HE IS IN SAN FRANCISCO Baron DTEstournelles de Constant Brings Out Arguments by Telling of Conflicts Between Ilia Nation and Russia. SAN mANCISCO, April i-The use laasness of war. with the conflicts) be tween France and Russia as the par ticular Illustration, was preached here tonight In the First Congregational Church by Baron D'Estoumelles de Con stant, the eminent French Senator, who haa been speaking throughout the United State a for tha oaiaas of International peace. It waa his first address in English In this city and was listened to by a large audience. He said In part: "In leas than a century. French armies have carried war Into Ruasia, flmt to Moscow and then to the Crimea. Neither of these wars haa been taken to heart and remembered by the Russian people, and they have not held France respon sible. Hatred Not Shown. "Neither at Moscow in Napoleon's time nor in the trenches before Sebastopol did the French soldiers discover any sign of hostility, hatred or incompatibility among the Russlana. The past haa van ished; liking and affection spring up from the first direct contact between the two peoples, and . the France-Russian alli ance seems a if It had always ex isted. "And yet the two governments, before they came to .an understanding had long regarded war between the two countries as a natural and necessary state of things to be generally accepted In virtue of reasons of state. ' The .governments believed that both nations were bound to bate each other, while the people themselves as'Sed for nothing better than mutual confidence. While the two gov ernments were deciding for war, the two nations were friendly, and neither defeat nor bloodshed nor bitterness has been able to stifle this sentiment. Life Not Brought Back. "It was all very well for governments to admit that they were mistaken, but that did not bring back the victims to life and to the service of their country. During a visit I paid to Moscow, It seemed as If I were living the trials and sufferings of our unfortunate grand army ail over again. . "Was It a dream? It seemed to me aa It France's children were lying asleep under the snow and that aa the train approached, they rose up and held out their arms imploringly. The saddest thing of all waa to have no reply to make to their doleful cry: 'We died for nothing.' " ELBE SAWMILL BURNED Flames Work $100,000 Damage In Fast-Spreading Fire. TACOMA. Wash..

Estrada and Hernandes Gonzalee arrived at El Paso tonight Gonzales, it was said today by Juan Canches Azcono, a member of the in surrecto Junta here, la the representative of Minister Llmantour. Senor Azcona emphasized the statement that tha El Paso programme is of necessity Informal, designed to result in a real and binding conference If the preliminaries succeed. -trada is e. lawyer and a member of the Junta. His home is in Mazatlan, Mexico. Delegation to Wait at El Paso. Senor Azcona eald that the delegation named will wait at El Paso, If they go into Mexico at all. for passports giving them the fullest assurance of safety. It may not be necessary for them to leave American soil in caj Francisco Madero, the younger, has declined LJraantour's tentative proposals and, as hoped, has dispatched a massenger from his camp to tn Paso. Should the trip into Chihuahua be necessary, automobile will be used over the direct route from El Paso, the rail road being out of commission. Members of the Junta today reiterated in a general way their comments on President Diaz' message to Congress as being unsatisfactory. Revolt Is Minimized. It makes no direct reference to any real move on the government'9 part to secure peace. In fact, it is held rather to minimize the Importance of the re volt. Important reforms are advocated, but the pressure of the revolutionists In securing them is not recognized. The tnsurrectos held that Diaz must do more than his message promises. He must resign and make way for a free election. Senor Azcona declared that should formal and binding negotiations result, they must be held on neutral soil, and that their contents must be made public on neutral soil. This is a detail of the recognition which the revolutionists claim as their right. The Associated Press Interview secured with Francisco Madero. Jr.. in the field west of Chihuahua was read with in terest. It waa accepted aa a definite statement by the rebel leader of his demands the basis for any negotiations of a formal character. 