I t ------ I I I looked expectantly at Roebuck, sweating with fright for his imperiled ! millions. Probably his mental state can be fully appreciated only by a man who has also felt the dread of losing hi3 wealth upon which he is wholly dependnt for courage, respect and self-respect. "Don't misunderstand me, Harvey,' - ' j ne Degran to nlead. forsrpttine- thaf ; ' " - . - ww j there was anybody else to save be- I sides himself. "I didn't mean "What did you mean?" I interrupted, my tone ominously quiet. "We didn't intend" began Partridge. "What did you intend?" I interrupted, as quietly as before. They looked nervously each at the other, then at me. "If you think Rurbank's the man," Roebuck began again, "why, you may go ahead" There burst in me such a storm of anger that I dared not speak until I could control and aim the explosion: Partridge saw how, and how seriously, Roebuck had blundered. He thrust him aside and faced me. "What's the use of beating around the bush?" he said, bluntly. "We've made damn fools of ourselves, senator. We thought we had the whip. We seo we haven't We're mighty sorry we didn't do a little thinking before Roebuck sent that telegram. We hope j'ou'll let us off as easy as you can, and we promise not to meddle In your business again and you can bet your life we'll keep our promise." "I think you will," said I. "I am a man of my word," said he. "And so is Roebuck." "Oh, I don't mean that," was my answer. "I mean, when the Granby object-lesson in the stupidity of premature ingratitude is complete, you shan't be able to forget it." They drifted gloomily in the current of their unpleasant thoughts; then each took a turn at wringing my hand. I invited them up to my sitting-room where we smoked and talked amicably for a couple of hours. It would have amused the thousands of empkiyes and dependents over whom these two lorded it arrogantly to have heard wtth what care they- weighed their timid words, how nervous they were lest they should give me fresh provocation. As they were leaving, Roebuck said earnestly: "Isn't there anything I can do for you, Harvey?" "Why, yes." said I. "Give out a statement next Sunday in Chicago for the Monday morning papers indorsing Cromwell's candidacy. Say you and all your associates are enthusiastic for It because his election would give the large enterprises that have been the object of demagogic atl tack a sense of security for at least four years more." He thought I was joking him. being unable to believe me so lacking in Judgment as to fail to realize what a profound impression in Cromwell's favor such a statement from the great Roebuck would produce. I wrote and mailed him an interview with himself the following day; he gave It out as I had requested. It got me Burbank delegations in Illinois. South Dakota and Oregon the same week. i CHAPTER XVI. A Victory for the People. I arrived at Chicago the day before the convention and, going at once to our state headquarters in the Great Northern, shut myself in with Doc Woodruff. My doorkeeper, the member of the legislature from Fredonia, ventured to interrupt with the announcement that a messenger had come from Senator Goodrich, "Let him in." said I

Atmoj? or 77f COST. tc. As the door-man disappeared Doc glanced at his watch, then said with a smile: "You've been here seven minutes and a half just time for a lookout downstairs 10 telephone to the Auditorium and for the messenger to ' drive from there here. Goodrich is on The messenger wa3 Goodrich's i handy-man. Judge Dufour. I myself have always frowned on these public ! exhibitions of the intimacy of judges in practical politics; but Goodrich had many small vanities he liked hs , auu Ul &aiu 1 nouc Hesitation, 1 10r 1 KneW DaC Was Coming as SOOn T , . as his name had been brought in, and C0UrSe Was OUL "But I can't i.. w 111 o OLUClftkUUU 1U1 his vanity made him believe that the god the great Dufour knelt- to must be the god of gods. There is no more important branch of the art of successful dealing with men than the etiquette of who shall call upon whom. Many a man has in his very hour of triumph ruined his cause with a blunder there by going - j o.e to sop Knnaa nn trVinm v. r,v,,,i.4 w uvixi iitr BLiKJ U1U 11 a V D compelled to come to him. or by compelling some one to come to him when he should have made the concession of going. I had two reasons for thus humiliating Goodrich neither of them the reasons he doubtless attributed to me, the desire to feed my vanity. My first reason was his temperament; I knew his having to come to me would make him bow before me in spirit, as he was a tyrant, and tvrants are always cringers. My second rea son was that I thought myself near enough to 'control of the convention to be able to win control by creating the atmosphere of Impending success. There is always a lot of fellows who wait to see who is likely to win, so that they may be on the side of the man in the plum tree; often there are enough of these to gain the victory for him who can lure them over at just the right moment. As soon as Dufour had taken his huge body away I said to Woodruff: "Go out with your men and gather in the office downstairs as many members of the doubtful delegations as you can. Keep them where they'll be bound to see Goodrich come in and go out." He rushed away, and I waited working with the leaders of three farwestern states. At the end of two hours I won them by the spectacle of the arriving Goodrich. He came in. serene, smiling, giving me the joyously shining eyes and joyously firm hand-clasp of the politician's greeting; not an outward sign that he would like to see me tortured to death by some slow process then and there. Hypocritical preliminaries were not merely unnecessary but even highly ridiculous; yet, so great was his anger and confusion that he began with the "prospects of an old-time convention, with old-time enthusiasm, and that generous rivalry which is the sign of party health." "I hope not, senator," said I. pleasantly. "Here we think the fight 13 over and won." He lifted his eyebrows; but I saw his maxillary muscles twitching. "We don't figure it out just that way at headquarters," he replied oilily. "But. there's no doubt about it. your man has developed strength in the west." "And south." said I, with deliberate intent to inflame, for I knew how he must feel about those delegates we had bought away from him. There were teeth enough in his smile but little else. "I think Burbank and Cromwell will be about even on the first ballot," said he. "May the best man win! We're all working for the good of the party and tha country. But I came, rather, to get your Ideas about platform." I opened a drawer in the table at which I was sitting and took out a paper. "We've embodied our ideas in this," said I, holding the paper toward him. "There's a complete platform, but we only insist on the five paragraphs immediately after the preamble. He seemed to age as he read. "Impossible!" he finally exclaimed. "Preposterous! It would be difficult enough to get any money for Cromwell on such a platform, well as our conservative men know they can t"js- Kim. (To B ContlnaedJ

