Reply of the United States to Russian
Invitation to Participate in
Hague Conference.
NEW QUESTIONS ARISING
ROOSEVELT IGNORED BY THE
EMPEROR.

Washington, April THE state de-
partment has suggested to the Rus
sian government through Ambassador
Rosen that the period suggested in the
Russian note for the convention of the
second Hague conference namely, the
early part of July, would be inconve-
nient to America and to sOnse other
countries Of this hemisphere, which
were expected to be represented at
The Hague ~
The reason for this action was to
avoid a conflict with the pan-Ameri-
can congress, which has peen set for
July p next. and for the possible more
important reason that matters will
come before then Rio congress which
it is desired to ultimately submit to
The Hague.

MAXIM GORKY IS
DUE THIS WEEK
Russian Novelist, Under the Ban in
Russia, to Make a Tour of the
United States.

New York, April when Maxim
Gorky. the Russian patriot, arrives
here from Russia next week, he will
be met by his adopted son, Nicolay
Zavolsky Pieshkoff. a youth of p
years. who fed from St. Petersburg a
year ago. to escape persecution by Sc
cret agents Of the Russian government
and who, except for few months
when disguised as a tramp, he visited
many cities on foot, has been living in
secIusion on the east side. Pieshkofr
is now employed in the mailing room
of a socialist magazine in this city, and
is living in a small room in the east
side. Upon the arrival OF the Russian
novelist. he will leave the east side
and join his foster father to make a
tour of the country. PieshkOff first met
GOrky eight years ago. when he went
to the novelist and told him Of his
longing for an education. GOrky took
him into his home and assumed the
direction of his education.
Placed in Prison.
Everything went smoothly until
1900. when I became editor of the
school paper called Youth" said Piesh-
koff. Then something appeared in its
columns which aroused the suspicion
of the government spies, and they raid
ed my room, where they found social
istic litera ture. 7 was arrested and
locked UP in the NOvgorod prison on
April 16, 1900. GOrky was arrested
about the same time ana our cells were
not far apart.
He was only confined for fifteen
days, but 1 was kept a prisoner for
two and one-half months. When Gorky
was released L was transferred to the
cell he had occupied.
After my release I was q marked
man. Finally, 1 could not bear the
life any longer and started for Can

Contrast Is STRIKING.

The introduction to the document is
in striking contrast to the invitation
TO the original conference of 1898
which pointed out how the increasing
~ expensive ornaments were weigh
ing down the various nations o. and
threatening the world with gigantic
catastrophe. and made a noble appeal
for a general disarmament IN order to
substitute for the era of armed peace
the era of peace based upon the set
tlement of international disputes by
the justice of arbitration Not only
does the second invitation not press
the idea of disarmament, but it dis
tnctly excludes it from consideration
and only presents as a programme for
discussion the questions raised by the
so-Japanese war, without touch
ing on questions relating to the limi-
tatiOn Of the naval and land forces"

New RepressiVe Laws.

1t is rather remarkable that along
side this document for the further de-
velOpment of the principles of hu-
lnanity, which formed the basis of the
conference of 1899" the official Mes
senger prints another batch of repres-
sive laws, making it penitentiary Of

loss OF all civil rights, for an unarmed
person to resist the police or other

threats designed to prevent an en-

"The Holy City"

Respecting this beautiful drama,
the Seattle Times of Oct. Sth. has
the following to say:-"We have
not column of space to spare for
comment on the play of last even
ing, though the object would be a
worthy one. 1t was one of those
strong plays which holds interest
at a high tension throughout. The
leading parts were strenuous and
the fire of religious fervor was met
with an equal fire OF fanatical bigot-
ry we'll carried to the end. The
Marias of Edgar Jones was of the
sort to excite the admiration ef
those who adore manly beauty and
noble demeanor. The same might
be said of Salome, the wicked and
sinuous beauty. Even the traitor
Judas was a most commendable
actor, with the part of the most
Infamous villain that ever lived in
history. No sermon or Bible read
ing can equal such a perfor nance
one that s-nds all home with the
thought lhat they have seen some
thing almost too good for the com.
mon stage. The church people
should attend and take thei,
families This magnificent pro-
duction will be seen at the Corvalli:

FOR COLLECTING TAXES.
Plan for County Treasurer to Do It,
Bigger Salaries to Be Paid Them.

