Taft Plans Stag Dinner.
Washington, Aug. 3.-President Taft s
dinner to Admiral Togo at the White
House Saturday night will be one of
the most notable affairs of the kind
given in Washington for a long time.
It will be a stag dinner, which in it
self is unusual. Vice President SEer-
man, Admiral Geurge Dewey, the JaDa-
nese ambassador, the members Of the
presidents cabinet and more than a
score of other well known men have
been asked.
Following the dinner will come q
reception to which several thousand
Invitations have been sent out. The re
ception will not be a stag and the
famous japanese sea fighter probably
will have an opportunity to see Amer
lean girls darcing in the East room.
The reception is to be held indoors, but
the terraces that extend east and west
from the executive mansion also will be
utilized.

NO PENSION Cash
Payment May Be Delayed in Con-
sequence.
Government TeIegraphs the
Money Will Be Here.

Tomorrow is pension day. But
there is not a dollar on hand with
which to pay the 100000 patrons of
the Topeka office.
Unless a letter of credit from the
st. Louis subtreasury is received by
Col A w Smith before Friday morn
ing, the payment of the 100000 pen
sioners in this district will be delayed.
Smith today received a telegram stat
ing that the pension money would be
on hand in ample time to meet the
payment, but the vouchers will be held
up until confirmation of the order is
received from the st. Louis subtreas-
ury.
The trouble occurred when Colonel
Smith was recently confirmed as pen
sion agent. He then made a new bond,
which has just been approved. But
the Topeka Offices checking account
stopped when the recess appointment
was suspended to be succeeded by
Smiths official confirmation. This mix
Up in affairs at Washington now prom

There is no question but that the

condition the Office cannot pay a dol
lar until an official notice of the trans
fer of the cash is received. The con-
firmation may come late this after
noon. It may not. It it does not
come Friday morning, then the veter-
ans, their wives and orphans must pa
tiently wait until the money is ready.
1t will require approximately S4.-
100000 to cover the August payment
from the Topeka Office. On the hasty
action of the officials IL Washington
will depend the prompt payment of
this money.
There is nothing to do but wait, -
said Colonel Smith today. 1.-The trou-
BILE all came about from a delay of
my confirmation. SO fa- as my office
is concerned. everything is in readiness
to send out the quarterly pension
vouchers. But we can dc nothing un-
til the subtreasury acknowledges the
order to pay over the money"

or or vital interests of the signatories
subjects invariably excepted in existing
arbitration treaties.
Jean Jules Jusserand had the honor
of signing the arbitration treaty be-
tween the United states and France six
hours ahead of the signing of the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain. He was the first foreign
diplomat TO come forward with a tenta-
tive acceptance of President Taft's IN
formal proposal to all nations for such
a treaty as has been concluded. although
during the negotiations comparatively
little was heard of the part taken b.
him in forwarding the great move
ment. The British government took
the initiative in negotiating for general
arbitration although France was the
first to recognize the possibility of such
an agreement. Ambassador JusseranG
has been accredited to Washington
since 1902. During the Roosevelt adj
ministration he was member of the
Tennis cabinet.
The general features of the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally JUS
ticiable shall be submitted to The
Hague. unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
| lected.
Differences that either country thinks
are not justiciable shall be referred TO

Before arbitrsti is resorted to, even
in cases where both countries agree that
the difference is susceptible of 4rbitra-

of either government will delay its
findings one year to give an opportun-
