CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION.

According to Washington advices,

OF the republics OF Central America

the United States and OF Mexico favor
this project of federation, but II has

has assumed an attitude that critics
describe as arrogant, seeks to bring
about a federation through the force
of arms, Implying the predominance
of its President, Gen. Zelaya. To
harmonize these various interests win

owing to separation and division is
an anomaly.

NO DISARMAMENT

Tho question OF limitation OF arma-
ments has been finally disposed of. by
the adoption of the following resolution:
",rhe conference confirms the resolu-
ton adopted by the conference OF 1899
in regard to the limitation of military
expenditure, which has considerably in
creased In nearly every country since
that year. Tl.u conference declares 1t
to be highly desirable that the govern
mcnts represented should resume the
serious study of this question
The chief feature of the discussion
of this question was an address by Sir
Edward Fry. the head OF the British
delegation. He pointed out that the
military and naval expenditures of the
principal European countries and the
United States had Increased from ST.
255. 600. 900 IN 1899 to $l,6Oo,000, 900 In 1906.
such" he said, "is peace in the civil
tied world in the twentieth century"
Yet NJ. Nelidoff, president of the con-
ference, was moved to say that the
question of the Limitation of ornaments
is imr<ture, and that any serious dis
cusslon of it would tend TO in1ure the
cause of peace.
Sir Edward made the following an
nouncement on behalf or his govern
ment:
"The government of Great Britain
would be prepared annually to COM
muncate to the powers who would 40
the same the program for the construc-
tfa ~ al NJ "
penditure entailed In that program.
This exchange of information would ia
eilitaIe an exchange of views between
the governments as to reductions which
mighht be effected by mutual agree
ment. The British government believes
that in this way an understanding
might be reached as to the expenditure
which states who agree to follow this
COURSE would be justified in providing
for In their budgets
This appears to be practical sug-
gestion. Nations generally take some
notice of one another, whenever mill
tary steps are considered. The massing
OF troops along frontier military ex-
petitions, naval maneuvers, etc, are
not undertaken without consultation
among the powers interested. 1t should
be possible to add the increase of the
military forces to the questions dipio-
matte etiquette considers of Interest to
more than one power. II so consulta-
ton would soon become the rule, and
II is quite possible that limitation would
finally be the result, Sir Edward sug-
gestion deserves serious consideration,

County Prejudice
Came To His Aid.

The supreme court has granted
a new trial to Patrick Dwyer,
who was convicted of the murder
of a man named Williams in the
district court of Lander county,
this spring. The case is
sent back to the district
court with instructions to grant
a motion for a change of venue
to any other county.
Dwyer, while drunk, shot at
Williams Eand another man
named Dyer, installing them for
enemies against whom he
cherished a grievance. Williams
was killed.
Feeling ran so high in Lander
County that panel after panel of
veniremen was exhausted in an
effort to secure a fair jury. This
point was emphasized by the
counsel for Dwyer in prosecuting
his appeal before the supreme
court and undoubtedly influenced
the granting of a new trial. -

Watching Nevada.
New Exchange Will Open
In Southern City This
Month.

Seats on the Los Angeles-Ne-
vada mining and stock exchange,
which will be open for business
on or about the 18th of this month
were over-subscribed for during
the first day of the offering. This
Is the report of w. E. Lawson,
who has just returned from Los
Angeles where ne spent a
pleasant summers vacation.
The site for the exchange, "
said Mr.. Lawson, is located on
the ground floor of the Herman
W. Hellman building, a beauti-
fully designed skyscraper in the
very heart of the business sec
ton of the city. The floor space
is forty by forty feet and will
accommodate 200 members,
while 230 applied for seats the
day they were offered for sale.
The interest manifested on all
sides 1.-THE Nevada mining in
dustry is surprising. The most
significant feature of the interest
shown lies in the fact that many
of the more prominent real estate
dealers are inclined to make Ne
vada mining Of the first import
ance, relating the real estate
business to secondary place. /"
Mr.. Lawson is intimately
acquainted in many of the bank
ing institutions of Los Angeles
and in private talks with the
heads of departments, learned
that since city real estate has
passed the speculative point, the
people almost unanimously are
turing their attention to southern
Nevada. The business men fully
realize this trend Of sentiment
and are making preparations
to meet it. 1t is understood that
that they will make a strong
effort to secure the bulk of the
commercial business of this Sec
ton.
Mr.. Lawson further stated
that it was the intention of the
promoters of the new exchange
to have an excursion from Tono-
pah and Goldfeld to take a num-
Der of the local operators to Los
Angeles for the opening event.
Mr.. Monnette, of Hayes-Mon-
nette leasing fame of Goldfeld,
will be president of the exchange.
