It was the small States, especially those of latin .America, that rendered ineffectual all efforts to establish a great penrmainent intemataonal tnbvmai to which au dis putes might be ' submitted. ' They de-. manded equal representation -on the ench, to which of course the great Powers could not consent, and tailing t get t, they virtually killed the prop osition. England, France and the United States, on the whole, stood to gether for all plans looking' to the preservation of peace, but inigeneral on ; practical, working .propositions tney were overwhehnangly . outvoted. The commission when it became Im possible to. reacn any real result on any given proposal, usually salved its conscience fey a sentimental vote in fa vor of "the, principle." This course finally so disgusted Mr. Choate and the American delegates so much that they disdainfully refused to vote when on October 11th the commission adopted a milk and water memorandum set ting forth that "many of the Powers recognised that the time was ripe tor mutuauv accepting certain ' questions as suitable for obligatory arbitration." , At the tenth plenary Session of the conference, held on Thursday, an im posing array of propositions was adopted as its finai act It Is altogeth er douhtflul what they amount to. v To wnat extent they are mere declara tions ot principle - without binding force and to " what extent they are mere improvements in the conventions already existing canont be known until the text of the articles as signed by the delegates is revealed. It is certain that Mr. Choate's proposal if or the Im munity of .merchant ships at sea dur ing war has not been put to force and the arbitration court plans have been rendered abortive by failure to name number or method of oho ice. . The question of asylum to warsHips in neu tral ports appears to have been settled on a somewhat wide open basis, so that according1 to Che teutjest advices It would be In the power of Russia to give United States warships complete shelter and to allow them to rent in the, harbor of Vtadjlvostock, even in the event of war with Japan,' without infringing the laws of neutrality.

To one who writes from year to year of these festivals it la hard to find spme thing new or even to tell the old in a new way. Persons Ignorant of the observ ance of most other sacred seasons, yet remember the signs and charms of All Hallowe'en. There are many and var ious social and solitary. Among the former the divination by nuts is com mon. The nuts arranged In pairs, each pair named for a, lad and lass, arep laced before or in the fire; "If iti, .hum rmUtlv tne-fether." savs a high authority, "they prognosticate a happy marriage or a hopeful love, if, on the contrary, they bounce and fly asunder., the sign Is unpropltlous." Thee glowing nuts are smbloms trus Of what In human life we view. The Ill-matched couple fret or pine, a And thus in strife themselves consume; Or from ench other wildly start And with a noise forever oart.
