THE CENTRAL AMERICAN PROTOCOL

IHL CEN nh 5hEhItdN IbOi c'1CD'
\ marked step toward permanent peace on
basis of justice taken by the five Centrdl
American states on Tuesday in their acceptance
of the invitation of the United States and Mex
leo to enter a peace conference at Washington
few weeks hence and meantime to hold all
pending controversies in allegiance for reference
to that meeting. This arrangement was pro-
posed some time ago, and the diplomatic efforts
of this country have since been directed toward
securing its acceptance. 1t may be expected
that the conference will meet probably In No
vember next, and that its result Will be the sign
ing of a treaty by all five states committing
them to perpetual peace and to the submission
of all controversies which may arise among
them to adjudication or arbitration by the
United States, and Mexico or one of them
1t would be rash to indulge the illusion that
this will make peace In that long troubled re-
gion absolutely certain. There have been other
peace treaties before. which have been broken
The great danger, against which 1t seems almost
impossible 10 guard, is that OF domestic insur-
recton or revolution in some of the states. In
deed most Of the wars among them have had
such causes. Insurgents not only disregard in
ternational boundaries but sometimes purposely
transgress them for the sake of provoking inter
national complications. There is danger. too,
of a successful revoIutionst repudiating the
treaties made by the government which he has
overthrown. just as Muley Hafid in Morocco
frankly declares that if he succeeds In Ousting
Abdul AZz from the throne his first act Will be
TO repudiate the Algeciras convention. 1t must
be said. however, that such acts have been rare
in Latin America.
But while illusions not to be cherished.
If does seem reasonable to regard the arrange
ment which is being made as affording a
better promise of peace in Central America than
have seen before. The implication of
the United States and Mexico in the compact
gives it authority which no mere agreement
among the five states has ever possessed.
The pledge of peace will be made not only
among themselves but also to their two great
northern neighbOrS That the physical power
of those neighborS will be invoked 10 compel full
fIment of the pledge may not be expected or de-
sired. We should unspeakably regret any oc-
casOn for any exercise threat Of exercise Of
that power But the moral COnstrant of the
convention must be strong among those states,
with q strength which should naturally increase
with time and with the increasing benefits of
the peaceful and just relations thus established.

The refusal of Samuel Parsons 10 accept per-
manently the Park Commissionership and the
Street Cleaning Department at the end Of three
months service show the difficulty of obtain
ing the best men as heads Of municipal depart
ments. In these cases the reason is not the ia
miIiar one that the public service does not pay
enough to attract the best talent. Both of
these men prefer subordinate places in the
public service where they can follow their own
bent to higher places with simply general
executive work and the uncertain incumbency
of department heads in New York.

Seeing how largely the British government is
concerned with the politics of the European Con-
tinent it is interesting to recall Cobdens decree
of forty-odd years ago. that 'henceforth we
shall observe absolute abstention from Conti-
mental politics. That must be bracketed with
his austere condemnation of all who dared to
doubt that soon every nation in the world would
be converted to Free Trade So far absten-
ton from Continental politics goes. England has
never yet become Cobdente and seems to be

Remains Of Six Soldiers Found.

While blowing in the orchard on
what is known as the old Capt. David
Smith farm, along the Norfolk and
Western Railway, about mile west OF
Sharpsburg, Frank Otto and his SON.
in-law, Arthur Fry, on Tuesday came
across the remains of six soldiers. The
bodies had been buried side by side in
the orchard presumably after the bat
tie of Antietam. In several instances
the clothing and shoes of the soldiers
seemed to be intact, but few NOM
ents after tfie air reached them they
crumbled into dust. The fact that the
clothes were blue and the buttons such
as were worn by Union soldiers is re-
garded as conclusive evidence that the
remains are of Federal soldiers. Along
side Of one of the bodies was found a
sword in fair state of preservation,
also epaulettes and large buttons, in oil
eating that the remains were those OF
an officer. In one skull bullet was
imbedded. In another instance a leg
of one of the men had evidently been
amputated, the bone showing every
evidence of amputation. Mr.. Otto and
Mr. fry placed the remains in box
and turned them over to Capt. j. V.
Davis, superintendent of Antietam Ma
tional Cemetery. If the remains can be
fully identified as those of Union sol
diers they will be inferred IN the Ma
tional Cemetery. -Hagerstewn Herald.
An INVESTIGATION revealed the fact
that the remains were those of Con-
federate soldiers. NJ. f. Snavely, of
Sharpsburg, has record of the names
of soldiers who had been buried at the
different places on or near the battle
field, and he found that the names OF
the men found in the oreha ID were as
follows: Col. W. Millican, 10Th Geor-
gia, by whole side the sword was

Mileage Books

Announcement has been made that
after the first of January next, the sale
of mileage books on the trunk lines IN
West Virginia will be stopped. The
tw0-cent fare law, which went into ef-
feet on the railroads of the state, with
the exception of few short lines un-
der fifty miles in length, Monday, is
responsible for this move The advisa-
bility of disseminating the sale of these
books will be discussed at a joint meet
ing of the members of the associations
to be held soon.
Passenger officials of majority of
the larger railroads are said to be in
favor of this move. tbs generally be-
lieved that within the next few months
the sale of these books will be greatly
reduced, especially after the new rail-
road law becomes effective in the state.
Some railroad officials however, are in
So.
In other states where the two-cent
fare law is in effect railroad officials
claim there has been big decrease in
the sale of mileage books, and about
the only persons purchasing these
books are those who intend to travel
through states where the.new law has
not become effective.
