It Is stated that while both Guateniala and Salvador, have accepted in principle the proposition for a peace conference the question of arbitration would he a subject of future consideration. A fortnight ago there was a disposition on the part of the belligerents to arbitrate.

The guest ion Hum was whether Guatemala had injured Salvador by harboring insurgents on her territory or Whether Salvador by doing the same thing had injured Guatemala. But thfe recent battle, with the death of General Regalado, the former. President of Salvador and the leader of the Salvadorean troop,s, changed the situation. It Is pointed Qut that n» no territorial oMXUlflaary question is m dispute the - matter of lndemnltyTor invasion of territory would lie a main question by the peace conference. The cAtrse of war Is Guatemala's charge that Salvador Harbored on its side of the boundary revolutionists who planned to overthrow President Cabrera. Salvador rotortcd wfrtr simitarcharges against Guatemala. President Roosevelt sought the cooperation of President Diaz because of that ruler's strong influence with Salvador. Guatemala suspects Mexico of

and two weeks later to be buttoned to the chin in a sealskin, to round the Horn and travel up the coast of Chili In a borrowed warship, is in part the task which Elihu Root, Secretary of

State of the United States, has set for himself. It's only a portion of his task, for he will visit and be entertained In the capitals of each of the countries visited. He has had a forward part in the third International conference of American States held in Rio Janeiro.

Much has been made of the luxury and grandeur in which Mr. Root is traveling. He has pretty nice quarters and plenty of “help" around to meet his needs —-that Can not be denied. lie Is aboard a boat as big as an ocean liner and has quarters especially fitted op for hitu, his wife and his son and

his daughter. Each has otto to three cabins, each has a private bath and each has the service of as many of the crew of 400 men as they need. Then they have the range of the ship which is brand new. recently btriit for the navy of the United States and as fast is any cruiser In the lot of crack ships \ ltich Uncle Sam owns.

But even with these advantages Mr. Root’s task is not easy. To him has been intrusted the work of bringing tbout a better understanding among th? countries of the new hemisphere. It Is a task that has been essayed by great men of the past and without the fruitful results hojted and prayed for. No less a man than James G. Blaine gave the best years and best thought of his Hfe to the problem and died with it unsolved.

Express Companies Divide Up.

In response to pressure, the stockholders of the United States Express Company, of which Senator Platt of New York Is president, assurances have been given by the management that dividends wou)d ho doubled at the next period. Since 1901 4 per cent has been paid. Wells, Fatgo & Co., according to similar pressure, has announced an increase of 2 per cent in its dividend rate, and a semi-an-nual payment of 5 per cent July 16. The malcontents ertill insist Vitat the company is earning more than 30 per cent, and haa a surplus of $20,000,000.

Birds that Eat Boll Weevil.

A bulletin edited by the Agricultural Department gives the result of an investigation of the relation of birds to the oottan wer-Til, begun by the biological survey in 1904. It is found that twentyeight species of birds feed upon the insect enemy of cotton. Including such weltknown birds as the quail, nighthawk, pheebe and meadow lark. While fewer weevils arc destroyed in winter than iq summer, owing to the fact that the weevila are more protected by the enfolding plant, • greater number of species feed upon them in winter.

It is added that the commission considers that General Heuss sTfoiild be expelled fromTikv army and that Admiral Alexieff. former viceroy in the far east, should be reprimanded. The sentences, it is said, will be formalities and will not be executed.

Perhaps the only Russian reputation which stood the test of the war with the Japanese, in the estimation of the outside world, is that of General Stoessel. the heroic defender of Port Arthur, lie Served with distinction in the RussoTurkish war front 1877 to 1878. He was made a colonel in 1889 and a major general in 1899. The next year he became commander of the Ninth East Siberian Sharpshooters' Brigade.

For his service in the campaign against the Boxers in 1900 he was made a lieutenant general. In February. 1904. when the war with Japan broke out Stoessel was appointed commander at Port Arthur, and soon afterward was made commander of the entire army corps ordered to the defense of that fortress. In recognition of his gallant defense Emperor Nicholas conferred upon hint the title of aid de camp to the Czar and the German Emperor gave him the German Order of Poor le Merito.

The Government as an Employer.

Jr. an address to'the economic section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Cornell university Monday. H. T. Newcomb, the railroad statistician, challenged the prevalent opinion that the government is the best employer. T • prove this he quoted statistics showing that while the cost of living advanced 17 per cent from 18945 to 1904, and while the average wages in private employ had advanced 12.745 per cent, there was not th-» slightest advance in wages in •public rmj’nayment. He referred also to the restrictions placed on federal office holders, in the curtailment of their political privileges, and reminded his hearers that all except government employes are fri'o to petition Congress. Furthermore, Mr. Newcomb points out that when the government becomes an employer it has the power to compel the service of its employes upon terms of its own choosing, and experh nee has shown that it will exercise this power.

Crimp from Study of Crime.

Dr. William J. Patterson of Denver, Colo., who was an exuert in criminology and a university gnu mate, has been arrested for issuing a fraudulent S2O ch-tclc, and is now in the city jail, a physical and mental wreck. Ur. Patterson says that his only excuse is that his long study of crime developed the criminal instinct within himself. ‘‘l’m a living example,” he says, "of a man with criminal instincts highly developed. I could not be straight if I wanted to, and would defraud people at times when 1 did not need the money and had no possible reason for talcing it. Nearly all men who are convicted* of crimes are criminals by nature, and their nature will come out iu any environment, whereas, if a man is naturally right his environment is not going to make any difference." Dr. Patterson had previously been committed for forgery. lie has wealthy parents and a wife and two children.’ - -

UNITED STATES IS SUPREME.

