AMERICAN PEACE SO
MEETS TO ELECT OFFICERS AND
DENOUNCE WAR IN PROGRESS.
It Holds Its 72nd Annual Sesison.
Robert Treat Payne is Elected Pres-
ident—War in Africa Denounced.
Failure of Arbitration in Case of
Alaska Deplored.
Boston May 10. —The annual meet-
ing of the American Peace society elec-
ted these officers: President Robt
Treat Payne; treasurer T. H. Russell;
corresponding secretary Benjamin
Trueblood L. L. D. of Boston; auditor
Dr. W. F. Jarvis and 56 vice presi-
dents. The annual report of the
board was read by Secretary True-
blood.
The report reviewed the proceedings
of the Hague conference and the an-
nual conference of the International
Peace union in Christiana Norway.
Reference was made to the national
controversies which during the year
have gone to arbitration. Regret was
expressed at the failure to settle the
Alaska boundary dispute aud other dif-
ferences between this country and Can-
ada.
"It is painful" the report continues
“to turn to ghastly scenes of destruc-
tion in the kopjes and veldts of South
Africa or to the marshes and jungles
in the Philippines where the hunt of
death goes on where in some places
the fighting has degenerated into
something like pure butchery and in
certain sections a reign of terror pre-
vails. . .
"These unfortunate conflicts in
which the two most advanced nations
of the world have involved themselves
are setting forth afresh all the hor-
rors and moral repulsiveness of war.
“The South African war has met
with almost universal condemnation.
The opposition to the course of the
British has been strong in England it-
self. Friends of peace there have
carried on a heroic protest but they
themselves have suffered abuse and
violence unworthy of any free coun-
try.”
HOUSTON DEMS. WRATHY.
Special to the Daily Light.
Houston Texas May 10.—The re-
port that Jos. F. Meyer chairman of
the county Democratic executive com-
mittee would attempt to foist night
primaries upon the people of Harns
county after they had overwhelmingly
declared two years ago for day prima-
ries is creating quite a storm of indig-
nation. Especially are the country
members of the committee aroused.
The committee has been called to meet
in this city on May 19th and the storm
which has been brewing for
some time may be expected
to break in all its fury and
when it does unless there is a radical
change of sentiment somebody is go
ing to be politically swamped.
Chairman Meyer who bolted
the Democratic primary in the
recent municipal election and
who it is claimed supported
McKinley four years ago may be de-
posed as chairman. Some of the
more ultra-Democrats on the commit-
teee come out openly and advocate his
expulsion. A warm time is promised
when the gavel of the gold-bug chair-
man raps the committee to order.

MAYOR OF HAVANA.
General Rodriguez Nomination Corner
As a Great Surprise.
Havana May 10.—General Alexan-
dru Rodriguez has been nominated by
the National party as its candidate for
the mayoralty of Havana. His ma-
jority was overwhelming. He re-
ceived 66 votes against 15 cast for
Senor Gener nine fur Senor Sayas and
five for Senor Estrada Mora. A re-
solution was adopted that any dele-
gate who would not support the can-
didature of — -ariguez should be ex-
pelled from the party. Rodriguez
was proposed as a conciliation can-
didate the friends of Senor Sayas
and Senor Gener having come to h
dead lock.
Alttaough the delegates who effect-
ed tiie nomination were elected last
September for quite different purposes
the leaders of the National party
assert that the various committees
will abide by this decision. Havana
is astonished at the outcome as the
friends of Senor Mora had contended
that be would certainly be nominated
by the National party. Although Se-
nors Sayas and Gener asserted that
Mora's record as assistant mayor
and acting mayor would defeat him
on ilie ground that the policy of the
mayor last year was dictated by Gen.
Ludlow.
JOHNSON’S SOFT NOSE SHELL.
It Pierces Armor Plate Readily—Rea-
sons Why Offered.
New York May 10. —James W.
Johnson member of the firm of Isaac
G. Johnson and Co. explained last
night how the soft steel caj*
enables a projectile to pierce armor
plate.
"I think" he said "that the action
of the soft steel cap may
be illustrated by a simple experiment.
If you would try to drive a single nail
through a piece of sheet iron the nail
would bend. But if you first drive a
nail through a piece of hard wood you
will penetrate the sheet iron. The
soft nose in other words prevents the
projectile from glancing off. Its
whole force is concentrated at the
point. In one of the tests made at
Indianhead we fired a projectile at the
armor plate at an angle of 21 degrees.
No sooner had the soft nose touched
the plate than the projectile turned at
a right angle to the plate and pene-
trated it”
HOME MISSION WORK.

