STRESS ON NAVAL POWER

New York. February 1.--Capt. Rich
mond p Hobson of Alabama was the
principal speaker at a mass meeting OF
the Peace Society Of New York city to-
night Captain Hobson among other
things said;
with the approach of the second The
ance that the whole attention of the
world be turned to peace.
THE business that is selfish cannot
grow to a large proportion and Is des-
tined to fall; the corporations that per-
sist in depressing will be ground to pow
der; the nation that remains isolated and
depends upon armaments to exploit weak
er people will lose its colonies, will lose
the commerce of the world, and lose It's
own standing among the great nations.
1T Is my opinion that the success of
the great movement for peace will be
secured by following the path already
mapped out by America at home, pro-
vldlng an international constitutional sys-
tenn that guarantees to each nation COM
plete charge of its own local affairs of
the world. and will secure 1t from ag-
gression by others. We have worked out
the system in our life, and are thus con-
stituted the logical leader In construct
ing similar system for the world
''As a practical man / realize that our
standing and influence with military
powers that would tend to ignore arbl-
tration must depend upon our navy.
There is no question In my mind that
the surest safeguard against the acttal
outbreak of war for ourselves, and for
the world, would be the naval power in
the hands OF. the peace nation

Several Feet Water in Northern
Part Of City
ARKANSAS LEvEE INTACT
Private Embankment Breaks Below
Vcksburg-Jefferson Davis Planta-
ton Fooded-Negro browns.
Threatening at Natchez.

Memphis, February with the exeep-
ton of several minor breaks in the pro-
teeting levee in the north section of
this city, the levees throughout this dis
trict remain intact.
At Hollybush landing, where 1t was
feared last night a break could not be
averted, strenuous efforts were made to-
day toward strengthening the embank-
ment and tonight hope is entertained
that the levee will withstand the strain
of the rising water
The local gauge tonight registered 40
feet, rise of 0.2 foot in the preceding
twelve hours. The highest heretofore re-
corded at this point is 40 and 1t Is an
ticipated the present rise will reach a
stage of 40.5 In the northern section of
the city the district north of Poplar
boulevard and west of Fourth street is
under water at some places to a depth
of several feet Third street, north of
Auction, is also inundated. Residents of
the flooded territory populated largely
by negroes, have been removed to higher
ground.
The pumping station is working to its
full capacity, and making satisfactory
headway in relieving the flooded district
Reports from Helena, Ark, tonight are
that the main levee Is still intact and a
break is not anticipated.
A considerable area in this section,
however, is flooded because of the breaks
of the protection levee.
From points south of this city satisfac-
tory reports are received. Capt. @. NJ
HOFFMAN, United States engineer in charge
of the Vicksburg district. stated today
that the levees in that district were in
excellent condition.

cation shall be conducted with the par

FIREMEN DISPUTE
FINALLY SETTLED
LETTER BY MANAGER OF SOUTH
ERN PACIFIC REGARDED AS CON-
TRACT HAS EXPIRED, AR6ITRA-
TORS DECIDE.

Houston, Tex, February 1.-The dis
pute between the Southern Pacific rail-
road and its locomotive firemen who went
on strike on December % last, but sub
sequently returned to work, was finally
settled today by the decision of the board
of arbitration. The question before the
board was to determine whether or not
letter written by Manager w. G. Van
vleck of the railroad to an official Of
the firemen's union, constituted a con-
tract with that organization.
The letter acquiesced In the nremen's s
claim OF control of the seniority of the
switch engineers members of the brother
hood. i'sa ian
The finding of the board Is to the effect
that the letter did constitute a supple
mentary contract. covering the Texas
line only, but that 1t expired on the date
May 6. 1906. when the firemen assert that
their contract was abrogated by the road
signing an agreement with the Brothef-
hood OF Locomotive Engineers, granting
to that organization the seniority clause
formerly exercised by the firemen.
The arbitrators further find that the
firemen acted in good faith in asserting
their claim, that the contract did not
expire until January u, 1907.
