To FORCE PEACE
IN THE PACIFIC
Sir Joseph Ward, Premier of
New Zealand, Makes Strong
Statements.

The Right Hon. Sir Joseph George
Ward, P. G., K. G. NJ g., Premier
of the Dominion of New Zealand, was
passenger on the Makura, which ar
rived here from British Columbia yes
terday morning. He is on his way to
Suva, where he viii board the British
cruiser Challenger, which will convey
him to Auckland.
While here, Sir Joseph stated that
Great Britain viii soon have a naval
force in the Pacific Ocean double the
size of that of any other nation, with
the exception of the United States.
He is very enthusiastic over the pros
pect for large British Naval force
in the Pacific, stating that both New
Zealand and Australia will put forth
great effort with that end in view.
The whole trend of Sir Joseph
Ward s remarks was to the effect that,
with England and the United States
holding almost absolute supremacy
over the Pacific, these two nations can
practically force peace in this OCEAN.
This matter, he said, was given grave
consideration at the Imperial Naval
Conference. which he attended short
time ago in London.

DIED ON AN OPERATING TABLE.
Young Miner Attempts to Recover His
Sight and Death Results.

Pittsburg Kan. April 13.-Paul
Gaffaux. of Yale, young miner, IS
years old, died at the office of DIR. A.
c. Graves, in the Commerce building
in this city, of heart failure.
About one month ago the patient
was in an explosion in a coal mine
which blew out both of his eyes, from
the effects of which the lids grew to
the stump of the eye. The young
man was told that it would do no good
to separate the lids from the stump,
as there, would be no vision, but this
did not satisfy him.
On the administration of the chlor-
oform preparatory to the operation 1t
was noticed before the work was COM
menced that the patient was BREATH
ing badly when the chloroform was
discontinued and steps were taken to
esuscitate him. This work was con-
tinued for three hours. At times there
seemed to be hope, but in spite of ev-
cry effort that could be made, the
young man died.
