Walking typhoid immunes are to
be made Of the militia of Dover who
will be visited in a few days by the
two surgeons of the First Infantry
Major Marshall and Major Samuel,
who will innoculate each enlisted
soldier in Dover with the typhoid
prophylaxis. This is not compul-
sory in the militia as it is now in
the army. but it is said all the mem
bers of one company, Dover's Com
pany G, officers and men, will vol
unteer. A fresh supply Of the dead
cultures of the typhoid bacillus will
be secured from the War Depart
ment at Washington, as this pre-
ventive is the discovery of the U. S.
army surgeons. Some idea OF its
extended effectiveness may be
cleaned from the fact that there was
but one case Of typhoid and no
deaths thereirom in the recent man
euver camp in Texas, where 12,8Ol
officers and men assembled and
lived, remaining four months. Dur
ing the four months of the summer
camp Of the Seventh Army Corps in
1895 at jacksonville, Fla, where
there lived 10,759 men, there were
1,729 cases and 248 deaths from
typhoid.

Artillery Equipment Coming

Artillery Equipment Coming
Batteries d and First Field Artil-
lery, arrived from the coast ON Thurs
day, travelling on the U. S. a. T. Sher-
man.
That is to say the men of the two
batteries have arrived, but in Field
Artillery the guns, gun carriages, am
munition boxes and horses form the
second half of the working compile
ment of battery and battalion.
The file, composing the Second bat.
TALON of this artillery regiment, have
taken station at the Leilehua reser.
walton. The two new batteries num-
bering two hundred and twenty-slX
men have gone into the new barracks
buildings prepared for them at the
large brigade post.
But the efficiency of the batteries
will be delayed until the equipment
necessary for their usefulness can be
brought over from California. 1t is
unfortunate that horses, guns and men
could not have come together, for
practically in Field Artillery the three
horses, guns and men-are classed
as a whole and without guns and
horses the men can do but little.
The passenger transports can not
accommodate horses and only a limit
ed number of guns, but the u. S. A. 4,
Dix is a fine ship for animal trans
portation. The Dix however, is out
of commission and will not be ready
for use until August. So the military
equipment of batteries d and E, con-
sisting of their horses and guns, will
have to be brought over by liners.
The NJ. n. S. S. Lurline which reach
ed San Francisco from this port on
the eleventh of July will bring one Of
the batteries equipments over on the
next trip of that ship. DR.. Lester b.
Willyoung, veterinarian for the Second
battalion, First Field Artillery, will
have the horses in charge for one de.
tachment, in the journey over from
the coast.
The second batteries horses and
guns will be brought over on the NJ.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The fam
our Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims, through which it has been al
legged that the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate had planned to extend their
vast interests in Alaska, and to con-
troll one of the most valuable coal
fields in the world, were today for
mally disallowed by the department
of the interior.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher
having approved the departments de-
cision as handed down by Fred Dem
nett, commissioner of the land office,
the last door is believed to have been
closed to the Cunningham claimants
Their attorneys have threatened an
appeal to the United States supreme
court, but such appeal can be based
only on some point of law involved,
and not on the findings of fact, as
announced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye for more than two
years. They brought about the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation by Con-
gress and the dismissal from the pub
lie service of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot, Louis R. CLAWS, a chief of
field division in the land office, and
several other minor officials. Both
Messrs. Pinchot and CLAWS were dis
missed for INSTRUMENTATION incident to
their attacks on former Secretary Bal
linger, whom they claimed was favor
ably disposed towards the claims.
New Laws Are Needed.
In announcing decision of the de-
partment today, Secretary Fisher,
who succeeded Mr.. Ballinger, declar-
ed that new coal land laws are need
ed in Alaska if that territory is to be
developed properly. In statement
the secretary says:
This is final decision of the Gun

Any further proceedings will be mere.

APPEAL BY LORD WEAROALE
FOR THE RACES PEACE CONGRESS

The following is the text of an ap-
peals, by Lord Weardale, for support
of the first Universal Races Peace
Congress, which is to be held in Lon
don next week:
"The East Is now ranging itself with
the West. For the first time in human
history, therefore, there is a clear
prospect of one common ideal animal
ing all peoples, and thus the beautiful
old hope of the brotherhood of ma
lions and races is at last moving ap-
preciably towards realization. What
better means of celebrating the birth
of the new era, of brushing aside pref
udices and suspicious, of correcting
misunderstanding than by men and
women from East and West, North
and South, meeting as friends and
equals in a great Congress?
eve therefore earnestly appeal to
all, in all countries,-most especially
to sympathizers in this Far and Near
East and in America, Africa and Aus
tralia, to make the utmost effort to
attend personally and convert this
Congress into an imposing and world
moving demonstration in favor of
inter-racial good will.
This Congress of Races is truly
what it purports to bean assemblage
of members of all races of the world.
Accordingly there will be papers pre-
scented on China, Japan, Turkey, Per
STA, India, Egypt, Haiti, the American
Negro and Indian and the Negro OF
West and South Africa. In every one
of these cases the paper is written

