LOSSES OF LIFE IN WARS. :
.@ @%::5::s: $::3s#: q #::9:@,

The Civil War cost 100000 lives.
Of this number 9S,0S9 were slain in
battle. The vast army which sue
cumbed to disease was no less than
1S4,331; while the remaining 10000
or so died of wounds received. At
the battle Of Waterloo 81 900 men
were killed or disabled. There were
$4,000 soldiers in the great stpug-
Sl&Iand it Is estimated that one man
was9 either killed or disabled for
every four hundred shots fired, count
ing both the artillery and rihe-shots.
In the CrimeaG war 95,615 lives were
sacrificed; and at Borodino, when
the French and Russians fought, 49,
600 men were left dead on the bat
tle-tield. There were 100000 troops
in combat in that engagement. OF
the 95,615 men who perished in the
Crimea, $4,000 were Turks and
Russians.
lce the birth of Christ 4,O0O,-
0UU,000 men have been slain in bat
tie. At Canea, where the Romans
suffered the worst defeat in their his
tory, it is said that $4,000 of their
soldiers were slain. The Roman
army in this battle consisted Of
$4,000 men, the picked brawn and
sinew of the empire. In the Franco
Prussian war 77,000 Frenchmen
were killed. The Germans fired
30,000,000 rine-shots and 100000
artillery discharges. In none of the
battles mentioned was dynamite
used. Only recently has the use of
dynamite in land warfare been con-
sldered safe for the army using it.
Men who have studied the mortal
ity statistics Of the past shudder at
the thought of what may be in store
in the wars that are to come. Civ
ilized nations shrink from the dyna-
mite idea in warfare. The fearful
explosive has been used in Cuba,
but only by the insurgents.

BACON REFUSES REQUEST.
y"State Has Powers of Protection"
Wires Georgia Senator.

Washington, May 21.--Anent the
strike of the white firemen of the
! Georgia Railroad, Senator Bacon re-
ceiyed telegram to-day from Gene
raj Manager L. K. Scott, of the Geor-
gia railroad, asking him to call on
the chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission and direct his at
tention to the fact that there have
been several cases of interruption of
the movement of through freight
trains carrying Interstate freight,
and ascertain what relief could be
expected from the commission or
through the operation Of the legal
department SO far as it may be di-
rected by the commission.
In another telegram from General
Manager Scott to Senator Bacon, he
stated there have been Interruptions
of the mail service and he requested
the Senator to call at the post office
department and ask that the fullest
authority Of the legal department be
eXerted in the matter
Senator Bacon replied by wire to
General Manager Scott that the
power to protect persons and prop
erty and to preserve order in the
State belongs to the State govern
ment. He further said that in his
judgment the United States govern
ment does not have this duty devolv-
ed upon 1t, unless called on, either
by the State Legislature or by the
Governor, to protect the State against
domestic violence, as prescribed in
the constitution of the United States.
For this reason Senator Bacon did
not deem it proper to ask the inter-
Vention of the United States govern
ment, declined to make the request,
and so notified General Manager
Scott.
In his telegram to General Mana
ger Scott, Senator Bacon expressed
the hope that the trouble may be
permanently removed by relieving
the white firemen from negro compe-
tition.

10000 Murdered at Adana.

Adana, May .15.-The estimates Of
from 10000 to $4,000 Christians
killed by Muhammadans in the PROV
ince of Adana made a fortnight ago
must be revised. 1t is now ascer-
tanned that the number can hardly
reach more than 10000, possibly
less. Thousands who were supposed
to have been killed in the country
district have since come into some
one Of the large towns for relief
Although the later figures are
lower than the first estimates, there
still remains the dreadful fact that
frightful brutality was practiced, es-
pecially towards the women.

aNsEL WANTS PEACE.
He Makes Address at Lake MohonlS
Conference.

Mohonk Lake, N ", May 21.---
Governor NJ. f. Ansel, of South Car
. olina, to-day addressed the Lake Mo-
monk Conference on International
Arbitration. He said in part:
'"The subject of international ar
bitration is one that has appealed 10
me for mahy years past, and Il wish
to express hope that the day is not
far distant when differences among
the nations Of the world shall be set
tied not by the sword, but by some
court of arbitration established and
bintained by all powers. Much
Progress has already been made along
the lines indicated by the two meet
ings Of The Hague Conference al
ready held, and the one that Is to
be held about the year 1915, and /
for one believe that much of the
good work already done along these
lines can be attributed to the work
of the former meetings of this con-
ference and the influence flowing
from them.
Peace on earth and good will to
men is lesson that was taught by
the writers Of old, and is the prin-
ciple on which the nations of the
world should stand in the settlement
of the many questions that arise.
at has been pleasure to me to
see the progress made, in the past
few years, along the line of interna-
tional arbitration, and the many
expressions made by the noted think
ers and speakers of this and other
countries in advocacy of the same.
The principle of the golden rule is
one that nations as we'll as people
should work out and practice in all
Matters which pertain to themselves
and others. Right and not might
should prevail, and the brotherhood
of man should be recognized and
practiced.
MANY, if not all, of the questions
Of difference and the causes thereof
between nations can be amicably
and satisfactorily settled by the rec
ognition by each of the rights of
the other, and VIXEN an amicable
settlement cannot be brought about
by conference between representa-
tives Of each, then resort should be
had to court of arbitration, whose
action should be final and binding.
"The establishment OF this court,
Of course, can only be brought about
by agreement among all the powers
of the world, but / for one believe
that if all the powers will not agree
to the establishment of such a court,
that an agreement should be entered
into between as many as will agree,
and others, seeing good accomplish
ed, will ultimately come in and join
hands with them in working for the
good of ALL
