miners of Arkansas and Indian Territory,

at a dinner at the Metropolitan club.
Among those present were Congressmen
Bartholdt of Missouri, Norris of Nebraska
and Slayden of Texas.
Mr. Bowen said that the Americans pro-
posed the formation, of a general treaty
of arbitration which grants jurisdiction
to The Hague court over such matters as
are included in it and the earliest pos-
sible creation of a permanent interna-
tional congress to codify the laws of the
nations and keep the code up to date, in-
sisting that this is the only plan which
can make permanent peace possible, and
at the same time is practical.

minister, was a guest, and said that he
could assure America that Colombia

mains of eleven more victims of the fire
have been discovered, bringing the death
list at the morgue up to 418.
Those of Andrew Coleman and David
Cook were found in the ruins of a store

Five bodies were taken out of the ruins
of the Kingsbury house. The first four
were those of Louis Stambler, a tailor, 34
years of age; his wife Celia, his daughter
Rosie, 10 years old, and Stambler’s niece,
Miss Fannie Weiner, 23 years of age. The

Chicago, May 30.—Fire early today de-
stroyed Armour & Co’s, elevator “D,”
standing along a slip exetnding from the
south branch of the river at Fisk street,
and was spread by means of sparks to
the John Spry Lumber company’s yards,
22d and Fisk streets.
With the elevator were destroyed 1,000,-
000 bushels of wheat, corn and oats. Four
men employed in the elevator were hurt,
one fatally, soon after the fire started,
when a series of explosions caused by
ignition of the dust, spread the flames
throughout the building.
The loss was estimated roughly aft
from $500,000 to more then $1,000,000.
In addition 15 cars filled yesterday with
grain were on the tracks by the elevator
and these were destroyed. Switch engines
were hurried to the switch track and 150
cars were hauled out of danger.
Within an half hour after the sounding
of the first alarm, five special calls had
been sent in, and 60 engines, some from
as far north as Lakeview, together with
the fire boats Queen, Yosemite and Illi-
nois, were summoned to the scene. The
firemen were obliged to get nearly all
their water from the slip, no waler plugs
being within available distance.
The building destroyed was 500 feet long,
20 feet wide and three stories in height,
built of brick. It was not near any
other building, but the fire was of such
extent that plants two blocks away were
endangered. Among these were the gas
tanks of the People’s Gas Light company,
between 22d and 23d streets, on Center
Firemen were stationed to pour
water on these, when the embers were
carried in that direction thickly and the
gas company was notified. It responded
that it would withdraw the gas from the
tanks at once.
The men hurt in the elevator were
watchmen and were standing near one
of the chutes leading to the water front
when one of the explosions blew them en-
tirely out of the building.
The power house of the Commonwealth
Electric company, on the west bank of
the river not far from the burning ele-
vator, caught fire and fire boats were
sent to extinguish the flames there. Com-
panies were also sent to keep wet the
walls of elevator “C” of Armour & Co.
The. walls of elevator “D” fell a few min-
pects for peace and justice. The same
spirit prevails in the other southern re-
publics, he said.
Congressman Bartholdt
said:
“The friends of arbitration must realize
that as long as there is no agreement be-
tween nations to keep the peace they
must be in readiness for all possible emer-
gencies, and we therefore should not an-
tagonize a naval program as fai’ as it JS
necessary for the national defense. On
the other hand, the friends of the naval
program should remember that in order
to defend it it is not only necessary but
uncalled for to antagonize or make light
of the peace movement.
Congressman Slayden said that history
did not justify the popular belief that the
Americans were not peace loving people.
He added:
“Americans will fight at the drop of the
hat, and I am glad of it, but we must not
let the hat be aropped. If they are quick
to fight they are also willing to faithfully
keep their promises. They will abide uy
their contracts. We have in the United
States the bitterest political fights known
to history, each side affirming and be-
lieving that if the other wins the country
will go to the devil. Yet when the issue
has been determined in the regular way
the losing side gracefully, even gayly,
submits. It will be so in international
matters, and we who take an active part
in the work of the Interparliamentary
union should try to have these treaties
made while there is no threat from any
source on earth.
“We appear to have been commissioned
by Providence to promote this work.
What we want to do and what should be
done to maintain the peace of the world
is plain enough. To secure that peace the
union demands treaties of arbitration—a
permanent international congress and in
the end disarmament.”

Durbant Natal, May 30.—Rebel Zulus
again attacked Col. Laucher’s column yes-
terday. They fiercely assaulted the Brit-
ish camp and fought obstinately for sev-
eral hours, but were finally beaten off
with heavy loss by the steady fire of the
troops. The British had three killed and
twelve wounded.
An important circling operation by the
command of Col. McKenzie resulted in
from forty to fifty of Chief Bambata’s
followers being killed. Big herds of cat-
tle and many women and children fell into
the hands of the British.

Nashville, Tenn., May 30.—Delegates to
the Democratic gubernatorial convention
were a little slow in assembling this
morning after the strenuous session of
yesterday. The convention was called to
order by W. T. Murray of Chattanooga,
a member of the conference committee
appointed yesterday afternoon to agree
on the temporary chairman. Mr. Murray
read the report of the conference com-
mittee, which suggested James C. Brad-
ford of Nashville as a suitable compro-
mine. Mr. Bradford was chosen by ac-
clamation and escorted to the. chair. Mr.
Bradford is a prominent lawyer of this
city.
The convention then proceeded with the
temporary organization. After the per-
fection of the temporary organization the
convention adjourned until 3 o’clock this
afternoon in order to give the committee
on credentials time to investigate
tests in various countries.
It is possible the convention will reach
