NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN.
British Ambassador and American
Secretary Discuss Peace Treaty.


Washington-James Bryce, the Brit
ish ambassador, held conference Sat
urday with Secretary Knox regarding
the proposed arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and and Great
Britain, but negotiations are still in a
tentative stage.
1t is said that no hitch has yet been
encountered and reasonable progress
is being made.
This treaty-the forerunner of it's
kind-will be presented to the world
as model for the lessening of strife
among nations, if it receives the ap-
proval of the United States senate.
There is no reason for haste, it is
pointed out, and because Of the man.
moth task which its Importance in
wolves, the negotiations will proceed
with deliberation. The administration
will endeavor to have it in complete
form for presentation to the senate
before the adjournment of the ap-
preaching session of congress.
So far as negotiations have pro-
ceeded, it has developed that, while
the treaty will provide for the arbitra-
tion of practically all disputes that
may arise between the two countries,
including matters relating to questions
of honor, it will not provide the ma
chinery for the arbitration of each
specific controversy. That will be ar
ranged by special agreements under
the general treaty in each instance.

Embryo Citizen Loses.

Olympia, Wash.-Disgusted because

against the Northern Pacific railroad,
F. Cotterill, who was born in Eng

cancelled and has left Olympia with
more disgust than ever against Amer

country poor man can get justice,
but in Washington, he says, he cannot
get his case to the Supreme court be-

BARS UP ON MEAT TRUST.
Australia and New Zealand Consider
Precautionary Measures.

Victoria, B. Gearing the Amer
lean meat trusts entrance into Aus
tralia, the authorities are considering
regulations to cope with the invasion,
according to advices brought by the
Makura. The Australian prime min
lister said that, although no action had
yet been taken, such powers as the
commonwealth possessed would be
used to prevent the meat trust from
securing control of Australia's supply.
Sir Joseph Ward, premier of New
Zealand, who arrived on the Mukura,
said the New Zealand government was
fully alive to the efforts of the beef
trust and would not have it's system
adopted by any organization in New
Zealand.

ARMY IS PREPARED
ManeuVGPs Show High Proficiency
10 War Department.
Practice in Going to and From Phil
ippnes Has Taught Troops How
to Move Quickly.

Washington, April 3.-Aside from
the diplomatic significance and other
considerations involved, the movement
of troops to Texas is regarded by the
War department officials as having
demonstrated the preparedness of the
army.
Detailed reports of the movement of
camp conditions are coming in daily.
"It is evident" ;" said General Wood,
chief of staff, today, "that the ex-
perience which the American troops
have gained in recent years in the
government movements to and from
the Philippines has taught them how
to move and to move quickly.
According to the reports of Major
General Carter from the headquarters
of the maneuver division at San An
tonic, the whole movement has pro-
duced nothing but satisfaction as a
military situation. The ease with
which the movement has been carried
out and the absence of confusion, it is
said, are attributable distinctly to the
lessons learned during the Spanish
American war. In 1898, all the re-
QUESTIONS came after the arrival of
the troops, and some of them never
reached the troops for which they
were intended.
On the movement toward the Mexi-
can border the troops took their own
supplies with them. All the officers
had their equipment ready as though
in time of war. Under the new reg
ulations, the baggage which they car
ried is limited, whereas in 1898 it lit
tered the fields and camps. The en-
listed men carried their shelter tents,
blankets, towels, combs and brushs,
tooth brushes and soap and everything
was ready for their comfort within a
short time after detraining.
Before the maneuver orders were is
sued, it was optional with the enlisted
men whether they would submit to in
oculation against typhoid. About 25
per cent of them submitted of their
own will. But troops participating in
the Texas event have been inoculated
against the disease which demanded SO
man victims in the fever camps of the
Spanish war period. All the Texas
troops have also been vaccinated
against smallpox.
The men have been trained to reject
water of suspicious character and
facilities for boiling are being ar
ranged. Extensive experimentation
has developed new forms of sanitary
sinks and new methods of incineration.
Patented devices prevent the carrying
Of infection by flies and the mess
rooms and kitchens are carefully

tions are reported excellent.

SUGGESTS IMPROVEMENT
in CAPITAL LIGHTS
Secretary of State Brodigan Asks
For Board Assistance

Secretary OF State Brodigan, who i!
a member of the Board OF Capito
commissioners, is urging upon the
other members the adoption OF {
scheme to better light the grounds
about the building He has proposed
that the arc light in front OF the Cap
itol be taken down, that all wires
leading to the building be placed un-
der ground and instead OF the one
light which is buried in the trees that
q score OF incandescents be distrib-
utcd about the grounds.
Mr.. Brodigan is taking up the right
course, At present the State Capitol
and the grounds are about the poor
est lighted places in the State. There
is hardly a court house in any county
but puts il to shame as far as illu-
mnation is concerned The court
house at Goldfield is always a blaze

court house is very attractive during
the night hours and is amply illumin-
ated, Not so with the State Capitol.
II has two lights about the entire
block, and when the trees are in TO
liage they are simply buried.
BY taking the two arc lights and