3 SOLUTION'S ARE PROPOSED Mexican Rebel Agent Points Way to Securing Peace. WASHINGTON, April 2. Pointing out that the message of President Dias to the Mexican Congress indorses the statements of the Mexican revo lutionists. Dr. Vasques Gomez, head of the confidential agency of the insur gents here. Issued a statement tonight suggesting two solutions of the trouble in Mexico. ' The government of President Diaz, he declares, "by throwing aside its pride and furnishing proof of its pa triotism," may treat openly with the revolutionists, putting an end to the conflict and arranging "the best man ner of guaranteeing the reforms and Just demands of the revolutionists," or the war may continue to Its final tri umph, which Dr. Gomez believes Is not far distant. . Dr. Gomez says that if the revolu tionists are obliged to pursue the lat ter course, he hopes that "in the in terest of Justice and humanity" the United States will recognize the bel ligerency of the Insurrection. "I say in the interest of Justice and humanity," says Dr. Gomez, "because up to the present time, inasmuch as the government of General Diaz has insisted on treating the revolutionists, as bandits, they have not been able properly to organize a medical service to attend to the wounded and the sick, and the burial of the dead. At present if a member of the Insurgent medical service Is taken prisoner by Diaz' troops he Is shot immediately." In his analysis of the message of President Diaz, Dr. Gomez says he found much of encouragement to the cause of the revolutionists. His state ment In part follows: "General Diaz' message to Congress 14 very Interesting because at the bot tom it admits that the revolution is a Just one, and has for its object the betterment of political and sooial con ditions In Mexico. For this reason I am more than ever firmly convinced that the revolutionary party shortly will triumph." PEACE RUMORS ARE REVIVED Maderos Hold Conference In El Paso With Gonzales Garza. Eli PASO, Tex., April 2. Revivals of peace rumors were started tonight with the arrival of Francisco I. Madero, Sr., and Alfonso Madero, father and broth er of the Mexican lnsurrect'o president. They came from San Antonio and went at once to their hotel. To reporters they refused to make any statements. Aaked If he bad come here on a mission of peace, the Senior Madero said: "Perhaps so; I will tell you later." Replying to a question as to when he had last seen his son, Francisco, he said: "I have not seen him since he left San. Antonio three months ago or more." Gonzales Garza, lnsurrecto Secretary of State, met the two Maderos and ac companied them to their hotel, where a conference opened at once. For some time Garza has been declaring that he did not believe in the peace rumors. So far as can be learned there are .no representatives here of the federal gov ernment, but the lnsurrecto Junta Is supposed to be in communication by courier with F. L. Madero,. now with the army near Chihuahua. In an interview given the Associated Press tonight at the close of the con ference, Alfonso Madero declared he was unable to maker' known the object of their visit to El Paso now, but expected to be able to give out something tomor row or Tuesday that would throw light on their visit. He Indicated, however, that flgfitlng would continue unle6a de mands were being prepared by the men In the field. He would .not, however, make known the nature of the demands. J There are at present being offered to the public more than one hundred different types of player-pianos good, bad and indifferent. Many manuf actnrers have rushed upon the market player-pianos which are incapable of giving proper musical ex pression, impracticable in their construction, which lack dura bility, and are, in fact, unworthy, both musically and mechani cally. Every prospective buyer of a player-piano should investigate most thoroughly the claims made by different dealers. He should know not only the piano, the mechanical construction of . the player contained within its case, the materials and work manship embodied in its making, but he should know, as well, the musical capabilities of the instrument what he can accom plish musically without the skill of the professional demon strator and, most of all, should he know the character and stability of the house of which he buys. J We do not claim that we have the only good player-pianos, but we do claim that we show the best player-pianos in the world. We make the statement, and it is easily proven, that musically and mechanically our line i? the best, the most dur able and satisfactory in the "West. Cf Our house is restricted to no single agency; bound to repre sent no particular product, under obligations to no manufac turer; therefore, we buy only that in pianos and in player pianos which years of experience has taught us to be the best possible at the price, and we do not hesitate to back our judg ment with absolute guarantees as to the quality of our goods. Our line of player pianos is consequently many times larger than that of any other house, offers better opportunity for com parison, and a much wider choice in type, style and design "J i e urc-e you to inspect and test before you purchase the Hardman, Kroner, Fischer, Knabe, Emerson, Hobart M.
