JERT'SALKM. Palestine. May 3.-The In
habitants have been aroused to the point
of rioting by the operations of a party of
English archaeologists, who are accused of
having excavated beneatr. the Inviolable
Mosque of Omar and removed relics re
puted to include the ark of the covenant,
the censor and other sacred vessels which
belonged to the tribes of Israel. '
Azmy Bey, me Turkish governor, was
mobbed on the streets for supposed com
pncuy in me proisnation ana nootea as a
"pig." The mosque has been closed and
is closely guarded pending the arrival from
Constantinople of officials of the govern
ment, who will make an Investigation.
The expedition worked for two years on
a large scale, beginning at the village of
Seloam, which lies at the southeast end of
Jerusalem on tha aouthern alone of the
Mount of Olives, overlooking the valley of
Kedron and the pool of Slloam. The ex
plorers are credited with having excavated
a passage from the pool of Slloam toward
the place where once stood Solomon's tem
ple, built In 1012 B. C, pillaged and re
stored and finally destroyed by Titus, A.
D. TO. Falling to reach the relics sought
In this manner, the explorers, according to
the alleged confessions of the guards of
the mosque, bribed the guards, entered the
mosque and after digging on six nights
spirited away the treasures "the where
abouts of which," saya an Arablo paper.
"none knew except God and these English.
Mystery surrounds the expedition, whose
operations have been of such magnitude
as to make evident that a large sum of
money was Invested. It Is reported that
wealthy Englishmen and Americans formed
a syndicate, of which the Duchess of Marl
borough (who waa Consuelo Vandei-biltj
was a member, on the strength of the dls
covery of the location of tha relics by

BATTIMORl;. May S.-Presldent Taft. In
hla speech at the opening of the third
National Tee.ce Conference hare today, said
the United states would keep hands off
and not seek to extend Its domain or to
acquire foreign territory. He made no
mention of Mexico, but to those w ho heard
him It was evident the trouble In the situ
ation there and the suspicion In the South
American republics as to the Intention of
this nation, in regard to Its neighbors, had
Inspired him.
"One of the difficulties the Cnlted States
finds Is the natural suspicions thnt the
countries engaged have of the motive
which the I'nlled Stales has In tcnderln;
Its good offices." continued the president.
"Asseveration of good faith helps hut lit
tle where the suspicion Is real, and yet I
like to avail myself of an opportunity In
such presence as this to assert that there
is not In the length, and breadth of the
United States among Ita people any desire
for territorial aggrandisement and that Its
people as a whole will not permit Its cov
emmcnt, If It would, to take any steps
In respect to foreign peoples, looking to
a forcible extension of our; political power.
"We have had wars, and we know what
they are. We know what responsibilities
they entail, the burdens and losses and
horrors and we would have none of them.
We have a magnificent domain of our
own In which we are attempting to work
out and show to the world success In. pop
ular government and we need no more ter
ritory In which to show this.
Help Other Nations.
"But we have attained great prosperity
and great power. We have become a pow
erful member of the community of nations
In which we live, and there Is, therefore,
thrust upon us necessarily a care and re
sponsibility of tha peace of the world in
our neighborhood and a burden of helping
those nations that cannot help themselves.
If we may do that peacefully and effec
tively." The president spoke to several thousand
persona In tha Ltfrlo . theater. Cardinal
Gibbons. Secretary. .Dickinson. Senator
Gore of Oklahoma and Andrew Carnegie
and more than a doxen men, leaders in the
movement for world peace, sat on tha
platform with the president.
Cardinal Gibbons and Hamilton Holt,
president of tha conference, who spoke be
fore tha president; voiced the opinion that
the negotiations of th eproposed arbitra
tion treaty between the United States and
Oreat Britain would mark the greateat stop
toward universal peaoe that the world
has aver seen.
I "An arbitration treaty, between the two
great nations of th eWorld," said the presi
dent, "would ba a very Important step In
! securing the peace of the world. I do nut
claim any patent for a new discovery In
that suggestion because I have no doubt
It has often been made before.
Arbitration Only a Step.
"If such an arbitration treaty can be
concluded I have no doubt an Independent
step will have been taken, but It will not
bring an end' of war. It la a step only;
and we must not defeat our purposes by
enlarging the expectation of the world as
to what Is to happen and by then disap
pointing It.
"We must realize that we are dealing
with a world that Is fallible and full of
weakness, with somewhat of wickedness In
It, and that the reforms that are worth
having are brought about little by little
and not by one blow."
The president waa particularly Interested
In the speech by Dr. J. A. MacDonald,
editor of the Toronta (Cpnada) Globe, a
warm advocate of reciprocity.
"if ttaat arbitration treats between your
country and ICnglund Is ratified," said Dr.

Above ail other nations Canada has tha
greatest stake in the propoued treaty; ahe
haa the most to gain by peace, tha most
to lose by war.
"Canada deelrea the peace not for her
self alone, but for the sake of the whole
world. The time to do it Is at hand. Tha
