of this republic call
the attention of the civilized world to
this action on the part of Guatemala,
claiming that The Hague convention
of 1899. referring to war on land. es-
tablished that prisoners remain in the
hands of the government Of the enemy.
and not in the hands of individuals or
Of the troops capturing them. and that
they should always be treated humane
ly.

MORTON COUNTY FARMER SAYS
GOLD GANG" Is GOOD ENOUGH
fe.- FOR HIM,


lMandan Pioneer: Can you tell me
what all this talk about the 1ooting of
Alaska has to do with this coming
primary election?
And what do they expect to make
out of trying to lay these yellow-cov-
cred pack Of lies onto such men as
our two United States senators, now
doing so much for our state and it's
old soldiers, at Washington?
They would have you think that
this country is going to hades by the
shortest cut off, and the only way to
prevent this sad disaster, is to put the
state in hands of new, and inexperi-
enced sore-heads, who never have, and
can never be expected to make a sue
cess of anything except a rich gold
mine, or an Indian leadership.
If was in some of these sore-head-
ed kickers places, I would quit the
state and get rid of the old gang by
so doing.
This country is good enough for me
just as it is. I came to these United
States in 1860. In 1861, when Lin
coin made his first call I enlisted in
the End West Virginia Infantry.
Served three years and re-inlisted in
Company H. 9Th West Virginia Caval-
ry. During the fall of 1863 was taken
prisoner and locked up in Libby
prison for six months Was paroled
and returned to my regiment in the
spring of 1864, and was mustered out
at Fort sLevenworth, Kansas, fall OF
1865. 4
saw some good hard knocks but
never made a kick. Lincoln told us
that the government would take care
Of us when we got old. And his
promises are being made good by
these very men who, these soreheads
would make you think would steal an
old soldiers wooden leg.
Some years agoI was given small
pension, but not enough to take care
of me in case of sickness. Through
some of my friends Mckenzie heard
Of me and in "a short time, McCumber
and Hansbrough were at work getting
me a larger pension. And now am
drawing $50 per month.
Hurrah for Mckenzie and all the old
gang. They are good enough for me
and will get my vote when the time
Icomes. And you old soldiers who
toed the mark at Lincoln's call, Will

Washington, June 4.-The confer
onlce report on the railway rate regu-
lation bill was submitted to the senate
and house late Saturday afternoon.
It will probably be called up for con-
sideration this afternoon. AS now ar
ranged the measure is even more
drastic than as amended by the
senate.
The amendment requiring that five
days notice be given before any in
junction suspending the orders Of the
Interstate commerce commission will
be granted by any court, remains in
the bill. It's retention was secured
by the abandonment of the Jim
Crow provision, which required that
equal service be given for equal COM
pensation The negroes of the north
opposed the amendment, fearing if
the provision remained it would re-
suit in all interstate carriers in the
north as well as the south establish,
ing cars providing separate accommo
dations for whites and blacks.
The other amendments abandoned
by the senate conferees were those
retaining the present membership
of the commission; making sleeping
cars common carriers, requiring proc!
that officers and agents of railroads
willfully and knowingly granted re
bates before punishment could be in
flicted; and making legal the giving
of free transportation under liberia
limitation. This provision, as fnall.
adopted, is as follows: mo carrie,

shall, after January 1st, 1907, directl,
