tbe United . States Intervened between

paaceful persuasions averted war.

optimist." said the prealdent. "I do not
look forward to a complete restoration of
peace which cannot be disturbed In the
world, even If these arbitration treaties
are adopted. ' Morality of nations Improves
only step by step and so the making and

garded only aa a step but aa a long step
toward the securing of peace In the world."

prealdent. "of greater Importance, exer
cised by. tba government, after the pres
ervation of law and order and tba main
tenance of liberty and rights of property,
than the duty of the government to fur
nish the people a currency system which
shall glva them a constant and unvarying
medium for the measurement of values
and the Interchange of products that ahall
enable business to proceed In a normal
way."

broke a clinch with two powerful lefts to
the Jaw and they mixed It, each fighting
viciously. They went to close quarters
wwlth Wolgast hooking his lett viciously
to the Jaw. Then he started the blood
from the Briton's mouth with a volley of
short arm lelts. A body blow by the
champion, delivered with great force closed
tuts tound which waa decidedly In Wol
gast's favor.
Rounu a Moran's supporters shouted at
him to keep away, but the Englishman
rushed in. vVolgast rocked his head with
short arm punches and paved the way fur
a volley of lefts, by sending In rights to
his stomach. Moran, fighting back gamely,
aent Wolgat tottering across the ring with
a hard right to the Jaw. Wolgast bled

shot a stilt left to the face and again they
roughed It with their arms locked. Wolgast
aoing me greater execution. Moran drove
a straight right to the jaw and then
clouted the champion with a left to the
same place. Wolgast sent his right with
great force to the body and they seemed
disinclined to break from a clinch. Wol
gast hooked a left to the body and drove
the Briton against the ropes. They were
quickly back In th center of the ring,
fighting like tigers. Wolgast's seconds
tauuted Moran, to which the Britisher re.
plied: "He won't get me today." And
then protested vigorously to Referee Welsh

a hard right to the face. They danced
about the ring and Wolgast landed twice

seemed the stronger as the bell ended an

attendance haa been so great that senators
who came. to the hearing room late had
difficulty In getting good seats.
John H. Marble and J. J. Healy, attor
neys for th committee, taking advantage
of the recess, are searching for new evi
dence. Hundred cf letter have been re
celved by tha committee investigating new
lines of evidence, commenting on the char
acter of witnesses already heard by the