Its Commerce Exceeds That of All Countries In Hemisphere. As the time approaches for holding the international American conference at Rio Janeiro, emphasis is given the commercial preponderance of the United States in the affairs of the western hemisphere by a report issued by the government, which shows that of the total commerce of all the countries of the western hemisphere that of the United States exceeds one-half.

To be amirhte, the total commerce is placed at $5.4150.027,04)0, of which that of the United States is $2,80(5,179,000. The total imports of all America amount to $2,184,377,000. of which $1,179,135,000 enter the United States. Of the total exports of all America, amounting to $2,8455.(550.000, the United States ships sl,62(5.984.000. According to the latest figures available the imports of the Latin-Ameriean republics, with whom Secretary Root will try to establish more friendly relations, amount to $732.000.000, and the exports to $140,000,000. Of the iuqwirts the United States now furnishes $189,000,000, or practically 2(5 per cent, and of the exports the United States takes $35,000,000, or practically 25 per cent.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Fros. Archibald Coolidge of tlie history department of Harvard lias been selected to represent the university as the Sorbonne lecturer in Paris for next year. William 11. S. Demurest was inaugurated as president of Rutgers college, hundreds of alumni and representatives of other colleges, all robed, taking part in the ceremonies.

I luring the past seven years Missouri has increased the amount paid in teachers salaries by 41 per cent. During the same time the increase iu the number of teachers has been only 14 per cent.

In his Thi Beta Kappa oration at Columbia. Charles Francis Adams, the distinguished Harvard alumnus and overseer, advocated a division of his alma mater and other big universities and colleges into a number of small colleges or groups, each under a master who could be in personal contact with every student, find out his aptitudes and deficiencies and suggest or prescribe his course of study. He says that -he lias come to regard the elective system iu its present form of development as a mischievous fad and denies that the average youth of 18 lias well defined or clearly developed aptitudes. In his judgment, a college education should seek to cultivate all the sides cf the rniud, so that the intellectual, like the physical, athlete should be evenly developed. A new law in Ohio requires the names of all candidates for member of board of education, however nominated, to be placed on ballot without any designation whatever, except "For Board of Education.” .The whole number of ballots to he printed for each school district la* to be divided by the number tff candidates, and tlie quotient so obtained is the number of ballots to be printed in series of ballots. The names are then alphabetically nrranged. nnd the first scries printed. Then the first name is placed last nnd the same number printed, nnd so on until each name has stood first on the list. These ballots are then arranged in tablets with no two ballots with same order of, names consecutive. The vote is 1 indicated by placing a cross at the left of the name of the person for whom the vote is cast. The one hnving the highest number of votes js elected, and the second highest and sp on, until the required number has been elected. Seven hundred small country schools in Indiana have been abandoned since the movement toward the consolidation of country schools began. These schools have given way to 280 larger consolidated schools. Report shows that of ninetyone counties reporting the people fortythrqe endorse consolidation, in nine they are against consolidation, in thirty-nine the experiment has not been sufficient to enable the people to decide. Ap average oL 8,312 children were transported to consolidated schools every day during, 1905. at an average daily cost of $824>85.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

- a 1 The general condition of Chicago. I business makes a favora- ■ ■ —— 1 ble comparison with that of a year ago. In some respects the activity is more pronounced, especially in manufactures, construction and transportation. The government crop tive cereal yields exceeding all former aggregates added greatly to trade prospects and encourages more freedom in making heavy commitments for the future. While the average returns for breadstuffs show some decline, agricultural conditions are prosperous, this materially advancing industrial interests and financial ease. Production reflects little change over its recent unprecedented volume, but there is a forward tendency in furnace output and; factory lines. Local improvements never before were so extensive, this being also true at other points drawing supplies from this market. Holidays have caused a smaller movement of raw material and lessenedthe movement of other commodities, but this is a temporary condition, which does not adversely affect values or interfere with the distribution of necessaries. Seasonable quiet in leading retail trade is fully offset by increasing activity in the jobbing branches, personal buyers of fall merchandise for the interior having made a good start. Provisions bring remarkably high prices, but the demaud for grain moderated and shipments declined. The total movement of grain at this port, 5,473,684 bushels, compares with 6,194,498 bushels last week. Receipt* decreased 39.9 “per cent and shipments--65.9 per cent, as compared with a year ago. Lumber receipts aggregated 52,280,000 feet, against 45,691,000 feet last week. Compared with the closing a week ago, prices advanced in aa.ta_.j4gper bushel, corn lc, hogs 10c, lard 17%c, cattle 20c and pork $1.25 pel* barrel, but declined in wheat l%c and ribs 2%c. Failures reported in Chicago district number 18, against 9 last week and 27 a year ago.—Dun’s Trade Review. *

~ ~ ~-|[ Trade and industry arc n6W York, of very large volume for an ordinarily quiet midsummer period. Glowing crop prospects, with close to record possible yields of wheat and <M)m, and large out-turns of potatoes, barley and cotton, have made for confidence in placing future orders to an extent not usual at this early date. Building continues active without apparent check; the iron and steel trades report shorter than usual summer shutdowns probable, and the likelihood of large surplus supplies of wheat and com lead to the hope tlifit export trade will show expansion in a short time.
