EACE ON EARTH" GOV. ANSEL'S TEXT. outh Carolina Executive at Lake ohonk Conference-Progress In Arbitration. olionk Lake, N. Y., May 20.-Gov. F. Ansel of South Caroliia tiday dressed the Lake Mohoiik onfer nee on "International Arbitr,-atizn.'' He said in part: I desire in the first place to ex tend my thanks to Mr. Smiley for the very kind invitation extended to me to attend this sessiol of the confer ee anld to express my interest in and indorsement of the object of its meeting. "The subject of international arbi tration is one that has appealed to me' for many years past, and I wish to! express a hope that the day is not far distant when differences among the nati4.ns of the world shall be set tied, not by the sword, but by some court of arbitration established and maintained by all the powers. Much progress has already been made along the lines iidicated by the two meet-' ings of The Hague conference already Ield and the one that is to be held about the year 1915, and I, for one, believe -that much: of the good work ralready done along these lines can be attributed to the work of former meetings of this conference and the influence flowing from them. 'IPeace -on earth, good will to men' is A lesson that was taught by the writers of old, and is the principle on which the nations of the world should stand in the settlement of the many questions that arise. "It has been a pleasure to me to, see the progress made in the past few years along the line of interna tional arbitration, and the many ex pressions made by the noted thinkers nd spea:kers of this and other coun ries in advocacy of the same. The principle of t'he golden rule is one that nations, as well as people, should work out and practice in all matters which pertain to themselves and oth ers. Right and not might should pre vail and the brotherhood of man uld be recognized and practiced. "Many, if not all, of the questions difference and the causes t-hereof tween nations can be amicably and' tisfactorily settled by the recogni ~ion by each of the rights of each, and when an a.micable settlement cant not be brought about by conference between representatives of each, then resort should be had to a court of ar bitration whose action should be final and binding. ''The establishmen of this court, of course, can only be brought about by agreement among all 'the powers of the world, but I for one believe that ~f all the powers will agree to the establishment of such a court, that an agreement should be entered into between .as many as will agree, and others seeing good accomplished will ultimately come in and join hands with t'hem in working for t'he good of all.'' ' .. ASYLUM WNQUIRY ADJOURNED.. Committee Will Not Meet Again Un til July 27-Testimony Practi cally Completed. Columbia, May 20.-The committee, whih is investigating the affairs of the State Hospital for the Insane de cided this afternoon to adjourn until July 27 at 4 o'clock. This means that the Asylum investigation will~ stop until that time. The committee decided that it would not close t'he doors to new evidence, but it does not wish repetition and reiteration of, what has already been testified to.: In the meanwhile the regents and au thorities are to submit recomm~enda tions in writing, and when the com mittee meets again in July, will prob ably begin to frame up its report. The evidence before the commnittee tog d.ay was entirely cumulative, except 'for the expansion of the incident r4e tive to Mr. Hunter A. Gib', of the Columbia bar. This particutr inei det is of interest, because it was Mr. Thnter A. Gibbes and another "me-: morialist,'' who sent a memorial to 'members of the 'teneral assembly,: which is largely responsible for the investigation 4ihat is now on. Dr. Baboek's sa atemnent relative to Mr, Gibbes was printed today. and bright and eariv this morning Mr. Gibbes; was on hand, insisting that his posi tion be heard and be made palic, T.he committee determined to hear bim at the afternoon session. This morning, the only witness was Dr H H. Griffin, a young man of biiyand force, who is an assistant physician at the Hospital for the In sane, and is in imme.diate and entire control of the colored mal-e depart ment. Dr. Griffin saw things in a broad gauge way. and expressed sat isfaction with conditionls and espec iall with the cooperation that 'he had reerived. There were interestingt sug gestions made by h:im, 'but all in all, he +hink the color'ed men are pretty wctll I ~t'.al zV 2'O ama TILLMAN WANTS LESS TALK. Says "Speeches for Home Consump tion are Getting too Frequent" For Comfort. l%a:!Iiill-tOl. _ilv 20.-Senato Tillinan todaV on te floor of the sen ate said lie wanteI to mnake a sug-es tion to the clairman ot the c uiimitte< on finance. "We have," he said, "just spen the )est part of a day in a useles: Wran1le -resulting in the usual victor: of a IUajoritV of eight or 10 votes fo: the astute manager in control of ti bill. I want to suggest that he mig'h get a good mary more votes if hi would enforce th-e rule which forbid: a senator to speak more than twice oi the same subject." Mr. Aldrich replied that he ha( been hoping that much of the discus sion which seemed unnecessary woul< soon cease. "I accept," he said, '"the criticisn of the senator from South Carolina.' "What I want to say," continue< Mr. Tillman, looking over the senatE chamber in a hesitating manner, "il that while I don't want to call dowr castigation upon my head, speechez for home consumption are getting to< frequent for my comfort.' FORETOLD TIME OF DEATH. Batesburg Man Knew Beforehand When he Would Die. Anderson Intelligencer. Batesburg people tell of a curious incident wit'h regard to the death this week of Mr. William McAllister of that pla-ce. Several years ago, wher his wife died, he had a double tomb erected in the village cemetery foi himself and wife. He even went so far as to have the date of his own death engraved or his side of the tomb. This he put dowr as March 20, 1909. This was also his birthday. Strange enough, he died in little more than. a month after the date, or May 12. He now lies buried under that tomb, with the date unchanged He was an old man and seemed to feel the loss of his wife to such an exteni that he was cognizant that he could nt long survive her. But it should be left to the psychologists to figure ut whether his' setting the date oi his death had much to do with having it occur so near that time.

MOHONK CONFERENCE CLOSES The Conference Call on Uncle Sam To Take the Iniatitive. Mohonk, Lake, N. Y., May 21. With an imposing array of speakers the fifth annual meeting of the Lake Molionk coneference on international arbitration concluded its deliberations tonight. Following, in part, is the platform adopted by the conference: "We urge upon our government, which has been so conspicuously and so honorably identified with the progressive policies of The Hague, prompt action toward perfecting the important meaures there inaugurated, an d the complete development of the system of arbitra tion. We especially urge its early I initiative in the establishment of the international court of arbitral justice. "We further urge the negotiation of a general treaty of arbitration be tween all nations, and look forward with increasing hope to the day when treaties of arbitration shall provide for the reference to The Hague of all international differences not settled by regular diplomatic negotiation.'' Only A Secondary Matter. "Yes,'" said the affable theatrical manager, "our next production is to be something really wonderful in the way of comic opera." "Got something new?" asked the intervi-ewer. "Yes, indeed. I have engaged Drillem Daily, tlhe famous stage man ager, to devise the evolutions and groupings of the chorus. I have re tained Cuttan Fitten, the eelebrated costumer, to ~pla.n and prepare the ga'rments worn by the principals and the chorus, and I have engaged Red den Yaller, the renowned scenic ar tist, to execute the stage settings. Can you beat that ?'' "But who .a:re to write the music and the liberetto?'' "Pooh! Haven'.t )tad time to tihink abouit that yet.''