FORUNIVERSALPEACE

Conference at New York Opens and Hears Opinions lof Prominent Men. PRESIDENT'S LETTER IS READ Root Speaks, Giving the Views of tie National Administration. Both Warn the Delegates Against Expecting Too Much Carnegie Would Like Itxscvelt as Universal Peacemaker. New York, April 10. Warned by President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Root that if succe-s is to crown the efforts of those who are working for peace among the nations of the world their endeavor must be alon practical lines; that they must not, by insisting upon the impossible, put off the day when the possible can te accomplished, the National Arbitration and Peace conference which is meeting in this city under the presidency of Andrew Carnegie began its real activities with two (crowded sessions in Carnegie hall. Hoot Presents the Drago Doctrine. Secretary Root also took occasion in his speech to point out the proposi tions which the United States government will have to make at the coming conference at The Hague. He warned his hearers not to expect too much at this second conference. The president, in a letter to the congress, expressed the hope that the coming conference, might result in the adoption of an international arbitration treaty. Secretary Root, after seconding this hope, declared the United States thought it proper to urge again the discussion or the subject of the limitation of armament of the nations on land and sea, and tho abolition of the practice of using force In the collection of debts owed by one nation to the citizens of another. Roosevelt, the Peacemaker. Carnegie, in an address to the congress, paid a tribute to President Roosevelt and expressed the wish that Roosevelt might be the peacemaker of the future. He declared, however, that Kmpror William is the man. among all men, who holds the peace of the nations in his power. In this connection Carnegie said it was unjust to speak of the emperor as a menace to the peace of Europe, adding that in twenty years upon the throne the German ruler had spilt no blood, nor caused an international war. "DON'T ASK TOO MUCH" President and Secretary Root Warn Those Who Are Zealous. It was at the afternoon session also that the letter from President Roosevelt was presented and read. At night the speakers Included Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, member of the French senate and head of the International Conciliation committee, and Secretary Oscar S. Straus, of the department of commerce and labor, who spoke upon "The peace of nations and peace within nations." President Roosevelt in his letter to the congress urged that Its efforts be devoted to the practical side of the question it had undertaken to discuss. "An impassioned oration about peace," he declared, "which includes an impassioned demand for something which the man who makes the demand either knows or ought to know cannot, as a matter of fact be done, represents not gain, but loss for the cause of peace: for even the noblest cause is marred by advocacy which ij itha insincere or foolish." given adequate salaries. Secretary Root, speaking partly in behalf of the president, dwelt upon the hope that The Hague conference would see another long step toward the attainment of international arbitration. He added a few words of warning concerning anticipations of what this second peace conference is to do nn,t told his hearers not to expect too much rrom ir. lie declared that the government of the United States has beeof the opinion that the possibility of an agreement as to the limitation nf armed forces by land and sea. and of war budgets, ought to be further conFidred and discussed at the cominHague conference. Carnegie, in his address, took a decidedly more optimistic view of the Immediate outlook for universal peace. Speaking for the Arbitration and Peac conference he declared himself a convert to the League of Peace Idea the formation of an international polie never for aggression, always for protection to the peace of the chilize-3 world. War nowadays, he said. Involves the interests of all nations', and therefore one nation has no longer a right to break the peace without refer ence to the other. As an exemplification of the success of this plan Carnegie referred to the League of Peace formed by six of the nations which combined forces in China during the Boxer troubles. CAItXEGIE IS SURPRISED lie Openly Disputes a Statement Made by a Delegate. There was a little flurry in the conference when Carnegie openly contradicted a statement made by one of the delegates. Professor Munsierberg. of Harvard university, speaking of the German position as to peace, said that

the German householder looks to military duty as he looks to paying for fire insurance. Conscription, he sail, was not a burden in Germanj-. Then Carnegie rose, and in reply to the professor said: "That statement was one of the greatest surprises that I have ever had. I wish he vronld to our mills at Pittsburg and ask the thousands of men there why they came here. It is too late in the day for any professor to tell me that conscription is not a burden." W. T. Stead said he did not represent the British government, never did represent it and "hope I never will." He said he represented the British people. Sir Robert Hall. British astronomer, said that scientists alleged that man never thought of war until through his various changes from ; jellified germ he arose to the dignity of apehood. which called from William J. Bryan the remark "We are drawing arguments from unexpected sources. I have often heard that there should bo universal peace because man was made in the image of-God. but this is the first time I have heard it argued that war should result from his being made in the Image of an ape."