less, their provisions must be en-
forced, first, because they are the
laws, and second, because they afford
the only protection to the public well
fare against the abuses of monopoly
and unrestricted private exploitation.
] sincerely trust that these laws will
be modified at the next session of
Congress so as to permit the develop
ment of the Alaskan coal fields under
provisions that will more adequately
protect and promote the public inter-
est. If, however, there are claims now
pending which, under the existing
law are entitled to patent, see no
justification for not taking action
upon them as promptly as the depart
ment can be assured that it is in pos
session of the facts upon which such
connection can ultimately be taken"
Entries Improperly Allowed.
Commissioner bennett in his deci-
sion holding the claims for cancella-
ton on the ground of fraud, declares
that each of the thirty-three entries
was improperly allowed because of
fatal defects apparent on their face.
He asserts that the government
conclusively established the charges
brought against the claimants and
that there is no doubt that an agree
ment exists among them in violation
of law
The thirty-three claims involved an
aggregate area of $3.50 acres. The
value of the land has been estimated
high in the millions. The coal en-
braced in the claims is said to be
among the finest in the world.
Commissioner bennett makes fire.
quent reference to the work of CLAWS
in prosecuting the Cunningham claim
ants. He also refers at length to the
negotiations between Cunningham and
representatives of the Guggenheims,
who were shown at the Ballinger-Pin-
chot hearing to have taken an option
on these coal lands, which were to
be worked in connection with the
other extensive Guggenheim interests
in Alaska.
The government charged against
Cunningham and his associates that
their entries of the coal land were
made in pursuance of an understand
ing and agreement entered into by all
the claimants prior to location, to
combine the several claims for the
joint use and benefit of all. 1t was
further claimed that the entry was
made with the unlawful agreement
that they should inure to the use and
benefit of the association or corpora
ton.

ing medium for the measurement Ct
values and the percentage of products
that shall enable business to proceed
in a normal way"
In his speech to the veterans the
President said in part:
q am far from saying that war has
not in times past accomplished much
in the progress Of the world Wheth-
er the same progress might have been
achieved in a more peaceful way, it
is unnecessary to discuss. Probably
not.
ut was by war that this country
gained it's independence of Great
Britain. If England had been better
advised probably her war would not
have ensued and we might now be,
as is the case of Canada, cherishing
attachment to the mother country
without exercising complete indie
pendence. Certain it is that the les
son we taught England she took to
heart, and in her colonial policy she
continues to tighten the bonds which
she had laid upon her colonies, until
now they have no weight, and are
merely nerves of affection from her
mother to her children. -'
Arbitration Better.
"The war of 1912 might certainly
have been avoided by arbitration.
The questions there presented were
questions all of which have been set
tied by the judgment of mankind in
favor Of our side of the controversy.
The war with Mexico-though
there is some dispute over this-was
one of the questions capable of solu-
ton by an impartial tribunal.
Whether the Civil War could have
been avoided is d very difficult uues-
ton to answer, When slavery has
become embedded in the social fiber
of a country it is possible that only
an excision by a war knife can re-
move the cancer.
Nor shall / attempt TO answer q
similar question as to the Spanish
war Yet believe the submission Of
the issues to a tribunal might have
affected SPANS treatment of Cuba IN
such a way that we could have
avoided a resort to arms.
THE irresponsibility OF men claim
ing to be patriots and desiring to
oyerturn existing governments where
law and order are not well estab-
lished has led to a great deal Of
guerilla warfare and to the suffering
of innocent people who find no real

breakfast and did not get through
until six o'clock.
He ended with two addresses at the
national home for disabled volunteer
soldiers here. To the bankers and
editors of the Eleventh Congressional
district. he talked about the Aldrich
plan of currency reform. At Indian
apolis tomorrow he expects to talk
of the third most important meas
ure' of the istration-reciproc

about the heat and others he argued

Wars Unnecessary.
In the speech to the old soldiers,
the President declared that all of the
foreign wars waged by this country,
except the War of the Revolution,
and possibly even the Civil War,
could have been settled without
bloodshed. No less than five times,
said the President, has the United
States interviewed between South and
Central American countries, and by
peaceful persuasion averted war.

blind optimist," said the President
