Washington, March 15.-When Con gress assepbles in regular session next December 1t is believed the President may be able to redeem his promise to submit a treaty with Great Britain providing for general and unlimited arbitration of all questions arising be- tween America and Great Britain. At tention having been directed to the subject by. the remarkable speech of Sir Edward Grey In parliament, 1t is learned that negotiations for such a treaty have been proceeding informal ly for a long time, though neither side has yet submitted a final concrete proposition
 With a-practical agreement upon the principle of arbitrating all questions in controversy even those involving na- tional honor expressly excluded by ex- isting conventions of The Hague) only two practical obstacles have been en- countered by the negotiators. Thess are:

ARMY Y'PERFORMS
 DAILY ROUTINE
Soldiers Waiting for Some
 thing To Happen
HEALTH IS VERY GOOD
General Carter's Division About Com plete-He Tells Newspaper Men To Send Their War Cloud
 To Europe

Galveston, Texas, March 1.-The sol- diers encamped at Fort Crockett have settled down to a daily routine waiting for something to happen. They are hav- ing three hours of company and battal- ion drill daily in extended formation and Colonel Bailey is planning to increase the time as the men become hardened to the work.
 Officials at Washington are manifesting great interest in the health of the soldiers and 1t Is a source of great satisfaction to General Mills that he has to report but one case of sickness among the 1900 men now here.
 A full gown soldier from Fort Bar rancas, Fla, broke out with measles yes- terday. greatly to the discomfiture of himself and his tent mates. He is being cared for by the hospital corps of the regiment and the men who have been 'rooming" with him have been isolated from the other soldiers. They will escape daily drill for several days during which time they must remain within the limits of a quarantine tent erected for them on the beach. General Mills appears con- fident that there will be little sickness among the men of his brigade while they remain at Fort Crockett.
 No news has reached here today from the three transports now en route to Galveston from Hampton Roads with 5000 men, although all the wireless stations in this vicinity are sending electric waves scouting for them all day. Army officers familiar with tho speed of the vessels expressed the opin- ion that they would not arrive before Sa aeurday or Sunday. As significant of the length of time Washington officials expect to keep the troops here, Capt. Julius Killian, purchasing commissary, today placed an order for 12,0o0- pounds of hardtack after receiving instruo- tions from the department. As Is well known. hardtack is not of the many delicacies provided for the men while they are in garrison. Like . canned willie" 1t Is intended for use on the march when there Is no more palatable food available.

TWELVE KILLED
 BY FALLING WALLS Thirty Men Buried Under
 Mortar and Bricks
ONE WHITE MAN DEAD
Most of Dead and Injured Are Negro WOrkmen-Fire Department Makes Some Thrilling Res
 cues of Victims

| Nashville, March 15.-By the collapse of the side walls of the Fall Hardware build l ing. which was burned ten days ago. at 10:30 this morning. about t30 men were buried under tons of brick, mortar and timber. Most of those caught under the walls were negro laborers who were clearing away the debris and tearing down the walls, but there were few white men connected with insurance com panies in the building at the time. These latter were looking after the salvage.
 The known dead number F, while the injured so far recovered number r. The work of removing the debris is still in progress
 Ralph McCallum, unmarried, was the only white man known to have been killed. He was crushed to death. Me- Callum was experimenting a salvage corps.
 Edwin Hart, white, who was endeavor- ing to save goods In an adjoining buld- ing in the interest of the insurance com panies, was badly injured but will re- cover.
 The other known dead and injured were negroes.
 The heavy wind of the morning is sup posed to have caused the walls, weakened by the fire, to fall.
 Miraculous Escape
 When the fire department arrived. there were four men in the fourth and fifth-story windows. These men had had miraculous escapes. rushing to the front of the walls when they were seen to sway in the wind.
 These men were taken down by the aerial truck.
 The men in the windows were George M Roddy of Atlanta, who was superin- tending the job of tearing down the walls for the underwriters salvage corps; w. B. Lewis. another man working for the insurance company, Jim Hampton, and Charles Whittier, negroes The negro worlxmen were frightened and one threat ened 10 jump if the ladders were not hoisted soon, but was prevented by MT. Lewis.
 Both men, Roddy and MT. Lewis, all lowed the negro workmen to descend first and all were landed safely fin the street.
 Immediately upon striking the pave ment Mir Lewis began checking off the names of workmen who escaped. Some ten or twelve, who were working on tho second floor of the building In the rear, escaped with only few minor cuts and bruises. These men came to the front and gave their names to MT. Lewis Thousands rushed 10 the scene of the accident as the news spread throughout the city and when the call came for vol unteers, some 70 or 50 men responded, among them being Mayor Howse. whose brother had been cut by piece of fall ing glass

Carter's Division About Complete

San Antonio, March 15.--When tho last battery Of artillery arrives here from Fort D. A. Russell, probably to- morrow General Carter's division will be complete. The Ninth cavalry, colored. from Fort D. A. Russell marched into camp today They were ordered to entrain eight days ago, but for five days weer compelled to wait for cars. A veterinary camp was established and an immense barbed wire corral made for transient horses. The division could pack up and move tonight
 if it's destination was on a railroad line, but about 2000 more animals. mostly mules, would be needed for an actual campaign.
 The dispute over the use of the South ern Pacific switch track was settled to- cay to the satisfaction of Quartermaster General Mccarthy and Depot Quarter master Normoyle. According to Gentry Walso, assistant general freight agent of the Southern Pacific, the delay in accord ing the use of their tracks to the camp to foreign rolling stock was due almost en- trely to the necessity for investigation of state law bearing on the subject.
 General Carter moved his headquarters into spacious tent today. The great field of brown canvas was broken in a few spots by white tents, borrowed tenn porariy to supply shortage occasioned by the establishment of division head quarters
 You may send your war cloud back to the Balkans for the use of the English correspondents, smiled General Carter to newspaper men. Nothing but maneu- vers here, he added.
 Clothing Arrives
 Thirty-one cars of clothing for the recruits and for re-outfitting are ex- pected here from the east as well as additional tentage.
 Parmalee and Foulois, the army avia- tors, made two brief trial flights in a. stiff breeze this afternoon, Parmalee trying for accuracy in landing. de- scended within five inches of his start ing point

Important Decision by Judge Foster in
Bridgeport Case.

Bridgeport, July 6.-"Not guilty was
the decision of Judge Foster in the city
court today in the case against the
University club, through it's officers,
charged with violating the liquor laws
of the state by selling liquor to mem
bers of the club.
The University club was raided on
Sunday, June II, and after several
continuances the case was presented
to Judge Foster on an agreement on
the facts. It was regarded as very i'm
portant as it would have a state wide
influence on the method of proceeding.
if any, against regularly organized and
regularly conducted clubs that main
tain sideboards for members only.
Judge Fosters written decision is
voluminous- He quotes the agreed
facts decisions in similar cases in
several other states, and concludes:
There can be no doubt
that if any men or body of men forms
a club whose principal object is the
dispensing of liquors or the evasion of
the liquor laws, the courts will go
long way in tearing away the disguise
and punish those attempting such
fraud. Where, on the other hand, it is
admitted or clearly proved that the
club in question is a bona -fide club
and that the dispensing of liquors is
but an incident of the clubs activities
such a dispensing of liquors without
license duly issued is not a violation
of the law of Connecticut as it stands
at the present time
