Elements at Ermita and Malate es-
capped through the hard work of the
fremen, assisted by soldiers and cit
liens. The flames, famed by a heavy
gale, swept an area of 100 acres
clean, within two hours, and destroy
ed the homes of 100 residents and l.
600 natives. The native refugees are
now sheltered in the schools and
other public buildings many are camp
ing in open spaces. The damage is
conservatively estimated at 100000
in gold. No CASUALTIES 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 iremen-
They assert that 269 houses were de-
stroyed and 1900 natives rendered
homeless. Their estimate Of the fin
ancial loss is the same as that of the
other municipal department. 1t is
thought that the figures given by the
health officers are nearer correct.
The districts of ~Singalong, Pace
and .Banbang, lie to the east of the
walled city of Manila and just behind
the residential obstruction Of Malate
and Emrita, which face the bay. Near

room for the formal approval OF the
finding. Judge Ball had Just ordered
Hohman's arrest for contempt of
court when the news of the assault
was received. Immediately the Judge
adjourned his court to the operating
room, and there Hoffman, with his
fellow Jurors in a ring around the
table, signiied his agreement to the
verdict by raising his right hand.

Slowly Hoffman raised his arm at
the elbow until it was almost perpen
dicular on the operating table. A
nurse who had been looking in at>the
door fell in a faint from emotion, and
two doctors carried her away. The
verdict then was opened and read by
the clerk. The eleven jurors were
polled, and answered in the afirma-
tive. The Court instructed Hoffman
to raise one hand for affirmative and
two for negative, and slower than be-
fore the man brought his hand up
from his side. The sight was so af-
fecting that most of the men in the
room were in tears.
Judge Ball left the operating room
sobbing, and Lonagan himself was
almost overcome. Twelve stitches
in all were taken in Hoffman's throat.
The windpipe was almost severed.
The doctors held out little or no hope
of recovery.

NATIONAL PEACE CONGRESS
Opening Session Of the Confer
encs Held in New, York City.
Roosevelt Urges international Arhi.
Observation-Disclosures Between
Peace and righteousness.

New York City.-Tle Peace Con-
gress got down to real business in the
great white-draped interior of Car
negie Hall under the joint auspices
of city, state and nation, with the
hand of Andrew Carnegie at the helm
to steer the movement for universal
peace along a safe and harmonious
course.
About two-thirds of the $500 who
crowded into the meeting were
women,' and with these were about
1900 men delegates to the Congress,
each wearing the white badge of the
movement. Hti
Carnegie Hall was filled from or
chestra to itopmost gallery, the ma
jority of the audience being women
and elderly men. The platform was
occupied by the delegates and their
friends, as were the rows of boxes.
Andrew Carnegie called the meeting
to order, and Immediately introduced
Mayor Mcclellan, who made a brief
address of welcome.
Andrew Carnegie, the little father
of the Peace Congress, came on the
stage promptly at 8 p. M, the hour
set for the opening of the congress,
at the head of a tiny procession
made up of Mayor Mcclellan, repre-
senting the city; Gov. Hughes, the
State, and Secretary of State Elihu
Root, the national Government. These
three made speeches, and the national
Government was further represented
by a long letter from President Roose-
welt.
A striking feature of the congress
was the tremendous reception given
Gov. Hughes when he rose to speak.
Though there had been much hearty
applause for the others, it was brief;
but when the Governor stood up there
was not only hand-clapping but
cheers which lasted for n minute
and thirty seconds.
President Roosevelt's sentiments
toward international peace were not
altogether in accord with those Of
Andrew Carnegic. The Presidents
letter came out for peace, not at any
price, but with righteousness, and
later Mr.. Carnegie, in his speech, said
the two things were inseparable, and
asked the audience to imagine the
state of mind of a man who held
otherwise.
In his letter the President decried
disarmament as impractical, warned
against flamboyant utterances, re-
viewed the many achievements of this
country in the interests OF peace, de-
clared that the second Hague Con-
ference could not accomplish all that
the peace advocates hoped for, though
it would be a step in the right di-
rection, and suggested the limiting
of the size of warships as a most
practical means of diminishing the
cost of naval ornaments. .f..
At the evening session Mr.. Car
negie was still belligerent. He took
issue with Professor Hugo Munster
berg, who asserted that GermanX's
army was not a burden on her people,
to the very apparent embarrassment
of the professor. .s .
William j. Bryan spoke for a few
minutes in the evening.
Extra police we're again necessary
to control the crowds that flocked to
the evening session. More than half
of the throng was made UP of women,
many of them showing the white hair
of years.

ARBOR DAY ANNUAL ISSUED.
Advice Regarding Tree-Plantins Sent to tie
Schools.

