Julius Caesar.

Caesar was assassinated March 15, A B. C., and was at the time of his death f1fty-six years old. It is not alone as a military genius that his fame endures. By almost common consent he was~ the most remarkable all round man of antiquity-masterful- ly great not only as general, but as writer, statesman and administrator. In addition to these high accomplish ments he was a great mathematician, philologist, architect and jurist. His conversational powers were extraor- dinary, and from all accounts he was in his manner one of the most at tractive of men.

GOMpERS FREED OF CONTEMPT

Case Dismissed.

Washington, D. C.-Holding that
the imposition Of jail sentences on
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, president, vice.
president and secretary, respectively,
of the American Federation Of La
Dor, was unwarranted by the nature
of the contempt, and that the Dis
trict Supreme Court should have i'm
posed only fine, the Supreme Court
of the United States freed the labor
leaders and directed that the cases
against them be dismissed.
The decision was that the case was
one purely of civil contempt and only
punishable by fines, and that since
it was established that the Bucks
Stove and Range Company had
patched up its differences with the
American Federation of Labor, the
case should be dismissed outright.

SEES PEACE in SIGHT
DIaz Ready to concede Neary All
Insurgent Demands.

Mexico City.-Falling just little
short of a definite statement that
the terms proposed by the revolution
lists had been acceded to, high gov
eminent officer Monday expressed the
opinion that peace was more nearly
assured than at any time since the
instruction began.
Negotiations were proceeding, he
said, on an entirely new basis. A
proposal, transmitted from the rebel
leaders through Judge Carbajal, was
gone over by the president and the
ministers today. A counter proposi-
ton was submitted last night. On
the nature of the reply, awaited to-
night, appeared to depend the sue
cess of the new peace campaign.
No hint of the contents of the
counter proposition could be obtain
ed from the ministers. Publicity,
they alleged, had much to do with
the failure Of the previous negotia-
lions. The delicate nature of the
subjects under consideration, it was
said, required that every effort be
made to avoid a nisconstruction of
the concessions either side was pre-
vailed on to make.
