WASHINGTON. May 5.-When the CentrA
American Peace Conference decided TO es-
tablfsh Court of Justice, founded 10 pass
on international question arising among
the five republics. it decided that the most
desirable place for such court would Dc
at Carriage. There was no suitable building
IN the town for the court. and Andrew Car
negie showed his interest in the cause OF
general peace by asking permission to
give a sum of money sufficient for the pur-
nose Of erecting a building which should
be used exclusively as peace court His
offer was Immediately accepted. The build
ing cost about $4,000.
The Palace of Justice. as the building Is
called is a short two minutes walk from
the railroad station in Carriage. The area
Of the Enclosure in which the palace stands
Is 6 100 square metres. forming a park OF
about three hundred feet on each side The
space is surrounded by a well made. solid
granite pavement, and its boundary is orna-
rnented by an iron fence which harmonizeS
with the ironwork on and within the build
ing The dimensions Of the palace are 81
metres on the front and back and 81 metres

are seven rooms of diff erent sizes and for

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
NapoIeon's Famous Berlin Decree November q.

On November q. 1906. Napoleon issued
his famous Berlin decree. which had a.
its object the shutting out of England
from all connections with the continent
OF Europe. This decree declared England
in a state Of blockade and prohibited all
commerce or correspondence with her.
II was one of the most radical measures
ever taken by the Frepeh general. 1t
went even still further than a blockade,
by declaring that every Englishman
found in a country occupied by French
troops or by their allies was declared a
prisoner OF war; all merchandise belong
ing TO an Englishman was made lawful
prize, and al trade in English goods was
entirely prohibited.
No ship coming directly from England,
or from a British colony. was allowed to
enter any port. and any ship seeking, by
false declarations, 20 evade this regula-
ton was con1scated with its cargo as If
British property.
Napoleon's commercial policy came to
be known as the continental system. and
il resulted in the springing up upon the
continent Of many branches OF manu-
facture 10 the loss OF England. But on
the other hand. the price of foreign goods
rose to an extraordinary height, en-
aiding q few merchants TO make for
tunes. but seriously affecting the daily
comfort OF the middle classes. On the
whole, the continental system, both po-
liucauy and economically. was a mis-
take Russia abandoned it in 1910. and
with the breaking up Of Napoleons power
the system collapsed entirely. On the
English side the enforcement OF the
orders in council. which the English Is
sued in retaliation, gave offense to the
United States, and was one of the princi-
pal causes Of the war of 1872. In fact,
the Berlin decree was the start of mis-
chief on all sides.
In his BeTlp decree Napoleon charged
England with having set at naught the
dictates Of international law, with having
made prisoners of war Of private indi-
viduals, and with having taken the crews
out Of Verchant ships. Charges and
countercharges followed fast upon the
Berlin decree and the orders in council
and went so far on the part OF Napoleon.
as TO order the seizure and burning of
all British goods found in France. Ger
many, Holland, Italy. Spain. and in every
place occupied by French troops. In
every direction bonfires were made of
British goods. And so exacting were the

NO DISPATCHES RECEIVED
AT STATE DEPARTMENT

Disturbances in Mexico which began as
an anti-American demonstration have be-
come revolutionary in character. in the
opinion OF officers OF the State Depart
ment. No dispatches on the subject were
received at the State Department yester-
day from Henry Lane Wilson, American
Ambassador at Mexico City This fact Is
accepted here as an indication that the
international phase OF the trouble Is
ended.
Senior de Ia Barra. the Mexican Am
bassadOr. has received a dispatch from
the Mexican foreign Office saying the
riots IN Puebla have been quelled.
Officers Of the State Department do not
regard the present revolutionary move
ments as of great Importance. The belief
prevails here that the government troops
have the situation under control, and
that the present administration is not in
jeopardy.

FACTORY LABORERS JOIN
IN MEXICO UPRISING

City OF Mexico, Nov. 2O.-Telegrams re-
ceived from Orisiba at 8 O'Clock say that
laborers in the factories at Rio Blanco
and Nogales have risen IN rebellion. The
Fifteenth Battalion. In command OF a ma
jor, has been dispatched to orisiba TO
put down the rising. The shooting al
ready at Rio Blanco and Nogales can be
heard at Orisiba.
There was a panic at San Luis Potosi
caused by the explosion of petard, the
work of some practical joker. No dam
age was done.
Everything is quiet in the capital.
Strong patrols are everywhere about the
city The minister of war reports that
quiet prevailed everywhere up TO O'Clock

armed Mexicans were supposed TO be ad-
vancing on Marathon, and are now be-
lieved TO have been rebels.
The border for a distance of several
miles is unprotected and the withdrawal
'of the Mexican customs men from Pilares
leaves that place without any Mexican
officials except the municipal officers,
That entire region south of I'll Paso, for
distance of over 800 miles, is now viz
tually without protection.
Rebels Get Munitions.
To-day a telegram from Narration says
that arms were shipped from there across
into Mexico to-day and that the three
men in charge of the shipment openly
stated that they were revolutionists. A
telegram was received in El Paso to-day
from Marafa from a big mercantile COM
pany asking for guns and ammunition.
stating that the Mexicans wanted them,
and that the Marafa firm had sold out
their stocks. kilograms from Corpus
Christi and Del Rio, Tex, also state that
there has been a big demand for arms in
those localities.
Nowhere IN Mexico was there a bull
fight allowed to-day except In such cases
as where business men OF the town
pledged themselves 10 go 10 the bull ring
and see that there was no disturbance.
This was the exaction in JaureZ, and
while the fight was in progress every
merchant in that Mexican city was in
the ring and armed for trouble. There
was none, however.
Where the soldiers were allowed to
take their customary Sunday diversion
at the bullhght they went armed and
in a body to-day, whereas the usual Gus
tom is to go without arms. Armed sol
diers were marched about through the
towns throughout Mexico during the day.
