According to the Telegraph il is uu-

as it will contain no clause excluding
matters of vital interest and affecting
the independence or honor of the con-
tracting states from arbitration

clude special agreement clearly de-
fining the matter in dispute. the scope
Of the arbitrators' power and the period

SAVING THE BIRDS.

The Audubon societies of the coun-
try have Just been holding their anDu-
al meeting In New York AS a result
Of campaign extending over the last
decade. they report that bird-life is
each year becoming safer and public
cooperation more effective. The as
sociation is responsible for the New
York plumage law which prohibits the
sale Of the feathers of many native
birds. as well as those of related spe-
eies abroad, and which has proved an
important check on dealers engaged
In the feather traffic. The association
has also been active in guarding the
many colonies OF aigrette-bearing
birds along the east and south Allan
tic coast During the past year the
associated societies have spent. in the
course OF their beneacent ISork. some
$50. O00-money well laid out. as 1t
gives a countercheck to the thought
lessness OF fashion, the greed Of bust
ness and the cruelty Of both.

Gibraltar. King Georges sis

husband. the Duke of Fife. and their
daughters together with a number of
Americans and other persons had a
narrow escape from death when the
liner Delhi, on its way to Egypt. went
on the rocks near Capt Spartel, Mo-
rocco.
While being taken ashore by the
longboat of the British armored
cruiser Duke of Edinburgh the royal
party was thrown into the water by
the capsizing OF the boat, one of the
daughters having a narrow escape
from drowning. She was rescued by
sailor and carried TO land with the
others, all suffering severely from the
bitter cold.
Six sailors of the French cruiser
Friant were drowned when a small
boat which had been sent TO the aid of
the English vessel was swamped by
gigantic wave. The others reached
the shore in a desperate condition and
several still are suffering.
1t was still dark when the Delhi,
having lost her bearings In the dense
fog, was blown by terrific gale on
the rocky shores OF Cape Spartel The
passengers all we're In their cabins

ing tney had of any danger was when
the big liner began pounding There
was a panic on board, but the officers
of the ship were prompt in their &C
ton and soon succeeded in calming
the fears of the passengers.
1t is believed that the Delhi will be
a complete loss, as she lies in an ex-
posed position and the storm, which is
one of the worst experienced in years,
has whipped up sea that will soon
batter the boat to pieces

CHARGED WITH KILLING SON
Polish laborer at Neenah Is Under
Arrest, Accused of Beating His
Baby Boy to Death.

Polish laborer. is under arrest here.
charged with the brutal murder of
his little son, three and half years
old. 1t is alleged that the father
kicked the child to death. The boy
died while the mother was away
from home. The father reported
that the child had been climbing uD-
on woodpile and had fallen, sus-
tanning injuries from which he died
Immediately.
Neighbors became suspicious. the
district attorney was called from
Oshkosh, an investigation made, and
it was determined that it would have
been impossible for the child to have
sustained the injuries received had
he fallen from the woodpile, as
c lined by the father. A post NOR
TEN examination disclosed that the
child's skull was fractured and his
body badly bruised in many places,
as though terrible blows had been in
fiieted upon him. So powerful were
the blows that the child's intestines
Wee found to have been ruptured.
District Attorney Daniel Mcdonald
ordered the fathers arrest on a muir
der charge. Neighbors say that So
kolosski had taken an almost insane
dislike toward the child and had sew
eral times in their hearing threat
ened to kill him.
