the I'nited States: the Hon. Richard
olney, secretary of state, and to the
Honorable Senate: The American
Peace society, acting by its board of
directors, is moved to say:
••We rejoice, and we believe the
whole civilized world rejoices, that ar-
hit ration is triumphing over war. 1 e
jrlory of this treat international act
t>etween the two most powerful na-
I tions of the world is not merely that
thev are to keep peace with each other,
hut even more they solemnly declare
that hereafter, between them, all that
j either party asks or will accept is
I justice. .
•Uc believe this treaty and it
sential principle mark a new epoch in
I civilization, a worthy culmination of
the centurv. Peace U tween the na-
tions of the world is the essential
foundation of international brother-
hood anil human progress. Peace, not
,o much as a probable outcome of (lis
cord, but assured peace; peace pro-
tected bv solemn treaties of arbitra-
tion, founded on the solemn rocks of
justice.
In these words, with the excess
jo*, the American Peace society .which
hiis been working in the cause of peace
for three-quarters of a century, cannot
now refrain from expressing Us exul-
tation We congratulate America and
Ureal Britain on the signing of tins
treaty auspicious harbinger of peace
brought out under the constraint of
1 christian conscience.
■We eirnestly petition the honor-
able Senate of the I'nited States, after
giving thorough consideration to the
provisions Of the treaty, not to allow
minor considerations to outweigh the
imp.,run. e of accepting the results of
the mutual concessions and verify the
treaty at an carl* day.

Missouri Supreme Court Impugned by
Dueetrow'e Attorney.
St. Lo"is, Mo., .Ian. 28.—Governoi
Charles P. Johnson, Charles Noland
and .lohu W. Booth, Arthur Duestrows
attorneys, have completed their mo-
tion for a rehearing by the supreme
court of the motion for a new trial of
the famous case, and it will be for-
warded to Jefferson City. The motion
will prove one of the sensations of the
year !n a legal way. If the allega-
tions contained in it can be substan-
tiated, it will involve the supremo
court in a scandal of serious propor-
tions. In fact, although the life of a
man is Involved, this circumstance will
be completely overshadowed by the
gravity of the charges against the
.ourt. on, rather, against the judge
who wrote the opinion (Justice Sher-
wood), for it will raise the question of
the competence of the court and the
legality of Its acts.
The principal points upon which the
motion for a rehearing is based is a di-
rect charge that the court did not read
the record in the case, as is required
by the statutes. The attorneys for
the defendant do not insinuate or
heat about the bush in making this
charge: they state this plainly and in
unmistakable language in the hrst
lause of their motion. . .
The motion attacks the opinion it-
self, and claims to tind in that docu-
ment ample proof that the court lit i
read the record of the case. 1 Ins. t is
alleged, is shown by numerous errone-
ous statements in regard to testimony,
which are accepted by tie court as
part of the record, but which do not
occur therein. These inaccuracies arc
oiite numerous, but only the most
glaring ones are cited in the motiou
In the seventh section of the |"'r's
opinion a reference is made to the
xpert testimony introduced hy the
state. Among the experts who
testified Is mentioned Dr. "ol •%
A. Krebs and a little lower down lef-
erence is made to Dr. Krebs testi-
mony. Now, as a matter of fact. Or
Krebs never testified at the trial, and
no other expert gave testimony at all
similar to that ascribed to him b> the
court, so that the error cannot be
simply one of name. Half a dozen
other instances are quoted.
Duestrows attorneys virtually
charge that the slate's prosecutor was
allowed to write the opinion for
supreme court.

Jkrrekson City, Mo.. Jan. 28. 'lhe
House passed another fellow servant
bill this morning, extending the pro-
visions of the bill passed yesterday to
cases against all kinds of companies
carrying i ussengers—street railways,
steamboats and the like—as well us
steam railroads.
It is likely now that the fellow
servant bill and probably both of those
passed by the House will become laws
The Senate is disposed to pass the
bills and the lobby has about conclud-
ed that it must concede something mid
as this question lias become a public
issue it is better to give up this thun
to unger the people into sending a
legislature to the capital that will pass
I n (ireat variety of laws against cor-
no rations. .
The lobby will continue its obstruct-
ive tactics, but chiefly to concentrate
interest on the fellow servant subject.
It is cheaper for the railroads to let
any number of fellow servant bills
passed thun to suffer any change in
freight rates. < >ne day's receipts from
freight carrying would pay "ff all
('aniage suits thut would he piled up
I in veins from fellow servant legisla-
tion. A reduction of five per cent in
freight rates would raise as much
trouble as a reduction of passenger
'fares and since the Legislature feels
bound to do something, the railroads
will keep up a fight along the whole
line, but try to keep the interest cen-
tered where hostile legislation will ilo
them the least harm.
The house began work this morning
by w rangling over Aydelotte s resolu-
tion to do uwav with the state normal
schools and for the maintenance of a
normal department to the state uni-
versity. which should be 1 hone au-
thority outside of the state superin-
tendent of public schools, with author-
ity to grant state certificates to
teachers.
Tribble sprang an advance sheet
! from the state superintendent s report
in which Superintendent Kirk sajs of
the normals: "Of the .VHI full gradu-
I ales of the state normal schools anil ol

sary to give professional training, and
