Leopold IL with which his nephew and

them.
Albert began to interest himself in the
question before he attained his majority.
1t may be recalled that his maiden speech

about the necessity-of creating mercan-
tile marine. so that Belgian exports might
be sent abroad in Belgian ships, instead
of British. German. French and Scandi-
| navian bottoms.

Woman'S Death.

kISSIMMEE, Fla. September lS.-
With the completion of the autopsy on
the body of Sister Sadie l.. Merchant
who was treated by Sister Elizabeth
Sears and Brother Sgbert b. Gillette at a
Shaker colony near here. 1t has been
proved beyond question that only chloro-
form was used to produce the painless
death which Sister Sadie asked. 1t also
has been proved that the woman was in
the last stages OF tuberculosis.
Preceded by Prayer.
Another feature of the remar ka bile
case just developed is the fact that
the administering of the drug was not
without ceremony and prayer for divine
guidance. There was no secrecy, and
all the members of the colony were
fully Informed of what was to take
place.

Advance in Arbitration Movement

Speak king on arbitration in Erie tonight
the President said that the advance made
in the treatie negotiated at his instance
with England and France. was note
worthy in agreeing 10 arbitrate all ques-
vital interest or the honor of
either country. These treaties pro-
vide that all justiciable questions
should be arbitrated between the
two countries, and that juSt1clable
was to be understood to mean any ques-
ton of international character arising
between the two countries in which one
country made a claim against the other
and which could he decided hy the appli-
cation of the principles of law or equity
Every one will agree said the Presi-
dent that this is a long step forward
toward the settlement of all questions
arising between the TIVE countries. The
treaty is that there are very few queS-
tons of Importance of an international
character arising between two coun-
tries that i'm one phase or other. in the
opinion of one or the other party. does
not involve either its vital interest or its
national honor. The words are so broad
and capable OF being made so much
broader by construction and argument
that they really leave very little for
arbitration. And when we consider that
there is no tribunal independent of the
parties to decide whether the question
which arises is question of vital inter-
est of national honor to either party
and that must be left therefore, finally
to either party to decide, we find that
what the existing treaties amount to in
of arbitrating these questions which are
not of great Importance to us at any
rate. and We will do 1t. if We wish to
do it, when the time arises

Ii can hardly be said that such a treaty

the proposed treaties make n decided adj

citizens of the other-to decide by a vote
either unanimously. of five to one,
whether the question arising is justiciable
or not. and if they decide that it is jus
