"Hummel had one night in the

Jackson and Hay left Seattle with
but Five Dollars in money, were
obliged to earn their way as they
went and leave no unpaid bills, and
complete the journey in ninety days
An interesting incident in connec-
tion with the walk, was that each of
the contestants wore a pair of the
wellknown Mayer shoes, that neither
ripped nor lost stitch during the en-
tire trip of 2450 miles-the hardest test
any shoes could be put to-speaking

St. Pierre.

government observatories at Assier.

Thirty-seven Treaties Approved.

Washington.-With little discussion
and less publicity. the United States
Senate has at this session placed its
approval of thirty-seven treaties
more In number If not in Importance,
than had been ratified during the twen-
~ years preceding.
Twelve nations have agreed by
treaty with the United States to ar
bitrate future disputes, which is taken
to mean nothing less than the world
has now been established on the plane
of arbitration.
The territory available as asylum
for the fugitive from justice has been
further restricted through extradition
treaties with Spain, Portugal, Uruguay
and San Marino. while naturalization
treaties have been concluded with
Peru, Salvador and Portugal.
The gain for arbitration is regarded
as n distinct victory for American dip
lomacy, initiated by the instructions
to the American delegates to the
Hague conference. The result so far
is the approval of general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain, Japan
France. Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Mex
leo, Portugal, Netherlands, Sweden
and Denmark.
Besides the general arbitration
treaty. eleven of the treaties result
ing from the Hague conference were
