PEACE CONFERENCE is OVER
Barbosa and Won Bieberstein Shine
Most Clearly.

London-The Hague peace confer
ence is over. Some of the delegates
have already started for home. Since
June Is, when the conference opened,
two of the 225 delegates have come
conspicuously to the front as real
statemen. One is Ruy Barbosa of
Brazil, the other Baron Marshal Won
Bieberstein of Germany.
Barbosa came to The Hague I'M
known. He won his reputation by the
skill with which he championed the
smaller powers cause.
Won Bieberstein was the man chosen
to wreck the compulsory arbitration
proposition, and he looked after the
kaiser's interests well.
His reward will be the German
ambassadorship to England when
Prime Metternich retires. Barbosa is
expected to be the next president of
Brazil. He is vice president now.
The British delegation took the
BOBBY prize. Sir Edward FRYE Sir
Henry Howard and Lord Reay planned
to run the conference, blacklisting any
anti-universal arbitration power as a
menace to the worlds peace.
They were repeatedly out-maneu-
vered by Won Bieberstein, and return
ed home with less prestige than when
they arrived

TO HASTEN LAND FRAUD CASES
Northwest Trials Lag Too Lonq for
Patience

1t is known. that the general land
office has many cases involving illegal
entries in the Pacific northwest, which
have been recommended to the depart
ment of justice for action, over which
some officials think there has been
undue delay in getting the cases into
court for trial. In some instances in
dlctments were returned more than
three years ago and the defendants
nave never yet faced a jury. 1t is be-
neved mild protest has been regis
tered with the department of Justice
against the delay in trying cases so
long pending. Indictments have been
pouring in in many states and the
dockets are rapidly filling. The inten-
ton has been announced to prosecute
ldaho cases vigorously, yet in Ore
gon there are cases which have been
pending since 1903. Conferences have
been held here during the past week.
indicating that efforts are being put
forth to get these and other cases to
trial, so intense activity may be looked
for in many states by the special and
regular attorneys for the government.

ASK FOR FOUR MORE MONSTERS
Navy Department Yearns for More Big
BattIeships.

The navy department has practical
ly decided to ask congress for four
battleships, two of which shall be sis
ter ships to the 20,000-ton Delaware
and North Dakota, authorized by the
last congress and already contracted
for, and the other two still larger 1t
is doubtless true, however, that the
department will be measurably salts
fed if congress consents to allow two
more 20000-ton battleships to COM
plete, with the two already under con-
struction, one division, it being con-
sidered that such an arrangement is
most effective. If such ships are au-
thorized there is little probability that
they will differ in any respect from
the Delaware and North Dakota. which
represent at present the last word In
naval construction
Something of furry occurred in
the state, war and navy departments
when it was discovered that the Ma
Mia Times on August 26 printed an al
legged dispatch stating that the fleet
had reached the straight of Magellan.
The effect of such misinformation, it
is thought, might easily have precipi-
tated trouble with Japan.

Three days later it was landed and an
inspection OF the cane slips showed
but a few hoppers and great many
OF the parasites.
Two of the parasites have been ef-
fective. One of them stings the hop
per and in time it dies. That species
belongs to the ant family. The other
watches the hopper until she lays hei
eggs and then bores into them and
deposits her own eggs in that OF tbs
hopper. This is apparent in a lea1
that Is marked with holes. for the hop
per and her enemy are prolific.
The pest has been so reduced in num-
bers that it will no longer be fearet
by the sugar planters and as there art
at least half dozen parasites it is no
thought the hopper will ever again ge
such a foothold as it had few years
ago on the Island of Hawaii.
