PKHUN, March SO. Chancellor von
yethmann-Hollweg. In the Reichstag to
day, discussed disarmament and Interna
tional arbitration, but without departing
na lota from tha known standpoint of the
Herman government, often declared on for
mer occasions.
Tha Imperial chancellor saw the chief
difficulty In a disarmament agreement In
the possibility of supervision of Individual
atata.
"Cintrol over these." ; ha said, "I regard
ax absolutely Impracticable. The mere at
tempt ti control would have no other re
sult than continual mutual distrust and
universal turmoil. General disarmament
I an Insoluble problem as long as men are
men.
"It will remain true that the weak will
he the prey of the strong. If any nation
feels that It Is unable longer to spend cer
tain sums for defensive purposes. Inevita
bly It will drop to the second rank. There
a 1 says will be a stronger one ready to
take Its place. We Germans, In our ex
posed situation, cannot shut our eyes to
this reality.
o Practical riaa.
"The nations. Including Germany," said
the chancellor, "have been talking dis
armament since the first Hague conference,
but neither In Germany nor elsewhere has
a practical plan been proposed. Great
Britain wishes the limitation of armaments,
but slmultaneouHly wants a superior or
equal fleet. Any conference on this subject
la bound to be fruitless. No standard for a
limitation can be found, and any conceiv
able proposal would be shattered on the
question of control."
Von Bethmann-Hollweg Instanced Na
poleon's limitation of tha Prussian army
when Prussia, adhering to the letter of Ita
treaty, trained a full army by shortening
the period of training. Germany was will
ing, lis said, to accept the Kngllsh proposal
for an exchange o Information regarding
navy building programs. He accepted the
Idea of arbitration In principle, but uni
versal arbitration was as Impossible of ac
complishment as universal -disarmament.
Tba chancellor's speech, whiob was along
the -iine nf his earlier utterance, -rwe made
In the discussion of th eresolutlons offered
by the socialists and radicals, asking for
an extension of International arbitration
and the limitations of armaments. These
resolutions cams before the house at tha
opening of the customary debate on foreign
affairs In connection with th echanoellor's
budget. The chancellor deferred his re
marks until the representatives of the
leading parties had been heard.
Kaaits Talks of America.
fount Von Kan Its, conservative, devoted
the greater part of his speech to American
affairs, contrasting the speech of Com
mander William 81ms of the American
navy at the Guild hall, London, which
called forth a reprimand from President
'raft with the utterance of Congressman
Champ Clark concerning the annexation
of Canada, saying:
"While an American naval officer Is as
suring England of the friendship of the
Vnlted States, a future president of that
nation is talking of the absorption of
Canada."
Canadian reciprocity, ha said, raised the
point of what compensatory favors were to
be had by Germany. Of the proposed
Anglo-American complete arbitration
treaty, the speaker said that the plan
promised little. If questions Ilka that of
the Monroe doctrine were excluded
tr. Bpslin. vice president and leader of
the center party, said that he favored

EL PASO, Tex., March 30 All available
lnsurrectos In the field In northern Mexico
are being concentrated east of Chihuahua,
according to news received here. It Is be
lieved by Insurrecto sympathizers that the
purpose of this move is to allow thoso
who have' fought for the Insurrecto cause
t have some part In the consideration of

cent fighting around Chihuahua Is regarded
as indicating that the men In the field be

evidence of good faith upon the part of
the government preparatory to peace
negotiations.
However, the concentration of Maderos'
forces near Chihuahua would make pos
sible an Immediate movement against that
city should negotiations fall.
Many of the lnsurrectos are small farm
ers; they have been In the field for months
nd have suffered many hardships. As the
time for planting their crops Is now at
hand It is thought here that they wilt be
willing to return to tbetr farms and await
the development of reforms if assured by
ths cabinet that the reforms already out
lined will be enacted. They will demand,
however, that they retain their arms, that
all prisoners taken since the outbreak of
the Insurrection be released and that the
families of those who have fallen In the
liturrecto ranks be given the same com-
pensatlons awarded to families of the
federal army.

It la believed, following th fight of Mon

new state officer and deputy Inspector or
the construction or public bullOing, who
Is to prevent the recurrence of audi vendi
tions In public work as has been com
plained of by the house and senate com
mittees on Institutions and asylum. Tha
preseDt law provides that the state archi
tect, George A. Berllnghoff, shall supervise
the construction of buildings for which he
draws the plans, but In the opinion of sev
eral committees he has not been doing
this work, and the governor's remedy Is to
appoint a new officer who shall work un
der the governor, bearing tha title of dep
uty Inspector and drawing a salary of
VISm. with S4.50O for traveling expenses.

ferred to a special committee consisting of
