The propositions emanating from
the United States, looking to the crea-
ton of an international peace court
and to the naturalization of the rail-
roads in Manchuria as a step to har-
mony of all interests in that quarter,
have made a profound impression and
are regarded as measures of world
politics of the highest significance and
pointing to most benefcent results.
That is the best and noblest of diplo-
macy, and again illustrates the lead
which the United States is taking in
seeking to promote good understand
ing and to safeguard peace among the
nations. Aspirations to such world
power" as this, which means the well
fare of all mankind, must be ap-
proved by even the most stubborn

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

II the English sparrow were not such
a hardy little rascal, so well able to
take care of himself and thrive and
multiply, how our pity would go out
toward him! Especially might we now
allow our generous feelings to flow,
when the department of agriculture
has just issued a farmers bulletin in
which it has nothing really good to
say about this dweller everywhere and
offers various means for getting rid
of him. But the English sparrow needs
no pity, says Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. He will live by grace
or without it, and we may expect
that, Notwithstanding the bulletins, we
shall continue always to have him
with us, hardy, prolific, bold, cunning,
self-reliant and unwashed. The bull
letin-and it is sadly in accord with
popular xperience-represen this
active neighbor of human kind as a
dyed-in-the-WooI criminal among birds.
He attacks, it seems, almost every
sort Of vegetation useful for food,
preys on his own kind by destroying
their eggs and driving them from gar
dens and parks and has no melodious
pean to offer after his victories. He
should be treated as vermin, and re-
duced in number, even if he cannot be
exterminated To be sure, the bulletin
does not offer one forlorn hope. Mr..
Dearborn of the biological survey says
that he ought to be eaten.

WEALTH IS TO AID HUMANITY
ROCKEFELLER PLANS GREAT COR
PORATION FOR HIS FORTUNE.
Bill Introduced in Congress Provides
for an Organization Which Will
Benefit Mankind.

Washington.-For the benefit of his
fellow men John D. Rockefeller is
seeking a method of disposing of his
vast fortune.
Under the provision of a bill intro
duced in the Senate Wednesday by
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New
Hampshire the oil king seeks a fed
eral incorporation act for his wealth,
with view to distributing it under
proper supervision for the good OF
mankind. The object of the founda-
ton is to provide for general Or
ganization to conduct philanthropic
work along all lines.
According to the bill the Rockefeller
foundation is organized for these pur-
poses: To promote the well-being and
advance the civilization of the people
of the United States and its posses
sions in foreign lands; for the ac-
QUESTION and dissemination of knowl-
edge; for the prevention OF any ana
all of the elements of human knowl-
edge.
The incorporators named in the bill
are: John d. Rockefeller, John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr.; Fred T. Gates, Starr
J. Murphy, Charlese A. Heydt.
These men are authorized to select
associates not to exceed rs, and it
is provided that there SHALL not be at
any time fewer than five.
Headquarters of the foundation are
to be in Washington.
1T is the evident intention of Mr..
Rockefeller to provide means of ex-
pending his wealth to the best advan-
tage of the largest number of people,
said Senator Gallinger.
1t was stated by the senator that
Mr.. Rockefeller already had given
away $52,OO0,0OO.
The proposed foundation is to be
organized along lines similar to the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching.

60 PERISH IN A MINE BLAST
EXPLOSION OF POWDER BLOWS
MINERS TO FRAGMENTS.
Crash Occurs In 1,1oo-Foot Level
Men Caught in Trap-100 Are
Seriously Injured.

Juneau, Alaska.-By the explosion
Of a powder magazine in the Next
can shaft of the Treadwell mines
Thursday, go miners, caught like rats
in trap, at the 1,1O0-foot level, with
no possible chance of escape, were
blown to fragments and 100 others
were seriously injured, many of whom
it is feared may die.
The bodies of the dead were blown
into unrecognizable masses of human
flesh. The scene when a rescuing
party descended to the level, was in
describable. The dead were lying
around, piled one on the top of the
other and the groans and screams OF
the injured were heartrending.
1t is believed that more of the in
jured will succumb to their injuries.
There is deplorable lack of medical
men and in the company hospitals.
which are crowded to the limit, the
mangled miners are suffering for
want of medical attention.
The cause of the accident is not
known at this time. 1t is believed,
however, that the explosion is the re-
suit of miners lamp coming in con-
tact with the powder magazine. Not
man in the portion of the mine
where the explosion occurred escaped
injury.
The scenes about the mouth of the
mine are pitiful. The families of the
miners are gathered about the en-
trance to the shaft and as the bodies
are carried from the death trap, there
is wild rush to get near enough to
make an effort at Identification.
So badly are the bodies torn and
mangled that the only possible means
of Identification in most cases has
been by the clothing or property
found in the pockets.

According to the later details the
one failure at the aviation meet in Los
Angeles was that of a government
dirigible balloon, which it was found
could not hold gas and therefore could
not be used in flying. This hints at a
weak spot in this class of airships and
may strengthen the cause of the aero
planists, who contend that the heavier
than-air machine, properly constructed
and operated, is the real thing. Any
way, it must be admitted that this
class OF air craft won most of the dis
tinction at the California show.
