NEWS NOTES.

The award in the Western rail-
road wage arbitration increases the
rate of pay to firemen and engineers
in many instances, but is believed
by the men to fall far short of their
demands. Representatives of the
brotherhoods expressed disappoint-
ment at it, while the railroads in a
general way considered it satisfac-
tory. Following the award, repre-
sentatives of the labor organizations
made public their protest against
Charles Nagel sitting on the board,
because of his interest in railroads.
This had been held up by request.
Foreign trade opportunities and

Congress of Women concluded it's
sessions here to-day after adopting
a proposal to send delegations to the
President of the United States and
to the heads of all the European
powers to demand immediate ces-

Mrs. Rosika Schwimmer, president

threw the gathering into great con-
fusion.

After the motion finally had been
adopted the congress passed this
resolution, brought forward by Mrs.
Schwimmer and Miss Julia Grace
Wales of the University of Wiscon-
sin:
"The International Congress Of
Women resolves Immediately to ask
neutral countries to take steps to
create a conference of neutrals
which, without delay, shall offer
continuous mediation by inviting
suggestions for settlement from
each of the belligerents and by sub
mitting to all of them simultaneous
ly reasonable proposals as basis
for peace"
Mrs. Fannie Andrews, of Boston,
read a manifesto covering all the
points dealt with by congress. This
manifesto, which will be issued to
women throughout the civilized
world, declares that this must be
the last war"
A permanent international COM
mittee was formed. 1t will make
for conferences at
The Hague and arrange for peace
of women to be held at
the same time and place as the peace
conference at the end of the war.
The resolution referring to forti-
fcations, which was passed yester-
day, was modified to-day so that it
now provides simply that the seas
shall be open to all nations on equal
terms.
On the conclusion of the congress
many of the delegates left The
Hague Immediately. The American
delegates scattered, various mem
bers leaving for Germany, Belgium,

sides the criminal docket there are

This trial will attract much interest,
there being fourteen men ont on

there will be about one hundred wit

body OF 60,oU men and officers, If the
men are not kept ?" said he. "It is
your duty, young gentlemen. to keep
the men behind the guns ready when

have carried into effect their wisely
conceived. design of extending to
young men less favored by fortune
the advantages of a solid and at the
same time a Christian education.
This noble example of benefcence,
which all good men approve, we hold
up for imitation and generous emula-
tion to all who are blessed with
means; and We heartily wish that
you yourselves, beloved sons and
venerable brethren. will advance the
cause of the university by sending to
1t students whose superior qualities
of mind and disposition give promise
of the best results.
In addition to other advantages
which are thence to be expected. the
clergy of the church in America Will
receive one and the same culture
and training; and this-we speak to
those who know by experience
means without doubt a clergy whose
piety will bear richer fruit because
of their more active and more har-

DEATH KNELL SOUNDS
FOR BUCK|NC BRONCH
Inroads Made by War Upon
Western Horses Promise to
End Breed.

DENVER, April 1.-THE European
war promises to mark the final passing
of the wild horses Of the range, the
buckinr broncho so long associated with
the west.
Even now there are practically no
wild horses such as once roamed the
ranges. and with the inroads being maze
upon the horses Of the West by the war
his half-eivilized brother. the broncho'
promises to disappear.
Thousands Of horses have been taken
from Colorado. Wyoming. and other
Western States. Not only have British
and French buyers invaded this section
but representatives of the ltallan gov
ernment have combed the country for
mounts During the last few weeks an
italian buyer purchased several hun
dred horses, and so great was his haste
to get them to his home country that
they were sent by express from Denver
to the East, instead Of by freight.
There they were to be hurr1ed apoaru
a steamer for Italy.
Stout Horses Needed.
Several million dollars have been spent
for these horses for war purposes. The
| greatest demand, of course. is for stout,
sound horses capable of work as cav
alry mounts or for artillery. The en-
| tire country has been gone over Two
! or three times by buyers for different
countries, and still Tho demand has
not been filled.
