gale. swept an area of 100 acres
clean. within two hours, and destroy
ed the homes of 100 residents and J.
900 natives. The, native refugees are
now sheltered in the schools and
other public buildings many are camp

conservatively estimated at $2OO,0Ot
in gold. No causalties are reported
The officials of the health depart
ment do not agree with the estimate
of the damage given above which was
made by policemen and tiremen
They assert that 269 houses were de
stroyed and 800 natives rendered
homeless. Their estimate of the Tin
ancial loss is the same as that OF th'
other municipal department. 1t l
thought that the figures given by tn
health officers are nearer correct.

MR.. CARNEGIE ON PEACE
Reply to Letter Prom President Con-
taIning Suggestions Which Mr..
Carnegie Quotes as Objection"
and Proceeds TO Answer.

New York, Special.-Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, who is president of the
peace congress, gave out a statement
az to the results Of the congress inst
closed Although not so designated
by Mr. Carnegie, the statement con-
shtntes a reply to some of the sug-
gesnons contained III the letter which
President Roosevelt addressed to the
congress on its opening day. Mr..
Carnegie quotes these statements cs
objections and proceeds TO answer
them as follows: #.
fOur peace conference has brought
three objections clearly before us.
First, Nations cannot submit all
questions to arbitration.
Answer, Six Of them have recent
ly done so by treaty-Denmark and
the Netherlands, Chile and Argen-
tina, Norway and Sweden.
Second, Justice is higher than
| peace
"Answer, The first principle of nat
ural justice forbiGE men to be judges
when they are parties TO the issue.
All law rests upon this throughout
the civilized world. Were a judge
known to sit upon a case In which lie
was secretly interested he would be
dishonored and expelled from his
high Office. If any individual refus-
ed to submit his dispute with neigh,
Dor to disinterested parties (arbitra,
tors or judges), and insisted upon be-
ing his own judge he would violate
the first principle of justice. If he
resorted to force in defense of his
right to judge, he would be dishonor
ed as a breaker Of the law. Thus
peace with justice is secured through
arbitration, either by court of by trib
unal, never by one of the parties sit
ting as judge in his own cause.
Third, it is neither peace nor jus
tlce. but righteousness that shal
exalt the nation.
"Answer, Righteousness is simpl,
doing what is right. What is just i
always right; what is unjust is Il
ways wrong. 1t being the first prin"i
pie of justice that men shall not b
judges in their own cause to refus
to submit to Judge or arbitrator is IN
just, hence not right, for the essenc
of righteousness is justice. There
fore men who place justice or right
eousness above peace practically pre-
claim as it appears to me, that the
will commit injustice and oiscar
righteousness by constituting then
, selves sole judges Of their own caus
in violation of law, justice and righ
"Civilized man has reached tn
: conclusion that he meets the claims {
: justice and of right only by uphol;
: ing the present reign of law o.
pressing duty is to extend its beniS'
ant reign to combinations of men cal
: ed nations. What is right for eat
Y individual must be right for the n