New York City.-The AIbor Day
annual for Friday, May 5, has been
sent out to the schools of the State
by the Education Department at AL
bany. The pamphlet is illustrated,
some of the cuts showing how tbs
happy natural location of a country
schoolhouse may be improved by sys-
tematic planting.
A letter from A. S. Draper, Com
missioner of Education, to the schools
is contained in the annual, and there
are chapters on trees and shrubs for
school grounds, the forests of New
York, and a description of the Fair,
view Garden School at Yonkers. In
discussing tree-planting, the annual
says:
During the past eleven years there
have been planted on the school
grounds OF the State of New York
1860 trees. From the establish,
ment of Arbor Day in 1889 until
1896 there were planted 145,241
trees, making a total in the past
eighteen years of 31S,92C. There are
owe 10000 school commission dis
tricts in the State. This would give
more than thirty trees to every dis
trict if they were proportioLately dis.
tributed.
"Since the establishment of ArboI
Day practically every district has at
one time or another reported the
planting of some trees. : An inquiry
recently addressed to the school COM
missioners revealed the fact that
there r yer 1000 districts in the
State with absolutely ne trees or
shrubs on their school grounds, and
many others with only a few stray
Cling trees. Further than that, a
very small per cent. of the whole
number Of districts give any sort of
attention to the are of their grounds.
Apparently, there is more need
for the care of trees and shrubs than
there is for actual planting. 1t is
easy enough for an enthusiastic
teacher to work up appropriate cere-
monies for Arbor Day, but too often
the teacher finds no practical re-
Spouse from the patrons of the school.
ut ought tc be understood by
school officers everywhere that mere
sentiment will not arouse the patrons
Of a school district to beautify their
school grounds. The whole matter
must in some way be put before them
on q plain business basis. They must
see that it pays, as in the end it most
certainly does, to paint the school
house whenever it needs it, to plant
and care for trees and shrubs about
the grounds, and give the whole place
an inviting air of cleanliness and re-
spectability that commands the re-
spect and admiration of the stranger
and teaches an Invaluable lesson to
the home community"

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Tie President Appeals to the School Children
to Observe It T~hOughtfuTlY. |

Washington, D. G. = President
Roosevelt issued a kind of personal
proclamation to "The school children
of the United States" 1t contains an
appeal to them to observe Arbor Day
in a thoughtful spirit, with the pur-
pose of preserving the forests for
future generations. This is the
Presidents appeal: ).
To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (Which means simply
stree day") is now observed in every
State in our Union and mainly in the
schools. At various times from Janu-
airy to December, hut chiefly in this
month of April, you give a day or
part of a day to special exercises and
perhaps to actual tree planting in
RECOGNITION of the Importance of trees
to US as a nation and Of what they
WELD in adornment, comfort and use
full products to the communities in
which you live.
It is we'll that you should celebrate
YOUR Arbor Day thoughtfully, for
within your lifetime the nations need
OF trees will become serious. We Of
an older generation can get along
with what we have, though with
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
. want what nature once so bountifully
%suupIied and man so thoughtlessly
destroyed; and because CT the+ want
YOU will reproach US not for what we
have used but for what we have
wasted.
For the nation, as fer the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
to success is the right use of what we
have and the improvement of present
opportunity. If you neglect to pre-
pare yourselves now for the duties
and responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, if you do not learn
the things which you will need to
know when your school days I over,
o will suffer the consequences. So
any nation which in it's youth lives
only for the day reaps without SOW
ing and consumes without husband
ing, must expect the penalty of the
prOdigal whose labor could with diff
Guilty find him the bare means of life.
A people without children would
face a hopeless future; q country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are so used that they
cannot renew themselves will soon
vanish and with them all their bene-
hts. A true forest is not merely a
storehouse full of wood, but, as it
were, a factory Of wood, and at the
same tine a reservoir of water.
When you help to preserve u for
eSts or to plant new ones you r
acting the part of good citizens. The
value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to be taught in the schools, which
aim to make good citizens of you. If
Your Arbor Day exercises help you to
realize what benefits each n of You
receives from the forests and how by
yOur assistance these benefits may
,0ntinue, they will serve a good end.

Some Object in Nature Should
Be Given Pupils to Study

Ithica, n. Y.-Several weeks be-
fore Arbor Day some object in nature
should be given to each pupil to
study, so that the results of personal
observations may be contributed to
the celebration of the day. The older
girls and boys may make a profitable
study of trees of the neighborhood.
Have each pupil select a tree, meas
ure it's height and girth, examine it's
bark and manner OF branching, and
its leaves and their. arrangement.
Drawings Of the trees before and
after the leaves appear may be made
and the grain of the wood, the COM
mercial value Of the tree, it's beauty
and strength described. Children CT
the primary grades may sow seeds in
little pots CT boxes in time to exhibit
the plants on Arbor Day.

TRAIN WRECKERs KILL THREE.
Cars Catch Fire After Being DeraiIed

Alexandria, La.-Three men killed
and one, probably fatally injured is
the result of what is believed to be
the work of train wreckers at Che
NEVILLE, thirty miles southeast of
here, on the Texas & Pacific Rail-
road, when a westbound passenger
train plunged into an open switch at
a high rate of speed.
The wreckage caught fire and the
mail car, baggage and express scar
and two passenger coaches were
burned. The dead are Engineer John
J.. Covington, of New Orleans; Fire
man Michael Kass, of New Orleans,
and an unidentified man. Express
Messenger William Rough, of New
Orleans, badly burned, was the man
injured. -.
An investigation showed that the
switch lock had been broken and the
switch turned and the signal lantern
thrown away. ..t

Value Of ArbOr Day--OVer
200, 600 Trees Planted

Albany, N. Y.-Arbor Day has a
two-sided value. 1t teaches to chill
dren a love of nature and of natures
handiwork, the tree, and in the ac-
companying feature Of the observance
of the day-the planting of trees-it
replenishes the stock Of trees, which
for mans use or misuse, has been
sadly depleted. 1t has added to the
State over zoos 900 trees. While this
is scarcely a corporal's guard to the
grand army of trees which has ruth
1essly been cut down, still it is some
thing-an accomplishment that has a
distinct value
