continuing eastward from the Missis'

the man to whom the Cheyenne council
has granted conditional street railway
franchise. and who desires an electric
lighting franchise also, met with the
council at a special meeting, for the
purpose of enlightening them as 10 his
intentions regarding the franchises,
The enlightenment consisted of the
confession that he didn't know what he
would do with them. Sweeey refused
to agree to deposit the $4,000 forfeit
called for in the street railway fran.
chise before the council granted him
an electric lighting franchise. In fact,
h. refused to promise anything whas
ever. and treated the matter as lightly
as he might the application for dos
tax. The electric light franchise will
come up for final action July I'd and
undoubtedly will be killed at that time

The HaEue.-A Leading plenipoten

The machinery is now moving to
the general satisfaction. as all the
countries are sincerely animated by Il
desire for reciprocal understanding
and the delegates wish TO avoid irri-
tat!ng questions. Thus the discus
sions will certainly be attended by
earnest endeavor, without disagree
able incidents.
The success OF this system has
been rendered easier by the delega-
tions being entrusted TO the most tact.
ful and most distinguished men.
Therefore. the American proposition
relating TO contract debts. which con.
templates only those between private
citizens of one country and the govern
ment OF another. It is predicted will be
adopted with few slight amend
ments."
NJ. bourgeois. president OF the first

speech in favor OF the principle of ar
bitration and produced an excellent
Impression. He gave detailed sur.
vey OF the arbitration convention of
1899. the recent adhesion TO which OF
seventeen additional nations gave 1t
the conservation of the civilized world.
He expressed gratitude TO Andrew
Carnegie for his donation Of the peace
palace. and said since the opening OF
the arbitration court the experience oi
all nations had shown that the work
ing of arbitration might become daily
more simple. As natural result oi
It. he said international justice had en-
tered the domain of practical reality
Public opinion of nations had quickly
grasped It and governments had be
come accustomed to 1t.
The results OF the establishment oi
the court were seen in the thirty-three
additional treaties which had been con
cluded since 1899 and a series of Incl
dents which NJ. Bourgeois recounted
The North sea incident. and the Nene
zuela affair, he pointed out, were
among the cases dealt with by The
Hague court.
NJ. Bourgeois paid graceful compli.
ment to the United States and Presi'
dent Roosevelt for their part in get
ting IN motion the new jurisdiction.
Regarding the task before the com
mission of perfecting the convention
of 1899 he observed that the rules OF

Charges Against Haserman.

Santa Fe, n. M.-Refusing to testify
voluntarily. a subpoena was issued for
+. NJ. McMahon of Colorado Springs,
formerly secretary of the Colorado Ii
tie and Trust Company, compelling
him to appear before the territorial
travelling auditor. Charles V. Stafford,
Sheriff Charles Closson serving the pa
pers. McMahon appeared, but refused
to testify except from an original re-
port he had made to Governor HaSer-
man upon the result of investigating
the financial affairs of the Territorial
Penitentiary under former Superin-
tendent Bursum, chairman of the Re-
publican central committee of the ter
ritory. and who was bitterly antagon-
lied by former Governor Hagerman.
McMahon's report claimed that Bur
sum owed the territory $4,000, and
Bursum, under protest, paid $4,000 of
this. He applied to the courts for an
accounting, and Judge Frank w. Par
ker appointed Travelling Auditor
Charles v. Stafford. Hagerman ap-
pointee, as referee. Stafford, after a
thorough examination, it is believed,
has found that the territory will have
to repay Bursum $4,000, unless Mona
hon can produce evidence verifying his
own findings.
The report was at once sent for, but,
to the astonishment of the officials,
could not be found on the official files
of the governors office and had disap.
peared, like the vouchers for the CON
tingency expenses of the office under
Hagerman. A local paper charges
Hagerman with having taken the re-
port, as well as the vouchers.
