for concerted action to terminate hos.
tilities in Central America. if the re-

the future settlement of all disputes
between Central American countries
and to submit this to Nicaragua and
request her adhesion, failing which
that country would find itself standing
alone among the Central American
states and without their sympathy.
It is believed that a few days will
bring about some important develop

declared or general war will follow
between Nicaragua on the one side
and the remaining four states on the

PLANNING AN end
OF HARTMAN RULE

New York, April 1.-THE New York
Times this morning prints the follow
ing concerning the early retirement
of E. Fl. Hartman from the control of
the Union Pacific railway:
Gas a result of the developments in
the affairs of the Union Pacific rail-
road over the last six months, or from
the time of the August dividend dec
larations, through to the Interstate
commerce bearing, it is the opinion of
influential banking interests 10th here
and in Europe that change must be
made and is in fact near at hand in
the administration of the property.
"This does not mean that Mr.. Har-
riman will resign, nor is there any ev-
idence that he is wholly out of SYM
pathy with the general conviction that
the system is now so vast and ramified
and SO prominently fixed in the public
eye that it is desirable from every
point of view that the responsibility
for such of it's acts as affect the people
generally be divided among as many
strong men as possible. This will be
accomplished through strengthening
the roads executive committee"

SAYS CONSPIRACY STORY
IS A CALL To ARMS

Washington, April 9.-The specu
lation and surmise that followed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's sensational announce
ment of erich mems conspiracy" to
overthrow his administration and pol
icias, have proved almost as interest
ng as the statement itself.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press, who, like the
newspaper be represents, is personally
friendly to the president, voices the
most generally accepted view when he
declares in dispatch that there is a
profound political purpose responsib BILE
for Mr.. Roosevelt's remarkable state
ment regarding the alleged political
conspiracy. Without questioning the
presidents sincerity in believing that
a group of wealthy men stand ready to
do all in their power to prevent the
continuance of his policy after March
4, 1909, the correspondent declares
that undue Importance is being at
tached to it, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
is using the circumstance to advantage
by putting his friends and supporters
on their guard.
The dispatch in question says that
the presidents announcement is moth
ing more nor less than ga call to
arms"
At least'a dozen leading newspapers
explain the presidents action as a
shrewd political move, and more than
one of them redeclares that Mr.. Roose-
velt is the most masterful politician of
this or any other time in American
history.

Wr. bryan Writes Letter for Seattle
High School Paper.
Seattle, April Through the eff
orts of Charles Milne, editor in chief
of the Seattle high school pu hlication
"Whims," the second article contri-
huted by prominent men Of the nation
has been received from William Jen-
nings Bryan and will appear in April
"Whims," to be published Monday.
Mr.. Bryan writes from Lincoln, Ne
hraska, as follows:
Let no one leave school with the
hope of making more at some remun-
erative work. Education is better
capital than one can accumulate out
of school No one can have too much
education, il with the education he
has moral purpose which directs his
course.
Education is only failure where it
separates one in sympathy from his
fellows and makes HIM less interested
in the masses. Education is always
. blessing in the possession Of ono who
has learned to measure life BY what
he puts into the world rather than BY
what be gets ont Of the world. =

OFFICIAL THREATS IGNORED

Douma Orators Unanimous in Demand
ing Expropriation Of Lands.
st. Petersburg, April 9.-The whole
session of the lower house Of parlia-
ment,ye terday was given up TO agra4
rian debates, and in spite Of the
threats in the official Rossia that the
advocacy of compulsory appropriation
Of lands might result in the dismissal
of the douma, every speaker, except
the Conservatives, urged this as the
sole salvation of the peasantry.
One peasant deputy declared that
he ''did not come here to talk pur
chase Of lands, but to take it." The
cabinet submitted draft of law
replacing three varieties of MARTA,
law by single one, namely, state Of
extraordinary security proclaimable
by the emperor, which places supreme
power in the hands Of special COM
manders in chief, who ale subordinate

trary varieties Of the law.
