PEACE CONGRESS-
Comes to Brilliant Close in
New York City,
AMiTY OF ALL NATIONS
Was Concerted Prayer Of the Host of
Delegates-Carnegie Given Cross
Of Legion Of Honor by
Republic of France.

The first convention Of the Ma
tional Arbitration and Peace Con-
gress came to an end at New York
Wednesday night, after a three days
session, with Two large banquets, one
at the Hotel Astor and the other
at the Waldorf-Astoria. The event
Of greatest interest was the decora-
tion of Andrew Carnegie with the
cross of the Legion of Honor by the
French government, represented py
Baron D'Estournelles De Constant, in
appreciation of his work for peace,
and his gift OF the palace at The
Hague. The baron announced in his
address at the Waldorf-Astoria ban
gust that the cross of commodore Of
the Legion of Honor had been con-.
ferred by the French government on
Andrew Carnegie, and then proceed
ed to the banquet at Hotel Astor.
where the decoration was formally
presented to Mr.. Carnegie.
Peace among all peoples, a peace
that would be lasting, if not, indeed
eternal-that was the ideal raised
aloft, to be followed by all nations,
by the speakers at the dinner at
the Waldorf-Astoria, arranged to
close the deliberations of the peace
congress.
The American flag hung from the
wall at the head of the dining apart
ment, and around it were suspended
the flags Of the other nations with
here and there banners bearing the
coats of arms of the countries that
will take part in The Hague confer
ence, and that have taken an active
part through their citizenship in the
present congress. The floral decora-
tions on the tables were roses and
carnations. ..-
After a reception in the Astor ho-
tel gallery, the six hundred guests,
who included both men and women,
passed into the banquet room. As
the company entered the hall, Kren-
ser's "old Netherlands hymn Of
thanks was sung by the choral mem
bers of the Ruhenstein Club. The
singers, all young women, stood in
the upper balcony and while singing
they waved the flags Of a.: nations.
Then while the guests were seating,
the choirs rendered "the peace fes-
tival hymn Spectators occupied the
boxes in the balconies, Nand> by the
time the speaking began, every con-
venience for listening to the ad-
dresses had been taken.
Former Mayor Seth Low OF New
York, the presiding officer at the din
ner, was attended by those who had
been requested to speak.
A feature of the dinner was the
demarcation of the various tables by
countries and states to represent the
aspiration of all nations sitting in
harmony:
The national costumes of some Of
the foreign delegates were strongly
contrasted with the usual coloring
found in the American dress, suggest
ing the international meaning of the
occasion. The brilliant gold brocad.
ed coats Of two educational delegates
from India, as we'll as their gold
striped trousers, contrasted with the
dress of the delegates from China, and
seemed to emphasize the rich color
ing Of the banquet room.

WESTERN FRUIT KILLED.
Sweep of Wintry Blizzard in Many
States Will Entail Loss of Several!
Millions OF Dollars.

A sharp drop in temperature fol-
lowed the snow storm Saturday night,
Il degrees above zero being recorded
By the weather bureau in Denver and
Pueblo, and 1ruit of all kinds in east
ern Colorado, according TO specials,
was nipped in the bud. At Grand
Junction, the center OF the more inn
portant fruit region west Of the con-
.inental divide, the temperature fell
80 degrees Sunday, and the weather
observer there reported that the con-
dition CT fruit was grave. While dam
age 10 the fruit in Colorado, accord
ing to some estimates, may amount TO
several million dollars, nearly all other
crops will be merely benefited BY the
moisture. =
A remarkable feature Of tie snow
storm was that it was more severe
in the lowlands than n the mountains.
While the precipitation covered
large area, including all Colorado, wy
oming and part of South Dakota, Ne
braska Texas and New Mexico, the
snow was mostly confined to the east
ern slope of the Rocky mountains,
and extended from Lander, Wyo., and
Rapid City, S. D., on the north to
Santa Fe. n. NJ, and Roswell, n. NJ,
on the south.
Only slight snow occurred west
OF the continental divide. The storm
originated in the north and worked
it's way slowly to the south, passing
out OF the state late Sunday after
noon.
Frederick H. Brandenburg, district
forecaster, who estimated the snow
fall in Denver at II IL incnes, SAID
that though the snow storm was re-
markaDle in that city for April, it was
by no means unprecedented. On April
q. % and %, 1885, the records show
snowfall OF 80 inches, q inches
falling on the last day OF the storm.
On the whole, it is asserted that
while the storm was heavier than any
Of the entire winter, and some damage
is reported, the resulting good will
offset the loss many fold.
Adyices from Omaha, Neb., state
that as a result of the unprecedent-
edly warm weather which prevailed
during the greater part of the month
of March, and the freezing weather
and heavy snowfall of the last few
days, early fruits, such as peaches,
plums and cherries, in that region
have been injured, but the general
opinion is that the damage is not as
great as has been reported. Indeed,
many are of the opinion that while
early fruits have been injured, and
in some instances killed, benefits re-
sulting to the grain crop from the
snow storm more than Offset the dam
age.
Snew fell in Ell Paso,sTexas, Sunday
morning at a lively rate for more than
an hour This is the latest snowfall
ever known there, and the tempera-
ture. which was So degrees, did much
damage to the small fruit and truck
gardens in the valley yariously estl-
mated at from $50,OGO to 100000.
