FOR PEACE
CARNEGIE ARGUES FOR INTER-
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Publishes Pamphlet Opposing War
for Free Distribution Through
out the United States.

NEW YORK, March 15.--Andrew
Carnegie. as president Of the Peace
Society of New York. has just had
published for FREE distribution through
the country, a 5O,000-copy edition of a
pamphlet, written by himself, in which
he pleads for world peace.
I'm our age" says Mr.. Carnegie,
there is no more reason for permit
ting war between civilized nations than
for relaxing the rein OF law within ma
tions. which compels men to submit
their personal disputes to peaceful
courts, and never dreams that by SO
doing they will be made less heroic.
"A peace league Of the foremost ma
tions should put an end to the posi-
bility of war among themselves and
compel other nations to submit their
disputes to peaceful tribunals. Since
war decides not which is wrong, but
only which is strong, it Is difficult to
understand how a truly heroic or con-
scientious man can ever favor appeal
to II. unless after proferring peaceful
arbitration, his country Is attacked.
Should ever our country have q
dispute with another the demand
should come from an irresistible num-
Der Of the most enlightened and heroic
Of our people that our government
should in it's right hand carry gentle
peace, and offer it's adversary arbitra-
ton"

floor apartment.
The whole top floor of the building was
burned out. Considerable damage was
done to the lower floors, the total loss
being estimated at $1,000 Mrs. Mary IL.

FOR HAWAIIAN PROHIBITION.
Senate Passes Joint Resolution After
It Is Amended.

joint resolution was passed yesterday by
the Senate.
AS originally reported the bill au-
thorized a popular election in the Ha-
waian Islands for the purpose Of in
structing the insuIar legislature on the
question of prohibition. Senator Hepburn
raised the point that to adopt the meas
ure in that form would be equivalent to
the adoption Of the initiative and referen-
dunn system. which he said would be an
innovation in legislation. The resolution
was therefore withdrawn, and when pre-
scented today the instruction provision
had been stricken out

In discussing the criticisms made by
Representative Macon Of Arkansas. and

ability of any one to make the trip In
the frozen regions as reported by Peary,
Mr.. Englebright says:
IT have no doubt whatever that Mr..
Peary reached the pole. The latitude Of
Cape Columbia is SO degrees and min
utes north, or 413 nautical miles from
the pole. This distance is equal to 47.78
statute miles

eighteen miles a day, which is the proper
figure to compare with the trips Of Nc
Clintock, who averaged fourteen miles

Bartlett left Peary at latitude 81 de-
grees and - minutes north. or PSI nau-
teal miles or 314 statute miles north of

''Peary with supporting party or par
ties made the trip from Cape Columbia
to where Bartlett left him in thirty
days, was detained seven days at an open
lead, or twenty-four days travel. making
an average OF thirteen miles day. This
portion of the journey was all prepara-
tory for the final work, a proper COM
parison with the subsequent travelling
being the difference between the speed

licans Lincoln. In 1884 the Republican
party had one or more bitter internal