Chicago May 10.—The committee on

A score of memorials was presented
to the committee urging that the
American Home Mission society should
be retained as the agent of the Metho-
dist body. After debating the ques-
tion an hour the committee adjourned
without coming to any vote upon the
matter.
'Another meeting will be held to-
night to settle the question and the
committeemen express but little doubt
that the socoety will be continued in
charge of this department work.

tion this tenth day of May 1900
affirming our umliaktu belief in the
Cardinal tenets of the People's party as
set forth in tbe Omaha platform and
pledging ourselves anew to continued
advocacy of those grand principles of
human libefty until right shall tri-
umph over might and love over greed
do adopt and proclaim this declaration
of faith:
1. We demand the initiative and re-
ferendum and the imperative mandate
for such changes of existing Federal
and statute laws as will tu'able the
people in their sovereign capacity to
propose and compel the qpoctment of
such laws as they desire; to reject
such as they deem injurious to their
interests and to recall unfaithful pub-
lic servants.
2. We demand the public ownership
find operation of theso menus of com-
munication. transportation and pro-
duction which the people may elect
such as railways telegraphs and tele-
phone lines coal mines etc.
3. The land including all natural
sources of wealth is a heritage of tbe
|M>ople and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes and alien
ownership of land should be prohibit-
ed. All land now tield by railways
and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs aad all lands now-
owned by aliens should be reclaimed
by the government aud held for nctal
settlers only.
4. A scfenUflc and absolute paper
money baaed upon the entire wealth
and population of the nation not re-
deemable in any specific commodity
but made a full legal tctider for all
debts and receivable for all taxes and
public dues and issued by the govern-
ment only without the intervention of
banks and in sufficient quantity to meet
demands of commerce is the best cur-
rency that cau be devised: but until
such a financial system is started
which we shall press for adoption we
favor the free and unlimited coinage
of both silver and gold at the lefcal
ratio of sixteen to one.
5. We demand tbe levy and collec-
tion of a graduated tax on incomes
and Inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same if nec-
essary.
6. We demand the election of pres-
ident vice president. Federal judges
and United States senators by direct
vote of the people.

Privilege.” The amendment was vot-

BRITISH GUESSING
About Transvaal War News —That
Sent Out From London Yes-
terday Was Untrue.
London. May 10. —The crossing of
the Zand river by the British appears
to have been affected sooner than even
the most sanguine expected and this
morning Roberts’ temporary headquar-
ters were established in a cable cart
on the north bank of the river. Though
the opposition the Federals are offering
shows that yesterday's report of the
abandonment of their position was
111 founded. Roberts’ advance force
consisting of 10000 to 12000 mounted
men besides infantry artillery and
the naval contingent appears suffi-
ciently powerful to overwhelm any opt
position the burghers can offer. Even
though as reported yesterday they have
been reinforced by 3000 men from
other commands and possess a score
of heavy guns experts believe the op
position will not be prolonged longer
than necessary to remove the guns and
other impediments in the dfreclion of
Kruonstadt.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
It Will Probably Pass the House at
New York. May 10.—A special <o tbe
Herald from Washington says: Con-
ditions in ihe House distinctly favor
the passage of the ship subsidy bill
through that body during the next
session when it is proposed by the
Republican leaders to bring it for-
ward. There is little opposition to
it on the Republican side and the
Democratic are badly split up over it.
This is indicated by the attitude of
the Demotcratic minority of the com-
miNee. Three of the minority—
Messrs. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts:
Devries of California and Spight of
Mississippi will sign a report oppos-
ing the bill altogether. Two others—
Messrs. Chandler of New York and
Small of South Carolina will sign a
report drawn up principally by Mr.
Chandler approving the general prin-
ciple of tiie bill but insisting on cer-
tain amendments. The most import-
ant of these are change tn the anti-
Trust provision of the bill so as to
make it the duty of the circuit courts
to institute proceedings against vio-
lators of the act and an amendment
in the interest of the navy requiring
the ships benefitted by the act to car-
ry a larger percentage of Americans in
their crews and to train more Amer-
ican boys to seamanship and naviga-
tion. These amendments are gen-
erally acceptable to The Republican
party.