1t is possible that later on the tax
collecting for county and city pur-
poses will be done by county treas.
urers instead of by sherifs as has
always been the custom. That
course has been recommended by
the State Tax Commission, and il
the coming legislature adopts the
view and passes law to match, the
treasurer and not the sheriff will
hereafter be the functionary that
will annually take in the skekels OF
the downtrodden taxpayers. Sher-
if Burnett, who is authority on tax
collecting being an expert at the
business, has always believed that
tax collecting properly belongs to
the treasurer. The latter is the Of
fcer by which it is done in Wash
ington. In fact there are but few
states in the Union in which the
sheriff collects the taxes. The COM
missions idea is that the treasur-
er should be given the additional
duty and be paid larger salary
and that the salary of sherifs
should be reduced.

wave troughs.
A furious dog fight on Newport's
main street, although an impromptu
affair, was sufficiently savage and
continued TO the satisfaction of the
most morbid nature. 1t was not
such a dog scrap as ends before
anybody reaches the scene. The
owners of the two dogs didn't fight
nor even have a jawing match,
They simply parted the dogs when
both animals were badly chewed up
and the scrap declared a draw.
When the returning train pulled
out all the fishermen had either
trout or salmon. Not any of them
reported failure, but each was
suspicious of the others claims. 1t
was understood that the presenta-
ton of an undressed salmon was
prima-facie evidence that the fish
had been caught by a troll, but a
keen eye could detect the unmis-
taxable mark of the gill net on
many of the royalspecimens which,
it was claimed, had made such a
gallant fight with the merciless
hook.

KNOWS MORE THAN MEN DO.
About Some Things-A Dog With an
Intelligence Almost Human-ls a
Shepherd.

The prize dog in the county is
probably Dick Kiger's. He knows
more about how todrive sheep than
most men do. By certain signs he
can be sent in any direction, or be
made to do almost anything except
to read poetry or play whist by the
scientific rules. Perhaps he is too
bright dog to do either. His
most remarkable exploit probably
is, when it comes time to car a
bunch of sheep. If the leaders
hesitate to walk up the gang way,
he promptly hops up on the crowd
ed bunch, walks over their backs
until the head ones are reached
and there with few yaps or nips
sends them scampering up the mar
row way into the car. Sheep-like,
the rest quickly follow when the
leaders 60 in, the dog meantime,
having returned to the rear of the
band by walking over their backs.
Those who have seen him work
say his behavior is almost human
in its intelligence.
The animal cost Mr.. Kiger $50
at the state fair, and an offer of SIS
has since been refused for him. The
dog is Shepherd, and is not by
any means noted for his beauty.

Busiest Division on !. c. System.

The Louisville division is said to be
the busiest one on the entire Illinois
Central system. This word has been
sent here and means that the local
shops have more work than even the
Burnside shops, which are the largest
the company has. They are located
near Chicago, says the Paducsh News
Democrat.
In the local yards there are hundreds
Of cars standing on tracks waiting to
be repaired. There are also engines
standing on side tracks that cannot be
accommodated in the shops, as they
are filled with all the work that can bc
crowded into them. While not general
| ~ known. il is a fact that 1000 mer
are being worked today at the loea
shops. This does not include roa'
men.

that the western lines Of the road ha'

and owing to this fact there woul'
probably be no raise in wages. Will

While tearing down an old chimney

The tract Of land on which this ore
was found. years ago belonged to a
man named Stanley. This was in the
days when the people made their own
bullets. and old settlers recall to mind
that the owner Of this land was very
miserly. and did not wish it to become
known where his treasure troye was
located.

while out hunting he would tell whoever
was with him to wait until he got back,
