"Ike' Stevenson, the Wisconsin
millionaire lumberman, who has
been standing candidate for the U.
S. Senate for more than decade, is
now making plea for half loaf in
the shape of Spooner's unfinished

able man, but he is now in his dot
age and in the senate would be
classed with the Depews and Platts.
However, the LaFollette faction
needs the money, and about the
only way they can make connection

CENTRAL AMERICAS
 TIGHT PEACE PACT
Republics Are Committed to
 Obligatory Arbitration
CREDIT IS DUE TO BROWN
Future Differences Between Salvador and Nicaragua Adjusted By the Presidents of the United
 States and Mexico.

Washington, May 29-'rhe state depart ment today received translation of the treaty of peace negotiated at Amapala, Honduras, under which friendly relations were re-established between Nicaragua and Salvador, allowing their estrange- ment over the conflict between the for mer and Honduras when Salvador allied herself with the Honduras republic. The treaty seems to be more far-reachng than had been supposed. 1t commits the re- publics to obligatory arbitration, should trouble arsie in the future, and in pro- viding for a peace congress to be held a Corinto, Nicaragua, the five sister re- publcs in Central America are invited to for ma peace pact governing commerce, navigation and any other questions that may be judged profitable to Central American interests"
 It is believed here that the treaty would not have been negotiated except for the mediation of Philip Brown, American charge at the legations of Guatemala and Honduras. In the instrument itself a complaint is paid to MT. Brown, whose part was played upon his own responsi- blity and without the suggestion of the state department The treaty atipulates that any diffrenece that may arise In the future between Salvador and Nicaragua that might alter their good relations shall be adjusted by means of the obligatory arbitration of the presidents of the United States and of Mexico jointly, who shall have the power in case of not arriving a.L an agreement, to name a third person whose decision shall be final.
 The president of Mexico will have the right to delegate his faculties as arbitra- tor upon the person of the Mexican am bassador at Washington, or upon the per son that he may designate.
 The treaty also provides that "as a manifestation of the sincerity with which the sgnatory governments have proceed ed and also of the confidence that they have in the fulfllment of all the clauses of this treaty, they offer with the best good will to issue to their respective countries a decree of unconditional and ample amnesty in favor of their country men who may have taken opposite sides in the late events in Honduras"

HUDSON HARMON ON
 TARIFF REVISION Reduction Should Be With Fair
 ness to All
 CITES PANAMA INCIDENT Judge Harmon Says Government Com pIained When Charged More Than
 Foreign Prices--some -s With the People.
CITES PANAMA INCIDENT

Cincinnati, May 29.-"Revision of the tariff by the friends of the people," was the subject of an address tonight before the Democratic club by Judson Harman, attorney general in the cabinet of Presi- dent Cleveland, who has been mentioned in eastern newspapers as a democratic presidential possibility in 1908. After dis cussing various public questions, Judge Harmon said:
 "A short time ago the government made a great outcry because it was charged more for material and supplies for the Panama canal than the same dealers sold like articles for abroad, after paying for longer shipments. It threatened to make ton were stopped. But the prices of which the President and his cabinet com plained are just the same as the entire American people are compelled to pay; and as they require many thousand times more than the government, the imposition on them is greater Why should they not have relief too? Why should the govern ment not make the same threat in their behalf and put them in position to make
 
 This would simply mean reduction of reasonable figures of the tariff taxes by means of which this wrong is practlced. For ten years now, these have been ex- acted without change, while prices have gone and are still going steadily higher This reduction can and should be made with fairness to all, so that those engaged in legitimate industries may enjoy legit- innate profits, while the rest of the people are given a cahnce to save something out of their earnings.
 We should soon find that it is better all around to have natural and whole some, instead of slop-fed industries, even of they do not grow quite so fast or so big. Our prosperity, thus left free, would find the natural channels which lead to fairer distribution throughout the land.
 "I do not believe the republican leaders will ever make a satisfactory revision of the tariff, If they make any at all. They say the tariff must be revised only by its freinds, and they are it's friends. We say it must be revised by the friends of the people, and so far as the tariff is con- cerned, we, and not those, are the friends of the people. because nothing Is sacred to us which stands in the way of the entire people. The modest competence made possible to every one by unburdened industry and thrift is the democratic standard, not the quick and swollen fur tune acquired through special advantages by government tablished and main- tained by all the people for their common benefit"

Our Duty to the Convict.

From June EYerybodys
 It does not need any argument to con- vince fair-thinking men that the state has no right to impair, much less to shat ter, the health of those whom 1t im- prisons for their improvement or to safe guard it's own welfare. Therefore, 1t goes without saying that all of our penal institutions should be thrown open to sunlight and pure, fresh air, and that they should be protected against all dis ease breeding germs. The work done be- hind their doors sNould not be such, in quality nor quantity, nor performed un- der such conditions and rules as to be injurious to the mody. mind and soul of the inmates Relief from the drudgery may be found in the out -of-door employ ment offered by penitentlary farm
 The newer and more enlightened public opinion is everywhere condemnlng the letting out of convict labor by contract But. regardless of the question whether or not our prisons are made self-sustain- ing, we may go still farther without going too far, and say that the goods produced by a convict should be so dis posed of that they may be given him In the shape of coin of the realm after his release or may help to sustain the mem- bers of his family during his imprison- ment As things are now, the state not only often seyerly punishes the innocent by depriving them of the support of the breadwinner, but also. by exposing them to the temptations incident to poverty, runs the risk of making criminals faster than it corrects them.

BIames Municipal Officials.

Tokio, May 29.-The Asahi this morning, in it's leader, emphasizes, in carefully guarded words it's opinion of the absence of sincere desire on the part of San Fran cisco municipal officials to protect the treaty rights of Japanese residents, and insists on approaching the Washington government with a demand that decided measures be taken to exterminate the sources of persecution against Japanese citizens.
 The Asahi also refers with appreciation to the warm reception of General Kuroki in America and regrets that the recur- renee of the San Francisco incident has blurred the cordial relations of both na- tions.
 For the sake of humanity and civili- zation and the perpetuation of friendly re- latlons," the Asahi recommends the com pleta removal of source of annoyance.

 Wilson replied that 1t did not and was then told to add an agents commission and he did 80, raising the price to 66 cents per square foot. A verbal contract, according to Wilson, was entered Into and the matter was considered closed by Wilson, but subsequently, Sanderson refused to give out work unless the price was lowered to 45 cents again, Including cement base, quartered oak and ma hogany.