SAME LINE OF DEFENSE Will Be Adopted in Thaw's Second Trial As to Alleged Changes in His Counsel. Xew York, April 16. "If another trial is held it has been agreed that the same line of defense s that used in the first trial will be followed. Evelyn Thaw will tell her story again, but her testimony will be greatly strengthened by documentary evidence that was not used before." This is the statement credited to Lawyer Dan O'Reilly, of Harry K. Thaw's counsel.

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE

Report That 500 Are Dead in the i Destruction ot Two Mexican Towns. RUIN OF THE PLACES COMPLETE Government Does Not Credit the Story as to Casualties. WORK OF RESCUE 13 GOINQ ON One of the Stricken Towns Reports Eleven Known Dead and the Earth Still ShakingQuake Details. City of Mexico, April 10. The Banco Nacional (National Bank of Mexico) has received a telegram saying that 500 lives were lost in the destruction of Chilpancingo and Chilapa by the earthquake Sunday night The telegram adds that both cities were completely destroyed. In governmental circles the report is not credited. It U admitted that both cities were leveled to the ground, but it is not thought that the death list will even approximate r00. owing to the fact that the houses are massive affairs built of stone in order to resist earthquake shocks. For Rescue and Sanitation. The federal authorities here have been appealed to by the governors of the districts of Bravos and Chilapa for tents, as the inhabitants in the stricken cities are now living in the open, having constructed dwelling of palm leaves and branches. The governor of the state of Guerrero has dispatched military engineers and troops to the destroyed district and the work of rescue and sanitation is being carried on in a systematic manner. Both cities are so far removed from the railway that it is impossible to obtain accurate and rapid intelligence of the disaster. Xot one of the daily papers has a correspondent in the region. From One of the Stricken Towns. Chilpancingo, Mex., April 16. This city has been completely destroyed by one of the most furious earthquake that has even visited this section. Up to this hour the known Jrad number eleven and the badly injured twentyPC ven. Among the dead is the wife of Postal Inspector Leopoldo Lopez Guerra. and the child of Jose Aleman, the postmaster of the city. Jose Lopez Martinez, manager of the federal telegraph office, was struck on the head by a block of stone and badly injured. The utmost panic prevails everywhere and people are fleeing to the open country. The earth continues to rock at half hour intervals and many minor shocks are completing the work of destruction of the first earthquake. Chilapa Also a Wreck. Word has reached here that the town of Chilapa. forty-two kilometer to the northeastward, has also been destroyed. As yet no details have been received as to the number of the dead and wounded, but it is feared that the number will be large. AT THE CAPITAL CITY Damage Is SlightIIalf the Republic Is Shaken. City of Mexico, April 16. Word from the center of the great destruction of the earthquake of Sunday night was first given to this capital by the Associated Press after repeated trials made during the night and morning to establish communication with the stricken districts. As yet wires to the section are working badly and no exact estimate of the number of the dead has been received. It is believed, however, that the total death list will be large. There were no deaths in the City of Mexico, and beyond damaged plaster and cracked and fallen walls the property loss will be insignificant. Owing to the long duration of the shock this is considered most remarkable and Is only accounted for by the peculiar swell-like motion of the earthquake, which was regular and from east to west. From messages received at the telegraph office here up to this time it appears that the entire southern half of tho republic, including the lower country, and the "mesa" belt, felt the shock. Messages from as far north as an Luis Potosi and as far south as the city of San Juan Bautista, in the state of Tabasco, report feeling the shock in varying degrees. But at no place up to date has a loss of life or great destruction of property been reported except in the state of Guerrero. From these intelligences it would seem that the last earth tremble was greater in extent than any that has preceded it during the last half century. Wisconsin Scatters on Senator. Madison. Wis., April 16. After having taken four ballots and being unable to agree on a senatorial candidate the Republican legislative caucus adjourned for the night The fourtn ballot was as follows: Lenroot, 19; Stephenson, 18; Esch, 17; Cooper, 17; Hatton. lo; Baensch, 5; Winkler, 4; Fairschild, 4; Rogers, 1; Hudnall, 1. Bryan the Logical Candidate; Nashville, Tenn., April 10. One of the last acts of the Tennessee house before sine die adjournment was the adoption of a resolution declaring William J. Bryan the logical candidate for the Democratic party for president ia 1WS.
