ROOTS VISIT TO MEXICO,
Evidences of Our, Cordial Relations With
Our Southern NeigilbOrs.

On the courteous invitation of the
president Of Mexico, the secretary Of
state visited that country in Septem-
Der and October and was received ev-
erywhere With the greatest kindness
and hospitality.
He carried from the government OF
the United States to our southern
Reighbor a message of respect and
good will and of desire for better ac-
quaintance and increasing friendship
The response Srom the government and
the people of Mexico was hearty and
sincere. No pains were spared to
manifest the most friendly attitude and
feeling toward the United States.
4 In view of the close neighborhood of
the two countries the relations which
exist between Mexico and the United
States are just cause for qualification.
We have common boundary of over
1,500 miles from the gulf of Mexico to
the Pacific. Much of it is marked only
by the shifting waters Of the Rio
Grande. Many thousands of Mexicans
IRE residing upon our side Of the line,
and 1t is estimated that over 10000
Americans are resident in Mexican ter
ritory and that American investments
in Mexico amount to over 100000, 900.
The extraordinary Industrial and COM
mercial prosperity of Mexico has been
greatly promoted by American enter
prise, and Americans are sharing
largely In It's results. The foreign
trade Of the republic already exceeds
$24O, 100000 per annum, and Of this
two-thfrds both of exports md imports

THE HAGUE.
What the Second International Peace
Conference Accomplished.

The second international peace con-
ference was convened at The Hague
On the 18th of June last and remained
in session until the 18th of October.
For the first time the representatives
practically all the civilized coun-
tries Of the world united in a temper
ate and kindly discussion of the meth
DDS by which the causes of war might
be narrowed and it's injurious effects
reduced, A.
| Although the agreements reached in
the conference did not in any direction
go to the length hoped for by the more
sanguine, yet in many directions i'm
portant steps were taken, and upon
every subject on the programme there
was such full and considerable discus
sion as to justify the belief that sub
stantial progress has been made to-
ward further agreements in the future
Thirteen conventions were agreed
upon. embodying the definite conclu-
sions which had been reached, and res
OlutiOns were adopted marking the
progress made in matters upon which
agreement was not yet sufficiently
complete to make conventions practi-
cable
The delegates of the United States
were instructed to favor an agreement
TO" obligatory arbitration, the estab-
ltshment of permanent court of arbi-
tration to proceed judicially in the
hearing and decision Of international
causes. the prohibition Of force for the
collection Of contract debts alleged to
! be due from governments to citizens Of
other countries until after arbitration
IS to the justice aud amount Of the
'cht ard tll2 time and manner Of pay
snent. the immunity of private proper
~ ct sea, the better definition of the
rights OF neu.rals and. in case any
! measure to Tat end should be intro
(.uced, the limitation of ornaments.
In tAe field Of peaceful disposal Of in
;e.uational differences several impor-
tant advances were made. First, as to
obligatory arbitration Although the
difference failed to secure a unani-
nous agreement upon the details Of
~ eAsioi lOi' ODISalOFy drDlLidIlOu,
! Gid resolve as follows:
1T is unanimous az in accepting
the principle for obligatory arbitra-
ION: C) in declaring that certain diff
ferences, ana notably those relating to
the Interpretation ana application Of
International conventional stipuIations,
ire susceptible of being submitted to
obligatory arbitration without any re-
striction."
In view Of the fact that as result
If the discussion the vote upon the
definite treaty Of obligatory arbitra-
lion which was proposed stood 80 in
favor to against the adoption of the
treaty there can be little doubt that
the great majority of the countries Of
the world have reached a point where
they are now ready to apply practically
the principles thus unanimously agreed
upon by the conference.
The second advance and very great
'nn is the agreement which relates to

actual needs is to perform III time OF
peace whatever maneuvers might be
necessary in time of war. After war
is declared it is too late to find out the
needs. That means to invite disaster.
This trip to the Pacific will show what
some OF our needs are and will enable
us to provide tor them. The proper
place for an officer to learn his duty is
ut sea. and the only way in which a
navy can ever be made efficient IS by
practice at sea under all the conditions
which would have to be met if war
existed
