THE DREAM OF PEACE.

Because of the limitations on tele-
graphic service, the deliberations Of
The Hague peace conference have pro-
outside. and with no general knowl-
edge as to the stage it has reached OF
the questions under consideration.
In the early days questions affecting
such matters as collection of debts by
armed force, the rights of private debt
ors in alien countries and other COM
mercial problems involved in the pro-
gram were disposed Of Now the later
and larger proposals affecting maritime
war are up, and a wide divergence of
opinion is divulged. According to Sgd
ney Brooks, the very able correspond
ent of Harper's Weekly, Great Britain
proposed to forbid the use of floating
mines in naval warfare except when
the mines are so constructed as to be-
come automatically useless and inef-
fective when separated from their moor
ings. During the Russo-Japanese war
5000 Of these mines became detached
and drifted into the channels of Asiatic
trade, destroying more than thirty
merchant vessels after the conclusion
of peace. Germany not only objects TO
the prohibition of the floating or sub
marine mine, but would sanction their
use lin the actual and prospective the
atre Of war" which means about any
where the belligerent may choose 10
place them.
In the discussion Of eontraband. the
Americans proposed to exempt all pri-
vate property from seizure at sea ex-
cept contraband of war, but England,
France, Russia and Japan voted against
1t. England maintains that to call
merchant vessels private property is to
minimize their true significance: that
they are really as much a part of a
country's system of transportation as
are the railways on land; that their
seizure. by dislocating industry and
raising prices, brings a severe economic
pressure to bear upon the enemy: that
the right Of capture does not infiict a
direct loss on the owners, as they are
fully insured, nor on the insurers, as
they are In receipt Of war premiums,
but on the whole commerce of the ma
ton; and that it should therefore be
maintained.
At the same time the British dele
gates propose to abolish utterly contra
band of war and to abandon the right
of search, on which England hitherto
has always most strongly insisted The
Americans. on the other hand, while
making private property immune, have
suggested definitions of cOntraband of
so wide a scope as to give the very
greatest latitude for search and confis-
cation. The British proposal safe
guards the rights and interests of neu-
trails, and places the burden of war
upon the belligerents. The American
proposal spares the belligerents and ha-
rasses every neutral
AS In most diplomatic procedure, the
conference has developed a strategic
play OF forces in which the nations con-
ferTing seek individual advantage.
Great Britain. with her vast merchant
marine and powerful navy, would profit
by abandonment of the right of search.
In--any large war in-which she was g

As preliminary. wouldn't it be a
good thing for the Commercial club to
call a general meeting of citizens and

accused associations to explain just

THE MULE Baked.


This is the story Of a baking mule

on Broad street and refused absolutely
to be driven again. After old Abe had
spent his energies on Magnolia for an
hour in the vain endeavor to get him TO

his employers. The. following is what a

And thereby hangs a tale, all too
uncommon, and a fOretaste of Utopia.
Mr.. Williams has a younger brother,
CO-heir with him in the estate they
inherited from their parents The con-
fidence and fellowship between these
two are beautiful and ideal. There
was never division of their heritage,
never settlement of their accounts,
If, indeed, there were such. The prop
erty of one was the property of the
other. What belonged to both belonged
to each. Not only We're their lands
and chattels in common, but their
bank accounts and private purses
were. in common. When the elder
brother was manager the younger
called on him for money OF supplies
when he was in need, and always re-
ceived the full of his requests, and
when the elder entered politics and
was returned to congress the younger
took charge Of the estate. and for four
teen years has been the pursehoIder.
Both are happily married, and each is
the father of seven children. The rela-
tons between them are simply delight
full. 1T is like the precious ointment
upon the head that ran down upon
the beard, even Aaron's beard; that
went down to the skirts of his gar
ments. As the dew of Hermon, and
as the dew that descended upon the
mountains of Zion"

is not dulcet voice, but on this occa-
sion there was a something in the
speech and in the man that challenged
attention and commanded respect.
Congress pricked up its ears, and be-
fore he had spoken "a quarter Of an
hour IL was the opinion OF congress
that this little man would make his
mark, and he did. In argument he is
sound from his political standpoint,
and his language is precise and SIM
ple-no lack of words and no super
fluous words. He is an able and an
accomplished debater. He is fluent and
his self-possession evidences the man
OF thought, the man of culture and
the man of me2tal, moral and physi-
cal courage.
Mr.. Williams saw his party go down
in defeat in 1894 and in 1896. He saw
the Republican majority i'm the Fifty
fourth and Fifty-fifth congresses as
exultant, as intolerant, as insolent as
the Democratic majority had been
after the elections of 1890 and 1892.
He saw the splendid discipline of the
G. o. p. in congress, its clear vision
of the situation, its knowledge of Wpat
it wanted. its indomitable resolution
to attain its ends. and the triumphant
Incorporation of Republican policies in
the law of the land. He saw public
clamor drive congress to hysteria, and
had grown TO be a conspicuous fig
ure on the public stage when the Nc
Kinley administra ton reluctantly en-
tered upon the war with Spain. He
saw the victory that was inevitable

Williams that the very existence OF

Of this question. All that Mr.. Will
Jams or anybody else knows Of the
subject at this time is that the only

only possible way to maintain race

tual integrity and moral charity

NEW INDUSTRY NOW
 FOR ARIZONA VALLEY
Grass For Floor Mating Is Planned to Be Grown
 at Yuma,

Mating grass has been planted on he experimental grounds at the Wood nan ranch in the Yuma valley. E. l. Sawyer. who represents an immense mating factory in BCston, and who Tas in Yuma recently, left with Mir. Petersen, who has charge of the eX- perimental farm. some grasses which had been brought from Japan and they were set out at once.
 The grass was secured in Japan un- der strenuous circumstances. The company which Mr. Sawyer repre- sents, has imported all its mating grasses from Japan. and an attempt to import the plant iself from Japanese soil met with firm resistance. After many months of vain attempts to se- cure the plants with the permission of Japanese officials. Mir. Sawyer final iy decided to secure them as best he could and made arrangements with native boy to get the plants and put them aboard the steamer for him. The lad succeeded in eyading the ofh- cials and hid the plants in the steer age. After the boat left Yokohan search was made and the plants were finally found.
 The company has had to pay for the grass at the rate of 50 cents for each l33 pounds, not including the freight and were determined to secure plants 70 grow in this country.
 The agricultural department has taken great interest in the enterprise and at the suggestion of David Fair child, chief of the agricultural depart nert. MT. Sawyer came to Yuma to try the grass in this soil and climate. The grass grows to a height of forty one inches, and has three-cOrnered stalk. which is cut into three pieces be- fore being woven into mating. It is estimated that 50,00O yards of mating lre used daily in the United States.
 Pv the crude machinery which is used in Japan and operated by women, one worker can weave three yards of mating a day, while with the i'm proved machinery used in America one workman can turn out seventy yards n a day. A mating company which formerly operated in Minneapolis spent over $2OO,0OO perfecting the weaving machinery. and the Boston neapolis firm, has spent SiGG,000 in further improvements on the ma chinery.
 Experiments have been made with the grass plants in South Carolina. but 1t did not flourish there and on his return from Japan Mir Sawyer left plants at Honolulu and at Chino, Cali fornia. Should the experiment meet with success at Yuma, ore more pos Eibility will be added to the long list.
