SIX Democratic western seators car

phases Of the tariff bill was discussed
the sugar and wool schedules were
principally under consideration.
Three hours were given by the presi-

senators explaining his views.
After the conference President viii
son issued the following statement:
1t was not a conference to arrive
at conclusion but merely for the
purpose OF efTecting a frank inter

Of Great Magnitude of the

BY a Conference of Railroad
Managers Held in Chi

NEW YORK, May The confer

for higher wages. IN a reply to the
railway conductors and the Brother
hood OF Railway Conductors the
committee says the present rate OF

ST LOUIS, Nay ANDREW Car
-negie told the National Peace Con-
gress assembled here today Why be
believed the nations soon would
reach the goal of peace, and by what
road they would travel. He de-
sertbed the cost Of war and wariise
preparation, and explained his conf
deuce that the United States never
need fear foreign invasion. President
Wilson and his administration he
predicted would gain imomrtaI glory
by dealing successfully with the
question OF world peace.
The goal, said Mr. Carnegie, IS
almost attained. If a man wished 70

one freest from all danger of violent
death, let him enter our army AMI

cation. whose duty is never to attack
but always to protect-not one but
runs far greater risk OF sudden in
jury or death than the soldier or ma
rine of our country does today"
Foreign Invasion.
The speaker pictured a possible
foreign invasion as follows: By
ISL authorities consider it might be
possible for an enemy TO land as
many as one hundred and seventy
thousand men upon their island n
three weeks, and they believe they
have provided a force sufficient to
deal with this number. We could
cope with seven times this number

REVIVAL OF COMIC OPERA.
Excellent Company Here Soon-Will
Be Treat for Local Theater Goers.

With the opening of the present sea-
son, our attention is especially called to
the fact that we are music loving peo-
pie. At the present time all America is
showing new and great appreciation
of the older comic operas, and there is
an extensive rival Of this sort of thea
trical amusement. When we note that
such reputable world stars as Eugene
Cowles, Arthur Cunningham and De
Wolfe Hopper have taken up their for
mer comic opera roles it seems unques-
tionable that there is great demand of
the people for musical attractions.
Nothing could be more desired than
the return of these delightful master
pieces these "reminiscences Of the days
of romance and poetry. The absence
has reminded us all of the joys of the
past and the knowledge that we shall
see and hear them should afford every
one much pleasant anticipation.
The typical American desire for
novelty and change led the public to
demand other than comic opera and
now, satisfied that the change was not
for the best, the patrons of the theatre
are clamoring for revival of that
which entertained best. Consequently,
many of the best known operas have
been produced this season and are
meeting with royal reception.
The Beggar Prince is one of the few
comic operas which did not suffer a
lack of appreciation during the time
that practically all Of the others were
laid on the shelf. It possesses great
wealth Of melody, is very clean, bright
and catchy and runs with vim that at
once attracts and holds the audience.
The management of the I. o. O. F.
opera house is especially fortunate in
being able to secure so high class an at
traction for Monday, January 10.
The casts Of the presenting company
is made up of people well known in the
east and west, was chosen on account
Of each person 8 fitness for his or her
part. A most pleasant evenings enter
